I really need to change the brush and eraser cursor to a dot. The standerd customization is not enough, I just need a dot (i use very small curosr and i need to get rid of the cross that appears). Please tell me there is a solution, I'm not afraid to change same codes or icons file inside the program. Big thanks.

Hi there,

As you want to change the brush & eraser cursor inside Photoshop, please go to Photoshop's Preferences > Cursors and choose Normal Brush tip then Click on OK.


Please let us know if it helps.
Regards,
Sahil

That's the standard icon i use, but I gets really annoying when you use a very small brush tip and the cross outside the preview appears. I just want a dot, with no preview of the brush. A single dot, nothing more. I tried to change some svg files i found inside the program, but it didn't work.

Many Thanks.

This is such an important and simple detail.  I wish there was a way adobe!  I need it in illustrator  - a simple dot - not an "X" blocking my work.  Please add this feature today.

Hello,

this posting is a bit older but I have the same problem an would like to habe a single Dot instead of a crosshair in PS. I hate to paint with the crosshair and all the other standard possibilities. Due to this Problem I use "Clip Studio Paint" for drawing an painting. In this Program choosing a Dot is a standard Feature. I really would love to use PS for my paintings...but the missing Dot always stops me using it.

 

Is there a solution for this problem in the meantime?

If you are using a Windows system then Lazy Nezumi Pro has that feature.  I am forever telling people that LNP is the single most useful add-on for Photoshop as it has so many features, and at $35 it is a steal.  Unfortunately there is no version for Macs.
