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?

LR4 adjustment brush undo bug

Think I have found a bug in the LR4 beta, it's reproducible by me anyway.
Paint an adjustment of any type onto an image using the adjustment brush.
Now select the erase brush and erase part of the adjustment you have just made.
Click undo.
The undo is made, but the erase brush also changes back to the add brush (Brush B in my case)
I have found myself finely erasing adjustments, and then accidentally adding them again after clicking an undo.
Can alone else confirm?
LR4 beta, Windows 7 64bit.

The place you should be posting to is the Lightroom 4 Beta Forum...

LR3: Adjustment brush 'edit' option unavailable

I just downloaded a trial of Lightroom 3. Im trying to edit photos in RAW and for some reason under the adjustment brush and graduated filter the 'edit' option is unavailable. Do i need to transfer files to JPEG? Help?!?!!

Before an adjustment is made with the graduated filter or adjustment brush in only option is "new", edit is greyed out. After you have made an adjustment you then have the choice when it is reopened to make a new adjustment( A second one) or edit any previous ones, the edit button will now be active since an adjustment exists already. If you want to edit the previous adjustment choose edit and click the gray pin for that adjustment on your image. To make sure pins are visible make sure the toolbar below the image is showing (Keyboard shortcut T) and that "Show edit pins" in the lower right of the toolbar is set to any choice but "never" or pins from previous adjustments won't be visible. I leave it set to always, then as long as the adjustment tool is open the pins will show .

Adjustment brush bugged? Image areas not brushed over change nevertheless

Problem:
I used the adjustment brush to brighten up an area in an image (+0.2 exposure). Doing so, a nearby but not connected area and not touched by the brush brightened up as well, going from almost blown out to blown out as shown by the red warning overlay.
System:
Pentium i5 machine, Windows 7 home premium 64 bit, 8 GB RAM
Lightroom 3.3 64 bit
Here are some illustrations:
before applying the brush (note the blue are near the upper edge not yet blown out)
I am applying the brush here (note area marked in red, not touching the blue almost blown out part near the top edge):
And this is what happens to the blue area when applying the brush:
The funny thing is, when I hover the cursor over the brush pin (as in the second picture above), the blue area to the top left is NOT marked blown out (as can be seen in the second picture).
Something strange is going on here. Either the red 'blown out' overlay is not functioning correctly in this situation, or the adjustment brush is bugged. It should obviously not have any effect on areas that have not been brushed over.
Any thoughts?

Thanks Lee Jay for the quick reply. I did search before posting but apparently have not used the right terms.
It seems this is known for quite a while. Has Adobe made any statement on a workaround or that this is being fixed?
I understand this is something occurring in unusual circumstances only but still, it's a bug....
I think the problem is that they cannot reproduce the issue, hence no fix yet.

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.

Problems with Adjustment Brush - LR 2.3, Macintosh

I've had numerous discussions with folks at Adobe's Tech Support and they have no idea what is going on with my problem in LR 2.3 on a Mac (10.5.6, 2 X 3 GHz dual Intel, 5 GB ram, startup drive has catalog, images stored on internal drive) so I thought I'd post the problem here just so it was brought to the attention of other folks at Adobe as well as the general user population.
I preform basic parametric edits (Exposure through Detail) on my images and then apply a number of adjustment brush edits to the images, mainly exposure, clarify, sharpen. All of these edits are done over perhaps 25% of the image at the very most, usually a lot less, say 10% of the image.
I then leave LR's Develop module and in the Library, I have used the "Update DNG Preview and Metadata" menu command for any photos that have the downward pointing arrow appearing in the top right corner. I'm not sure why this is necessary or why this indicator is showing since I have never exported these photos for external editing and I have the Metadata preference set in Catalog preferences to "Automatically write changes into XMP." I did have this setting off for some time and after reading Martin Evening's discussion of the pros and cons of using this feature decided to have it checked on.
When I return to my Adjustment Brush edited photos, the AB edits are splattered all over the image, not in any way like the edits I applied when I did the initial edits. I can see the edits quite clearly using the red overlay. Also, the AB control buttons are sometimes in different locations than where I had originally placed them. When this problem first occurred (LR 2.3 RC) it would take minutes to move from image to image in the Develop module. Lots of the Mac spinning beach ball! This is better in LR 2.3 though there is still a slow down after the AB has been applied.
I have exported and moved my catalog of photos to a new computer and the problem persists. I have removed the history to before the AB edits were applied and reapplied the edits and the problem comes back (I think as long as I use the Update DNG Preview and Metadata menu item?!?). I have checked the catalog for integrity as well as optimized the catalog. I have tried applying AB settings to other photos and I have yet to duplicate the problem though I am still testing this.
I showed the problem to Jeff Schewe at the Epson Print Academy in Los Angeles in February and he had no idea what was going on. This was before the release of 2.3. The problem first showed itself while I was using LR 2.3 RC and was also in LR 2.2. It now shows up in LR 2.3. I am being SUPER judicious about using the AB in it's current state and will have to go into Photoshop to do some of the things I wanted to do in Lightroom. I did send a copy of two of the images to Adobe tech support but I never heard anything about what happened with those examples.
Does anyone have any idea what may be going on? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated and I would be glad to clarify any parts of this post that are unclear or to try out any testing that might clear this up. This is happening to about 25 photos in my catalog.

The problem I was having with Lightroom 2.3 and the Adjustment Brush has resurfaced.
Since I had a large part of my hardware replaced as I indicated in my previous posts here I'm sure that the problem is not hardware related.
When the problem resurfaced I noticed that one of my external hard drives that is my Time Machine backup was running (accessing the disk). I cannot be sure but the image corruption may be related to Time Machine (Mac OS X 10.5.6) running while I have LR 2.3 running. This is just a complete guess. I have disabled Time Machine and only run it manually now when LR is not open. I have reopened my past tech support cases and we'll see if Adobe has anything to say about this. What a pain!
BTW, I too have been getting slower and slower performance after I apply the AB to an image. Here's is a sample of one of my corrupted images showing the "splattered" adjustment brush edits that I didn't do but LR decided were "artful." The "splattered" edits appear in many images and appear to have no reason, thus the "splattered" term - somewhat like Jackson Pollack.

Bug ACR 7.2 adjustment brush previews

I realize this is a redundant post - I want to make sure someone at Adobe notices. Adjustment brush previews are turning off when you hover the cursor over the edit pin, and stay off until off until you hover cursor over another pin. Neil Carboni took the time to make screen shots that show the problem. See previous post and my Windows 7 x64 specs at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1083526?tstart=0
The Adjustment brush previews work as expected so long the Show Mask option is checked AND one of the of the Adjustment Brush pins is selected; so one mask is always showing.
For example, when a previously edited image is first re-opened in ACR, no brush pins are selected (Show Mask can be checked). If I hover my cursor over one of the pins (for example I have 6 brush adjustments) the mask flashes on for the associated edit, as expected. When I move the cursor away, the edit preview disappears as if the edit never happened, but the pin remains. I then select one of the pins by clicking on it to make that edit live. Now when I move my cursor over a pin the mask for that pin flashes on, when I move the cursor away from that pin the preview of the edit is showing. Now the preview works for any brush edit.
Makes working with multiple adjustment brushes extremely difficult - not always sure if the results of a previous edit are showing. Have to constantly move my cursor and hover it over another brush pin to verify that I am seeing results of previous edit. If the preview is not showing, as soon as I put down the brush on that edit, the preview springs to life. I do not see this problem using ACR 7.1 on my Vista x64 machine.
As my previous post indicates, I have updated the driver on my FirePro V4900, uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop, etc. Did not see the problem after I reinstalled Photoshop and briefly used ACR 7. Problem came back once I updated.

Well, for one, the current version of ACR is 8.3 by now.

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.

2.1 RC - Adjustment Brush Bug Persists

While the adjustment brush seem a bit more responsive under 2.1, I regret to report that the brush continues to apply adjustments even after I have released the left mouse button. This usually happens when I'm trying to refine the edge created by my initial selection. I've submitted a bug report to this effect.
As stated in my earlier posts, I'm running LR2.1 on a Vista Home Premium system with adequate processing power for PS CS3, 4 gigs of RAM, and plenty of HD space.

I read the release notes. They specifically said they fixed a couple of problems in the local correction area and went on to say:
>"We are still working on additional methods to improve the performance of the new Localized Correction features."
which indicates to me that they attempted to address some issues but as they did not say what issues were addressed or to what degree wouldn't it be prudent for us to keep reporting all problems that we have with LR2.1RC?
The specific issue reported in this thread may or may not have anything to do with 'performance' but it certainly has to do with the mouse--the mouse up is apparently not acknowledged until about the time the history list is updated so any brush movements between mouse up and the history updating are counted as edits. That is a definite bug and to quote Jeff in another thread about a different bug:
>Jeff Schewe:"...again you have to understand that MORE bug reports is more better...the more people wh report this as a problem the higher priority it will get. So, vote early, vote often..."
and since the LR2.1RC web site also said:
>"If you do experience an issue with this release candidate please report it to the Lightroom User to User forum."
where the phrase "User to User forum" is a link to this forum I would think the 'voting' should be done on this forum.

Unable to add further Edits using Adjustment Brush in Lightroom 5.

Using Lightroom 5 - when I go back to a previously edited image to do further editing, using the Adjustment Brush, I open the effect that I want to use ( Dodge, for example) but all the sliders are inoperative. The word 'Dodge (Edited)' appears in the Effects header. Therefore I can't make any further changes to the image. I have opened the drop down Effects menu and ticked 'Restore default presets' but to no avail. Any solutions welcome.

Thank you for that trshaner. The density was set at 100 but flow only 86. I've shoved that up to 100 now and I think we may have a result!
Thanks again.

Adjustment brush not selective editing

Hi I am new to Lightroom. I was playing with the adjustment brush and have done something that has stopped it from doing selective edits. When i adjust exposure it adjusts the whole image and not my brush strokes, very frustrated trying to find what I have done to upset it. can anyone tell me what I may have done wrong and how can I rectify it.
Many thanks
Mark

You may have inadvertently closed the brush by clicking on its icon on the control panel. If the brush is active, you should see the round button on your image where you first applied the brush.
If this is the case, just click on the Adjustment Brush icon again, and then on the round button on your image to select the previous brush, if there is one, or just create a new one by brushing on the image.
Also, make sure you did not accidentally click on Invert Mask - this would make all adjustments affect the areas that you did not brush.
You can see the area that will be affected by the brush settings if you press the letter O on your keyboard while the brush is active. It will turn the selected areas red.

Adjustment brush bug

Hello - so far my adjustment brush is having issues engaging. I select the brush, the drop down menu appears, I make my adjustment and nothing registers. I open, close, open, close and open again and sometime it works and sometimes it doesn't.
Suggestions?

Checked and no. It's not registering when I click on the screen. I use this program everyday and this is definitely a bug.
