I've just downloaded the new photoshop update (22.01) and I noticed there is no classic red area when you change Brush size and feathering (when using keyboard shortcut OPTION+CONTROL).

@LuisLucky I've done some testing on Ps 22.2.0 running on Win 10 Version 20H2, Build 190742.746 and find that the red HUD brush aid works for most of what you'd call the standard, plain vanilla brushes. For many of the "custom" or more specialized brushes provided by Adobe, the red HUD aid does not show. It's hit and miss.

PS 22.2...MAC/OS Big Sur 11.2.1 -- I also had the problem. Took me a while to realize that the brush hardness/size indicator had mysteriously changed from the familiar red to white of all things. When I changed "Preview Color" back to red using Preferences, only appears to work for legacy brushes

@JeffreyTranberry I've actually never been able to get the red brush preview function to work in PS. I'm running Big Sur (v. 11.2.2) and I remain current with my PS updates (now 22.3.0 - but it hasn't worked for me in several versions). I'm running an iMac with a 5K Retina display, 2016 version.
I've tried to see if one of my preferences isn't set correctly, but everything seems fine - and I've changed them all one way or another, but still no red cursor (w/ info) when changing brush size. I used to be able to see it, but ... not for a long time.
Maybe I'm changing the brush size the wrong way? I typicall use the bracket keys. I'm at a loss here.

I should be more specific. I use a Wacom pad and, yes, know to hold down the control and option keys with the brush tool to invoke the HUD (just learned the name today). In my case, the red brush preview doesn't work - I just get the round unfilled circle. In addition, only brush size and opacity appear - each controlled separately by dragging the cursor up/down or side to side - but not hardness. Maybe this issue is related to the issue with Select and Mask not working for me.
Je viens de mettre à jour la version 22.3.1 de Ps et j'ai essayé la fonction d'aperçu du pinceau. L'aide au pinceau rouge de l'affichage tête haute (HUD) fonctionne toujours pour moi. J'utilise Win 10 Pro 20H2 (Build 19042.867).
*PeterMilk Vous ici ?! En tout cas j'ai fait la mise à jour et je n'ai pas le problème, mais c'est sur mac. À tout hasard est tu sur de ne pas avoir une opacité à 0% ?
Voici une pensée. Accédez à Edition> Préférences> Curseurs et assurez-vous que la sélection de couleur de l'aperçu du pinceau est définie sur n'importe quelle couleur sauf le blanc. Cela a peut-être été modifié d'une manière ou d'une autre.
Notez également que l'aide à la brosse HUD rouge fonctionne pour la plupart des brosses à la vanille standard. Pour la plupart des pinceaux "personnalisés" ou plus spécialisés fournis par Adobe, l'aide HUD rouge ne s'affiche pas. Assurez-vous que vous n'utilisez pas de pinceau non standard ou personnalisé.
