ACR 5.2 Targeted Adjustment Tool has no drop down menu

Hello
I've just started playing with Camera Raw 5.2 and I cannot get a drop down menu for the targeted adjustment tool. When I click on it the icon remains "depressed" and I enter the tone mode. In order to get to the other modes, I have to move to the appropriate tab.
I guess I could use the key board short-cuts but I would like to know why I don't get a drop down menu.

How amazingly simple - just a bit strange as drop-down menus usually appear on a single click - thank you very much

Photoshop CC tools not accessible & drop down menu commands greyed out for no apparent reason.

Hi... I've been having this issue with Photoshop CC recently where in the middle of editing an image file all of a sudden none of the tools work. When looking at the drop down menus most of the commands are greyed out, except for a few. When looking at the image box, the filename at the top is greyed out. I can't even choose to quit photoshop as this option is greyed out. I can do things like toggle through the "Change Screen Mode" (F Key), and when i select a tool it's icon appears on the screen, but I can't apply it. After about 5 minutes it seems to correct itself & I can go on working with the image.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Well, that could indicate a dialog box appearing somewhere in the background or off screen, not even necessarily from PS itself. Also of course check the option for the restore data and incremental saving. Perhaps you are just seeing that...

Make sure that you use Adobe Acrobat, not Adobe Reader.

HT1351 Itunes 11 no longer has this drop-down menu for me to manage resources manually. Where do i find such settings?

I am missing the nav-bar on the left of the itunes where i use to be able to create playlist and drag-and-drop (drag and drop) things into my Iphone.
It's now missing for me to do that.
How do i re-enable that view?

i figured it out. Just press Ctrl+S, or go to View and click on SHOW SIDEBAR...duh! I feel so stupid now.
this document here is helpful though: http://www.tuneupmedia.com/blog/index.php/2012/11/itunes-11-whats-new/

How to display further information when a drop down menu option has been selected.

Hi all,
Thank you in advance for any replies!
I'm building a website which has a drop down menu (HTML for the menu is below). When a TV size is selected i need the pricing information for that specific TV size to appear below the menu.
Is there a way to do this?
Thank you!
<select name="Please select your TV Size" size="1">
        <option> </option>
        <option>Less than 42"</option>
        <option>More Than 42"</option>
      </select>

Sure it is. And Nancy has given you a good alternative as well.
      <p>TV1 <input id="num1" type="radio" checked value="tv1" onclick="document.getElementById('tv1').style.display='block';document.getElementById('tv 2').style.display='none';this.checked=true;document.getElementById('num2').checked=false;" ></p>
      <p>TV2 <input id="num2" type="radio" value="tv2" onclick="document.getElementById('tv2').style.display='block';document.getElementById('tv 1').style.display='none';this.checked=true;document.getElementById('num1').checked=false;" ></p>
<div id="tv1">Info for TV1</div>
<div id="tv2">Info for TV2</div>
With this CSS -
<style type="text/css">
#tv1 { display:block; }
#tv2 { display:none; }
</style>
Should work.

Target adjustment tool Menu does not appear

Hello
I use ACR 7.1 and I have a problem with this tool : when I clic on this icon on the top tools bar I have no menu I should get a menu with parametric curves hue saturation luminance but nothing. Of course I could use the HSL part on the right interface but I would like to know why my ACR behaviour is not has it should be.Thanks

Thanks for answer but it is not what i meant: what I said is I have no dropdown menu when I clic on Target adjustment tool icon
Uh huh...didn't I mention the fact that by default when you click on TAT you get Parametric Curves by defatult (and no, it doesn't change to the the panel, by design). If you want HSL or Grayscale you need to click on the panel to switch from curves...
You would be better off learning the actual behavior...

Beginner Question- Unable to Use Eyedropper and Targeted Adjustment Tools

When trying to use the eyedropper or targeted adjustment tools (in the HSL menu), I will grab the tool and hover over my photo and my cursor changes to the magnifying glass. When using the eyedropper the preview will reflect the white balance but when I click my photo is enlarged instead of using the tool. Help please! I know there must be a simple answer, I am just a first time user of Lightroom (previously used Bridge/Camera RAW) and am getting very frustrated. Many thanks

Yes. I've seen the same glitch occur on Mac. Not sure what is happening, but I agree, it is maddening. I stumbled upon a solution that works for me:
Press the Q key (cursor changes to the Healing Brush)
Press the W key (should now change to Eyedropper-White Balance tool)
Now the Eyedropper may work again.
I know right? Doesn't make sense, but whatever has happened to cause the Eyedropper to not work but instead bring up the Magnify tool, this sequence seems to bump it out of the glitch -- at least it's working for me.
Hope that helps.

(BUG with) - Targeted Adjustment Tool

The Targeted Adjustment tool will stop functioning after I use the magnifier.
When I attempt to use the tool, it only functions as a magnify glass.
When I quit Lightroom and relaunch it, it restores the Targeted Adjustment tool back to a functioning state.
One thing that may be triggering the bug is that I often use the photoshop keyboard commands for magnify +/- out of my 15 year habit with that tool, and it works in Lightroom too, but is this causing the Targeted Adjustment tool to suffer?

I think I also see this now (and a work-around).
I did the following:
1. Open Lightroom and go to Develop.
2. Select the Target Adjustment Tool (like tone curve).
3. Press (and hold) Spacebar, while holding that down, press (and hold) command
4. Click to zoom in.
5. Release the spacebar, then release the command. The cursor still shows a hand with the move-around and zoom functionality. Clicking the Target Adjustment circle in the Tone Curve box does not restore adjustment functionality.
Workaround:
6. Now press (and release) Spacebar. The target adjustment works now.
It appears that Lightroom does not recognize any spacebar commands while the command key is being held down. I can't enter zoom mode by holding command and then holding spacebar, and I can't exit zoom mode by releasing spacebar while command is down. In this case, it seems that pressing and releasing spacebar afterwards (when command is not down) sends the "spacebar-up" command and Lightroom gets out of the zoom mode.
Note that I can't get this to happen with any other ordering of presses/releases.
Does this help? I agree that this definitely is a bug. Now that we've narrowed it down, how do we forward this on to Adobe? Is someone reading this that can forward this on?

Targeted Adjustment Tool

I'm new to PS, so please bear with me. When I click on the targed adjustment tool (in hue/saturation adjustment layer) and then try and click on something, for ex. teeth, everything disappears and the cursor goes to the bottom right corner (show desktop). When I slide the cursor back up everything comes back up when I try and do it again the same thing happens. I've tried multiple times and just can't seem to get it to work. Any ideas?

Here's a suggestion that might help. Give the mouse a rest and use keyboard shortcuts.
In the Develop module use the Z key to toggle your zoom view. Then use shortcuts to enable/disable a TAT tool (e.g. Ctrl+Shift+Alt+S to enable the saturation TAT and Ctrl+Shift+Alt+N to disable TAT). While a targeted adjustment tool is active the Z key can be used to zoom.
Also, when a TAT is active hit the space bar to temporarily change the TAT into the zoom tool.

Targeted Adjustment Tool in Camera Raw 5.2

Thanks Tom for the Targeted Adjustment Tool it works great.
Where can I find documentation on the SNAPSHOT function?

The keyboard shortcuts are:
Cmd-Option-Shift T switches to parametric curve TAT
Cmd-Option-Shift H switches to Hue TAT
Cmd-Option-Shift S switches to Saturation TAT
Cmd-Option-Shift L switches to Luminance TAT
Cmd-Option-Shift G switches to Grayscale mixer TAT
If youre on Windows, replace Cmd with Control and Option with Alt.
Click on the TAT tool and unless you are specifically got the HSL/Grayscale panel open, the default TAT will be Parametric Curves. Click in an area in the image with TAT the active tool and whatever the targets tonality will go up/down depending on whether you move the morse up/down.
Switch to HSL panel and the target will be whatever sub-panel is active: Hue, Saturation or Lightness. The TAT works the same what in HSL, click in the image and drag up/down to adjust the targeted color.
Other than that, it's practice...
Oh, and it'll be covered in depth in RWCRCS4 (which is why it's late...so i could be sure of including the Camera Raw 5.2 update throughout the book).

Target Adjustment Tool

I am using CS5 12.0.4 64 bit, Vista OS. The targeted adjustment tool lightens/darkens the entire photo instead of just the area targeted. Don't know if tool ever worked because I never tried to target one area before. Thank you for any help. Maryann

That is the way it works in many adjustment panels. It is somewhat different in saturation panel and others.
But levels, curves, others affect the entire image, that is one of the main uses of masks, to limit the effect of these tools to certain areas of the image..
Half the fun is learning the application, but it is a broad and steep curve.
lots of luck.

Adjustment panel and the Targeted Adjustment Tool

I have assigned the F3 key to toggle the display of the Adjustments panel. However, whenever I have an adjustment that includes the Targeted Adjustment Tool (such as curves) the F3 key activates the TAT rather than dismissing the Adjustment panel. I have to move to a non-TAT adjustment to allow F3 to dismiss the Adjustment panel. In fact, any Fn key will activate the TAT rather than it's assigned keyboard action. Is this normal behaviour? If so, it's most annoying.

No one else seeing this problem? It does not happen in CS4.
I'm guessing the "bug" appeared after I had set the Auto-Select Targeted Adjustment Tool. I have since removed the Auto-Select feature but now any Fn key will select the TAT rather than dismiss the Adjustment panel. You have to move to an adjustment without a TAT for the Fn key to dismiss the Adjustment panel. Definitely a workflow annoyance.
