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.

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?

Can not find the Skin Soften option with the adjustment brush 2.0

When I first installed 2.0 I had an option for skin softening with the adjustment brush. Now it's gone. Does everyone using Lightroom 2.0 have skin soften with the adjustment brush?

In Develop press K for Adjustment Brush (or click the Brush Icon). The it appears in the drop down menu next to Effect: that defaults to Exposure and has a small set of up and down arrows to the right of it. Soften Skin is last after a divider. It also appears (????) there for Graduated Filter (M).

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

Adjustment brush artifacts

I noticed these artifacts when using the adjustment brush when I accidently had the sliders set to positions I normally wouldn't use. The artifacts show up no matter how fast or slow the brush cursor is moved. It happens when the flow is around the 50 setting and feathering is close to zero. The problem is easily eliminated by using a lower flow and more importantly a higher feather which is what I would normally use if I want to "paint" in an adjustment. This is just for user info and I don't consider this a glitch but just misuse of the sliders. I does show how the brush design works as overlaping circles though.

Here are the screen shots with the original, with Auto Mask on and without Auto Mask.
Thanks to C. Frans W for the suggestion of it being an Auto Mask issue.
Dorin, if you have any other comments, I would welcome them.
If C. Frans W has additional comments those are welcome also.

LR6 Soften Skin adjustment brush issue

Anyone having problems with the Soften Skin adjustment brush in LR6 for very backlit photos? Mine is showing as very dark since upgrading my catalogue from LR5 and I can't get it to blend in with the skin tones now. Thank you!

Hi,
EDIT and delete my post to replace it with this:
I JUST FOUND THE ANSWER!

In my case, I was looking in the wrong place for the preset. It is not in the list of presets in the left column. Instead, it is in the Effects dropdown right in the Adjustment Brush palette.

Adjustment brushes just plain stinks....

Really disappointed in both CR and LR2 as the adjustment brush is unusable.
If I open a raw image in Photoshop CS4 and try to use the adjustment brush it consistently crashes PS.
If I use the adjustment brush in LR2 after a couple of strokes the program grinds to a crawl and then will quit all together. I have to reboot the system after one these sessions.
Great idea just too bad it is so lousy.
Really disappointed in the quality of these releases. Spent alot of time with tech support and after about an hour of trouble shooting the tech comes back and tells me it's a bug they know about and will be fixed with next release. It wasn't fixed with LR 2.2.....maybe he meant ver.3

>This issue related to Lr2.0 and 2.1, it was fixed in Lr 2.2
Wish you were 100% correct but alas not so for me and apparently others. Please read my latest post (#34) here for some helpful details:

>The fact that the OP is having Camera Raw crash Photoshop is a REAL GOOD indication his computer has some serious problems
Maybe, but this issue is clearly an Adobe problem (Windows for sure)and is complicated by the many software/hardware factors, as well. Simply blaming one's hardware doesn't help solve the problem any more than someone ranting about Adobe's alleged incompetence. As you can see from my above referenced post, there is an issue with ACR (and CS4) albeit a relatively minor one (for me) involving a bit o' lag. Strangely enough, the ol' box seems to outperform many newer multi cores for some reason (Vista?) and overall I'm very happy with ACR and CS4 (next machine will likely be a Mac, though). LR needs more help if I'm to keep it beyond the trial period. Too bad, 30% off with free shipping from Adobe seemed to be a pretty good deal.

Eye Color adjustment brush question

On the adjustment brush when I am using it to change eye color it doesn't change the color at all. I want to change it completely not just lighten it or give it a different tint or hue.
I go to the adjustment brush, turn the saturation all the way down, and then select a color that stands out so that I will be able to tell what I am painting. When I select the color it shows it in the small window in the bottom right side of the adjustment brush "window" thing. The problem is that when I paint it, it doesn't show up at all, it barely even makes a difference no matter which color I select. How do I make it change drastically and completely? Did I accidentally tamper with the settings?
Also, when I use the "plus" and "minus" keys on the keyboard it changes clarity instead of exposure, How do I change it back to exposure?
Thanks for your time. - IZ

Check your Flow setting on the brush (the amount per stroke)
and your Density setting (the limit to how much of your effect (color in your case) settings. If either are very low (under 30 for example) you will have a tough time bulding up paint.

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???

Lightroom crashes when using the Adjustment Brush

everytime i try to use the adjustment brush it crashes lightroom? help
Message title was edited by: Brett N

Hey Brett,
Thank you for your quick respond
Well, there was a message after it crashed asking me if I want to report or send an email, which I did. Then it says that Adobe is an able to know the problem. Maybe this is the message you are talking about.
I have imported the same file from another source, and to a new catalog. same thing. In fact, I managed to apply both tools before it crashes, now every time I go to the same photo and just zoom in and out, it crashes.
I then uninstalled 4.3 and downgraded to 4.2. It works fine with this version (even the same old file that caused everything) it is just really slow version. 4.1 (straight from the CD) was REALLY fast and with no issues.. or maybe I didn't get to push it to its limits. 4.3 is slower but crashes. 4.2 is very slow but never crashes.
I'm saying that after uninstalling and reinstalling all these versions couple of times each.
I was considering upgrading my OS to 10.8.3 (even though I really don't want to) just to see if I can run 4.3 properly. But then I read that 4.3 is widely problematic and that is why 4.4 is coming out so soon.
What do you suggest? Should I stick with 4.2 for the time being? Just received a reply from another staff member saying that I should just wait for 4.4 Is there any time frame to the release?
Sorry for making it this long..
Much obliged

Cursor is Off When Using Adjustment Brush

Is anyone else having or solved this problem?
In Lighroom 3.5 (all updates installed), when I attempt to use the Adjustment Brush tool, my mouse cursor appears to be off. After choosing the tool, if I click a location on my picture, it acts as if I actually clicked down and to the right roughly and inch. Also, when I move the cursor from the photo back to the tool pane, it "jumps" about the same amount as soon as I cross between the two panes. It's very annoying and renders the brush unusable.
Installed on a recent MBA with Lion.
Any help is greatly appreciated...

Dorin,
I do not think it is a videocard problem. Everything else works fine, no problem. I have used Lightroom under Vista and now I use Windows 7 ultimate. I also used Windows ultimate before the crash. When I use e.g. Google maps and I enlarge the map everything is OK. The problem occurs also when I use the laptop's touchpad.
I do not know what videocard or driver version....
I hope this helps anyway.....

LR4 Adjustment Brushes ... Possible Bug?

If I proceed to edit a Nikon NEF image in LR4 using the Adjustment Brushes (doesn't matter which one(s)) ... and then proceed to further edit the image in Photoshop CS5 ... the areas in which I've applied brush strokes do not carry over to PS correctly. Basically, anywhere there is a Brush Stroke ... it looks like I've gone crazy with the Dodge tool.
I do not remember this being an issue in LR3.

When you edit in Photoshop, you should get the compatibility warning for camera raw. Do you select "Render in Lightroom" or "Open anyway"?
If you check the "don't show" option on that warning, you may then lock in use of the incompatible version of camera raw.
PS - I've just tried it, and I reckon this might be your problem. If you edit in CS5 and choose "Open anyway" then adjustment brush work is lost, if you chose "Render in Lightroom" then the adjustments go through to CS5.
If you've previously chosen "Open anyway" and checked "don't show again" then try Edit menu, Preferences, General tab and click "Reset all warning dialogs".

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.
