Help with teeth whitening adjustment brush

I consider myself a LR newbie so excuse my ignorance! I was trying to learn the adjustment brush, specifically the teeth whitening one. Got it to work great on a photo, then tried it on another one. I have no idea what I did, but now it doesn't do anything when I use it. I'm afraid that maybe I changed the preset..?? Is there a way to get it back? I can see the mask when I apply the brush, it just doesn't make any changes.
This is how I attempt it:
I zoom into the teeth.
Click the adjustment brush and select the Effect: Teeth whitening
Adjust the size of my brush and 'paint' the teeth.
Nothing happens.
The first time I used it, I could see the teeth whiten wherever my brush stroke was.
Bottom line, I have no idea what I did to mess it up!
I'm using Windows 7 and LR4 4.1, and my files are in .dng format.
Thanks for your help!!

Brush settings are sticky with Last Brush Used and independent of the effect. If your effect is Teeth Whitening it is independent of Size, Feather, Flow, Automask, and Density.
You can set up a standard A Brush and a B Brush as well as a Standard Erasure but they will not remember the settings if you move them.
Flow- How much is applied per brush stroke
Density- How much of the total effect is allowed to accumulate with multiple brush strokes.
So, 100% of your effect is being applied 88% at a time with your previous flow. I normally run denisty at 100 and flow at around 33-50 so I can build up, feather etc.

Need help with the Vibrance adjustment in Photoshop CC 2014.

Need help with the Vibrance adjustment in Photoshop CC 2014.
Anytime I select Vibrance to adjust the color of an image. The whole image turns Pink in the highlights when the slider is moved from "0" to - or + in value. Can the Vibrance tool be reset to prevent this from happening? When this happens I cn not make adjustments...just turns Pink.
Thanks,
GD

Thank you for your reply.
Yes, that does reset to “0” and the Pink does disappear.
But as soon as I move the slider +1 or -1 or higher the image turns Pink in all of the highlights again, rather than adjusting the overall color.

Can you help with the moire adjustment tool in Camera Raw?

I have a file with a lot of moire on a child's dress and am having problems using camera raw moire adjustment tool.
I opened a jpeg file (not raw) in camera raw. When I use the moire adjustment brush - set to +100 - and click on the eyeglass tool in the window to see the effect - it shows a white overlay.
Clicking the preview button doesn't show up any difference.
I have saved several files as tests but the moire remains unaltered.
Any help appreciated. Or alternatively, suggestions on how to deal with Moire in Photoshop.
Thank you.

If possible deal with the moire issues up front. If you have original re-scan to see if you can reduce effect. If not do a web search for this. There are several tutorials listed such as http://photographylife.com/how-to-remove-moire-in-photoshop
Hope this helps.

Another CS4 user with a slow adjustment brush

New to CS4 and loving the idea of the adjustment brush and grad filter in ACR. However - and this is a big however - their incredibly slow speeds renders them next-to-useless for me. Gee whiz, how much processing speed do I need? I have Mac OS 10.4.11, 2.3 GHz w/ 4GB DDR2 SDRAM. This was more than adequate until now. Am I doing something wrong? Would it run faster if I converted from CR2 to DNG? I noticed that a lot of other people have this problem but I didn't come across any solutions offered up in the forums. They weren't running slow in the videos I watched on lynda.com.

This is not directly related, but I used to notice serious slow downs when using brush adjustments in Lightroom 2.4. I was on a PC with 2GB DDR1 RAM running Vista. I have several fast IDE hard disks in my system dividing OS/Data/Page file roles. I'm not sure what Lightroom uses for paging/swaping memory, but I don't think it's anything like Photoshop (you don't get to specify scratch file locations). I normally edit 15 Megapixel files and the brush local adjustments tool can get very slow and elastic in its response when I do a lot of fine brush additions. What I could notice is that Lightroom was taking up a lot of RAM at that point. I upgraded my DDR1 system to 3GB and the situation has improved but it was still easy to reach a point where it would slow down again as soon as the number of brush strokes mounted (Lightroom would be eating up approx 1.9GB RAM at that stage).
You mention that you have DDR2 on your system so I'm guessing you have the Power Mac that takes up to 16GB (8 slots x 2GB). I've no experience whatsoever with Mac OS, but if the OS+Program have no limitations in addressing RAM memory (Windows 32bit OS can see a maximum of 3.2GB RAM), then perhaps investing in additional RAM is not a bad idea. An extra 4GB DDR2 is affordable (unless you're restricted to using specific type of memory modules, I have no clue really), and is far faster than any hard disk swap/scratch file. Of course, that is assuming that the bottleneck is indeed the RAM memory.

Help with balance sheet adjustment log - sapf180p

Hi all,
Am trying to see the B/S adjustment log.
It doesn't recgonise any selection i make. It says nothing has been selected.
we haven't used this program to check the log so not sure if i am missing something.
There is an error in running sapf180a and because there is no spool list i have to use this program to see the log and see if i can get to what the problem is which is likely to be an error causing the abap error message bcd_ overfloww.... to come up.
Thanks.
Tonia

Hi,
You can view a log in F.5F only after you have executed the transaction F.5D and F.5E successfully. If you are having a problem running F.5D, then the problem could be something else. But the log will only appear after you have run F.5D and F.5E
Hope this helps

Need help with BC Blog adjustment

So I've added the blog feature to our website, built in Muse. However, I am trying to see if I can add some padding to the left and right of the blog area itself. Here's what it looks like now: http://www.martellaprinting.com/martella-printing-blog
I would like about 40px padding on both the left and right sides so that the text does not butt up to either side. I have filled the HTML code box with white so that as the blog content expands downward it looks consistent, and it will always touch the bottom. I know an option would be to give the fill in Muse a white color, but I prefer not to do this in Muse because of the way the background artwork has been set up in the Master template in Muse. If I do this, parts of the header and area where the slideshow are get filled with white. I mean, it's do-able and I would prefer the blog content itself be up against the white background instead of the laid-texture that runs throughtout the website.

Ok, I figured out a workaround in Muse. Here is the new blog page: http://www.martellaprinting.com/martella-printing-blog

Strange behavior of LR3 local adjustment brush

Lately, it seems that LR3 (Mac) is acting strange when doing local adjustments. When using the adjustment's brush, the area being "painted on", i.e., adjustments, a square area centered on the cursor position is shaded a bit darker than the area not covered by the brush. What gives?

I have had similar problems with 3.2 and also (while doing local adjustments)
- rectangular areas of the image suddenly duplicated elsewhere in the image
- whole image flipped upside down while painting with the local adjustment brush
Using Undo always put back the image in a normal state (the state it was before starting to apply the last local adjustment).
I have not seen this in 3.3 (final release) until now but I didn't use it much since it has been made available.
NB: (before someone asks) Yes, I do have the latest NVidia driver installed.

Invert ACR Adjustment Brush Mask?

Is it possible to invert a mask created with the ACR adjustment brush?
I want to make an adjustment to everything except what I paint with the adjustment brush (with auto mask turned on). I know how to invert a selection in Photoshop, but don't know if it is possible in ACR. I'm using ACR version 8.2. on W7

Jeff, Thank you for the clarification. Hopefully Adobe will add the functionality some day. Theoretically, I'd prefer to do most of my lighting adjustments in ACR for a number of reasons, but the ACR tools seem generally less polished than Photoshop. The ACR Adjustment Brush in auto mode seems easier to use than the Photoshop selection tools like the Quick Selection Tool, but not being able to invert is a significant handicap.

Help with Adjustment brush

Hi All,
I have upgraded LR2 to 2.1. Now I can't use the adjustment brush. When i click on the photo to make an adjustment - nothing happens; not white dot, no change, no nothing. HELP! What am I doing wrong? The gradient filter works just fine.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Al

Albert - if you haven't already, after clicking on the brush tick the small box underneath it to open a drop-down list. At the bottom of this list is another box alongside the word 'Colour' (or color if you're American :-) ). Click or double click on this box to bring up the colour pallet and using the ey-dropper pick a crazy colour such as a deep red. Now try painting with the bush. If you didn't notice the effects before it may be because the chosen colour was way at the bottom of the colour pallet giving you a neutral grey (gray) which is sometimes hard to spot.

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???

You have switched the overlay mask to always show. Fortunately, it's easy fixed i.e. tap the O key. Shift+O will cycle the overlay through various colours

Open Adjustment Brush - K
Open Gradient Tool - M
Show/hide Pin - H
Always Show - Shift + Cmd/Ctrl+H
Show Selected/Never Show - Shift+H
To increase Amount - Right Arrow
To decrease Amount - Left Arrow
To increase/decrease brush size - ] / [
To increase/decrease feather - Shift+] / Shift+[
Set Flow Amount - Number Keys
To commit and/or start new a brush stroke or gradient - Enter / Return
To delete the selected pin - Delete
Holding down - Alt/Option key activates erase mode
Toggle Auto Mask On/Off - A
Pressing O toggles on/off the overlay
Shift+O cylces through alternative colours for overlay
To constrain gradient to vertical/horizontal - hold down Shift plus drag
To invert the gradient - '
To scale from center - Alt/Option plus drag

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.

Need help with adjustment brush in LR3.6, Windows 7

I have a couple questions regarding adjustment brushes in LR 3.6 which I either can't find the answer for or the answer isn't working for me.
1. I recently found out there should be Iris Enhance, Skin Soften, etc. brushes in the presets. I can't find them under the adjustment brush. I've tried going to Edit->Preferences->Presets->Restore Local Adjustment Presets as several others have suggested but it doesn't appear to do anything. I have found these files where I've read they're supposed to be (../AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom/Local Adjustment Presets) but I can't find them in LR unless they're somewhere other than the Adjustment Brush panel.
2. Also, 'O' turns the mask overlay on and off as it should. I have 'on' set to red but for some reason 'off' is set to blue and I have to desaturate it everytime I turn off the overlay mask. How do I change the "off" state to be no color?
Thanks.

I know off is supposed to be no color but for some reason it's a faded blue color. The little rectangle next to color that's supposed to have a sort of 'X' from the corners isn't gray, like it's supposed to be, but blue.
As far as I know, I only have 1 catalog. I went to Edit->Preferences->Presets and I do not have "store presets with catalog" checked. I checked it and have now found the presets I asked about. Thanks much.
Still can't figure out the mask overlay thing and it's really annoying to have to keep turning it off.

New to the Adjustment Brush Tool...HELP!

Hello! I am fairly new to Lightroom, and the Adjustment Brush tool specifically, and I am having some problems with it! I have watched tons of tutorials on using it, and it seems relatively easy...although when I go into my program and attempt to use it, nothing happens to my photo...say if I wanted to adjust the exposure on the face of an individual, I will go in and select the tool, decrease the exposure, make the brush and feather the size I want it, and when I go to "paint" the area I want altered, nothing happens? The pins appear as if to show me that's where I started, but then no change happens to the area I attempted to paint. Do I need to select something somewhere to be able to actually use the brush to paint? Any help is appreciated!! Thank you!!

First, verify that you have painted something. At the bottom is an option that says "Show Selected Mask Overlay", enable this. It will show the area you have painted so far.
If you see pink appear, this is where you have painted so far. Try changing your adjustments more drastically (i.e. move sliders all the way one direction or another). If you see the effect appear, dial things back until you have what you want.
If you do not see pink appear, make sure your Flow and Density sliders are up. This act like opacity, so if they are too low, you aren't laying down much "paint" with your brush.

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!

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.

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.
