how to create a colored brush rather than the desktop arrow

[tsinsf]

I was watching Sean Bagshaw videos on using luminosity masks in PS and noticed rather than a desktop arrow (also the clear brush tool is colored) he had somehow converted it to a colored feathered brush. Any idea how to do this? I sometimes loose my brush and have to spend a few moments finding it.

Not sure what you mean by "desktop arrow." Are you talking about the cursor? Maybe if you posted a screen shot of the feathered arrow you referred to.

Yes, the cursor.

This isn't a direct answer to your question, but if you're using a Mac running (I think) Mojave or later, it will respond to rapid movement of the mouse back and forth by temporarily showing the cursor as a very large arrow. Like you, I lose the cursor from time to time and find this very helpful.

Yes, the cursor.

I think you just want to create a custom cursor: https://youtu.be/OuJhCuNqFbU

Why not just contact Sean?

It's probably cursor highlight software such as https://cursorattention.software.informer.com/ designed for webcasts or videos. Google may find what will work for you.
