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

Working for second day, no issues with brushes! Not in PS, not in LR3.

But don't use 10.7.3 Beta, there are other bugs and larger than "brush issue"! But atleast, Apple is doing something with this problem.

Regards!

That sounds terrific, but are you saying that more problems have arisen in 10.7.3 than before or that it is pretty clean in terms of bugs inside Lightroom and Photoshop?!

P.S. Thanks for the swift reply!

Theare are no more bugs with Adobe products. Atleast as I see. Bugs in other places. That's just a Beta , there can be bugs. But I don't want to talk much on public. Beta software are confidential, and Apple don't likes it. 😉

I completely understand that, thank you so much for helping. I was so near to changing my whole workflow from Adobe products as it was that bad in terms of useability and convenience but now you have given me the knowledge that I hoped for. I just have to wait now and that's it.

😀 Thanks so much Aleksey

@Aleksey Leonov - happy to hear the brush issue is being considered. Did you get any impression of preformance improvements?

Adobe, oh! Adobe!

They just rewrote the whole thing in CS5.

Millions maybe Billions of code, that is not yet fully compiled the way it should be but they try.

I believe most of the problems will be gone in CS6 and when they make everything 64bit.

But there is no way that every App should work 100% after an OS update, not without the developers of the program with the problems, issue an update to fix this.

It is not easy to keep everything compatible.

Every time is a risk, some things will get broken, some won't.

Some developers will instantly react with an update some will take more time.

It is a painful proccess, so my advice is you either take the risk or you wait to check out if everything will work fine(compatibility charts) or your App update from the developer and then you update OS.

Professional Applications are not an overnight fix and out of the door. And if an OS would wait for the compatibilities "OK" to be released.... it would never be.

Some of us early adopters are the reality testers, beyond BETA.

If the risk is to high, WAIT...

Yes you're right to a great extend Athanasios. We have to be professionals ourselves too. But:

I looked at Adobe's 'known Photoshop issue' page and they didn't mention this bug. Not even after this issue had been discussed extensively here and on the Adobe forum.

When I mentioned this to a Adobe employee on the Adobe forum he replied that it was not mentioned on their Photoshop Mac 'compattibillity chard' because it was not an Adobe issue but a Apple issue . . . !? But the cause is irrellevant to us users. Adobe leaves us out in the dark like this. If i would communicate with my clients in such a way, I would loose clients verry quickly! You can warn your clients of serious issues even if you think it is something that is not your fault or out of your control.

No support is perfect and they do try to blame each other.

Thing is they have to work with each other more tightly to satisfy the needs of the customers... but this is an utopia so far.

I am in the field since 1984, never happened!

But it would not be irrelevant to us users because that way our results would be only subjective.

We should try to pin the problem and the blame down, to be fair. It' not easy but we get some objectivity achived.

Anyway as I said I do not believe a user should rush updating when things could get to risky.

Developers are only humans like we are and there so much they can do.

If you consider the number of Apps they are out there it's easy to realize that 100% compatibility check is practically impossible. Most of the times I am just happy things don't really break like they used to do when I was working with Windows (besides the Roseta thing but.. Hey! the developers had plenty of time to switch, so...)

Good News. Just installed 10.7.3 Beta on my own risk. Apple Fixed that issue! Thank You Apple!

There are only two possibilities: you are running a legal version and are therefore barred from mentioning anything about it - so you are violating your NDA........ or, you are running an illegal version; in that case, it is not advisable to be discussing that on an Apple forum.

I too have this problem on a new Mac Mini Lion Server (2011). I hope this person here making claims about the upcoming Lion update is not giving me false hope. It's a maddening problem, and I fear it will not get resolved because not all graphics cards have the compatibility problem. Apparently, it's only machines with the Intel HD300 graphics card.

I would like to report the bug to Apple officially. Maybe if enough people do that, they'll take notice. I can't, however, seem to find any link for reporting bugs to Apple! How do I do that?

Just installed the OS 10.7.3 update.

The brush problems seem fixed!

(At least with my configuration: Mac Mini Server, Eizo CG223W, Photoshop CS5).

Thanks Apple.

yes fixed at last I wont know myself I'll be able to use the brush size that i want...

This problem seems now to be fixed by Apple in 10.7.3
