Graduated filter and Adjustment brush always use "last used effect"

In my workfow I mostly use opposite effects in the Graduated filter and Adjustment brush.
Lightroom maintains "least used effect" even when changing tools.
Is it possible that each tool retains its last used effect?
In my workflow I mostly use opposite effects when using Adjustment brush en gradient filter. Changing the effects wastes a lot of time when editing hundreds of images.

I agree that it would be nice if the individual tools remembered their own last used preset.
Unfortunately LR does not work that way.

  • The Graduated Filter and Adjustment Brush in Lightroom 4 | The Complete Picture with Julieanne Kost | Adobe TV

    In this episode of The Complete Picture, discover the power of making selective adjustments like dodging and burning, color corrections and noise removal using the Graduated Filter and Adjustment Brush in Lightroom 4. Note: although this video was recorded in Lightroom, the same techniques are available in Adobe Camera Raw in Photoshop CS6.

  • Whites slider not in graduated filter and adjustment brush in ACR 7

    the whites option is missing from the graduated filter and adjustment brush

    The Exposure slider adjusts your white point, as it did in ACR6

  • Noise reduction function built into built into graduated filter and adjustments brush!

    Really useful functionality, but maybe the tool name shout be "Noise reduction" rather than "noise" for the graduated filter and adjustments brush.  If I understand it correctly, the way all the sliders work now is that that movement to the left decreases the function of the slider, and to the right increases the function - if that is the case, then by labelling the slider "noise" would suggest that moving to the right is increasing the noise when in fact it is the reverse!

    The explanation is that "noise reduction" doesn't fit the available space in all languages.

  • Increments Of 100 With Grad Filter and Adj Brush Using Scroll Wheel and Arrows

    For Vista 64 bit and Nvidia GeForce 8500 GT driver version 7.15.11.6960,
    both the graduated filter and adjustment brush change at increments of 100 or 200 using the scroll wheel or arrows for everything except exposure. Brightness goes from -200 to 0 to 200 while the others go from -100 to 0 to 100.

    Seen that as well. Keyboard focus has been an issue for me on Vista x64 OS for quite sometime.Sometimes the arrows don't move in even increments on all the sliders for various adjustments.
    In this case the arrow keys move either side of 0 to the maximum exent of the range. In this case brightness has a range of + or - 200 while the other sliders move = or - 100

  • Will LR get the new brush feature added to the graduated filter and radial filter like the latest version of Camera raw?

    Will LR get the new brush feature added to the graduated filter and radial filter like the latest version of Camera raw?

    OK, at least I can look forward to it and use Photoshop & CR instead of LR for these filters until then.
    Thanks

  • Lightroom 4 - Spot removal and adjustment brush issues

    In Lightroom 4, my spot removal and adjustment brush tools will not work on all areas of photos (in particular faces and the center of photos). The cursor seems to show the tool only on the outside portions of the photo.  Any suggestions?

    I have seen this a couple time and a restart of Lr has always fixed it.  It seems like there is some kine of dialog box waiting for input "hidden" behind Lr as it its not there if you minimize Lr.  This has been reported many times for a LONG time so it is probably one of the Lr bugs that is not getting fixed.  To be fair to Adobe, if someone could reproduce this problem it might get fixed but it seems to be pretty obscure.  BTW, I think Ihave seen reports of it in Lr5 also so hopefully it will get fixed in Lr 6

  • Can't apply Graduated Filter and Radial Filter in LR5 (photo becomes grey box)

    Hi,
    I am using the Lightroom 5, every functions are working fine, except the Graduated Filter and Radial Filter casuing me a problem.
    When I click on the Graduated Filter / Radial Filter button, and trying to apply the filter (i.e. draw the eclipse) on my photo, my photo in the central pane immediately turns grey, as per below screenshot.
    I have to click the Library Module and then click Develop Module in order to get back the photo showing in the central pane, but the same problem appears if I tried to use the Graduated and Radial Filters.
    Anybody knows the root cause and solution ? Please kindly help. Thank you !

    The easiest thing should be to simply apply the preset to an image, then choose to Update with Current Settings and make sure Graduated Filter is unchecked. Move through all of your presets like this.
    I don't know how many suspect presets you have to go through, but you can also manually edit them with a simple text editor to remove the Graduated filter. If you right-click on the preset, you can show in Explorer/Finder. Open the file in Notepad/TextEdit and simply remove the GradientBasedCorrections section (this has many sub-fields, most of which start with "Local"). Save the file and move on to the next.

  • 2.1 and Adjustment Brush Prob Return

    Ironically, after having fixed adjustment brush lag and slider sluggishness by maximizing performance in the Nvidia 3d settings, installing 2.1 has caused the problem to return.
    The problem was completely resolved before. I could rapidly paint large areas of D300 images with repeated strokes, or with one extended very rapid uninterrupted stroke back and forth across an area stretching from side to side and representing about one third of the screen.
    Before upgrading there was absolutely no lag or subsequent sluggishness in the amount slider no matter how hard I tried to induce it. Now, the slider sluggishness is as bad as before.
    I have tested this by resetting half a dozen of the same images that I worked the brush on prior to the upgrade to RC 2.1 and performing the same actions with the brush as described above. I have 2.0 installed on the other side of my dual boot windows Intel 9550 Quad and there is no lag on that side with the same images and adjustment brush use described above.
    There is no doubt that the problem is back.
    Has anyone who had 2.0 adjustment brush problems tested 2.1 yet?

    LR2.1 not stable for me. XPS630, 4G, XP Pro, nVidia 8600,
    LR 2 worked fine.
    Adjustment brush (using Wacom or mouse) doesn't lift reliably and leaves streaks.
    Brush at times will activate zoom instead of painting an adjustment.
    Brush won't stop editing session - can't start new brush - no edit control point for previous adjustment brushes
    Have restarted LR2.1 numerous times, rebooted, etc.
    I'm going back to 2.0 tomorrow.

  • First experiences with LR 5.0: manual file selection and  Adjustment Brush

    I must admit that I have not fiddled too long with LR 5.0. The reason is quite simple: its extreme slowness, even in comparison with 4.4, which is far from being fast. After slightly retouching some 40 images I fell back to 4.4 and finished testing 5.5 for a while. Anyway, in addition to the speed problem I have collected some - also not too promising - experiences:
    After initially retouching the first image I wanted to copy some of its settings into the rest of the photos. Before clicking on the Sync button I had to select all the target files. Probably because of the relatively small number of images, instead of going to the "Edit / Select All" function I used "Shift+Right Arrow" for the selection. LR simply crashed...
    In several cases I was not able to re-open and modify formerly 'adjustment-brushed' areas. When I moved the cursor above the relevant white 'knob-shaped' mark, nothing happened. The cursor did not even change to hand form, so the "Effect" panel remained dark and the formerly set parameters did not come up. As I kept the cursor there for ages and the image was not 'over-adjusted' (as also indicated by the small size of the associated XMP file), this failure was surely not a result of the above-referred slowness.
    Once I selected an already retouched image, with the Adjustment Brush tool open. The existing adjustment mark came up over a formerly brushed area. Then, without doing anything with the open image, I moved to the next picture. To my surprise, the Adjustment Brush marks of both photos appeared on the last opened image - the one, which belonged to the previous picture and another, associated with the second picture. It goes without saying that I was not able to click on any of the Adjustment Brush marks. Closing and re-opening the Adjustment Brush tool did not help, so I had to restart LR.

  • Accept/Reject changes and Adjustment Brush Buttons have disappeared

    The buttons that appear at the bottom of the Development Panel when using the Adjustment Brush, Crop Tool, GND Filter, etc., have STOPPED appearing on my version.  I can accept the changes by clicking on the Brush, ND filter, etc, but have no way to reject the changes other than going back in the history.  Also, the button that shows the Adjustment Brush as a "painted" area has disappeared with the rest, and so I can never specifically see the area I'm attempting to work on.  I thought perhaps I did something that hid or disabled these buttons, but I cannot find any such action.  Any ideas on this?  Thanks for any help. 

    While you're in the Adjustment Brush, hit the T key.

  • Adjustment brush always showing pink mask instead of adjustment

    When I first installed LR2 the adjustment brush worked great. Now when I use it, it always shows the pink mask and not the adjustment. If I press enter the adjustment is made but I can't change or adjust it. Is there a settings reset or do I have something setup wrong? I have tried reinstalling LR2 using repair and it didn't help. Any help and advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Allen

    O is the keyboard shortcut for toggling the overlay on/off. If you press the Shift key at the same time you can cycle through alternatives (red, green, white, black).

  • Issue with Clone Tool and Adjustment Brush in LR5.3

    If I export a .TIFF from LR5.3 in which I've used the Clone Tool or Adjustment Brush Tool and then load the .TIFF up in Photoshop CS2 to perform further edits, I can't save the file to a .JPG - I get a '...program error...' message during the save.  If I turn off the tool and export the file from LR5 again, I can do the edits in Photoshop and save it as a .jpg.  The same thing will happen in Capture NX2 trying to save the LR5 exported .TIFF to .JPG.    Has anyone else experienced this and are there any workarounds?

    ***UPDATE*** 3/7/14
    Apparently no one has experienced the issue as I posted above, but in case anyone is interested, I have discovered a workaround.  For some reason, the issue manifests itself when I export the TIFF with the option 'Metadata - Include All Metadata'.  If I change the Metadata option to the 'Copyright Only' or 'Copyright & Contact Info Only' I am able to open the TIFF in Photoshop, make edits as needed, and then save as a JPG.  Apparently LR5 is doing something weird with the Metadata file header that Photoshop and Capture NX2 doesn't like under certain circumstances. 

  • Name gradients and adjustment brushes

    Is there a chance we will get the possibility to give each adjustment brush and gradients a name?
    The way it is now it is pretty confusing when using more than one.
    Like:
    Gradient1: Horizon
    Gradient2: Colour
    Adjustment Brush1: Eyes
    Adjustment Brush2: Teeth
    ect....
    TIA

    Just wanted to quote John Miller from this link
    It had never even occurred to me to be able to name the pins! BRILLIANT! And SO easy to implement!
    Adobe, I can't think of a reason why at least this aspect couldn't make it into LR4 Final. Particularly since we have to do so much layering and stacking of different adjustment brushes and gradients to accomplish what we really want to with this tool. The ability to label these adjustments for future reference would really help.
    I find it shocking that something so obvious isn't even taken into consideration by Adobe officials (not to mention any kind of response to this). :-(

  • Every time I try to add add'l pix, it has to remove all existing and re-sync (always use same computer)

    Each time I want to add more pictures to my library, it deletes all existing and re-loads (during syncing).  I always use the same computer, never plugged my ipad into any other computer.  I also get error messages sometimes when I am trying to download new songs (via computer) and it has given me an error message saying that the computer is not the 'designated' computer (but it is and always has been.).

    Holy Smoke!!!   ...and it was JUST that easy.
    Spent HOURS trying to resolve.
    thank you, THANK you, thank YOU!!!
