Adjustment Brushes Lightroom 5 Not working

i have been using Lightroom 5 for months but suddenly my adjustment brushes aren't working at all.
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

    Hi, Dave.
    If you're using the BlackBerry browser, you can't configure anything to bypass the RIM servers.  I believe you may do so by using the Opera browser, but I haven't tried it myself so cannot comment with authority.
    I hope that clears up the issue for you.

  • Brush Tool is not working with Layer Mask

    Working with Windows platform, using Photoshop CS4, Brush Tool is not working with Layer Mask, how can I resolve this challenge?

    Also, do you have any Selections active - maybe hidden?
    When you have your Layer Mask's Channel active, do your Colors change to black and white?
    Good luck,

  • Hi! I have a problem with the adjustment brush some are not there anymore like soften skin, how i can fix that?

    Hi! I have a problem with the adjustment brush some are not there anymore like soften skin, how i can fix that?

    Hi dear,
    it's funny, real funny.
    I think the programmes have diffrent sound system from the normal calls system.
    All you need to do is to turn the sound up from the bottom in the phone side in the time you're making or recieving the call.
    you'll hear the sound.
    I hope that would help.
    All the best

  • The adjustment brush in Lightroom does not work

    The lightroom brush does not work.  The radial filter and graduated filters work.  How can I correct this?

    What isn't working? Explain a little bit about the problem. Also, what OS, what version of Lightroom, a few details to help us understand your situation really helps. If the problem is that you can't see the tool when it's activated, try pressing the H key which is the toggle switch to hide/show the tool. Another thing to look at is the the flow adjustment on the tool. Without more information, I could guess and guess and guess. But I would just be wasting my time and yours.

  • Adjustment Brush Intermittently Won't Work

    Running a new Mac 27" with 3.06 Intel 2 core, 8 GB RAM, OS 10.6.3, Lightroom 3 (64 bit). The adjustment brush will suddenly stop and start working. Very frustrating!

    infinity,
    Yes, use the Lightroom forum.

  • 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.

  • Spot healing brush tool luminosity not working as expected?

    I have a question about the content aware spot healing brush tool:
    The normal and replace mode work just fine as expected... the color mode does indeed a fine job fixing the color cast of i.e. small green or purple lens flares, by picking up the surrounding color.
    The next mode after color, called luminosity, should work in the same fashion: it should pick up the surrounding brightness (luminosity), and adjust the relative brightness of the area to be patched (i.e. reduce the brightness of a small lens flare, and preserve the texture underneath).
    Instead, luminosity doesn't work much different than the normal mode, it creates a new texture (based on content aware or surrounding area), and thereby destroying the original texture, instead of just fixing the local brightness.
    My question for Adobe: is this behavior intentional? or was the luminosity mode "overlooked" by accident?

    Here are some examples of how the brush is working in a real world example:
    As I have mentioned, normal, replace, and color work exactly as expected. color in LAB mode works even better than in RBG mode.
    what is not working as (at least by me expected) is luminosity mode (even if the color mode brush is used first). I thought/had hoped for that the luminosity mode would work some magic without creating new textures (the color mode is only very very lightly adding a new texture).
    I just wanted to hear what the logic behind this mode is... (and possibly find a 1-2 click tool to fix those lens flares.)

  • RWL to DNG in Lightroom Win7 not working

    Hello, I just got my MBP yesterday and I am trying out aperture and I have to say that I´m loving it, however I am having a small problem, though the .DNG converted in lightroom from my Nikon D200 and the .RWLs from my Leica D-Lux 5 are showing perfectly the .DNGs converted in lightroom from my .RWLs are not working, I have Aperture 3.1.1 and CameraRAW 3.5.0
    I tried using the Adobe DNG Converter with all possible settings with no luck at all.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you very much!

    Yes, i have already decided to skip the DNG step.. BUT.. the 400 or so files that i have are only on DNG, now im converting to tiff and i will forget about it, in the future i will just keep them as RWL...
    Aha. So it is a matter of "saving" the files you already have? If you created the DNG with the option to embed the original, you should be able to retrieve the original with DNG converter.
    If you did not, I think conversion to tiff is the best option. You may want to keep the DNG as well, however, at least for critical photos. The DNG will contain much more image data than your converted tiff files. In many cases, that will not matter at all, as the tiff anyhow contains all the info that is needed. However, with overexposed or underexposed photos, or photos where the white balance is off, the DNG may contain data you may actually need.

  • CS6 color pallet, brushes, and shapes not working.

    I have been having issues with my shape tool not working at all a message pops up saying that "Cannot use tool due to program error," but does not give an error code, then the same thing started happening with my brush tools and the color pallet will not switch colors unless I close the program even then it's 50/50 that the colors switch. I recently uninstalled then re-installed Photoshop CS6 and it is still happening. I have noticed that Kaspersky Security 2013 keeps blocking the Raw Camera updates, could it be messing up the entire program or is this an internal CS6 program issue. Please help I want to get back to my artwork I'm so far behind.

    User preferences survive un-install and re-install and are often the cause of Photoshop problems.  You also provide very like pertinent information other the you have problems use CS6 which is the buggiest version of Photoshop ever released. I could not use ir fir the first five month that I had ir.  It took Adobe that long to fix some of the bugs the were biting.  The First update fixed 506 core issues according to Adobe Blog.   You Also noted the security programs cause problems with updates. Adobe suggest turning off such security when updating. When Adobe puts out useless error message like failed because of program error you need to see if you can reproduce the error is a repeatable way to help point to what is causing the error.
    First try resetting you Photoshop Preferences.  When Photoshop start acting up the is one of the first thing to try before resorting to re-install.   Adoeb evet has a start-up shortcut key to reset your preferences  Shift+Ctrl|CND+Alt|Option

  • Having start up problems, keyboard light and loudness adjustment via keyboard does not work

    Often if I start my MacBookPro 13" with Lion it starts up and is than blocked. I can not open the finder nor starting any programm. The turning wheel never stops and I have to restart the book by pressing the on/off button for a long time. Sometimes I need to do that several times till it runs stable.
    During this week I experienced in addition that the keyboard light is not working anymore and also the loudspeaker adjustment does not work via keybaord. Only via menu bar.
    Any idea what's going on with my book?

  • Layer mask brush/gradient tool not working in black.

    I have cannot paint in black to conceal on a layer mask.  I have "NORMAL" mode set and the foreground color is set to black.  When I paint or use the gradient tool in "normal" mode with black it paints to transparent.   Before the uprade it was normal.   I have this problem on both CS6 apps pc-and-laptop.  I am lost here.  Can I get someone to help a brother out...
    Thanks,
    Kenny

    Same issue, please see below:
    Given:
         Photoshop 12.1 x64 on OS X 10.7
    Problem:
         Painting with black and using the 'gradation tool' inside a 'white' (everything exposed) layer mask is NOT WORKING:
    The facts:
         1) Using a black-to-white gradation in a white layer mask is not working.
         2) Using a black-to-transparent gradation in a white layer mask is not working.
         3) But, a using a white-to-black gradation in a black layer mask is working.
         4) or, using a white-to-transparent gradation in a black layer mask is working.
    This used-to work. Shall we keep an eye out for a fix or is Adobe going to back-out this bug from the update that broke this?

  • Brush tool is not working.

    For some reason, my brush tool randomly stops working, even the preview thumbnail won't show a brush stroke. Also, my eraser has been acting up, first only adding black, then erasing layer and I can't set it to white. I have PS Elements 10.

    For some reason, my brush tool randomly stops working, even the preview thumbnail won't show a brush stroke
    - I think that you have a non-zero fade value in the brush settings dialog box. This causes the brush stroke to fade away after some strokes. Click the brush settings button in the option bar of brush tool and make the fade value as zero.Er
    Also, my eraser has been acting up, first only adding black, then erasing layer and I can't set it to white
    -Eraser tool eraser the color to transparency if you are on a non-background layer. Otherwise if you are on a background layer it paints with the background color. Press shortcut "D" to set the default background color to white and now use eraser tool. It will erase layer if  you are on a non-background layer and it will paint with white if you are on a background layer.
    Please tell if this helps.
