Tool framing circle

[BenDE]

In Photo on the Desktop there is always the mouse-position and that's why we have an always-on circle on the screen.

But on the iPad, I don't even have this tool circle when I actively use and move a tool.

I didn't find a setting to change that and I find it strange. I can't see at all how big my tool is and where it works.

Should this still come or where do I activate the surrounding border?

Hi BenDE, 

Unfortunately not at the moment but any change of zoom level will show the preview size for a moment, or of course making a brush size adjustment.

It isn’t really so strange! On a desktop or laptop computer you can determine the cursor position by detecting mouse movement, but on a tablet there’s no way to know the position of a stylus or finger until it touches the screen.

I hope it comes permanently soon, while I paint I would like to recognize the "sphere of activity"? without having to try and remove so often

Can you paint without touching the screen?

It might be possible (feature request) to use a modifier gesture or flag similar to „protect alpha“ to show only the brush size, without actually applying the brush. Using the zooming as suggested by Lee as workaround is possible, but sometimes you want to strictly avoid changing zoom unnecessarily

@Alfred I am not talking about the position, I'm talking about the sphere of activity of the tool (do not know if this is a good translation for it's sizing affects).

I often paint beyond something because I can't see with flow and transparency what the real scope of the tool is.

Do you have and work with an iPad with this software?

 

What? I paid for these programs but I can't even post something 5 times a day? What's that all about?

Thanks for the clarification. Your translation is perfectly understandable!

The suggestion from @NotMyFault sounds like a good way for the developers to address the problem:
