Help! Lightroom 3 Color Swatch for Adjustment Brush has Disappeared!

I selected the Adjustment Brush and then click on the color swatch icon. I remember changing the value to 0. Then the color swatch icon just disappeared.I've tried reseting everything in the adjustment brush settings but the color swatch icon is still gone. In addition to that, If I click on the Adjustment Brush to activate it and the click anywhere on the photo, the entire photo disappears. Has anyone had this problem? Do you know how to fix this issue? Thanks.

I also tried restarting Ligtroom 3. That did not help. I tried rebooting my computer. That did not help, either.

  • Lightroom 5 Adjustment Brush has disappeared, just the cursor shows. I have no idea what size I'm using. Just happened for no reason. Looked in the Pref and nothing there to adjust etc.

    Just using the adjustment brush in Lightroom 5 on an image and suddenly the brush circles vanished lmao!!!!!! Can't find anywhere to get back, thought maybe I had touched a button by accident turning it off or something. All I get is the mouse cursor although I can use the brush but I have no idea how big the brush is or where the hell the brush is being used! Tried closing the Application and relaunching as you do and nothing changes, still no brush.

    Do any fonts work or show up at all in any application?
    Have you installed any new Fonts or Adobe/MS Apps?
    See if you can run Font Book in Applications, verify Fonts & check for duplicates.

    First try resetting the tool by clicking the tiny arrow at the far left end of the options bar and choosing reset tool.
    But you should be able to use the arrow keys to navigate through the fonts, too.

    Since upgrading to Keynote 6.1, the slider on the left in navigation mode, for slide scrolling has disappeared! Any clues?

    The scroll bars only appear if there are items hidden from view because of the window size, the scroll bars are fully functioning in all Keynote versions.

  • HELP! Lightroom Crashes Only with Adjustment Brush and only when using HDMI output!

    This is very frustrating. I use my Acer N56V laptop to teach Lightroom workshops. I use a 32 inch television as a display. When I have my laptop attached with an HDMI cable and try to use Lightroom's adjustment brush, it crashes. Either the screen and computer just shuts down or I get the Blue Screen of Death. I can do anything else! I can edit in Photoshop, do anything else in Lightroom or even Silver EFX Pro. I can even click on the adjustment brush. But the minute the brush hits the photo (and not before), the computer crashes. If I don't have it attached to the HDMI or if I use a Serial cable, no issues. It's only the adjustment brush and only the HDMI output.
    I called Adobe and they said it was because my onboard video card was primary and not the Nvidia. I called Acer and they said it's auto detect. I also tried making the Nvidia card primary and it still happened. Any ideas???

  • Lightroom 4 adjustment brush has little effect

    I am using Lightroom 4 because my Mac is on OSX 10.6.8. As I use it today I'm seeing that the adjustment brush is having little effect. I'm trying to bring areas in shadow up a bit, but there's almost no change. The images shows what should be creating a substantial adjustment and it's almost invisible. Even retroactively sliding the exposure control fully up does just about nothing. Similar lack of effectiveness with other controls, like Contrast. The images are DNG converted/imported from NEF (Nikon D7000) by Lightroom.  I have reset, relaunched and restarted. Suggestions?

    Yes, thank you. I actually figured it out and was having difficulty deleting my post. Thanks again.

  • Lost mask option button for adjustment brush

    I am not well up on the correct lingo so bare with me please.
    When using adjustment brush and Crop tool a bar used to appear under the photo giving me the option of seeing the overlay filter of where i had burned in or dodged.
    it also appeared for the 'Done' option when cropping.
    This bar has disspapeared from my screen and i can no longer see how much and what areas i have effected with the adjustment tool.
    how do i get this option back on my screen?
    this is lightroom 3.5 by the way

    So simple! Many thanks.

  • Printing color Swatches for printer profiling in Photoshop

    This is the crime scene:
    I have two printers, a 9800 and a 9880. I want to profile them both with the i1 PRO and EYE-One Match Software. Half of the archive is in Kodachrome Slides scanned into Adobe RGB (a while ago); RAW files worked in ProPhoto. ALL we use is premium luster 260.
    I want to print the color swatches and dont know what option to chose in photoshop to print them: Let Printer Manage Colors, or, on the other side, select "Let Photoshop Manage colors" and Adobe RGB as profile and create a printer Profile that I will use to print the Adobe RGB slide images; and print the swatches again with "let photoshop..." and Prophoto as profile and use the created with those swatches to print the RAW Prophoto images.
    or else.
    Thanks so much for your time and help!

    You need to choose the "No Color Management" option in the first print dialog and then in the Epson portion, you need to choose your paper type under Paper Settings and then choose No Color Adjustment in very next dialog box. That way you are sending pure unadulterated RGB to the printer.

  • Wrong Mouse Pointer for Adjustment Brush with Image on External Drive

    Adjustment brush guide "circles" is not visible when hovering over the image. It is only visible when you are to the side of the image in the gray space. This only happens when I am using Lightroom from my external drive. It does not happen from the local copy.

    After some research, the brush preset I created happened to have the same settings as "skin smooth +" in Lightroom, which is the one it kept switching to.  Perhaps that was the problem...

  • White Balance pipette request for adjustment brushes

    Just a suggestion in the hope that this gets introduced..
    could we have the white balance sample pipette on the adjustment brush so that it is even easier to apply localised colour correction?
    Cheers
    Scot

    I imagine sample white balance from an image means the same for localised adjustment brushes as it does when using the white balance pipette in the Basic panel.
    click the white balance pipette or shortcut key W... move the pipette over an area you expect to be colour neutral, click and voila.. (Temp & Tint sliders adjusted to a neutral balance)
    at least that is what I would hope to happen

  • Camera Raw 5.5 adjustment brush has no effect.

    I get the error message: "Unable to create local adjustment. All the local adjustment controls are set to have no effect in image." After successfully using the adjustment brush in several places in one image , I clicked "Clear All." Now when I try to use the brush again in the same file or another file I get the error message. How can I make the adjustment brush active? I use a 867 Power Mac G4 with Photoshop CS4.

    Works fine for me It could just be that you are using a G4 which is rather underpowered for CS4 and not a recommended computer.

  • Camera RAW adjustment brush has no effect

    I'm using Photoshop CS4 on my MacPro and the adjustment brush in ACR has no effect. I deleted the preferences file with no result. I have a copy of PS CS5 beta and the adjustment brush works quite well. I'm not using the beta on production jobs until it's released. Suggestions, please. Thank you.

  • Can I Move the Anchor Point for Adjustment Brush in ACR CS5

    It's never been a problem before, but the anchor point for the Adjustment Brush in ACR is sitting exactly where I need to see what is happening.  I can delete and start again, but if there is way to move or hide the anchor point while stil being able to adjust the setting, it would be handy to know for next time it happens.

  • BUG!  lightroom 3.4.1 Adjustment Brush Doesn't Show It's "Button" Anymore

    Adjustment Brush Doesn't Show It's "Button" Anymore:
    I installed the update for 3.4.1 and warm re-booted my computer.
    The button that you saw after painting (releasing the mouse button), is no longer there.
    There is nothing to hover over to see what area you painted and if you Close the brush, and reopen it, the button does not appear.
    HALP!

    Disregard my second message about not understanding your email reply.
    I thought I had to hit "H" to see a link -on the email- to confirm my registration.
    I didn't realize it was your answer.
    Since I had just installed my 3.4.1 update and the default on my installed version of LR, and since my 'pins' have never been hidden, the 3.4.1 default of hiding the pins was a problem and is likely to fool a lot of users that hadn't read about hiding those pins yet.  Shouldn't the installation of -any- new version, pick up the defaults currently in LR?  That is an issue.
    We're good now.
    Thanks for the response.
