  • Adjustment brush causes screen to go black momentarily

    On a few, but not all images, my screen goes black for about 5 seconds while I am using the adjustment brush in the Develop module.
    I am running LR 4.4 on Windows 7, with I7 CPU and 8GB of RAM.  No other apps are running; the resource monitor shows I am using very little CPU and about 50% of memory.  I have an Intel HD Graphics 3000 card, and a Sony monitor running native resolution at  1920x1080.  
    I switched to a different image, of the same subject, and started making lots (about 50) adjustments with the brush, and I did not have any issues.  I also exported the 2 images to a new catalog (to make sure I wasn't having a problem with my catalog being too large) and had the same experience. 
    Has anyone had this experience?  Any solutions?
    Thanks in advance for your feedback.

  • Adjustment brush causes Lightroom to quit

    I have Lightroom 4 and just updated it to the most recent version last night.  I run it on a Mac OSX. Everytime I try to use the adjustment brush, Lightroom unexpectedly quits.  I never experienced this problem until today.  How do I resolve the issue?  And could it be related to updating Lightroom? Thanks!

  • Grainy caused by adjustment brush in LR5(need help)

    I just realized when I printed some of my photos that I adjusted in LR5, the pictures looked so grainy.
    I notice, the grainy only shows in some part of the pictures (the one that I brushed).
    Does anyone experiencing this problem with adjustment brush.
    Can someone help me with this? am I doing wrong with LR5?

    I know off is supposed to be no color but for some reason it's a faded blue color.  The little rectangle next to color that's supposed to have a sort of 'X' from the corners isn't gray, like it's supposed to be, but blue.
    As far as I know, I only have 1 catalog.  I went to Edit->Preferences->Presets and I do not have "store presets with catalog" checked. I checked it and have now found the presets I asked about.  Thanks much.
    Still can't figure out the mask overlay thing and it's really annoying to have to keep turning it off.

  • Adjustment Brush in Lightroom 5 has a different sized effect smaller than the brush size

    Hi,
    When using Lightroom 5 Adjustment brush, the effect is only in the inner half of the brush size circle. In other words, if you select a 1 inch brush to darken, only about the center 1/2 inch is being darkened. I'm 100 percent sure the brush has no feathering, and all the settings are fine. An expert told me to try to get rid of preferences, and try it, and it still does the same thing. Now, I just updated to LR 5.7 hoping maybe it will fix it, to no avail. The LR on my laptop behaves perfectly fine.
    Attached is a screen shot and a phone shot (excuse the moire, I had to use a phone to show the brush size properly) to show settings and the effect I'm talking about, so it's perfectly clear.
    I have been putting up with this for months, but it's driving me crazy. Also, it occurred to me that all adjustments I make might 'change' later when I fix it, and it might show up unknown to me when I export the files later. And this would waste hundreds of hours of work if something resets somehow.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
    Thanks in advance for all replies!

    This problem is caused by changing the cursor size in the ACCESSIBILITY settings in your OS.  Here is a screen shot from the Mac but Windows has similar settings.  I reported this in Lightroom 2 or 3 and it is STILL not fixed. (Adobe's bug fixing rate to me is pretty dismal)   If you change your system cursor to anything except "Normal" you will get this behavior as Lightroom doesn't account for the system preferences.  I would like to make my cursor bigger but this prevents it.

  • Lightroom 4 Adjustment Brush Crashed

    Hi,
    Was editing an image in the develop module, applied the adjustment brush for saturation to the sky area, then pressed the "O" key to see the brushed area and Lightroom 4 crashed. The adjustment brush was set for 100% flow and auto masking with only the saturation slider adjusted to +12. I restarted Lightroom and brought up the same image and went to apply an adjustment brush, but as soon as I clicked on the brush Lightroom locked up and I got the following weirdness on my screen:
    Kind of strange - thought you might like to see it.
    Now it seems that attempting to do anything with this particular image will cause Lightroom 4 to lockup and display the weird little box. However, I am able to edit other images.
    Message was edited by: batracy

    Ok, after further testing I have found the following:
    1) If I close all other applications, I don't get the weird little black box that looks like a media player. I had Outlook 2007 open previously.
    2) Any use of the adjustment brush fails to set an anchor point and causes Lightroom to stop responding.
    3) Any use of the "O" key to show the brush strokes will cause Lightroom to hang.
    4) Any adjustments have a noticeable lag between making the adjustment and seeing it on the screen.
    As mentioned earlier, my system is:
    Windows 7 64 bit with all updates applied
    Intel Core2 Dual CPU running 2.6Mhz
    4GB memory
    Nvidia GeForce Graphics card
    Over 1TB of disk space
    Lightroom 3.6 running amazingly well for me - no lag time unless the file size exceeds 1.5GB which most of the time my images are smaller than that.
    Let me know if there is any additional information you need, or things you would like me to check.

  • Adjustment Brush edit bug verified by Adobe

    Adjustment brush edits that turn off have been acknowledged as a "bug" by Adobe see http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/problem_with_adjustment_brush_tool_i n_adobe_camera_raw Someone on a Mac posted the same problem. From feedback to my post, I had thought it was just a Windows 7 problem.
    Problem is more serious than my post on Oct.16. I have discovered it is more than a Preview issue. An Adjustment Brush edit that is (momentarily) not showing in ACR 7.2 or 7.3 will not be carried over to Photoshop when you update the file into PS CS6 as a Smart Object. So you made multiple Adjustment Brush edits (for example Exposure, Highlight and Clarity) only to discover that not all the edits made it to the Photoshop Smart Object.
    See original Oct. 16 post to see screen shots provided by Noel Carboni that verify bug. http://forums.adobe.com/message/4792575#4792575 Includes specs of my Windows 7 x64 machine.

    Okay, I know I'm just talking to myself here, but I wanted to leave another update. It's not nTune, (at least I don't think that had anything to do with it).
    I've come to find that when I have Firefox (v3.01) open, the problem appears. With FF closed, it's gone. No other program that I've tried causes the same issue. And as far as I can tell, FF doesn't cause problems with any other software.
    This is a strange problem indeed, but I guess if it comes down to having FF closed while I'm working, so be it.
    Anyone have thoughts as to where the conflict is coming from?

  • Cannot control size of adjustment brush in Lightroom 5 Develop mode

    Whenever I click on the adjustment brush tool in Develop mode, its circle of influence automatically expands to the maximum diameter.
    Even when I try to contain the dimensions of the circle via the LR5's size slider or left bracket key, the adjustment brush diameter remains at the max diameter.
    Please advise.

    This problem is caused by changing the cursor size in the ACCESSIBILITY settings in your OS.  Here is a screen shot from the Mac but Windows has similar settings.  I reported this in Lightroom 2 or 3 and it is STILL not fixed.

  • 2.1 and Adjustment Brush Prob Return

    Ironically, after having fixed adjustment brush lag and slider sluggishness by maximizing performance in the Nvidia 3d settings, installing 2.1 has caused the problem to return.
    The problem was completely resolved before. I could rapidly paint large areas of D300 images with repeated strokes, or with one extended very rapid uninterrupted stroke back and forth across an area stretching from side to side and representing about one third of the screen.
    Before upgrading there was absolutely no lag or subsequent sluggishness in the amount slider no matter how hard I tried to induce it. Now, the slider sluggishness is as bad as before.
    I have tested this by resetting half a dozen of the same images that I worked the brush on prior to the upgrade to RC 2.1 and performing the same actions with the brush as described above. I have 2.0 installed on the other side of my dual boot windows Intel 9550 Quad and there is no lag on that side with the same images and adjustment brush use described above.
    There is no doubt that the problem is back.
    Has anyone who had 2.0 adjustment brush problems tested 2.1 yet?

    LR2.1 not stable for me. XPS630, 4G, XP Pro, nVidia 8600,
    LR 2 worked fine.
    Adjustment brush (using Wacom or mouse) doesn't lift reliably and leaves streaks.
    Brush at times will activate zoom instead of painting an adjustment.
    Brush won't stop editing session - can't start new brush - no edit control point for previous adjustment brushes
    Have restarted LR2.1 numerous times, rebooted, etc.
    I'm going back to 2.0 tomorrow.

  • HELP! Lightroom Crashes Only with Adjustment Brush and only when using HDMI output!

    This is very frustrating. I use my Acer N56V laptop to teach Lightroom workshops. I use a 32 inch television as a display. When I have my laptop attached with an HDMI cable and try to use Lightroom's adjustment brush, it crashes. Either the screen and computer just shuts down or I get the Blue Screen of Death. I can do anything else! I can edit in Photoshop, do anything else in Lightroom or even Silver EFX Pro. I can even click on the adjustment brush. But the minute the brush hits the photo (and not before), the computer crashes. If I don't have it attached to the HDMI or if I use a Serial cable, no issues. It's only the adjustment brush and only the HDMI output.
    I called Adobe and they said it was because my onboard video card was primary and not the Nvidia. I called Acer and they said it's auto detect. I also tried making the Nvidia card primary and it still happened. Any ideas???

  • Local Adjustment Brush does not work in Windows 7, 64-bit

    All other tools and functions work OK.  My issue is just with the Adjustment Brush;  The Adjustment Panel opens when the brush is selected and the brush moves, but none of the adjustments are applied to the image.  The problem is clearly related to the new operating system.  This was just confirmed, by removing the hard drive with the Windows 7, 64-bit OS,  and inserting an old hard drive with Windows Vista, 32-bit installed. The adjustment brush works fine with the old OS and the same version of PS.
    My normal monitor resolution is 1920 x 1200 with a DPI of 151; however, this DPI is not compatible with PS, so I reset it to 149 evey time I use PS.  Lower screen resolutions and DPI settings don't resolve the problem. I mention this only because of a previous cursor problem that was resolved by changing the DPI.
    I'm using CS4 with Camera Raw version 5.6.  Version 5.5 also does not work.
    Can anyone offer suggestions?

    Problem solved.  One of the recent upgrades to Camera Raw reset the flow rate to zero, which I did not notice until after posting the message.
    Sorry for the error.

  • CS4 raw editing, global adjustments versus useing "Adjustment Brush"

    I had made a post earlier about CS4's raw editor hanging when working on .cr2 files ( canon). It seems that the raw editor works fine when makeing global adjustments, but when using the adjustment brush to make selective adjustments the program hangs for extended times. A global brightness adjustment will go thru in a couple of seconds at most, where as a photo with a few selective adjustments made to it will hang for as long as 5 minutes or more. Moving the image around is fluid when dealing with a image that does not have selective adjustments, and hangs when dealing with an image that has selective adjustments. The program seems set up to make selective adjustments ( it does have a selective adjustment brush after all ) but useing that option seems to cause such massive problems that it is un usable. The raw editor seems to use 50 to 100% of the proccesor during the hang time, and there is no disk activity which leads me to believe that there is not a problem with not haveing enough ram.
      I would appreciate any help that can be given with this problem

    First off let me say thank you for your responce.  But if what I have been doing is
    selective tone adjustments, not HDR
    That doesn't change the fact it would be a feature that can enhance the image process none the less.
    But not all the images I process are single shot images... I actually take time to scout a spot. Then I take about 3-4 shots at different exposures. Go into Camera Raw and and make different versions(snapshots) of those images.  Then create a document for each of those (snapshots) Then I open in a HDR program... NOW Photoshop HDR... and process them. The effect is different than the normal way of converting images into HDR... I think even more precise, or at least in my opinion.  So creating a feature like this will give the user the ability to streamline the workflow.
    So much of what you described doesn't belong in the HDR plugin, but is already available as tools in ACR or Photoshop itself.
    But what about the HDR adjustment brush tool I suggested?  That really sounds like a good possibility that people would like to utilize when creating HDR images.

  • Loosing Adjustment Brush previews in ACR 7.2

    When I move my cursor over a pin (call it pin #1) the area controlled by  pin #1 looses its preview - appears to revert back to the unedited state. (Same if I actually click on that pin, as if I mean to add to that adjustment brush edit.) If I then move the cursor over another pin, any pin,  the preview view returns to the area controlled by pin #1. 
    This happens with a RAW image that has just 2 adjustment pins as well as as one that has a dozen adjustment brush pins . Clicking the Preview off and on does not cause the preview to return to the pin that has lost its preview. Doesn't matter if the RAW file is using process 2012 or 2010. Happens to NEF files from a D300 as well as D800E. Doesn't matter if Enable Lens Profile Correction is checked. I have turned off and then back on the Use Graphics Processor in Prefs, and changed Image tile size (Does that affect ACR?)

    Saw your note in the other thread.
    I needed to test this; I don't use the Adjustment Brush much, so I wouldn't have noticed it.
    When I HAVE used the Adjustment Brush in the past - though quite possibly never in 7.2 as I reverted back to 7.0 for other reasons - as I would hover over a pin it would put a white "fog" over the image to show where the adjustments are effective.
    I've just done a test where I created two obvious adjustments with the Adjustment Brush in the shape of A B on the top of a dark image.  A and B each use different pins.  I then chose [Done] to save the adjustments.
    With Camera Raw 7.0, when I open that image back up I see the adjustments, and when I select the Adjustment Brush and hover over each of the pins I see following:
    Open Image:
    Select Adjustment Brush:
    Hover over left pin:
    Hover over right pin:
    Move cursor off right pin:
    With Camera Raw 7.2, I see this:
    Open Image:
    Select Adjustment Brush:
    Hover over left pin:
    Hover over right pin:
    Move cursor off right pin:
    Yep, looks like a bug all right.

  • Missing adjustment brush in ACR

    I have PS CS6 with the latest updates, using a Mac Pro computer with OS 10.7 also with the latest updates. When in ACR, the adjustment brush does not appear on the screen unless I click the bracket keys which increase or decrease the size of the brush. If I paint a segment and the let go of the brush key, the brush disappears again. The adjustment effects work properly once I have brought up the brush by pressing the bracket key. I have to keep re pressing the bracket key if I am painting adjustments on multiple parts of the photo. I have restarted Photoshop and the computer numerous times, thrown away and reset the preferences for both Photoshop, Camera Raw, and Bridge, as well as repairing disk permissions on my Mac. Any suggestions?

    If it was a PC I'd suggest seeking an updated display driver, because a missing or partial cursor is a pretty well-known sign of a display driver glitch.  As it is a Mac you pretty much have to wait for a display driver to come in with an OS update.  You might want to let Apple know that it's doing what you're seeing with your particular hardware.

  • Bug? Vignetting & Adjustment Brush

    Hello.
    This if my first post, so please don't be too harsh if I make any mistakes. I encountered a bug (well, at least I think it is one) while using LR3 on Win7.
    While editing my images I added a post-crop vignetting. After finishing the colour & contrast stuff, I went on to retouching. After "inserting" the first adjustment brush, the vignetting changes, which, I think, shouldn't happen, because I dind't even touch any area near the vignetting. See the screenshots for details. (Sorry for the black areas, I didn't want to show the person I photographed.)
    The difference is not very well visible if the screenshots are placed next to each other. However you can open both images in different tabs and switch between them, then you should definitely see it. Has anyone noticed that behavior before? Or does anybody have a clue what's happening here? I would be even happy for workarounds because I use both tools very often.
    Thank you!
    Luc y Lou

    I'm experiencing this bug as well. In addition to the extra strength post-crop vignette that happens, I'm also getting blotchy tiles where the post-crop vignette is supposed to be when I apply an exposure brush, as seen in the attached screen grab. Takes some fiddling around to make it go away. Usually turning off the "Effects" tab then turning it back on clears it up.
    I'm on LR 3.2 using an iMac i7 quad 2.8ghz, 12gb RAM, ATI 4850 card 512mb V-RAM, plenty of disc space, working on Canon 5DMk2 raw files. Cache has been cleared and catalog optimized.
