brush stop working

Report · Oct 18, 2023

Hi guys,

I'm currently on a Macbook with the M1 Pro chip and I have a problem with the brush in either Lightroom classic and Photoshop since I got the new Macbook. I'm on the latest macOS and on the latest versions of Photoshop and Lightroom.

If I try to use the brush in Lightroom, I can hover around OUTSIDE of the image. As soon as I hover OVER the image the cursor gets stuck and i can no longer move it. The effect of the brush is applied however, I just cannot see where I'm painting. Most of the times it works when I lower the brushsize, but there's no fixed size where it occurs.

And the same problem with Photoshop. I have a feeling there's a link between the brushsize where i can move the cursor and the resolution of the image, but I'm not sure about that.

Restarting the Macbook and/ or LR/PS does not solve the problem.

Does anyone have or had the same error? Can't find anything on the internet.

Are you using a two monitor setup?

No I don't.

The funny thing is, I just wanted to make a screen recording to show the problem and after two years, it's the first time it's working properly 😄

Okay the problem is back again. I made a short video. As you can see in the first two strokes i used a relative small brush size and it's working just fine. As soon as i increase the brush size the cursor get's stuck at the edge of the canvas but it's still "working" i just cannot see where i paint. It's the same problem in Photoshop and Lightroom.

Hmm, you may want to unmark my reply as correct, members may not see that you need help, if the posting is marked as solved.
