Brush size limits at 5000px

So it seems that photoshop limits the adjustment brush sizes to 5000 pixels.
Now with the new Mavic 4 pro I am using for work, and its 100MP sensor, it is really quite small for some adjustments. It would be really helpful if the limit was way bigger.

Hey, @roberts49347804. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I'll help you figure this out. 

 

The 5000px limit applies to the Brush and the Adjustment Brush tool. In your case, the Mavic 4 Pro produces a file with dimensions approximately 12288 x 8192 pixels. 

 

You can create Adjustment layers from Window > Adjustment & use Layer masks to refine further. Head here to learn more: https://adobe.ly/3IO0cBD

Let me know how it goes. Thanks!

What kind of Adjustments are you talking about? 

Could the Gradient Tool (or Gradient Layers) approximate what you are after (in some cases at least)?
