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.

    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.

    Brush Cursors are clipped when larger than 64px. This is one of the known issues with CS4 using the GPU reported by Adobe. They will likely fix it in the 1st patch.

    Hi Tina. I upgraded my Master Suite last evening and have the broken cursor issue. I'm running the newest Nvidia driver (178.26) on a Quadro FX 4600. Are there any particular settings / profiles that should be adjusted within the driver control panel to remedy this? The issue makes it pretty difficult to use the software.

    *Update* The issue seems to occur when Photoshop is on my secondary monitor (Cintiq 21ux). The primary display does not seem to have the issue.

    NVidia has released a new driver - please try that one.

    Has everyone else seeing this issue updated their display drivers? Please do so, and then post if it solved the problem or not - and post what specific video card you're using. Thanks!

    >That's annoying - does it do it to custom brushes too?

    Yes. It's an issue with how the brush "texture" overlay does not work within a given memory tile. You can also see white fringes on the cursors on systems that show this behavior, as obviously it also affects transparency blending. Maybe some day a patch will give us back the option to do this properly on all cards... *sigh*

    I solved this problem by updating my graphics card drivers (nVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT.)

    That's annoying - does it do it to custom brushes too?
