Adjustment Brush Lightroom 3

HI,
I was retouching in b/w using Lightroom 3 and I think I messed up the adjustment brush. Now the brush strokes are red instead of grey. Please, someone let me know what should I do to set the brush back to monochrome again.
I've posted in photonet but helpful people there do not have the answer to the solution. Pls read the response belows.

Many Thanks!

Hi all,
I've got the answer in another forum. It's to uncheck "show selected mask overlay". Now I can get back to work. Many thanks. Really appreciate it.

    ive tried quitting and relaunching and restarting the computer.  i have done the recent update and am wondering if it is since then. i use a Mac. any advice on what to try??

    hi,
    there is actually no error message or anything to show you. i can still brush the tool over etc...it just doesn't apply anything ie; skin softening or iris enhance.  It even still gives me the pin spot for where ive used it. I can move all the sliders etc...just no changes to the image

  • Adjustment brush causes Lightroom to quit

    I have Lightroom 4 and just updated it to the most recent version last night.  I run it on a Mac OSX. Everytime I try to use the adjustment brush, Lightroom unexpectedly quits.  I never experienced this problem until today.  How do I resolve the issue?  And could it be related to updating Lightroom? Thanks!

    Wonderful and thanks for reporting your success!! Happy Easter processing!!

  • Wacom Tablet Pen Pressure stops working in Photoshop after using Lightroom Local Adjustment Brush

    Hi all,
    I am experiencing a problem with my Intuos Pro Medium (driver 6.3.9w3 on Windows 8.1)
    I am using Lighroom 5.6 and Photoshop CC 2014.
    I an get the pen pressure to work in Photoshop without any problem. However, if I go into Lightroom and use the Local Adjustment Brush and then transfer the photo into Photoshop (Right Click Edit In => Edit in Adobe Photoshop 2014 CC) then the pen pressure stops working in Photoshop.
    Really frustrating... The only workaround is to close both Photoshop and Lightroom, then reopen Photoshop, then usually the Pen pressure feature starts working again.
    Has anyone experienced this before or has any idea how to fix this?
    Thanks,
    Guillaume

    Your tablet driver isn't reporting pressure correctly.
    The knockoff tablet drivers usually need to be revised for each new version of Photoshop (and we have no idea why).
    Contact your tablet maker to see if they have updated drivers to fix their bugs.

  • HELP! Lightroom Crashes Only with Adjustment Brush and only when using HDMI output!

    This is very frustrating. I use my Acer N56V laptop to teach Lightroom workshops. I use a 32 inch television as a display. When I have my laptop attached with an HDMI cable and try to use Lightroom's adjustment brush, it crashes. Either the screen and computer just shuts down or I get the Blue Screen of Death. I can do anything else! I can edit in Photoshop, do anything else in Lightroom or even Silver EFX Pro. I can even click on the adjustment brush. But the minute the brush hits the photo (and not before), the computer crashes. If I don't have it attached to the HDMI or if I use a Serial cable, no issues. It's only the adjustment brush and only the HDMI output.
    I called Adobe and they said it was because my onboard video card was primary and not the Nvidia. I called Acer and they said it's auto detect. I also tried making the Nvidia card primary and it still happened. Any ideas???

    You have switched the overlay mask to always show. Fortunately, it's easy fixed i.e. tap the O key. Shift+O will cycle the overlay through various colours
    Other Adjustment Brush and Graduate Filter shortcuts and modifiers are listed them below:
    Open Adjustment Brush - K
    Open Gradient Tool - M
    Show/hide Pin - H
    Always Show - Shift + Cmd/Ctrl+H
    Show Selected/Never Show - Shift+H
    To increase Amount - Right Arrow
    To decrease Amount - Left Arrow
    To increase/decrease brush size -  ] / [
    To increase/decrease feather - Shift+] / Shift+[
    Set Flow Amount - Number Keys
    To commit  and/or start new a brush stroke or gradient - Enter / Return
    To delete the selected pin - Delete
    Holding down - Alt/Option key activates erase mode
    Toggle Auto Mask On/Off - A
    Pressing O toggles on/off the overlay
    Shift+O cylces through alternative colours for overlay
    To constrain gradient to vertical/horizontal  - hold down Shift plus drag
    To invert the gradient - '
    To scale from center - Alt/Option plus drag

  • Lightroom 5 What is the Color box for in the adjustment brush and filters

    Hi
    I am running Lightroom 5.6 although I think this has been around probably from 4.In the Basic Development module when I select the Adjustment brush, Radial filter or Graduated filter then below Defringe I get a box marked Color. What does this box do.

    Thanks for the quick reply. This is what I expected but it does not do it very well. For example If I have a light blue background and select 100% Blue in the Color box I would expect it to increase the blue but it does not really do this.

  • Trying to turn the background black and white in lightroom 5. Using the adjustment brush. It isn't working.

    Set Flow and Density of the brush to 100
    Reduce it where you want the effect to blend.

  • 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.

  • Lightroom 5.5 for Mac Adjustment Brush not working

    Hi all, since updating to Lightroom 5.5 for Mac Adjustment Brush has stopped working entirely. I can open the menu and it does display the brush within the menu. When dragging the tool into the image it changes to the mouse arrow which doesn't have any function. Any ideas? Thank you very much for your help. Chris

    And- do you actually press or hold down the left-mouse button and drag the cursor on the image? as you would a paint brush. A 'Pin' will appear where you start the brush stroke.
    And- Is it possible that you have the switch at the base of the brush panel sliders turned off ?   (The toggle switch on the same line as "Reset" and "Close")
    Pressing "O" only turns the overlay mask on/off to give a visual indication 'Where' you have applied the brush.
    Pressing "SHIFT+O" changes the colour of the MASK overlay- Red, Green, Grey, Clear
    "O" does not affect any editing of the image.

  • Adjustment Brush in Lightroom 5 has a different sized effect smaller than the brush size

    Hi,
    When using Lightroom 5 Adjustment brush, the effect is only in the inner half of the brush size circle. In other words, if you select a 1 inch brush to darken, only about the center 1/2 inch is being darkened. I'm 100 percent sure the brush has no feathering, and all the settings are fine. An expert told me to try to get rid of preferences, and try it, and it still does the same thing. Now, I just updated to LR 5.7 hoping maybe it will fix it, to no avail. The LR on my laptop behaves perfectly fine.
    Attached is a screen shot and a phone shot (excuse the moire, I had to use a phone to show the brush size properly) to show settings and the effect I'm talking about, so it's perfectly clear.
    I have been putting up with this for months, but it's driving me crazy. Also, it occurred to me that all adjustments I make might 'change' later when I fix it, and it might show up unknown to me when I export the files later. And this would waste hundreds of hours of work if something resets somehow.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
    Thanks in advance for all replies!
    Stu

    This problem is caused by changing the cursor size in the ACCESSIBILITY settings in your OS.  Here is a screen shot from the Mac but Windows has similar settings.  I reported this in Lightroom 2 or 3 and it is STILL not fixed. (Adobe's bug fixing rate to me is pretty dismal)   If you change your system cursor to anything except "Normal" you will get this behavior as Lightroom doesn't account for the system preferences.  I would like to make my cursor bigger but this prevents it.

  • I have imported a color picture and trying to use the adjustment brush to turn the background black and white and it isn't working.  I have Lightroom 5.  Any suggestions?

    Hello - I have Lightroom 5.  I have imported a color photo.  I am trying to use the Adjustment Brush to change the background to Black and White and leave a portion of the photo in color.  When I begin painting the photo with the Saturation at -100 I don't see any changes to the photo.  I push the "O" key and still nothing.  I have tried to reset the photo, restarted Lightroom and still nothing.  Please help.

    Set Flow and Density of the brush to 100
    Reduce it where you want the effect to blend.

  • Lightroom 4 - Spot removal and adjustment brush issues

    In Lightroom 4, my spot removal and adjustment brush tools will not work on all areas of photos (in particular faces and the center of photos). The cursor seems to show the tool only on the outside portions of the photo.  Any suggestions?

    I have seen this a couple time and a restart of Lr has always fixed it.  It seems like there is some kine of dialog box waiting for input "hidden" behind Lr as it its not there if you minimize Lr.  This has been reported many times for a LONG time so it is probably one of the Lr bugs that is not getting fixed.  To be fair to Adobe, if someone could reproduce this problem it might get fixed but it seems to be pretty obscure.  BTW, I think Ihave seen reports of it in Lr5 also so hopefully it will get fixed in Lr 6

  • The Graduated Filter and Adjustment Brush in Lightroom 4 | The Complete Picture with Julieanne Kost | Adobe TV

    In this episode of The Complete Picture, discover the power of making selective adjustments like dodging and burning, color corrections and noise removal using the Graduated Filter and Adjustment Brush in Lightroom 4. Note: although this video was recorded in Lightroom, the same techniques are available in Adobe Camera Raw in Photoshop CS6.

  • Lightroom 4 Adjustment Brush Presets

    In Jeff Schewe's book "The Digital Negative," I read that Lightroom 4 comes with Adjustment Brush and Graduated Filter presets.  I use Camera Raw (CS6), which doesn't come with presets.  Would someone be willing to list the settings for each Lightroom 4 preset so I can create the same presets in Camera Raw?  Thanks.

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

  • Lightroom 4 Adjustment Brush Crashed

    Hi,
    Was editing an image in the develop module, applied the adjustment brush for saturation to the sky area, then pressed the "O" key to see the brushed area and Lightroom 4 crashed. The adjustment brush was set for 100% flow and auto masking with only the saturation slider adjusted to +12. I restarted Lightroom and brought up the same image and went to apply an adjustment brush, but as soon as I clicked on the brush Lightroom locked up and I got the following weirdness on my screen:
    Kind of strange - thought you might like to see it.
    Now it seems that attempting to do anything with this particular image will cause Lightroom 4 to lockup and display the weird little box. However, I am able to edit other images.
    Message was edited by: batracy

    Ok, after further testing I have found the following:
    1) If I close all other applications, I don't get the weird little black box that looks like a media player. I had Outlook 2007 open previously.
    2) Any use of the adjustment brush fails to set an anchor point and causes Lightroom to stop responding.
    3) Any use of the "O" key to show the brush strokes will cause Lightroom to hang.
    4) Any adjustments have a noticeable lag between making the adjustment and seeing it on the screen.
    As mentioned earlier, my system is:
    Windows 7 64 bit with all updates applied
    Intel Core2 Dual CPU running 2.6Mhz
    4GB memory
    Nvidia GeForce Graphics card
    Over 1TB of disk space
    Lightroom 3.6 running amazingly well for me - no lag time unless the file size exceeds 1.5GB which most of the time my images are smaller than that.
    Let me know if there is any additional information you need, or things you would like me to check.
