Daniel C Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 How can I enable the cursor of pen and erase brush tool? It is hard to use the erase tool without the cursor. Thanks. paulstar08 and SilvRO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM1 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 There is currently no pen or brush 'cursor' in the iPad apps (Photo and Designer). I turn on 'ShowTouches' in Settings Preferences as this shows a small blue circle where the pencil (or finger) touches the screen. Not perfect but when using Apple Pencil it gives me at least some idea of the relative edge of the eraser or brush.

However, until the Devs provide a 'real' alternative I guess there's no other alternative. It's been on the iPad Photo (and now Designer) feature request list for a while so there is hope.

harrietofthesea Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Any idea if this has been addressed? This is driving me insane, and I can’t seem to find a way to set a visible outline for the eraser size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
