Question

CS4 bug: brush cursor display is incomplete

Just installed CS4 under WinXP, 4G RAM.

I've set my brush cursors to show full size. The cursor displays correctly for brush sizes up to about 150 px. Beyond 150 px, the circle representing the brush size gets truncated: at 170 px, it's down to a half-circle, at 200 px it's down to one-third of a circle, and at 300 px all that remains is a small curved line segment.

    Please contact NVidia with details of your card and system so they can fix the bug in the appropriate driver for your card and OS.

    By the way, I wanted to emphasize that the larger the cursor gets, the more of it disappears, to the point that you're only seeing a sliver of it - which makes it pretty much UNUSABLE because you can't see where you're drawing.

    Same issue on the secondary monitor.
    Latest Nvidia drivers installed (6.14.11.8043).
    Evident bug.

    Geforce 8800GT (512 Mb) on board.

    I too am having this problem with the cursor beginning to disappear around 200 px. I've finished downloading and installing an updated nVidia driver to no effect.

    This problem occurs whether Open GL is enabled or not.

    I'm running Windows XP and did not have this problem with CS3 or any prior version of Photoshop.

    Downloaded latest NVIDIA driver and cursor is now working.

    Onward to new bugs/features of CS4

    'sigh' finally it has arrived and is installed - no brush problems and everything seems good.

    Now that`s funny, that problem is even visible in nvidia`s own presentation at:
    http://www.nvidia.com/object/adobe_photoshop.html
    Go to "brush rezising" there. If you look carefully at that video you can see that the brush circle is only half visible when it is big!

    My cs4 has been shipped so I will find out tomorrow - I'll report in after I've installed it.

    >chris farrell:That's rubbish i.e.clipping - my brushes never really go below 150 pixels - I will be really annoyed if I see this issue with my 8800gts 640mb card and cs4.

    Just a data point. I do NOT have the clipping problem in either 32bit or 64 bit PS CS4 on my system: Vista Ultimate 64, Q6600@2.4GHz, 8GB RAM, nVidia 9800GTX+ with 178.24 drivers, 2 SamSung SyncMaster 225BW monitors.

    This is a known issue, which NVidia is working on. If the most recent driver doesn't solve the problem, keep checking for new drivers.

    Dave - I'll pass this on, but you might want to let NVidia know that you're using a Cintiq. That sort of thing always complicates matters. ;-)
