Adjustment brushes stopped working

Using LR 5.4 on MacBook Pro OS X ver 10.9.3
was using LR last night and all my adjustment brushes worked fine. Today I try to use it and I get no overlay or response to any brush i choose on any picture. I get the adjustment pin but not adjustments are being made. I went through every brush in the list to confirm no adjustments were being made. The history shows brush strokes being added or removed but nothing is showing on the picture. I have overlay checked. I have waited approx 5 min for possible lag but nothing happens. have rebooted multiple times. I am trying to avoid doing an uninstall/reinstall because i really dont wanna have to import everything again. any suggestions would be grateful.

Please explain how it was resolved and mark your answer as correct. This way others with a similar problem in future might benefit.

My spot healing brush stopped working

My spot healing brush stopped working. After releasing the mouse, it blinks and remains black. If I do another spot, the first spot is fixed and the second one is black. And so on. This began after updating to 12.0.4 x64 (Mac 10.7.3)*

Try resetting the brush tool. Right click on the brush tool in upper left corner and select reset tool.

All Adjustment Brushes only work in the lower parts of my pictures. In the upper parts the tool view changes to a "normal" mouse pointer. (MBP, 10.8.5m, LR 5.3).

Speed adjustment has stopped working

iMovie 10.0.4; OS 10.9.4.
I am three quarters of the way through a 45-minute project, and the speed adjustment has stopped working. The hare icon is greyed out. I have used the adjustment successfully on two or three clips in the project, both for speed adjustment and clip reversal, and these adjustments are still effective, though the SpeedBar and hare symbol have vanished from their thumbnails.I have tried a number of things, but to no avail:
Creating a new project based on a different event. Speed adjustment does not work for that either.
Creating a project in iMovie on a different user account. That does work.
Reverting temporarily to iMovie 10.0 .3. Didn't work.
Repairing permissions and restarting. Didn't work.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I haven't really done any cleanup or anything for that matter simply because I can't figure anything out. When it comes to track down and remove the user.js file, I can't find it at all. I even followed all the instructions to get to the profile page that it would be one. I am not trying to get speed dial as a home page, I want it to be there when I open up a new tab. On the whole speed dial options, it is selected as a new tab however this flippin search page conduit.com is there. I have even set the speed dial to open up in a new window, and that did not work. I don't know what to do. I feel for whatever reason my Firefox is not installed properly. When I installed it, the so called firefox button at the top was never there. When an online instructions shows me pictures, I have something completely different and have to spend time figureing out where this whatever is. If resetting firefox will fix the issue, even if I have to re install Speed dial and reset it all, I am totally game for that. Nothing else has worked and I am getting very frustrated by it.

I cant get my adjustment brush to work!

I cant get my adjustment brush to work like it use to .. it keeps paiting red and not doing any adjustments

The red is the mask overlay. Turn that off.

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

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.

Why would adjustment layers stop working?

I was retouching a painting earlier and i could not get every detail because my adjustment layers stopped allowing me to paint on the mask. I spent about 1hr trying to figure it out. I never did.
I switched from ps v13 and v12 and niether would allow me to paint on the mask. All of the correction i did were on adjustment layers. I would add an adjustment layer and tweak it then invert the mask and then paint with the brush. Then i wouyld merge layers. After about 4 merges it stop allowing the painting on the mask.
What could make this happen?

Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels visible?
Just to make sure: What are the settings for the Brush you use (opacity, blend mode, …)?

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.

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?

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?

Edit a copy with lightroom adjustment suddenly stopped working

I have been using lightroom 3.4 and photoshop CS6 for sometime. However suddenly I cant move images from lightroom to photoshop (Ctrl+E) with the "Edit a copy with lightroom adjustment".
When I click this option, it opens the Photoshop. But doesnt open the image. However the other two options "edit a copy" and "Edit original" works fine.
Also when i add photoshop again as another external editor, it works fine. But as you all are aware this create another copy of the image.
What I did
I checked the applications path for photoshop and it was correct.
I uninstalled lightroom and reinstalled.

Hi Victoria,
I dont have 3.6. but I installed lightroom 4 and the function worked fine. But i didnt like the version 4, as it consumes a lot of resources.
I can open raw files without any problem.
And this function had been working before and suddenly this stopped working. I didnt do any setttings changes even.
Really appreciate your help on this.
