Adjustment Brush coverage/Raw 7.1

Downloaded 7.1 beta to open Cr2 files from Canon 5D Mark3. Onle real hitch I have found in using the adjustment brush in Raw. With flow and density at 100%, minimal feathering, and brush hardness 100%, notice a lot of "speckling" where the affect has not "taken"...i.e., with an exposure at -.5, several areas will only be partially darkened. Multiple passes will improve, but this is not consistent with behavior of previous versions. I do not know if this is restricted to exposure, as most other setting, clarity, sharpness, noise reduction etc. are less distinct in their impact. Hopefully, issue will resolve with release of full update.

Do you have Auto Mask turned on?

Adjustment brush in Raw 8.3 not working???

Upgraded Bridge and camera raw from the adobe creative cloud desktop. Also upgraded all CS6 apps. Upgrade went smoothly. Having problem in Camera Raw 8.3. The problem is with the adjustment brush. It is not working at all. I can add a new adjustment, when I make any adjustment there is no adjustment. Also I cannot see the mask, or cannot toggle mask on and off. Absolutely no adjustment with adjustment brush. Running windows 8.
Then I went and paid for the 9.99 subscription. Downloaded both ps cc, bridge cc and lightroom 5. Download fine, all apps working fine with both versions installed. Having same issue with the adjustment brush when using bridge cc to ACR camera raw 8.3.
First time user of lightroom, seems like the adjustment brush inside lightroom will make the adjustment. I can’t see where to toggle on and off the mask. I see the “mask:” at top of adjustment box but nothing next to it or unable to click anything. I will continue to understand how the mask works in lightroom. When I click automask again I dont see a mask??
Any suggestions. I may redownload the windows version of the camera raw 8.3 update and try again.
Hope I have explained this well enough?

In camera raw, I am no longer able to use the adjustment brush. This is a recent phenomenon.?

In camera raw, I am no longer able to use the adjustment brush. This is a recent phenomenon.

Well, it worked fine for me as well for the past couple of years. I had not had any problems using it for the past few years. I use a Mac OS X Yosemite. As far as I can tell nothing had changed. I had not added any new updates, and a week ago the adjustment brush in camera raw simply ceased working. Everything else in camera raw works. However, the adjustment brush is a critical tool. I have checked my permissions, and even repaired my permissions with no results. Of course I have also tried several restarts to no avail.

Camera Raw v8.7.1 Adjustment Brush Problem

I’m using Adobe Bridge and my problem is in Adobe Camera Raw 8.7 and 8.7.1 itself. The Adjustment Brush cursor clicked position and the actual area that will be painted is not in the same area. As you can see the picture shown below, the actual painted area is being offset about one cm away from the cursor clicked position. Only the Adjustment Brush is affected. What's more, the cursor is larger than usual and the color changes to black instead of white. Hope someone can help to give a solution or hopefully Adobe can fix the problem.

Another user has the same issue, I recommend submitting a bug report. Re: Is this a bug or a flaw in my install?
You might try rolling back to 8.6 an see if that helps: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.6

No Adjustment Brush Tool in Camera Raw 5.2

Hi, I'm new here. After watching a Gavin Hoey tutorial on HDR editing, I decided to give it a try. My pc came with PSE 7.0 pre-installed (it's version 7.0.1 and the camera raw is version 5.2.0.65) When I drag a RAW image into the edit window of PSE, it opens in a camera raw 5.2 window. On the Hoey tutorial, the window has an adjustment brush in the top toolbar, but on mine, there is no such tool. Is this normal, or can I download an update to fix this? I'm guessing PSE is a "diluted" version of PSand that's why the adjustment brush is missing.

The tutorial was undoubtedly using Camera Raw hosted by the full version of Photoshop.
Camera Raw in Photoshop Elements is emasculated by design, even though the Camera Raw plug-in is exactly the same one used by the full version of Photoshop. There's only a limited subset of the features and tabs offered by Camera Raw when hosted by Elements.
I don't remember at what stage the Adjustment Tool was added, so you should try updating Camera Raw at least to version 5.7, or higher if your version of Elements supports a higher version.
In my opinion, Photoshop Elements is overpriced by about $80.

Adjustment brush changes can't be undone in Camera Raw?

I worked on a RAW file in Camera Raw (Leica M9, DNG), changing various settings and correcting various areas with the Adjustment brush. When I come back to the file, I can re-modify all the settings, except in the Adjustment brush mode, where it only seems possible to create a new adjustment zone. "Add", "Erase" and "Clear All" are all greyed out. Does anyone know how I can undo the changes that I made a couple of weeks ago? It looks like they've been made permanent, but it's not supposed to be like that with RAW files.
Many thanks for your help.

Can you, from within Photoshop, choose File - Open As, then choose the TIFF file, and set the selector over on the right to Camera Raw?
I know that you'd really like to set up to open them automatically through Camera Raw, but this could serve as a workaround.

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.

Why don't changes made in camera raw with the adjustment brush carry into photoshop?

Why don't changes made in camera raw with the adjustment brush carry into photoshop?

Using the Open button in ACR to get to PS doesn’t create a PSD or a TIF, it just transfers the image in memory.
As has been asked, already, what are the precise steps of your workflow starting with your painting the adjustment brush strokes in ACR and seeing the image in PS without the strokes, and what exact versions of PS and ACR are you using?
Use Help / About Photoshop..., and Help / About Plug-ins... / Camera Raw...

In Camera raw setting of CS6, using the adjustment brush, the new, add or erase buttons do not work. Please advise.

In Camera raw setting of CS6, using the adjustment brush, the new, add or erase buttons do not work. Please advise.

What operating system are you using?
Which version of camera raw do you have in photoshop cs6?
After you select the Adjustment Brush, the New button should already be enabled.
Then after you draw on an area of the image, the Add button should be enabled, with the option to choose either of the other two buttons; New or Erase
Could you post a screenshot?
Maybe all the adjustment values are set to zero?
(at least one needs to have a value other than zero)

Lightroom Adjustment Brushes not showing in Photoshop Camera Raw

I hope someone can answer this for me please
I prefer to do my RAW editing in Lightroom (that's just the way I like to do it) but now I want to send the image off to photoshop to build a poster with the same image. So I open Photoshop and then choose Place Embedded from the File menu. The Adobe Camera Raw 8.6 Dialouge opens and I was expecting to see all my develop settings the same as well as the Adjustment Brushes but for some reason the brushes aren't showing???
Why is this and is there a way to fix it simply?
Many thanks
Alex

You could open the file in photoshop as a smart object from lightroom.
Or in lightroom you could go to Photo>Save Metadata to File, which i believe overwrites the original xmp file if you've already
opened it in photoshop camera raw or creates a new xmp file in the same folder as the camera raw file.
Either way, when you place embedded in photoshop the adjustment brush settings should be there.

Lightroom adjustment brush inconsistent with Camera Raw

I love Lightroom's adjustment brushes, but I find it annoying that I can't use them to take saturation all the way to monochrome, even with the saturation slider turned down all the way. Today, I noticed that in Camera Raw 5.4, the same thing is NOT true - you can remove color completely with an adjustment brush.
Surprised at this difference, I wondered what would happen when I loaded the ACR-adjusted file back into Lightroom. Lo and behold, Lightroom showed the result of the adjustment brush the same way as ACR, with all color removed. Excellent!
But what would happen if I changed that adjustment brush in Lightroom? Would it "forget" what I had done in ACR and revert to its normal behavior? No, it continued to behave just as it had in ACR. But in the same photo, a brush created in Lightroom did not behave the same way. So clearly, it was something to do with which program created the brush.
Then I took a look at my XMP file, and it became (somewhat) clear what's going on. This is one of the XMP attributes for the brush created in ACR:
<crs:MaskValue>1.000000</crs:MaskValue>
And here's the same attribute for the brush created in Lightroom:
<crs:MaskValue>0.375000</crs:MaskValue>
The obvious next question is, what happens if you change MaskValue from 0.375000 to 1.000000? Answer: The brush starts behaving like an ACR brush.
Now, this is kind of cool. I can get the behavior I want in Lightroom, by editing the XMP file by hand. On the other hand, editing XMP files isn't really my favorite thing. Is there some setting in Lightroom that can be used to achieve a MaskValue of 1.000000 for adjustment brushes? I couldn't find one, but hey, there are a lot of settings...

Ian, thank you! It was indeed Density that did the trick. I mistakenly thought Density had nothing to do with it, because you have to set it before you create a new brush stroke. (Each individual stroke of a particular adjustment brush can have a different Density value, along with the other Brush attributes like Size.) So I was changing it for my existing brush strokes, foolishly expecting it to work like the Effect sliders, and seeing no effect.
Jao, my flow was set to 100 all along, so I don't think that was my problem. It really seems to have been Density.

Adjustment brush in Camera Raw

My adjustment brush in ACR is not 'aligned' with my mouse.. When I select the adjustment brush the actual center of the brush doesn't lineup with the center of the circle graphic on the screen. The actual center is really at about the 4:00 position and a little outside the adjustment brush circle. This only occurs when editing RAW images. However, when I edit a JPG image the center of the brush lines up correctly. Any ideas?
Thanks

My understanding was that Elements shipped with Camera Raw 6.6 which included the Adjustment Brush

I have bought Elements 10 and updated the Camera Raw to 6.6 but the Adjustment Brush & Graduated Filter do not appear in the Toolbar of the Workspace.

Adobe Camera Raw differences between Photoshop and Photoshop Elements

How do you make the colour tone of the adjustment brush in camera raw white?

I am using Camera Raw (Version7.0.0.308) in CS6. The adjustment brush does not have a slider for the colour tone but jumps from blue to yellow with the +, - keys. How do I set it to white? Currently all my adjustment come out either with a yellow tone or a blue tone.

Hi,
I would update to camera raw 7.4 and install any other updates that show when using Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6.
Then check if you have the same issue.
