On Lightroom 2.5 - What happened to the Softness Brush?

What happened to the Softness Brush on 2.5?

I got these instructions from others;
If you open the Preset Tab of Preferences, you should see a button near the
bottom that says Restore Local Adjustment Presets. Try clicking  that.  
OR,
Installing 2.5 should not affect your presets. I still have mine. That 
said, Soften Skin is simply a preset that comes installed by default. 
The settings are:
Clarity = -100
Sharpness = 25
Everything else  set to 0
If you have presets that are not showing you can check Edit > 
Preferences > Presets and see if Store Presets with Catalog is checked. 
If it is, uncheck and restart Lightroom to see if that brings them back. 
Otherwise you can just create a new preset with the above  settings.

  • What happened to the Lightroom 5 Beta forum? Deleted, not archived or merged?

    What happened to the Lightroom 5 Beta forum? I understand that LR5.2 is now in full release, but it would be nice if the Beta forum was locked and archived for reference. It seems to have been completely deleted, along with some detailed feedback by myself and other Beta testers. (I can't find it if it is archived, anyway.) None of my many, many LR5Beta forum contributions are listed in my "Content" tab in my Adobe profile. All of the links to the LR5Beta discussion in which I contributed to (such as http://forums.adobe.com/message/5271729#5271729 ) lead me to this message:

    Big thumbs up for Pete.Green and Daniel T! Thank you for this incredibly fast response! I worked very hard on explaining my "Advanced Adjustment Brush" proposal back in May 2013, and I am glad that it is again available for reference... in fact, even better, as it appears that the thread is now fully unlocked and availble to reply to. I still firmly believe this proposal is the way forward for Lightroom's local adjustment tools in the future.  I hope that the remainder of the LR5Beta forums will eventually be brought back for reference.

  • What happens when the CC trial ends? What happens when offline?

    I need Lightroom to work offline on my laptop. What happens if I need to sign in to CC when there is no interned connection and what happens when the CC trial ends on both my laptop and desktop?

    Thanks for answering. I have the standalone version of Lightroom 6 on my Windows 7 64 bit desktop. A number of times when have tried to open the program, the Adobe Application Manager has popped up requiring me to sign in even though I had not knowingly signed out. Lightroom will not launch unless I am signed in. Frequently when Lightroom launches, I see a "Server Busy" message telling me to "switch to the other program" without telling me which program to switch to. I have pinned the AAM to my notification area and have unchecked the "Show OS Notifications box" to see if the "Server Busy" message goes away. So far everything seems to be okay
    Again, thanks for answering me

  • What happened to the T4i? Seems like it was here then gone...didn't seem to last very long.

    What happened to the T4i? Seems like it was here then gone...didn't seem to last very long. Did it have major problems?

    "How do you like your 7D?"
    Westy,
    In my opinion the 7D is the 'best buy' in a professional level DSLR out there. The pro level featuers are many and the downsides are few.
    If you couple the Canon 7D with the Sigma APO 50-150mm f/2.8 II EX DC HSM, you truly do have a fantastic set-up at the most value considered, reasonable, price.
    EOS 1Ds Mk III, EOS 1D Mk IV EF 50mm f1.2 L, EF 24-70mm f2.8 L,
    EF 70-200mm f2.8 L IS II, Sigma 120-300mm f2.8 EX APO

  • What happens to the catalog with an improper shutdown?

    I am wondering what happens to the catalog when lightroom does not shut down properly.
    After using lightroom for almost 2 years with no problems, the past few days have just been insane with issues and lost work.
    Today, our power went out while I was working and when I turned my computer back on, sure enough my catalog was corrupt.
    Thankfully It was able to repair itself. It got me thinking though, I have had this happen a few times before in the past couple years and I have NEVER had a damaged catalog until this week. What happens with an improper shut down that screws the catalog up so badly?
    I am now to the point where I am terrified to work in fear that I will lose everything. I am hoping the XMP thing will save my butt in the future, but should I always have to be worried like this? Lightroom just doesn't feel as strong as it used to now that everything we have worked on this week has been damaged...

    A crash of any sort while you're working with any complex application with major work going on is disheartening/frightening/annoying. I have been fortunate to have escaped any O/S or power deficiencies in my time with LR, but no one is completely immune.
    If you have major stuff going on and aren't backed up the way you'd like, just quit LR, make a copy of the current catalog, .lrcat, and relaunch. You can also send the metadata to the files, as you've noted, but I like the former way. Or do both!  -Hope this helps allay some fear.

  • What happens to the open item in bsid table when it is cleared

    hi experts,
                   i have a doubt about open and cleared items of accounting documents. as we know open items of customers are stored in bsid and cleared ones in bsad. For suupose, an open item is closed ina particular period then what happened to the entry in bsid and bsad table. an entry regarding is stored in bsad (cleared),and what happens to the entry in bsid, still it will be there or removed from it.

    Hi,
    When ever we clear the document(Complete payment) that document will be moved to BSAD table. Other wise it will remain in BSID.
    If u are making partial payment then all the partial payment documents along with original document will be stored in BSID till u made the complete payment for that invoice.
    Assumption is u have to give all partial payment documents made for particular invoice item while u are making complete payment in F-28 transaction. So that these partail payment documents will also be cleared while making complete payment and moved to BSAD table.
    This trasaction can be used for both partial and complete payments.
    Irrespective of complete or partial payments made all the documents will remain stored in BKPF and BSEG tables.
    BSID and BSAD are index tables to address performance issues with BKPF and BSEG tables.
    So all open and cleared documents will be there in BKPF and BSEG tables.
    All cleared documents will be there in BSAD table.
    Alll open documents will be there in BSID table.
    Hope it is clear.
    Thanks,
    Vinod.

  • What happens to the mail in my iMac after I delete it from my iPhone? Will it be deleted from my computer as well?

    What happens to the mail in my iMac after I delete it from my iPhone? Will it be deleted from my computer as well?

    If they are both using the same iCloud ID (assuming you are running your mail from iCloud), then yes, the email will disappear from your Mac after you delete it from your phone and after your phone sycs with iCloud and your Mac syncs with iCloud.
    I use a windows phone, but it works the same.

  • Just upgraded to 5 from 3 - what happened to the page select icon? Can't find it in customize toolbars.

    Used to be you could select which page you wished to go back or forward to from the arrow icons on the navigation toolbar. The history menu item only shows 10 sites without having to open history for today. What happened? Is there another icon or a new plug in for this functionality? I used it all the time.

    ''what happened to the page select icon (Back/Forward)''
    The back/forward buttons have been moved to right-hand side of the navigation bar and the drop-down was removed. User right-click or hold click for one second to see the tab history. This is item #5 in my list.
    The History menu also has "Open Previous session" and "Open closed windows",
    to see more history use the History sidebar ("Ctrl+H") or the History Library List ("Ctrl+Shift+H") and sort or view by "Last visited".

  • E4X: What happens to the root element?

    I'm working with XML using the E4X notation. I'm used to the "old school" XML APIs that use DOM and I'm a bit confused.
    For example, let's consider the following XML
    <mx:XML id="myXML" >
      <top>
        <sub1 id="uno">
          <sub2>hello</sub2>
          <sub3>world</sub3>
        </sub1>
        <sub1 id="duo">
          <sub2>ok</sub2>
          <sub3>ko</sub3>
        </sub1>
      </top>
    </mx:XML>
    In my code I use the following traces. This is done with the De MonsterDebugger, but all others should work the same way. I have casted the traces to String only to make it easier to ask this question (no need post images)
    MonsterDebugger.trace(this, "myXML:" + myXML);
    MonsterDebugger.trace(this, "myXML.sub1: " + myXML.sub1);
    MonsterDebugger.trace(this, "myXML.sub1.sub2: " + myXML.sub1.sub2);
    What I get as output is
    (String) = myXML:<top>
      <sub1 id="uno">
        <sub2>hello</sub2>
        <sub3>world</sub3>
      </sub1>
      <sub1 id="duo">
        <sub2>ok</sub2>
        <sub3>ko</sub3>
      </sub1>
    </top>
    (String) = myXML.sub1: <sub1 id="uno">
      <sub2>hello</sub2>
      <sub3>world</sub3>
    </sub1>
    <sub1 id="duo">
      <sub2>ok</sub2>
      <sub3>ko</sub3>
    </sub1>
    (String) = myXML.sub1.sub2: <sub2>hello</sub2>
    <sub2>ok</sub2>
    All is fine above and this was a bit long abstract for my question. The question is what happens to the root element, in this case <top>? I was trying to access the data with the following notation
    myXML.top.sub1; // etc
    I spent quite a lot of time trying to get it to work, until I discovered that the root element is not used. Can anyone explain this?
    Or, I guess the simple explanation is that the root node is ignored and the sub nodes are created as properties of the object. The question also could be stated as: Why isn't this documented in the Flex API Reference?
    Thanks.
    P.S. I found this article on common E4X pitfalls which also has other interesting topics when working with E4X.

  • What happens to the original photo after editing?  Does it get replaced by the edited photo?

    I just bought my first iPhone(5).  On Android, when editing a photo, the original stays in your gallery and the edited photo gets placed right next to it.  So what I want to know is, When editing a photo in the photo app, what happens to the original since it would be nice to be able to make different edits of it.

    That is an excellent question. This is definitely not the programmed behavior of Photoshop Elements. Normally, when you edit a file, a new copy of the file is created (the original is simply left alone). This new copy of the file will have "_edited-1" added to the end of the name. It should definitely not be adding $ to the name at all.
    Just as a test, create a new user account on your computer, and try editing another image to see if does the same thing there. However, I suspect there is another application on your computer that is modifying how files are saved, deleted, and renamed.

  • What happens to the while loop iteration counter if it runs unchecked?

    I want to use the iteration counter to initialise a value on the first loop of a while statement. ie i = 0, x = 100. Fine. The application I am building will be left to run for weeks or months on end without stopping (hopefully :¬)). What happens to the iteration counter in this situation? Does it reset to 0 or what? I don't want it reinitialising any values while the loop is running other than when it starts.
    I set up a while loop to try to figure out what happens and the iteration counter stops at 2147483648 which is 2^31 - 1.
    Any help would be appreciated,
    Thanks,
    Niel.

    It might be something you already looked at, but perhaps it's an option to perform the initialization outside (before) the while loop. That way it will be initialized correctly only once, no matter what the iteration counter does.
    Of course if you need the counter for other purposes than initialization you might have the same problem...
    Note that a lot of the timer functions also overflow after a certain time (I believe 24 or 48 days?) so be careful running very long loops (but you already knew that probably).

  • TS2972 I just updated all of our computers to itunes 11 and now when we try to use our home sharing, we can't import songs.  What happened to the easily located "import song" feature?  I wish now that I wouldn't have updated to the new itunes 11.

    I recently updated all of the computers in the house to itunes 11.  Now when we try to import songs from homesharing, we are unable to.  What happened to the conveniently located "import song" button on the old version of itunes.  Please help an old mother out please!

    diesel vdub, i use 11.1.1
    solved the issue today. first sync with itunes, so all the stiff you bought on the mobile will be backuped.
    1. uncheck sync music in itunes and sync. all the music will be erased from mobile device
    2. check music player on the mobile device. just the unwanted songs will still be there
    3. go on the iphone to settings, general, usage, music player. there is just a few mb from the remaining unwanted songs. swipeleft and erase the content. switch iphone off and on again
    4. repeat step 2. there will be no data. otherwise repeat step 3
    5. check sync music in itunes and sync. all the music will be back again but not the unwanted songs.

    Hi g,
    Many features have been lost in Numbers 3. You can send feedback to Apple with Menu > Numbers > Provide Numbers Feedback.
    And... playing the Devil's Advocate, have a look here:

    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5470448?start=240&tstart=0
    I enjoy running both versions of Numbers (Numbers 2 and Numbers 3) at the same time. They each have strengths and weaknesses.
    Numbers 3 did not replace your Numbers 2 (Numbers '09). Look in a folder called iWork '09 inside your Applications folder. And enjoy.

  • What happened to the nifty "sync" button in iTunes? It syncs as soon as I plug it in, and that's great! BUT! When I go to the iTunes Store and buy new stuff, I can't just 'sync' the device again so my new stuff gets added. Why?

    Nothing happened to it.
    It is still there.  Maybe it says apply now, not sure, but it is still there.
