Adjustment Brush is painting bright red when it is set with saturation at -100

Anyone have any idea why it is not removing the color like I am asking to program to do?

So it turns out that the exposure was also turne down to -4 and I missed this.  Sometimes the answer is right in front of your face but I had
double clicked effect numerous times but somehow this was part of the problem.
I think inially I had the Brush overlay on (which I never use) and then after about an hour of fiddling around I posted the question.
You hit the nail on the head with the Overlay but then when I must have reacctivated the adjustment brush I must have some home
turned the exposure down to -4 and thus when I turned off the overly it was coming up as black.
thank you for all of your help.  I have used LR since 2005 and this really rattled my cage.
Cheers

  • How do I get the adjustment brush to "paint" white?

    How do I get the adjustment brush to "paint" white? I have tried the  color panel, but nothing works.

    Make sure 'Auto Mask' is unchecked, Flow & Density = 100, and desired Feathering is set before painting. Set the Adjustment Brush to Exposure = +4. If you have LR5 right-click on the Adjustment Brush pin you just created and select Duplicate. If you have LR4 or earlier you'll probably need to manually paint the area twice with Exposure = +4.

  • 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?

  • Adjustment brush sliders missing in LR4 when trying to manipulate masks originally created in LR3

    I am trying to re-edit some of my birding photos (CR2 raw images).  I have difficult masks that were created in LR3 and took alot of time due to feathers on a complicated background.  I do not want to have to re-mask everything in LR4.  When I have imported my files to LR4 the original LR3 mask is still present.  However, the sliders for Temp, Tint, Hightlights, Shadows, Saturation, Noise, Moire and Defringe are missing.  I want to do localized noise control to keep feather sharpness so I need the Noise slider.
    Am I missing something?  If I work on a photo that had no LR3 mask all sliders are available.  If a mask from LR3 exists I am missing sliders.
    See image below for a screenshot of the differences between the 2 panels.

    Images processed in Lightroom 3 will still display process 2010 settings.  If you go to the calibration section of the right hand panel, you can switch to the new process version.  But it will probably make changes to your images.  So try it on one and see if the changes are acceptable.  I only change the images that I worked on in Lightroom 3 on an individual basis when I decide I want to try to improve them.

  • Possible bug when rendered attribute set with EL

    I have the following outer panelform:
    <af:panelForm rendered="#{RoleSearch.roleSelected == RoleSearch.SUPERVISOR}">
    within this panelform i have a table and a selectone commandbutton,
    <af:commandButton text="Edit"
    action="#{RoleSearch.editDetails}">
    <af:setActionListener from="#{row.Userid}"
    to="#{processScope.userIdSelected}"/>
    </af:commandButton>
    don't worry about the parameter my action listener is settting.
    the problem is, when the commandbutton is encapsulated with an outer rendered component, it does not function, it does not trigger the action. if i manually set the rendered attribute to "true" things work fine.
    The components are displayed correctly, i.e. rendered correctly depending on my holder, however the commandbutton won't fire off the action when it is used like this.
    has anyone faced this problem before? is this a known issue?
    any help is much appreciated, i have had to write a few workarounds to resolve similar issues i have run into when developing with ADF BCs.
    thanks.

    Hi,
    i can't see any obvious problems with what you are doing especially considering that it works ok if you manually set the rendered attribute of the panelForm to true.
    Have you tried setting the rendered attribute at the command button level and leaving the panelForm rendered?

  • 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!

  • New to the Adjustment Brush Tool...HELP!

    Hello!  I am fairly new to Lightroom, and the Adjustment Brush tool specifically, and I am having some problems with it!  I have watched tons of tutorials on using it, and it seems relatively easy...although when I go into my program and attempt to use it, nothing happens to my photo...say if I wanted to adjust the exposure on the face of an individual, I will go in and select the tool, decrease the exposure, make the brush and feather the size I want it, and when I go to "paint" the area I want altered, nothing happens?  The pins appear as if to show me that's where I started, but then no change happens to the area I attempted to paint.  Do I need to select something somewhere to be able to actually use the brush to paint?  Any help is appreciated!!  Thank you!!   

    First, verify that you have painted something. At the bottom is an option that says "Show Selected Mask Overlay", enable this. It will show the area you have painted so far.
    If you see pink appear, this is where you have painted so far. Try changing your adjustments more drastically (i.e. move sliders all the way one direction or another). If you see the effect appear, dial things back until you have what you want.
    If you do not see pink appear, make sure your Flow and Density sliders are up. This act like opacity, so if they are too low, you aren't laying down much "paint" with your brush.

  • Bug in adjustment brush undo

    Select Adjustment Brush tool
    paint a mask
    switch to "Brush: Erase"
    paint away some mask
    ctrl-z (undo)
    tool switches back to "Brush: A" when it should stay on Erase

    OS Windows 7 64 bit 8GB
    Indeed the same over here.
    CTRL-Z does undo the last brush stroke but returns to normal brush and desactivates the pin.
    Even without changing of the brush,when CTRL-Z of last brush stroke, the pin is desactivated.

  • The adjustment brush is not working

    When I select the adjustment brush and paint across the image no changes are made. I have tried moving the sliders to the extremities but no effects to the image are made. It is very frustrating

    I have tried moving the sliders to the extremities but no effects to the image are made.
    Check to be sure Density and/or Flow are not set to 0.
    when I click to create a new pin the small circle or pin is not there as expected
    Press H (Hide) key to toggle pin on and off.

  • Adjustment brush always showing pink mask instead of adjustment

    When I first installed LR2 the adjustment brush worked great. Now when I use it, it always shows the pink mask and not the adjustment. If I press enter the adjustment is made but I can't change or adjust it. Is there a settings reset or do I have something setup wrong? I have tried reinstalling LR2 using repair and it didn't help. Any help and advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Allen

    O is the keyboard shortcut for toggling the overlay on/off. If you press the Shift key at the same time you can cycle through alternatives (red, green, white, black).

  • Has anyone experienced a problem with the adjustment brush since last update (for Mac) last week?

    Following an update to Lightroom on my Mac Pro work station last Friday: when I apply my adjustment brush to an area in an image, a faint box encompassing a much larger area than the size of my brush appears (extends well beyond the area I've identified with my brush and is clearly a large square shape). When I release my mouse, the adjustment I've made affects my entire image. I had no issues with adjustment brush prior to the update. I've been on the phone with Adobe support (no help). Have uninstalled/reinstalled Lightroom several times (no help). Adobe directed me to Apple (recommend use of Time Machine to date before Lightroom update came through). To ensure it's an isolated bug, I checked my MacBook Pro. Worked fine without update; I let update come through and find the adjustment brush "bug" is intermittent. When it occurs, however, I always see the larger "box" area, and the adjustment brush ultimately affects my entire image.
    Anyone else experiencing this? Adobe support insists it's a Mac issue. Thanks!

    Same problem (rectangular areas) + others under Windows. The adjustment brush and the clone / heal tool have been totally broken in LR 3.2. You're not alone. See this thread. I have filed a bug report. No answer until now.

  • 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.
    More information would be needed about your system before troubleshooting steps can be suggested.

  • Problem with Adjustment Brush enhancing parts of picture it shouldn't

    Working on some pictures I encountered the following problem today. I did my major adjustments to the picture (e.g. Exposure -0,95) and then wanted to add some minor touches with the Adjustment Brush. As soon as I placed one click with the brush tool anywhere in the picture the highlights of the whole picture becamer over exposed.
    This first screenshot shows the picture after the first adjustments:
    Now you can see that I added an Adjustment Brush (Size:11, Feather: 25, Flow: 50, Density: 100) far away from the face and still the highlights in face are blown out. Nothing else has been changed:
    Does anyone have an idea what the problem is and how to avoid ACR doing this? It does not make a difference if the adjustment brush is set to a plus or minus value.
    Thanks in advance
    Oliver
    (Win 7 x64 Ultimate, Photoshop CS5 12.0.4, ACR 6.5.0.216)

    Thank you for the replies, Tai Lao.
    1. The behaviour is occuring no matter if viewed in 100%, 24% or any other magnification.
    2. No, I haven't tried ACR 6.6. Judging from this thread the problem seems to exist for quite a few versions now.
    3. The brush stroke seen on the screenshot was a "new" one. It was the first brush action done to the picture.
    I tried reducing the size of the adjustment brush to 2 and place this tiny brush stroke in the outmost corner of the picture. Still the highlights went up. Opening the picture as a Smart Object before using the brush everything is fine in PS. Reopening the Smart Object in ACR and using the size 2 brush far away from the higlights causes the same unwanted beheaviour.
    At first I thought it had something to do with having done some adjustment to the exposure before but testing showed that this phenomena happens even when nothing was done the picture prior to using the adjustment brush.
