Cannot control size of adjustment brush in Lightroom 5 Develop mode

Whenever I click on the adjustment brush tool in Develop mode, its circle of influence automatically expands to the maximum diameter.
Even when I try to contain the dimensions of the circle via the LR5's size slider or left bracket key, the adjustment brush diameter remains at the max diameter.
Please advise.

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.

How can the adjustment brushes in lightroom 3 be fixed?

I have no idea how this works. The adjustment brush in lightroom 3 has stopped working. Using a mac. Customer support said if I pay $39 they might be able to fix the problem, but its better to ask on the forums. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

A quick guess or two, since you haven't really explained the symptoms.
Are your Flow and Density sliders set to something reasonable?
Try hitting the H (for hide) key.
Is the Size slider set to something large enough?
I'll only charge you $25.

I need the "highlight" or "red" to be darker when using adjustment brush in lightroom 4?

We can't do darker, but try Shift-O to cycle through other colours.

Reinstalling The Skin Soften Adjustment Brush in Lightroom 3.5

Last week I accidentally deleted the "Skin Soften" adjustment brush in Lightroom 3.3. I upgraded to Lightroom 3.5 hoping it would reinstall the adjustment brush, but no such luck. I am having trouble locating information and understanding how to reinstall this brush. If anyone could help me do this, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Go to Preferences, Presets Tab, and click "Restore Local Adjustment Presets".

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!

Using control option to adjust brush size and feather

I saw this cool shortcut for adjusting brush size and feather by holding control option and then dragging left right or up down
to adjust the brush but in the video when he clicked and dragged to adjust the brush displayed red while being adjusted and
I can't seem to get the red rubylith to display so I can't see the brush feathering when adjusted.

And whether that works (Photoshop > Preferences > Performance > GPU Settings) depends on your graphic display card (and its driver).

Adjustment Brushes in Lightroom 3.6 have stopped working on my iMac

I have Lightroom 3.6 loaded on my iMac v10.6 and have been using it continuously for some time. For the second time in just a few weeks the Adjustment Brushes/Sliders have stopped working correctly, that is there is no noticeable adjustment on my image [for example Brightness, Exposure, Clarity etc.]. I cannot remember what I was told to do to correct this problem last time I had to contact Adobe Support about this issue, and I'm told I now have to pay for support for this product now as Lightroom 4 is released.
Is there a way I can fix the problem?
Thank You.

You've checked the density and flow sliders are set high enough?
Resetting your preferences would be next port of call http://members.lightroomqueen.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/1148/198/how-do-i- delete-the-lightroom-preferences-file

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.

Adjustment brush error Lightroom 4

So, I've been working on a photo using a number of adjustment brushes and now, all of a sudden, if I try to add another brush stroke in an adjustment I've already been working on, Lightroom reverts my image back to the default and removes all the brushes. If I CTRL+Z, the image and pins for my adjustment brushes return no problem. I have never experienced this before. I've tried deleting the preferences file and that didn't work. I can work on other photos no problem, but this one that I'm talking about, seems broken. I've put a lot of time into this image and don't want to start from scratch.
Any thoughts/suggestions?

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!!

Temperature and Tint sliders missing from Adjustment Brush Panel (Lightroom 4.4)

Can't seem to locate the temperature and tint sliders in the adjustment brush panel that's supposedly an added fetaure in Lightroom 4?

1. Click the little black triangle on the right side of the line that says Effect:
2 And/Or make sure your image has been converted to Process Version 2012 by clicking the Exclamation Point in the bottom Right of the image or in the Camera Calibration Panel Process: pulldown.

Effects adjustment brush in Lightroom 5 greyed out, only available option is Custom. How do I enable Effects adjustment brush

Would like to know why Effects adjustment brush is disabled (greyed out) and the only other option is Custom.

It sounds as though you have the Mask Overlay turned on, but with the colour of the mask changed from the default pink to the dark grey that you are seeing when you paint. So either turn off the mask overlay, or change it's colour to something that suits you better (use Shift-O to cycle through the different coloured masks).
To clarify....when you paint with the mask overlay ON, you only see the mask colour on the painted areas until you either switch off the mask or dismiss the active adjustment brush (such as by clicking NEW)....then you get to see the actual effect that you painted.

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.

External drive changed from F to G drive and folders that were associated with F cannot be found when trying to open them in develop mode

how have I changed the drive from F to G and how do I access from F now or how do I transfer to G

You need to relocate the folders in the library. Read here.
Do this on the topmost folder that is showing a '?'.
