Brush Red Overlay Is Missing

Simple answer I'm sure but I can't figure out what I did. When I make the brush larger or smaller I was getting a red overlay preview, but now it's not there. It coincided with me updating to the most recent CC update, so I'm not sure if this is related.

Thanks in advance for your help

    With help from Adobe support the Preference file was corrupted. A new one was created and now my issue is resolved. Though I'd follow up.

    Yes indeed! I talked to adobe-support andn also downgraded to 22.0.0

    The brush preview is back there!

    Let's hope it will be solved in the next update...

    At least, support said they are working on it.

      Btw: I just downgraded to PS 22.0 using the creative cloud app. Took me only a couple of minutes and the brush overlay is back!

        Yep, same here. After updating to PS 22.0.1 no brush preview anymore, which is very unhandy to say the least.....

          Add me to the list of people who deleted their preferences file, restarted PS, and the brush hardness still does not show up in red. Grr.

          I am having the same issue and have tried all of the above. Is this something from the latest update?

          I'm in the same boat as ya'll with the most current update. V22.0.1. Let's hope Adobe can get a fix for this as it's a pretty important feature for retouching.

          Hi there,

           

          I have the same problem as you described, unfortunately all the sollutions given don't work for me. I reinstalled Photoshop, I deleted the preferences directory, etc. Is there another way to solve this problem? Adobe made a new preference file for you, can you do this yourself?

          There must be a recent issue with this as mine has just dissapeared today too. 

           

          Would be great if this could be solved I have tried all the above recomendations!

                A complete new install of photoshop did it, and was the fastest way to solve this...
