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.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

Lightroom adjustment brush not working

My adjustment brush was working fine, I took a break, and when I came back the brush won't do anything. The pin appears but the image doesn't change. I've tried adjusting size, feather, and flow all over the scale, and I've pushed the exposure down as far as it will go so I can see if anything happens. None of the regular exposure, highlight, shadow... settings are doing anything. It is showing up in the history bar but no change to the image.
I have tried closing and reopening the program and restarting the computer. It's been several days and I still can't get it to work

Try deleting your preferences file

Adjustment Brush not working correctly

Since moving to LR 5.6 the adjustment brush has not worked correctly.
I am unable to adjust the size of the brush using the scroll function on my Mac mouse.When I try to do this I can see the slider moving indicating the size of the brush but nothing actually happens.When I try to adjust it using the slider itself again nothing happens.
Has anyone else experienced this problem or can you offer some advise please

The ACR plug-in files for PS-CS6 and PS-CC are in different folders, but the camera profiles and lens profiles are in a common folder. Since updates to ACR are typically handled by the product, itself, not direct-link downloads that you must have saved for ACR 7.1, I don’t know what the error means in relation to CC having a newer ACR.
What version of ACR did you have installed for CS6 before you tried to update to ACR 7.1? Are you trying to downgrade from a higher version of ACR on CS6?
The first thing I would try is install ACR 8.3 RC for PS-CS6, using the CS6-specific link at Adobe Labs.
If you really need to go back to an earlier version of ACR, then the Adobe-approved method is to uninstall PS, entirely, then re-install it to get the older version.
It may be that you have to uninstall both CS6 and CC and then install CS6, first, and get it updated the way you want it, then install CC, again, and update it how you want it. That seems like a lot of work, though.
Why are you wanting to install ACR 7.1 for CS6?
If you plan ahead, then the way you can switch between different versions of the ACR plug-in, is to save your Camera Raw.8bi file each time you upgrade (I rename mine so the extension is the version: Camera Raw_8bi.71 and leave them in the same folder), and just replace whatever version of the ACR plug-in with that one you want.

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 not working on new Mac with Snow Leopard

Just purchased a new computer a couple of weeks ago. Not sure if something is incompatible or something else. I'm can't remember if the brush ever worked on the new machine. Also updated to Snow leopard 16.2 during this period.
I see the adjustment brush and can change it's size and feathering, flow and density are set at 100%, masking is off, it set down control points, but that's it. It makes no visible changes to the image in any mode. If I put exposure at 4 stops and place it on a mid-tone there is no change to the image, either in Lightroom or upon export.
I've run permissions checks, trashed the preferences and repaired the drive with Diskwarrior all to no avail.
Lightroom 2.5, Power Mac 2.66 Ghz Quad Core Intel Xeon, 6 GB of factory installed memory, Snow Leopard 16.2
Should I try a fresh install of Lightroom??

Sorry,
My post above should have read Mac Pro. I recently switched and keep getting the names mixed up. Doesn't help that they look the same.

Adjustment brush not working LR 5

Why isn't my adjustment brush working when it was working before. New LR version 5...had less than one month

Have you made any changes to your computer or updated the OS?
What exactly is happening when you click on the brush tool icon or press the K key to activate it?
If you press the O key to display the overlay can you see if the brush tool is making a mask when you paint on the photo?
Check that you have not set the brush to Erase ; click B for the standard brush or A for a brush with auto-mask edges.
Make sure flow and density is set to 100 unless you wish to gradually build up the effect (flow) or Place a limit on the effect (density)

Adjustment Brush not Working

in the Develop module my adjustment brush is not working, all the other sliders work, what is wrong?

Are you moving the sliders with the "pin" for your brushed area selected? When the "pin" is selected, it looks like a black circle surrounded by a very light gray circle and then a very thin black circle, like this:
What numbers do you move the sliders to?
Did you accidentally turn off the brush adjustments? The little doohickey highlighted in the red box, shown here, should be in the top position
Lastly, I am asking you to perform a very specific experiment, and report the results, and it does not appear that you have done so, or at least, you have not stated clearly that you have done so.
Please, click on "New" in the brush tool, then set Exposure to -4 and Flow to 100 and Density to 100, and brush. Report what happens.

I have LR 3.4 & 3.6... Adjustment Brush not working

I have LR 3.4 & 3.6... The adjustment brush is not working... I see people are having problems with LR 4 and are removing the preferences thing, but I don't see anything about LR 3 with this happening... I have it on my laptop and it doesn't work... So far the PC upstairs is still working... so not sure what happened on the laptop...
How do I fix it here?

There's no effect when I brush over the area.
I've tried exposure, brightness, teeth whitening and iris enhance... None of the changes they should make are showing...
I will try to remember to get a screen shot of the panel tomorrow when I've got the laptop again.

Brushes not working with new RAW conversion for Nikon D7000

I have always worked with RAW files w/A2 & A3.1.1 with my Nikon (D80) And now, just got Nikon's D7000 and of course, waited for the RAW conversion that just came out.
Apple addressed the Nikon D7000 RAW situation (which was fixed this month), but now when I use "brushes" on RAW pics, very little if any changes occur.
Very little affect occurs (if any) with A3.1.1 and the "new" RAW conversion for Nikon. I shot (at the same time) both RAW and JPEG (as cameras can) and put them side by side in A3. Pulled down Dodge / Burn / Skin Smoothing & Blur from brushes and they all did a great job. But on the RAW pic that was taken at the same time..... nada, nothing (maybe a minute change, but nothing to call home about).
Bottom line, the newest RAW capability that came out a couple of weeks ago, somehow messed up brushes? I don't think I am that smart or lucky to see this issue. Am I missing something here? If so, please set me straight.
I have tried the places one pulls down brushes but no affect on RAW. Using curves from bricks and luminance, etc, works just fine. Guess I am stuck with JPEG's until this is resolved by our A3 guys, or someone realigns me.

I am able to import them, but I cannot edit them as RAW files. They behave like .jpegs. So correcting exposure for example is a horrible experience. My 5D Mark II files behave as they did in Aperture, so it is the FZ1000 RAWs in particular that are problematic.

Adjustment brush not working in lightroom 5.7

The adjustment brush sliders don't appear to do anything anymore in Lightroom 5.7. Does anyone else have the same problem?
I don't need workarounds - this should work.
Thanks folks.

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")

"O" does not affect any editing of the image.

Adjustment Brushes not working (3.0 & 3.2)

While processing some images the other night, using the adjustment brushes, burn, 3 large white squares appeared on the image for a few moments (5 seconds or so) before disappearing.
Since then, the adjustment brushes have no effect what so ever on my images?
Thanks
James

Hi James
After selecting the Adjustment Brush press O (for overlay) so show the area being masked.
You can then move the sliders e.g. exposure, saturation, clarity etc.) to adjust the masked area (usually shown as a red selection).
You can press O repeatedly to toggle the mask on and off.

LR2 Adjustment Brush not working?

I just got Lightroom 2 and have tried over and over to use the adjustment brush, but I haven't seen ANY results. A black circle with silver lining shows up where I click the picture with the brush. I have heard that clicking "O" makes the adjustment show up, but I've tried it and nothing happens. So, help! Am I missing a simple step or something??

Hi Emily,
One of the mask overlays that you get when pressing 'O' and shift + 'O' is clear and makes it impossible to see the results.
Press O to make the mask active and then press Shift O a few times to cycle through the masks.
If you put the exposure at -2 you should see the area darkening as you brush.

Adjustment brush not working on Power Mac w/ Snow Leopard

Running Lightroom 2.5. I've done permissions repairs, run DIsk Warrior and a re-installed - nothing works. Works fine on my laptop with Tiger. Power Mac 2.66 Ghz Quad, 6 Gigs of Apple Ram, OS - 10.6.2. The brush is visible, lays down a point, but makes no visible change to the image. I'm totally frustrated with this.
Anybody else having this problem? Any ideas?
Thanks,

I just upgraded to Photoshop cs6 so that my new camera (Nikon D7100) would work in Camera Raw. However, it will not download from the "Update" option in CS6.

I just upgraded to Photoshop cs6 so that my new camera (Nikon D7100) would work in Camera Raw (I was told that the Camera Raw update 8.3, which is available for CS6, included this camera). However, it will not download from the "Update" option in CS6. I have tried over 10 times - it just says update is not working. and I cannot find an alternate way of downloading this file. So I still can use my camera, even thought I paid to upgrade. HELP please.

What OS do you have? You say you have explained what you had (computer/opsys) but I honestly don't see it here. If you had mentioned that my advice would have been different; I believe you can only upgrade as far as Camera Raw 8.3 on an older Windows system. There is more information here (look specifically for the "Revert to 8.3 ..." titles).
Adobe Camera Raw Help | Camera Raw/DNG Converter 8.4 on Mac OS 10.6, Windows XP, and Vista
What you've done/written in your last post confuses things further, unfortunately. Photoshop 13.1 is strictly a Creative Cloud version. The highest you can go is Photoshop CS6 13.0.1.3 with perpetual license.
And as far as I can recall, that version can work on Windows back to XP:
System requirements | Photoshop
I don't think you're out of luck, but you seem to be leaping into doing things without having the full story, and are jumping to conclusions a bit too quickly.
Here's what I suggest you try:
1. Remove Photoshop entirely with the Creative Suite Removal Tool:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
2. Install Photoshop CS6 from your original media or from here:
Download CS6 products
3. Update the application using its own Help - Updates process. That really should get you the latest Camera Raw version that will work. If that does not bring you a Camera Raw that works with your Nikon, use the "Revert to 8.3" instructions above.

Some body can help me ?
