Continual problem with the Adjustment brush in both Lightroom 3 and Lightroom 4

The Adjustment brush in both Lightroom 3 and Lightroom 4 continually stops functioning correctly - that is any adjustment made using the sliders in the Adjustment Brush panel does not make an adjustment on the image.      Normally I would go to Library / Preferences [on my iMac OSX 10.6.8], remove the com.adobe.Lightroom3.plist file and restart Lightroom.     However I have gone to Library/Preferences and there is no listing of any Lightroom 3 plist files, nor for that matter any adobe Photoshop CS5 plist files or any adobe Lightroom 4 plist files.      I have tried restarting the iMac but to no avail - no help at all!      I have no idea how to remedy the situation as I have no idea where the plist files have gone!!!
Incidentally I have a new iMac 27" OSX 10.8 - same problem with the Adjustment Brush there, but so far the plist files haven't disappeared into the ether somewhere!
Help would be appreciated  ...
Many thanks

Hi Jussi
I tried changing to the B brush set, and the Adjustment Brush worked OK in there for a while - but now I have the same problem with the B brush set too.     It appears to happen instantly - one minute they're working, the next minute they're not!!         For example, I was adjusting Brightening using the Adjustment Brush and I literally made an adjustment on one image, then went back into the same image seconds later to make a further Brightening adjustment and the brush wasn't working - well, that is, not unless I pushed the slider to something like 160 and then I got minimal adjustment!!!       I am becoming increasingly frustrated  ..   I have literally worked for months with no problems, now it's almost every day!!

    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

  • Has anyone experienced a problem with the adjustment brush since last update (for Mac) last week?

    Following an update to Lightroom on my Mac Pro work station last Friday: when I apply my adjustment brush to an area in an image, a faint box encompassing a much larger area than the size of my brush appears (extends well beyond the area I've identified with my brush and is clearly a large square shape). When I release my mouse, the adjustment I've made affects my entire image. I had no issues with adjustment brush prior to the update. I've been on the phone with Adobe support (no help). Have uninstalled/reinstalled Lightroom several times (no help). Adobe directed me to Apple (recommend use of Time Machine to date before Lightroom update came through). To ensure it's an isolated bug, I checked my MacBook Pro. Worked fine without update; I let update come through and find the adjustment brush "bug" is intermittent. When it occurs, however, I always see the larger "box" area, and the adjustment brush ultimately affects my entire image.
    Anyone else experiencing this? Adobe support insists it's a Mac issue. Thanks!

    Hi,

    Same problem (rectangular areas) + others under Windows. The adjustment brush and the clone / heal tool have been totally broken in LR 3.2. You're not alone. See this thread. I have filed a bug report. No answer until now.

  • Something very strange is happening with the adjustment brush

    When I brush over an area of a photo with the adjustment brush, LR does not select all of the area I brushed over, regardless how many times I go over it.  The unselected spots look like pepper sprinkled on mashed potatoes, small dots that will not select, and so will not do whatever effect I'm trying to do. Like if I brush a hillside, the little dots will appear (apparently randomly) If I change the color temp the selected area changes like it should but the little specks do not change.  LR will not select them.  Please help.

    Sorry, not the right answer. But thankx for taking a shot. According to
    Adobe LR does not have enough pixels when I'm working on a macro subject
    (say a butterfly that I'm trying to work on at 2x in the navigator) there
    just are not enough pixels. So I have to transfer projects that deal with
    micro subject into PS, PS had  no problem detecting the holed and filling
    them in, what I've got to do is select using the magic pen or whatever
    works best and then make adjustments to the selection. We do that, no
    problem.  Then back to LR for larger more general adjustments. I have no
    idea why, WHY Adobe would have two programs that work so closely together
    and yet not have identical selection abilities. That's a mistake in my book.

  • Why don't changes made in camera raw with the adjustment brush carry into photoshop?

    Why don't changes made in camera raw with the adjustment brush carry into photoshop?

    Using the Open button in ACR to get to PS doesn’t create a PSD or a TIF, it just transfers the image in memory. 
    As has been asked, already, what are the precise steps of your workflow starting with your painting the adjustment brush strokes in ACR and seeing the image in PS without the strokes, and what exact versions of PS and ACR are you using? 
    Use Help / About Photoshop..., and Help / About Plug-ins... / Camera Raw...

  • 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).

  • I need help with the adjustment brush.

    When I first started using Lightroom, the adjustment brush worked fine. Now, I will select the adjustment brush, click on the photo I'm editing, and a red circle will appear depending on the circumference I chose. If I look at the thumbnail in the navigation sidebar to the left, the red circle appears as a black circle in that photo. In addition, none of the sliders will work with the exception of the exposure adjuster. However, the effects of adjusting the exposure only appear in the thumbnail in the navigation sidebar; the main image will stay red in the area selected. Does anybody have a clue how to fix this?

    Press the [o] key (overlay) to make the red overlay disappear.  The black that appears in your thumbnail is likely caused by a very high negative exposure value for the brush.  It also sounds like you have the Adjustment Brush panel partially collapesed.  On the same line as the word Effect: on the right side is a small black triangle, click on it to expand. These are the sliders that go with the brush - not hte sliders in the basic panel which I suspect you are using.

  • Fixing the problem with the Device Not Recongized by WMP and Mediasource problem with MTP devi

    PLEASE READ THE WHOLE THING!!! I KNOW IT SOUNDS LIKE MANY OTHER FAILED SOLUTIONS BUT YOU HAVE TO READ THROUGH MY WHOLE POST TO MAKE IT WORK!!!TRUST ME!!!
    ok, now I read this a billion times, and felt that I was the only idiot that had a "bad" computer that didn't allow me to use my Zen mtp device... but it turns out I was more idiotic than I thought. I hope this helps those who have the same problem I had...here goes...
    When you go to the Creative Labs website, go to Support, then Knowledge Base, then go to the MP3 players picture in the PRODUCT CATEGORY and click on it. You need to follow the steps that are described on the SID0053 Product Article. Then click on the Editing the System Registry link towards the bottom and it will tell you what to do...BUT there is something that I never ever did right and I bet lots of other folks didn't do right either. Once you are in the USB Properties seccion of the registry, YOU ACTUALY HAVE TO ADD THE WORD "EVERYONE" INTO THE ALLOWED SECCION!!! Not just because it says "Administrators" and what not means that EVERYONE IS ALLOWED, allow the word "everyone"thne click OK. Now, I did this with my Zen Touch on and plugged into the USB port and without the word DOCKED on it, as it wouldn't dock for me before this. that's it... hope it works for you, if it does then almost instantly the word DOCKED should appear on your MP3 player's Display. Hope that everyone has the same luck as I did. if not, I'll pray for you, I know how frustrating this problem is because I delt with it for toooooo long.

    I had a similar problem with my Zen Touch, but the only symptom was not being able to install MediaSource or the Software Suite. I got the same messages that you did. I was able to use Windows Explorer to add/edit/remove files, but I wanted the Zen Media Explorer so that I could create playlists. After about 2 days of research and trial and error, I ended up fixing it by uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers.
    If you don't know how to do that, here are instructions...
    I'm using XP SP2, btw, so if you're using another version of Windows, it might be slightly different...
    ) With the Zen connected, Right-click on "My Computer"
    2) Select "Properties"
    3) Click on the "Hardware" tab and select "Device Manager"
    4) Right Click on "MTP Device" (or MTP Media Player) and select "Uninstall"
    5) Disconnect the player from the computer, wait about 5 secs, and reconnect.
    When you reconnect it, the drivers will be reinstalled. Try running the setup again after that.
    If that still doesn't work, look for random optional Windows updates, maybe?...esp. PlaysForSure, WMP, or USB/mobo/INF/Chipset driver updates...or maybe when it says "Setup could not detect and portable device on your system. Setup will now install the necessary drivers to enable your device to be detected," it actually <i>is</i> doing something, but it isn't apparent until you reinstall the driver. To be honest, I just don't know. The computer I'm using is only a few months old and I didn't have any problems installing on an older computer.
    Oh well. I hope that fixes your problem.
    As far as the problem with the 360 connectivity, I'm sorry I can't help you there.Message Edited by potestasx on -03-2006:28 PM

  • Problems with the dynamic loader... And well... I SERIOUSLY messed up.

    So you might call me an idiot.  Go ahead... I deserve it.
    I was in the process of updating my netbook over SSH because I left it back home when I went to school.  I ended up running into problems with glibc etc...  So I did something that I seriously regret...
    I executed the command...
    mv /lib/* /usr/lib*
    This has to be the most retarded thing I have ever done ever... Like I'm not even shitting you.
    To make things worse... I don't have busybox and have no method of getting busybox onto the computer.
    Now I have seen about using the dynamic loader "ld-linux.so.2" to execute programs using a user defined library path.  So I thought perfect, I can do this.  The problem is... I can't find it.  I looked on two healthy Arch machines at the locations and names.  I used that to try this.  I am sure at least I have a recent version of glibc installed (<current version>-1 I believe).  But I still cannot find this at all.  I am logged in as root over SSH but it fails to log in again on another session.  So I have one session to work with it I can work it at all.
    Do you have any suggestions to fix this?  If not, I can always have someone tomorrow dd a copy of an arch iso tomorrow and possibly fix everything... But I would really like this fixed without all of that... Thanks...

  • Few problems with the dock. Creating App stack, and removing apps from dock

    OK.. I am running leopard 10.5.4, and decided I wanted to use the app folder as a stack. I made my new folder with the alias' inside. However, when I went to move it into the dock, 9on the right side of the sizing bar), the other stacks failed to shift out of the way, so I couldn't add it in.
    Another problem is that I can't see to remove apps from the dock. I have admin rights, and they are not active, hence the desire to get rid.
    Anyone have an idea??

    Erm... Doh! had dock 'locked' in Onyx...

  • Problem with S-raw from 1Ds mark III and Lightroom 2.5 (ACR 5.5)

    Hello,
    We develop over 100000 Raws per day using Lightroom 2.5 and a Canon 1 ds mark III. For the past six months we have been using the S-raw format for compatibility with our program Workflow. We’ve been having stability problems linked to luminosity, particularly differences in yellows, reds, oranges, and beiges.
    This artefact lightens the whole of the image, which gives us several light densities within the same image series.
    We’ve done several tests with photos shot in S-raw and JPEG simultaneously. The problem does not appear in the JPEGs, or in JPEGs generated by the S-raw format.
    This is why we have concluded that the problem comes from Lightroom’s calculation algorithm for S-raw. This hypothesis is confirmed as the problem is only in Lightroom 2.5 (we’ve tested 5 competing programmes and have not had the same problem).
    Ciao.

    Problems with Lightroom should be posted in the Lightroom forum.
    If you are having similar problems with some version of ACR, check the FAQ (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/311515?tstart=0) and provide more details, samples, etc... in a later post.
