Question

Red overlay on brushes is missing in 2020

Installed the new Photoshop 2020 yesterday, and the red overlay on brushes didn't work. Spend a couple of hours with support - no luck.
Today I started Photoshop CC and the red overlay was there! Checked that I had EXACTLY same settings in both programs - still no luck in 2020 😞
Does anybody have the same problem?

    So, it seems this problem is back in version 25.0.0.

     

    Any other corroborators?

      As of the 22.1.1 release (2021-01-12) the overlay is now showing up again. 

      And the fix is noted in the Fixed issues list below.

        Sigh. Not for me. Maybe a setting has changed. How can I try to force the appearance of this brush preview overlay?

        Same problem here on my iMac. Arg... I even waited for this update thinking the bugs would be worked out by now. A solution would be nice.

        So i switched from mac to windows to work properly with photoshop (in mac it was bugged and crashed everything in 20-30 minutes of work).

        Today, in a fresh installed system, i miss the red overlay too...

         

        Thanks photoshop and adobe professional team!

        A fix for this would be appreciated.

        It seems that's a bug in the 22.0.1 version.

        There's an entry in the Photoshop bug forum:
