LR 3.3 still hasn't fixed the HSL adjustment tool lag problem

Dragging the adjustment tool up and down the photo has minimal effect on sliders. Problem not present in 3.0.

Hi,

Yes, it's a known bug. Hopefully will be fixed in 3.3 final.
As its name implies, a Release Candidate version is supposed to fix all known bugs reported before the RC was made available (with exception of those bugs that the development team have announced they cannot reproduce or cannot fix for such or such reason). So this is the version that is supposed to be final and delivered to the users if nobody reports any new problem. In other words, when a development team delivers a RC version, they are telling us: "Ok, we think we have fixed all the pending bugs and problems with exception of these [...] which we cannot fix or reproduce. Please check.".
If a RC version still contains "well known bugs" not advertised as "unfixable", it's not a RC, it's a beta. A beta version does contain bugs that are not fixed and is normally advertised as such. It's just a milestone on the way to the final version that will be considered as "stable". So it's not surprising to find bugs in a beta version, but if a "well known bug" (I mean reported to the support and acknowledged by them) has not been fixed in a RC version, you can reasonably expect that it will still be there in the final version.
From the experience we had with LR 1 and LR2, it seems that they need at least 2 or 3 beta versions after the initial release of a new major version until they reach a state where the software can be considered as stable and usable (bug free is not an option - there's no such thing as a bug free software). That's the way the software industry is working nowadays. Quality Assurance has been partly delegated to the users. While I admit that the QA Dpt. cannot test the many possible user configurations, I'm bothered by the fact that the number of "persistent" bugs in many software keeps growing. Problems reported years ago stay there and nobody cares. This is not an Adobe specific problem. We can observe this behavior with almost all major software companies.

Lost the HSL and colour Adjustment tool bar

I seem to have lost the HSL and Colour adjustment tool bar on the drop down on the right hand side of the screen.
Can anybody help?
thanks!!

1. Right Click (Cmd-Click) on one of the other headings in the Develop Panel (Basic, Tone Curve etc).
2. This will bring up a selection menu of which items you want to be visible.
3. Re-select "Adjustments" and the HSL/Color/ B&W should reappear.

Beginner Question- Unable to Use Eyedropper and Targeted Adjustment Tools

When trying to use the eyedropper or targeted adjustment tools (in the HSL menu), I will grab the tool and hover over my photo and my cursor changes to the magnifying glass. When using the eyedropper the preview will reflect the white balance but when I click my photo is enlarged instead of using the tool. Help please! I know there must be a simple answer, I am just a first time user of Lightroom (previously used Bridge/Camera RAW) and am getting very frustrated. Many thanks

Yes. I've seen the same glitch occur on Mac. Not sure what is happening, but I agree, it is maddening. I stumbled upon a solution that works for me:
Press the Q key (cursor changes to the Healing Brush)
Press the W key (should now change to Eyedropper-White Balance tool)
Now the Eyedropper may work again.
I know right? Doesn't make sense, but whatever has happened to cause the Eyedropper to not work but instead bring up the Magnify tool, this sequence seems to bump it out of the glitch -- at least it's working for me.
Hope that helps.

Target adjustment tool Menu does not appear

Hello
I use ACR 7.1 and I have a problem with this tool : when I clic on this icon on the top tools bar I have no menu I should get a menu with parametric curves hue saturation luminance but nothing. Of course I could use the HSL part on the right interface but I would like to know why my ACR behaviour is not has it should be.Thanks

Thanks for answer but it is not what i meant: what I said is I have no dropdown menu when I clic on Target adjustment tool icon
Uh huh...didn't I mention the fact that by default when you click on TAT you get Parametric Curves by defatult (and no, it doesn't change to the the panel, by design). If you want HSL or Grayscale you need to click on the panel to switch from curves...
You would be better off learning the actual behavior...

Targeted Adjustment Tool in Camera Raw 5.2

Thanks Tom for the Targeted Adjustment Tool it works great.
Where can I find documentation on the SNAPSHOT function?

The keyboard shortcuts are:
Cmd-Option-Shift T switches to parametric curve TAT
Cmd-Option-Shift H switches to Hue TAT
Cmd-Option-Shift S switches to Saturation TAT
Cmd-Option-Shift L switches to Luminance TAT
Cmd-Option-Shift G switches to Grayscale mixer TAT
If youre on Windows, replace Cmd with Control and Option with Alt.
Click on the TAT tool and unless you are specifically got the HSL/Grayscale panel open, the default TAT will be Parametric Curves. Click in an area in the image with TAT the active tool and whatever the targets tonality will go up/down depending on whether you move the morse up/down.
Switch to HSL panel and the target will be whatever sub-panel is active: Hue, Saturation or Lightness. The TAT works the same what in HSL, click in the image and drag up/down to adjust the targeted color.
Other than that, it's practice...
Oh, and it'll be covered in depth in RWCRCS4 (which is why it's late...so i could be sure of including the Camera Raw 5.2 update throughout the book).

Adjustment tools in Camera Raw not working

Downloaded CS 5 and opened Camera Raw, then attempted to use the adjustment tool and received the following message "Unable to create local adjustment. All the local adjustment controls are set to have no effect on the image." Can anyone provide assistance please and thanks?

I had the same problem and tried turning of GPU in Photoshop and in Lightroom which did not work, however in the RAW window when I found the preferences tab which is the tab with the 3 horizontal lines and unchecked GPU there Camera Raw did start working and the blue screen was replaced by my image. Hope this clarifies it more and you get yours to wok also!

Reduced range of adjustment tool options on some images

Hi. I've noticed that some of my images (both raw - CR2 - and jpg) don't get the full range of options on the adjustment tools, while other images do. e.g. no temp settings, highlights, shadows, etc etc. Using Lightroom 5 and WIndows 7. I think it must have to do with some technical setting on the images but I wouldn't know where to start figuring out what those would be.
My limited range on the adjustment brush:
Thanks!

Many users will wish to leave their images as edited in previous versions of LR. However the highlights and shadows sliders are more effective than the old fill light and recovery sliders and there may be instances where you wish to re-edit older photos using PV 2012. There is a small icon (click image below) under the histogram in Develop for images processed using PV 2010 and clicking it gives the option to update. Adobe recommends updating images on an individual basis to begin with but you can also select all filmstrip items. So you can use the camera calibration tab or simply click the histogram icon.

Local white balance adjustment tool

I really like the new local white balance adjustment tool. If I could change something will be to give a real color temperature to the tool instead of a number from -100 to 100. Let me give you an example of how I used it today.
I forgot to bring some gels for my flashes for a photo shoot. I was using the flashes to illuminate the foreground and I had fluorescent lightening on the background. It was the perfect opportunity to try the new tool. I knew exactly what the color temperature for both front and back were. I applied the background color temperature of 3200k to the picture and when to locally change the foreground. At this point I was guessing what it should be at. My monitor is color calibrated but I was under fluorescent lights with my laptop. Instead I could have added +2200k or dialed 5500k to the local adjustment tool.
Please let me know if you need more information.

I'm sorry I found another discussion about this topic already. Shame on me I didn't do a more thorough search on it before.
You can find that discussion here

Unable to Use Adjust Tool or Effects Tool

I'm using iPhoto 7.1.5. On my MacBook Pro, when I go into edit mode and click on either the Adjust tool or the Effects tool, nothing happens. No windows open to allow me to edit with these tools. The other tools (red eye, enhance, retouch, crop) work just fine.
I've tried trashing the plist file for iPhoto and also tried logging in as a different user, but the problem persists. Any help would be most appreciated!

Before you re-install:
Start with the troubleshooting basics:
1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
2. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.
As a rule, no, re-installing the app will not affect the Library.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applcations Folder to the trash)
2. Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only...’

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.

(BUG with) - Targeted Adjustment Tool

The Targeted Adjustment tool will stop functioning after I use the magnifier.
When I attempt to use the tool, it only functions as a magnify glass.
When I quit Lightroom and relaunch it, it restores the Targeted Adjustment tool back to a functioning state.
One thing that may be triggering the bug is that I often use the photoshop keyboard commands for magnify +/- out of my 15 year habit with that tool, and it works in Lightroom too, but is this causing the Targeted Adjustment tool to suffer?

I think I also see this now (and a work-around).
I did the following:
1. Open Lightroom and go to Develop.
2. Select the Target Adjustment Tool (like tone curve).
3. Press (and hold) Spacebar, while holding that down, press (and hold) command
4. Click to zoom in.
5. Release the spacebar, then release the command. The cursor still shows a hand with the move-around and zoom functionality. Clicking the Target Adjustment circle in the Tone Curve box does not restore adjustment functionality.
Workaround:
6. Now press (and release) Spacebar. The target adjustment works now.
It appears that Lightroom does not recognize any spacebar commands while the command key is being held down. I can't enter zoom mode by holding command and then holding spacebar, and I can't exit zoom mode by releasing spacebar while command is down. In this case, it seems that pressing and releasing spacebar afterwards (when command is not down) sends the "spacebar-up" command and Lightroom gets out of the zoom mode.
Note that I can't get this to happen with any other ordering of presses/releases.
Does this help? I agree that this definitely is a bug. Now that we've narrowed it down, how do we forward this on to Adobe? Is someone reading this that can forward this on?

ACR 5.2 Targeted Adjustment Tool has no drop down menu

Hello
I've just started playing with Camera Raw 5.2 and I cannot get a drop down menu for the targeted adjustment tool. When I click on it the icon remains "depressed" and I enter the tone mode. In order to get to the other modes, I have to move to the appropriate tab.
I guess I could use the key board short-cuts but I would like to know why I don't get a drop down menu.
Geoffrey Pocock

How amazingly simple - just a bit strange as drop-down menus usually appear on a single click - thank you very much

Targeted Adjustment Tool

I'm new to PS, so please bear with me. When I click on the targed adjustment tool (in hue/saturation adjustment layer) and then try and click on something, for ex. teeth, everything disappears and the cursor goes to the bottom right corner (show desktop). When I slide the cursor back up everything comes back up when I try and do it again the same thing happens. I've tried multiple times and just can't seem to get it to work. Any ideas?

Here's a suggestion that might help. Give the mouse a rest and use keyboard shortcuts.
In the Develop module use the Z key to toggle your zoom view. Then use shortcuts to enable/disable a TAT tool (e.g. Ctrl+Shift+Alt+S to enable the saturation TAT and Ctrl+Shift+Alt+N to disable TAT). While a targeted adjustment tool is active the Z key can be used to zoom.
Also, when a TAT is active hit the space bar to temporarily change the TAT into the zoom tool.

No...the error message: 'couldnt complete your request because of a program error' is an indication that your Photoshop preferences are hosed...reset the prefs.
