I love the graduated filter and circular filter tools.

So useful. Both would be MUCH more useful if I could hold Alt and I would get a brush tool with to brush away effect in areas where I don't want it applied! Does that exist or am I dreaming?

Thanks, BKKDon, but I'm looking for this option to be available in Lightroom. The functionality usually trickles down from Photoshop CC, so I'm hoping it's on the way if it's not already there.
So, you need to realign your expectations a bit...now that Photoshop is a subscription only product, ACR can add new features when they are ready and not wait till the next major upgrade. Lightroom is still a perceptual license and as such can not get the new features and functionality that ACR gets until the next major upgrade. So, if it's in ACR now, it won't be in LR till the next major upgrade (such as LR 6).
However, there is a workaround....if you use ACR 8.5/6 to alter the radial or gradient filters by using the filter brush, if you save the metadata to the file after an ACR edit and then read the metadata in LR from the file, the filter brushes will render correctly. You won't be able to edit the filter brushes in LR 5.x but it will render them.

  • "Graduated Filter" tool in Aperture 3?

    I have been using Lightroom 2.7 for the past time, but want to give Aperture 3 a chance as well. My favorite and often used feature in Lightroom is the "graduated filter" tool that allows me to reduce the exposure selectively and in a graduated manner in blown out skies and other areas that are overexposed.
    In Aperture 3, I didn't find a similar tool. How do you deal with overexposed areas in your RAW images in Aperture 3? Is there such a thing like a "graduated filter" tool or are there other ways to selectively (and "quickly & dirtily") correct exposure in selected areas of your image?
    Thanks for any hints - this is the killer feature in Lightroom that is crucial for me.

    There are a few options which may provide you with satisfactory results. As mentioned you can Brush in effects to lighten or darken wherever you brush for example using the Dodge or Burn adjustments as appropriate. You may also get good results using the Exposure brick, specifically with the Recovery or *Black Point* sliders. Also the *Highlights & Shadows* brick may do the trick with the Advanced settings allowing you to only alter high tone, low tone or mid contrast ranges that you can define. Curves can also do magic in this area and may take some playing with but has the potential to be your new favourite ‘must have’ tool!

  • Has the width and colour of the graduated filter changed in Lightroom 5.4?

    Hi,
    Has the width and colour of the graduated filter changed in Lightroom 5.4? The 3 lines seem to be too narrow, almost a hairline, and not white enough. I can barely see them on a calibrated monitor and did not have that problem before upgrading to Lightroom 5.4.
    Thanks for your help.
    Kind regards,

    Ok, je vois où pourrait se situer le problème....
    Il faut baisser la luminosité de cet écran, le mieux est de mettre la luminosité à 50% et de calibrer cet écran avec une sonde, par exemple une Syder4pro ou une autre !
    OK, I see where could be the problem...Lower the brightness of the screen, the better is the brightness to 50% and to calibrate this monitor with a probe, for example a Syder4pro or another!
    Best regards

  • 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

  • The graduated filter in my Lightroom 4 is not working properly.

    When I highlight the area I want to change and start making adjustments (and the black dot is in the circle), the whole photo changes. I have used this tool successfully many times in the past and don't understand why it stopped working. Ideas?

    The black dot is in the circle that shows where the graduation filter is being used. When I use any of the sliders to change what I highlighted with the graduated filter, it changes the whole photo, not just what I selected.

  • Has anyone had problems using the Graduated Filter in Lightroom 4.1?

    I have Camera Raw 8.7.1 and I don't have camera raw filter or the radial filter tool.  Reading on line says it should be available?  I am confused... why do I not have these tools?

    Because you’re using CS6 not CC.

  • Resetting the Graduated Filter Panel's Color Palette...How To???

    After using the Graduated Filter Panel's color palette, I can't seem to reset it so that there is no color tint being applied.  All the other functions reset when I use Alt/double click but not the color function.  Can someone please let me know what I need to do?  I am currently using the 3.3RC version of LR.

    Thank you. Double clicking on "effect" worked.

  • Adjustment Brush Tool or Graduated Filter Tool in Camera Raw for Photoshop Elements 12?

    Is there an Adjustment Tool or Graduated Filter Tool in Camera Raw for Photoshop Elements 12?

    Those are Lightroom tools for those who don't want to use a regular pixel editor like Photoshop or Elements which have much more powerful tools to do that.
    The idea with the reduced set of feature in the ACR version of Elements is that features available in Elements are not necessary in ACR. You need to use the Elements editor more frequently than if you are working with Lightroom.

    - When you select the graduated filter, the menu expands. When you deselect the Graduated filter the menu rolls up.

    A year or so ago I had turned on a toolbar that sat at the top with the other toolbar, and had many tools for development and checking of websites. You could turn Java on/off, javascript on/off, turn on source view, and many other things. Now I cant find that toolbar. All that I can find now turns on a panel in the lower half of the window that probably does all the same stuff, but it takes up much more room. Where did that toolbar go? or was it an add-on or plug-in?

    It sounds like you may be referring to the Web Developer add-on.

  • Can I say one thing? The design of 3D is too confused!!! I know the drawing 3D and this new tools in Photoshop aren't simple, it's too difficult to understand

    Can I say one thing? The design of 3D is too confused!!! I know the drawing 3D and this new tools in Photoshop aren't simple, it's too difficult to understand

    Photoshop's GUI for the 3d functionality has always been a bit of a bust. And slow, cumbersome, hard to control. Rendering quality remains a major headache (and slow as a snail crawling through mud). Texturing is a hassle, and the 3d viewport one of the worst implementations I have ever encountered.
    Which is why I have always avoided it, and I prefer 3d applications such as Blender, Cinema4d, Max, Lightwave, and so on, for quality work. The 3d functionality in Photoshop is adequate for relatively simple 3d typography, and simple shapes. But even for that type of work I avoided Photoshop.
