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

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.

The"Auto Mask" option of Adjustment Brush in Camera Raw

In Camera Raw, I saw the "Auto Mask" option at the bottam of all the slides of Adjustment Brush, what is this option for?
When you halt your mouse in this option, it prompts that it is for adjusting the sensitivity of brush's edge, but I don't understand what does it mean exactly.

Is there a way to control the halos around the edges?
No.

Might as well go into Photoshop and spend 30 minutes doing my own mask if the excessive haloing can't be improved.
Many of us were hoping Adobe would invest in improving the auto-masking technology for Lr4, but didn't happen. Fingers crossed for Lr5...
As is, it's only marginally useful...

Adjustment Brush in Camera RAW has no effect

I'm using Photoshop CS4 on my MacPro and the adjustment brush in ACR has no effect. I deleted the preferences file with no result. I have a copy of PS CS5 beta and the adjustment brush works quite well. I'm not using the beta on production jobs until it's released. Suggestions, please. Thank you.

Can you help with the moire adjustment tool in Camera Raw?

I have a file with a lot of moire on a child's dress and am having problems using camera raw moire adjustment tool.
I opened a jpeg file (not raw) in camera raw. When I use the moire adjustment brush - set to +100 - and click on the eyeglass tool in the window to see the effect - it shows a white overlay.
Clicking the preview button doesn't show up any difference.
I have saved several files as tests but the moire remains unaltered.
Any help appreciated. Or alternatively, suggestions on how to deal with Moire in Photoshop.
Thank you.

If possible deal with the moire issues up front. If you have original re-scan to see if you can reduce effect. If not do a web search for this. There are several tutorials listed such as http://photographylife.com/how-to-remove-moire-in-photoshop
Hope this helps.

Adjustment tools in Camera Raw not working

Downloaded CS 5 and opened Camera Raw, then attempted to use the adjustment tool and received the following message "Unable to create local adjustment. All the local adjustment controls are set to have no effect on the image." Can anyone provide assistance please and thanks?

I had the same problem and tried turning of GPU in Photoshop and in Lightroom which did not work, however in the RAW window when I found the preferences tab which is the tab with the 3 horizontal lines and unchecked GPU there Camera Raw did start working and the blue screen was replaced by my image. Hope this clarifies it more and you get yours to wok also!

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).

Import adjusted photos from camera raw into Lr5

I like using Bridge to import my photos but also like to use LR5. After I organize and edit in camera raw I want to import (ADD) the adjusted photos into LR5. Problem is the adjustments dont import into LR. The original raw DNG is imported without the fixing that I did. Please help.

In the Camera Raw preferences, make sure you have Save image settings in: set to Sidecar ".xmp" files set. If you don't, then the settings are only saved in the Camera Raw database which Lightroom can't read.

Bridge CS6 bad preview after adjustment in Adobe Camera Raw 7.0

Hi,
when i update camera raw from 6.5 to 6.6 the preview can`t give me right preview only after 1 or more adjustments in adobe camera raw (yes, "Always High Quality"and "Generate Preview-Size Previews").
Image apears and stays like when we open it in camera raw in the first few seconds with the yellow exclamation mark.
Months ago the only solution i found after several reinstals of phoshop, was to turn back to camera raw 6.5.
Now im trying beta bridge cs6 and problem come back for me again.
I use Nikon D3x with 14 bits ~49MB .nef files with Windows 7 64 bits .
Is any one have same problem?And why only in 6.6 (and new camera raw 7.0) and not in 6.5?
Thanks

When I saved a image to my desktop and wanted to open in Preview so I could do some altra fast tweeks like add sepia and then resaved it came up that I didn't have aothourization to save changes. I then as suggested went to finder - get info - and unlocked the file and entered the desktop password when prompted and closed but it still won't save the changes. I don't want to change it to open as a PS file because it is a JPEG and takes allot of effort when preview cnages under tools color is so efficient. Other suggestions to try?

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.

Adjustment brush not working in camera raw cs6

The adjustment brush in Camera Raw PS6 is not working properly. The slider makes a slight change but I can do no local adjustments. All other parts of Camera Raw seems to be working. I have restored the computer. Is there a toggle I do not know about?

A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,

Strange object formed when saving camera-RAW file as TIFF

Perhaps someone has a clue as to what the strange circular object seen on the picture below might be (on the upper-left area of the photo), because I have no idea.
My best, yet uninformed, guess is that this is an electronic random generation of single-value white and gray pixels within my Photoshop CS3 program.
This is how the "circular object" came into existence:
- With a Canon 5D camera on tripod I shot this night view of San Francisco's Union Square Macy's store. Camera data: 5" @ f/8, ISO 50, 23mm focal length, EF17-40mm f/4L USM lens, 2010-Nov-12, 6:37pm, Max. RAW size setting.
- Later on with Photoshop CS3 I saved the camera-RAW file as a TIFF; straightened converging vertical lines with Perspective, and selected the entire black-sky area over Macy's roof; within that selection only, applied a 12x exposure increase to obtain hidden data from shadows; that's when the black, gray, cyan and blue pixels right over the roof appeared... as well as the circular object in question.
- Later attempts to recreate the circular object--following the exact same steps of the first RAW-to-TIFF conversion--render the same black, gray, cyan and blue pixels over Macy's roof, but NOT the circular object. The circular object formed only ONCE, during the very first RAW-to-TIFF conversion. Obviously, all further JPG copies of the original TIFF file do carry the circular object.
- Have you had similar "mysterious" Photoshop "creations" in your images? Do you have any theories as to what in the world this circular object is? If so, please write me at [email protected]
Thank you,
Juan

What comes to mind is the Adjustment Brush in Camera Raw. I just fooled with a dark image and was able to make it show something similar to what you're seeing by clicking the adjustment brush in a dark part. When I opened the image the circular area was essentially invisible, but it became quite visible upon pushing the Exposure up. In this case I could not push it up to 12x as you did; only about 5x.

I don't see all option in Photoshop Elements and Camera Raw

e.g. Auto-Align Layers in Image menu or Adjustment brush in Camera Raw. Please tell me what I need to do.

That's because Elements is a reduced version of Photoshop.
You have two questions:
Auto align layers. My suggestion: google 'Photoshop Elements auto align layers' and you have a lot of answers and suggestions.
The ACR module does not have all the features of the full version in Photoshop, but the important and meaningful ones are there. For the rest, you have to open your image in the editor where you have corresponding features. The editor has much more powerful tools than the adjustment brush for critical editing.

LR 3.2 - Local adjustment brush and heal/clone tool broken

Hi,
After installing LR 3.2, the first thing I noticed is that it is much slower than the previous version (using XP Pro + 3GB memory and a speedy processor).
But the most terrible novelty of this version is that the Adjustment Brush is going berserk after a while:
It first slows down to a crawl, so slow that it's almost impossible to work with.
While working with it after a while, it starts to show random rectangular areas that are copies of other areas of the image that have nothing to do with the area I'm working on. This happens after a brush stroke. The Undo command makes these rectangular "patches" disappear.
From time to time, the whole image is flipped upside down (You can't believe it? Neither could I).
Eventually, afte a brush stroke, the sandclock mouse cursor is displayed and the program freezes (at this time it can be using over 1 GB of memory although I'm working on a single, standard EOS 5D image). The only way to stop this madness is to kill the process.
The Heal/Clone tool also shows a similar misbehavior.
I didn't have these problems with the previous version.

Ian,

Are you looking for help? If so then it would really useful if you provided some information on hardware, OS and what exactly are you doing when the system freezes. Also worth noting that applications very rarely (even badly coded apps) cause the hardware to crash. System crashes are more often than not due to bad device drivers or bad hardware that an application may expose.
I'm a software professional since PCs exist. I have enough experience to identify software problems when they appear. At least, I'm able to determine whether I have a hardware problem or if the software I'm using (or writing) is buggy. I have read many reports, many threads, many advice about these performance issues. I'm pretty sure that the problem is LR. I repeat: I do not have any performance issue when editing images in Bibble 5, Photoshop or DxO Optics Pro. BB5 is at least an order of magnitude faster than LR when editing images.When I use the Adjustment Brush in Camera Raw, there's absolutely no problem. My hardware is powerful enough and my installation is pretty clean (could it be powerful enough in Camera Raw and not in LR?). My OS is very stable. I have not seen a BSOD since years and all my applications are running flawlessly on this system (which includes image editing applications, software development tools, and many others...).
Users having various and very powerful systems (PC or Mac) are reporting the very same problems. Like Bruce, I'm convinced that this is not a hardware resource problem. We didn't have these problems with LR2 and LR3 was supposed to enhance performances. Version after version, it has now become unusable for me.
Drawing the conclusion that since many users don't have any performance issues, the problem must be on the user's side would be erroneous. The bug is in LR and may or may not appear depending on the circumstances. Any developer knows that a bug may or may not hit a given user depending on how she uses the software. I admit that these bugs are hard to fix. But LR has to be fixed, no doubt.
I profoundly regret that Adobe do not acknowledge this.
