Why Can’t I See the Circle on the Brush in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 3:14 pm

Have you ever been working on a project in Photoshop, only to find that you can’t see the circle that indicates the size of your brush? It’s a frustrating problem, but luckily, there’s a simple fix.

The reason you can’t see the circle is because the “Show Brush Size” option is turned off. To turn it on, go to the “View” menu and make sure that “Show Brush Size” is checked.

Once you’ve done that, you should be able to see the brush size indicator when you have a brush tool selected. If you still can’t see it, try opening up the “Brush” palette (Window > Brush) and making sure that the “Size” option is selected.

PRO TIP: If you are having trouble seeing the circle on the brush in Photoshop, it is most likely because your foreground and background colors are not set correctly. To fix this, simply press the ‘x’ key on your keyboard to swap your colors, or click on the ‘foreground color’ and ‘background color’ icons in the toolbar.

If you’re still having trouble, it could be because your brush is set to a very small size. Try increasing the brush size by clicking on the “Brush” icon in the toolbar and choosing a larger size. You can also use the “[” and “]” keys on your keyboard to quickly change the brush size.

Once you’ve got the hang of it, being able to see the brush size indicator can be a huge help when trying to get precise results in Photoshop. So next time you’re struggling to see your brush circle, just remember to check the “Show Brush Size” option!
