Did The Brush Cursor Silently Change In Photoshop CC 2020?

UPDATE: From comments in the community, so far I am seeing this happen more with Catalina+PS 2020 (21.X) than with Mojave. I am getting some Windows users experiencing it (but not all)

Being someone that is pretty much glued to Photoshop, I found myself wondering why it became much harder to retouch in recent memory. Specifically, when I dodge and burn, the cursor tends to blend into the image to the point where I can’t see it often. It used to happen to some extent in the past, but it got much worse. I knew my eyes didn't deceive me, so I decided to take a closer look!

In this video, we compare a couple of different Photoshop versions so you can see the problem and when it happens.

This happens every time I place my brush over an area that is pretty much close to a midtone (or 50% grey). It also happens in color too. I am currently using OSX Catalina. I am not sure if it happens on Windows as well but I would love some input from the audience if it does!

Here's a crop of the file so you can see if it reacts the same for you on PS CC 2020 (21.1)

If anyone else has this problem, I recommend going to Creative Cloud and downloading the oldest version of Photoshop that it will let you in order to fix it.

If you don’t have this problem or notice it happening more regularly, consider yourself fortunate.
