Lightroom Adjustment Brush too Faint to See

Using Macbook Pro 13 inch with LRC. Normally at home use a 27 inch monitor, but on vacation and so I'm using the laptop's screen.

I can barely see the adjustment brush concentric circles and + target, especially when the brush is being used on beige, blue, flesh colored image components. I have tried changing flow, density to 100% with no improvement. Am I stuck with this very hard to see brush or have I somehow changed a setting that mutes the intensity of the brush parameters?

Thanks in advance!

You can change the color of the mask the brush applies by pressing Shift -O (that's the letter O, not zero).

Thanks, but it is not the overlay/mask I can't see. It is the concentric circle/target brush.

The Radial Filter?

Not sure what you mean? The problem is with the circle with a Plus sign in the middle and a concentric outer circle representing the amount of feather applied by to the adjustment brush. On my Macbook Pro the circle is a very weak white color and is only well visible on black, white backgrounds. I can't find any option or preference to intensify the boldness, color, or general visibility of the tool. I suspect it is just the way it is on the small macbook pro (13 inches) and can't be improved; hopefully someone will prove me wrong.

As offered, in LR preferences, you can adjust some brush settings. Try that, if not already done.

There is not an option to adjust the visibility of the brush circles and center plus sign.
