Brush Cursor don't work correctly in Adobe Photoshop CS 5

I'm in the same position. Professional photographer. I run Photoshop CS5 on a new Mac Mini Server running Lion. I find it difficult/impossible to get a professional workflow with this combo.

What I have discovered tonight is that the brush sizes affected are related to the zoom factor (screen size?). That is roughly between 900-1500 px when the image is displayed full screen (between the pallets),

I contacted Adobe here in the Netherlands yesterday because i saw no recent news on this subject, they said it was an Apple issue and should be solved with 10.7.2. Dowloaded 10.7.2. yesterday but that didn't fix it.

Apple/Adobe: please take us serious!

Same here. Adobe Germany says that they do not offer support for the server-editions... so Photoshop remains unusable and Apple seems not to react. Maybe they do not know the problem? Is there any way to tell them?

The problem is with the drivers for the Intel 3000 graphics.

ok, meanwhile I found some kind of a solution: in dual-monitor-mode the brushes work as they should.

FOUND A WORKAROUND: . . at least it works in my configuration (for two days in a row now).

If I have my external screen (Eizo CG223W) turned on, in standby mode, when i boot-up my mac, and the mini wakes up the screen from it's standby mode: the Photoshop brush issue is there.

If i have the external screen powered off during boot up, and power the screen on manually afterwards, the brush issue is not there

I have no explanation for this but it is a workaround (though not for Macbook Pro users).

There's one issue though: my mouse preferences are changed with this boot-up procedure, the speed is lowered to half speed and i have to change that manually in System preferences every time.

Does this work for others who have this issue too?

Today Photoshop does not work the way it should allthough I'm using a second screen (yesterday everything worked quite well).

Apple should update the graphic card driver as soon as possible - but I'm pretty sure nobody cares in Cupertino. Maybe they should offer a solution to install 10.6 on Mid 2011 Mac Mini...

I will wait for 10.7.3. If the problem is not solved within the next big update. I'll go back to Windows and will never ever buy a piece of Apple hardware again.

Lion ***** but Apple tells it's perfect - hey guys, you need glasses....

Yep - running on two monitors was a workaround for me. Opening my MacBook pro so it's monitor was active seems to have fixed it for now.

PHEW!!

Has there been any update to this issue? It's been months and I'm still having the same problem (Macbook pro 13" 2011 version with Intel HD Graphics 3000. It's very frustrating and makes any type of group editing almost impossible.

I've got the same issue come on apple don't let us professionals down

Ok Apple do I have to sell this laptop and get another one so I can actually use photoshop?? Does anyone from apple actually monitor these forums and problems?Do they even care?I'm becoming very disenchanted with apple

Thank you for letting us know there is a light at the end of the tunnel for everyone having this problem Aleksey. Is it still working in the 10.7.3 beta? Or has it reverted back to 'not working' again.

Also, when is the stable 10.7.3 update supposed to be released to the general public.

Thanks, Alex
