I am running High Sierra (was on Mavericks) and I updated my PS to 21.2.7 (I can't go any higher) and now when using the ctrl alt brush size shortcut the red overlay is missing. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and reset preferences. I don't know what else to try but I hate not having it anymore. Any ideas?

Hi

It's working fine for me with Photoshop version 21.2.7 using Alt and right clicking with the mouse

Have you checked that your GPU is been detected and that OpenCL is enabled in preferences

Do oyu know if the VRAM would have an impact on brush lagging? thanks

Lots of things can affect brush performance. Check settings first: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/optimize-painting-and-cloning.html

So it seems to be a thing. But I can't go back to an older version. This is my only option. The newer version is not compatible for me. Under older versions this is my only choice. What do I do Adobe? This is a big issue.
