'Adjustment Brush' in CS5 Bridge

The adjustment brush in my CS5 Bridge is no longer working. Can some offer me a solution?

The adjustment brush in my CS5 Bridge is no longer working
This is a tool in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) and ACR is a plug in that works in both Photoshop and Bridge. If you choose to open a file by pointing at it in the Bridge content panel it opens in ACR using Photoshop.
If you choose to Open In Camera Raw it opens in ACR using Bridge.
So first test both options, but it is likely you will get a better answer in the dedicated Camera Raw forum.

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?

OH JEEZ!!! That was it! It did seem odd that everything worked except the adjustment brush. Thanks for the help.

I think it means "the sliders are all 0 so painting adjustments with this brush won't change anything." In other words, move one of the sliders to a non-zero position, for example Exposure from 0 to 1.0, and then see what happens. You can edit the brush and change it to do something other than Exposure +1.

CC Bridge slow-. adjustment brushes not showing size, adjustments when done blind are slow to react

I am running Imac 2.7 GHz    16 gb ram    600 gb hard drive available
adjustment brushes not showing size, adjustments when done blind are slow to react.

Bridge is far more than a file browser.   Bridge does what lightroom does.
When working with Raw files, there are tools,   **adjustment brushes** that allow you to dodge and burn raw files.
These brushes are size adjustable and now with CC, I can not see the size of the tool I am using.
So you might want to look at Bridge differently, as it is a very powerful tool.
Anyone else have a similar experience with CC version of Bridge?

Can I Move the Anchor Point for Adjustment Brush in ACR CS5

It's never been a problem before, but the anchor point for the Adjustment Brush in ACR is sitting exactly where I need to see what is happening. I can delete and start again, but if there is way to move or hide the anchor point while stil being able to adjust the setting, it would be handy to know for next time it happens.

Adjustment brush with exposure setting cancels noise reduction

Hello,
I just noticed the following problem:
1) Camera Raw 6.5; Bridge CS5 (4.0.5.11); Mac OS X 10.6.8; Mac Pro 3,1; Dual Quad-Core Xeon; 8GB RAM.
2) Start with a noisy raw file (mine is from a Canon 5D II).
3) Apply Noise Reduction (Luminance:30; Lum Detail:75; Lum Contrast:0; Color:25; Color Detail:50).
4) Go to Adjustment Brush and set a non-zero Exposure value.
5) Apply brush to image and notice the Noise Reduction effects disappear (noise returns).
6) Click Clear All button to clear Adjustment Brush and Noise Reduction works again.
This seems to only happen with Adjustment Brushes with a non-zero Exposure value (applying brightness or other settings don't seem to produce the problem).
Anyone else seeing this?
Thanks!

Richard (and others),
Yes, very good idea to check that. The problem does indeed get applied to the full sized, opened image as well as to the display previews. After working with this more, I now notice that I was wrong to say that the entire noise reduction is cancelled - rather it "changes", sometimes subtly, sometimes more dramatically depending on what the noise reduction settings are set to. Further, how dramatic the "changes" appear depend greatly on the preview zoom (the changes are more subtle at 100%, but it can look like the noise reduction is completely turned off at 50% and 66%).
Now I realize that the noise reduction does not ordinarily display at all preview sizes (especially smaller ones), but this is different. At preview sizes where it does normally get applied, applying an adjustment brush with any non-zero exposure value (even just +0.05) can have the appearance that the NR is completely turned off for the whole image. Simply nudging the exposure value back to zero brings all the noise reduction back.
Also, to be clearer and avoid confusion for others, the change in noise I'm seeing is not localized to just the brushed spot. Obviously if one increases exposure, you'd expect to potentially see more noise. Instead, what I'm seeing happens to the entire image, even if I simply paint a single small brush dot, say in a far corner. Having the image change globally in response to painting a small spot with the adjustment brush cannot be a correct result. Further, this does not happen with any of the other adjustment brush settings like brightness, contrast or saturation. There must be something unique about the exposure setting that perhaps introduces a new step into the processing pipeline, and this step is affecting the entire image.
In any case, the problem only seems to be an issue in somewhat extreme cases and is less noticeable at 100% (and the finally opened image). It's more just annoying when previews are generated for viewing in Bridge, for example.
I suppose one alternative might be to rob a bank and go buy one of those new 1D X's. Then maybe I wouldn't have to worry about noise anymore.
Thanks for the responses!

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

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.

Lightroom 4 Adjustment Brush/General compatibility with CS6 beta

Hi the LR4 adjustment brush colour selection is not accurate, is there a fix?
Compatibility between LR4 and CS6 beta does not give the same results as LR3.6 and CS5.5, it is chalk and cheese and to get even near the same result takes a lifetime!

Download the LR4 trial and you can dissect them yourself...

CS5 Bridge thumbs and previews do not color match ACR or Photoshop

In newly installed CS5 Bridge (part of Suite), thumbnails and previews are not reflecting the color adjustments in ACR or of the image in Photoshop itself. High Quality is still default as is writing cache to folders. I don't see the old cache files in the folders either. CS4 did not exhibit this issue for me. Upon opening a folder, or after purging cache, thumbs are initially displayed with saturated color, but only for a second or 2 until they are redrawn. Other applications that I have been working with for years and use the image previews are not displaying properly now that I have CS5. What's going on here? It appears that I am looking at only the imbedded previews!

Narrowing it
down...I am working with a MacBookPro, using 2 monitors,
There have been more issues with two monitors but I can't recall them
exactly at this moment.
A few things that come to my mind, first check the Camera Raw preferences
and double check if the option Apply Autotone Adjustment is NOT checked.
There have also been issues with Open GL and 2 monitors but that should
effect the images in PS and not Bridge I would believe. Also see what your
main monitor is in the OS monitor preferences and try what happens if you
change that order.

Adjustment brush in ACR slow

I'm finding the adjustment brush to be slow to take affect. There is a delay between making the brush stroke and seeing the adjustment occur. It starts out with a short delay, but increases with each stroke to the point where it takes 6-10 seconds after the brush stroke for the adjustment to show.
The delay occurs if Camera Raw is hosted by Bridge or by Photoshop. The delay is longer when Camera Raw is in full screen mode, but it is still quite slow when not in full screen mode. Photoshop Memory Usage was set at 65% then dropped to 50% with no change in the delay. Virus protection software was disabled.
My system is a Dell Dimension 8300 Pentium 4, 2.80GHz with 2GB of RAM running Windows XP with Service Pack 3. The video card is a NVIDA GeForce FX 5200 with 128 MB memory. Old gear for sure, but I'm wondering if there is anything I can do to improve the performance of the adjustment brush short of buying a new computer. Would upgrading the video card improve performance?

Hello
As far as I can see, both the video and audio editing world are already using non destructive editing and the files can be huge for video, so Photoshop will evolve in that direction also.
The operations in ACR are just mask overlays, which are not really that complex, even though the xmp are large, but in the most complex one I have been using, it is only 157kb.It is a vector layer, whose mathematical description is held in the xmp.
A comparable 8 bit mask as a channel in Photoshop would be 12mb in a 36mb uncompressed image.
It is also the reason why CS4 has so many types of adjustment layers and filter layers. That is exactly what a mask in ACR is acting as,in other words a local adjustment layer.
Many years ago there was a very good application called Picture Publisher, that recorded all pixel and layer operations as an editable text file, on a low res copy of the main image. The final compilation was rendered using the same text file on the full size image. The main problem with that the application was not accurate enough.It had a rounding error, so in certain circumstances 1000 pixels turned into 999 pixels. This as you could imagine would make some truly amazing final images, but not quite what was intended.
I am sure that ACR will evolve and have quite extensive masking operations. There is a requirement to be able run a slide show in Bridge, with all images corrected this way and without having to use Photoshop proper, one image at a time.
Adobe might also finally conclude that Lightroom will be redundant
I can wait!
