Hi, I have the pnewnosfoshop 2021 installed. I'm using a graphic tablet with PS and i don't see the Live Tip Preview, I know that to activate it I have to click on the "eye on a brush" button on the Brush window, but it is no longer there. Can someone help me?

I have Windows 10 if that's any help

 

Also, on the previous version of PS I had (2020 21.0.0) the button was there, but it was gray, i could not press it.

The Live Brush Tip Preview that was removed was for the Bristle, Erodible and Airbrush brushes.

 

 

 

What yor talking about is different and a bug that hopefully will be fixed.

The live brush tip preview window was removed in/after photoshop 2020.1 version (v21.1)

Just to be sure:

Holding the ctrl-key and the alt-key (sorry, I'm using a german keyboard, it's the two keys in the lower left side of the keyboard) on the Mac and dragging the mouse upand down or left and right does not show the brush size and hardness any more? Because that's what I am missing.

If so, this really can not be intended...

I'm not convinced it's been removed. Mine was working in PS 2021 for awhile. As I was using the Command + Options keys combined to adjust my brush, I thought I might have accidentally pushed a key that disabled the feature but it turns out that's not the case. It's being said that it's a known issue in the latest release. Fortunately, the brush itself still works.
