The problem is that when I'm using small enough brush, it seems I can't have anything else than a crosshair. For example, if I'm using brush of size 4px and I'm in 25% zoom. Nothing wrong with crosshairs, but when I'm outlining fine details while zoomed out to get the proportions right the crosshair kind of blocks the part of the image I'm most interested in: the part where I'm drawing (so I guess theres "something" wrong with crosshairs after all..)

CapsLock, funny enough, will change the crosshair.. into another type of crosshair. Ha ha, Adobe, good one. Almost good enough to make me angry.

I have both; "Show Crosshair in Brush Tip" and "Show Only Crosshair While Painting" unchecked.

When painting/drawing with Photoshop I've always liked the "Full Size Brush Tip" the best. Normal Brush Tip is fine as well, and the crosshair works only when the brush is actually bigger than whats shown on the screen.

This has been a problem for long while, so if a solution would take rise, it would be highly appreciated! Thank you.

I don't believe there's a solution. You can't disable the cursor (at least not within the application). So, your only alternative is zoom until it's not an issue. – Scott Feb 12 at 22:46
There is no solution inside photoshop. Only system solution, like that thefreewindows.com/3335/… – sergeydyadyul Feb 13 at 13:45
