Is it possible to move the adjustment brush dot?

A lot of times i find the adjustment brush dot to be in my way when judging the result.
Say i zoom in and brighten up the eye on a model.
Then I want to zoom out to se what it looks like and the dot covers half the face of the model.
Of course i can click the adjustment brush again in order to go out of the adjustment brush tool but then i cant adjust settings at the same time.
I can also hide the dots but that's not really what I want to do as I'm shifting between them making different fine adjustment.
I don't mind the dots when judging the picture but I just don't want it in say, the middle of the eye.
The workaround I'm using is to get a new adjustment brush, set the flow to lowest value, click where I want the dot (usually at the same height as the eye but outside the model), then i pull flow up again and paint on the eye.
Is it possible to get the same result as I want without having to do my workaround using the flow setting?

It's not possible to move it and your workaround seems like a lot of work, especially when all you need do is hit the H key to hide then again to make visible. Also, it's not clear to me why hiding the pin doesn't solve your problem.

  • Is it possible to move the brush overlay that you have synced to a new photo?

    Lets say you use the adjustment brush and highlight only the subject of the photo to brighten it up and make adjustments. Then the next photo you have is almost identical, except it is framed a little differently. So, when you sync the settings from the previous photo to this new photo (including the brush adjustments), the overlay mask will mimic the previous photo and will not line up with the subject in the new photo. Thus, my question is, is it possible to move the overlay mask in the new photo after the sync so that it can match precisely over the subject?

    No.

  • Is it possible to set the performance in Camera Raw, like in PS? I have problems with the performance of the adjustment brush. It is a very bad workflow.

    Had you specified you're on Windows, I wouldn't even have replied. I don't do windows.
    Yes, it has been a waste of time for both you and me.
    You don't even know how to ask a question properly and you want me to read the FAQs?  Hah! 
    No one will take your word for "ACR latest version", and "PS CC latest VersionVersion [sic]", as many users believe they are fully updated when they are not. Exact version numbers are needed.
    8 GB is considered the realistic minimum to run Photoshop CC, but it's far from optimal—on any platform.  There are other factors that can be at play and which you don't specify, such as the space available on each of your hard drives, whether you have a physically separate, dedicated hard drive for Photoshop's scratch drive, what video card you have and how much VRAM does it have, what your graphics settings are in Photoshop's Preferences > Performance, etc.
    That's why I had indicated a link for you to read:

  • 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.

    I think it means "the sliders are all 0 so painting adjustments with this brush won't change anything."  In other words, move one of the sliders to a non-zero position, for example Exposure from 0 to 1.0, and then see what happens.  You can edit the brush and change it to do something other than Exposure +1.

  • LR2.7, cannot use the Adjustment Brush

    I choose a photo, select Develop module and choose the Adjustment brush. Then select +2 exposure but in only see the Hand/Zoom tools when I move the mouse over the image. How do I get the brush tool to display?

    The red is a mask so you can see where you have brushed
    To turn it on and off, Press the letter O

  • Use Tab to move between adjustment brush settings

    This is my second request (in no particular order) related to better keyboard navigation in the develop module (see also Snap exposure adjustment to round number and Tab between panels in develop).
    My preferred way to work through the develop panel is to [Tab] and  [Shift]+[Tab] through the adjustments and use the up and down arrows (and occasionally the number pad) to  make changes, adding the shift key for large changes.
    Unfortunately, this does not work for moving between fields in either the adjustment brush settings or the graduated filter settings. Instead, moving between settings requires using the mouse to move between each field. I'd really like to be able to use the same keyboard shortcuts throughout the entire develop module.
    Thanks!

    I just double-checked, using and LR 3.2 on Win7 x64, pressing [Tab] cycles from the last field in a panel back to the first field in the same panel (e.g. Saturation to WB), rather than to the next panel (e.g. Saturation to Highlights), which would be my preferred behaviour. Seems strange that this behaviour would be different between platforms, but it gives me hope that Adobe would be open to changing the Windows version's behaviour.

  • How do I use the adjustment brush to mask and not turn my item green?

    I have shot some products for my web site.  I need completely white backgrounds. I have tried to mask the product and lighten the whites, but when I click done, my product has turned very green.
    Why?  How do you use the brush?  Also, where is the invert to make this easier on me?
    Kind of urgent, I need to get these items on my site already.
    I know the answer is simple... I just don't know what it is.
    Thanks

    Have you tried without the adjustment brush, by simply adjusting white balance from the basic tab in develop?
    Click on the eye dropper tool and then click on a neutral gray color. Use the background if it is neutral rather than white. You may need to keep selecting the eye dropper to click in a few different places for best results.
    If you decide to use the adjustment brush you can show or hide the mask. Uncheck the mask when you have finished painting; then use the sliders, starting with tint and temperature.

  • Lightroom 5 What is the Color box for in the adjustment brush and filters

    Hi
    I am running Lightroom 5.6 although I think this has been around probably from 4.In the Basic Development module when I select the Adjustment brush, Radial filter or Graduated filter then below Defringe I get a box marked Color. What does this box do.

    Thanks for the quick reply. This is what I expected but it does not do it very well. For example If I have a light blue background and select 100% Blue in the Color box I would expect it to increase the blue but it does not really do this.

  • In camera raw, I am no longer able to use the adjustment brush.  This is a recent phenomenon.?

    In camera raw, I am no longer able to use the adjustment brush.  This is a recent phenomenon.

    Well, it worked fine for me as well for the past couple of years. I had not had any problems using it for the past few years. I use a Mac OS X Yosemite.  As far as I can tell nothing had changed. I had not added any new updates, and a week ago the adjustment brush in camera raw simply ceased working. Everything else in camera raw works.  However, the adjustment brush is a critical tool. I have checked my permissions, and even repaired my permissions with no results.  Of course I have also tried several restarts to no avail.

    Set Flow and Density of the brush to 100
    Reduce it where you want the effect to blend.

  • 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!

    Hi,

    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.

  • Is it possible to move the rsw.vba file to a shared directory?

    As I create more global functions, contants, variables, subs etc., this file will get very important. So Important that I suspect if it were somehow to become corrupt, deleted or lost most or all of my scripts would be broken. Right now I don't have source control software so I would like to store this file on our fileserver. I have already moved my repositories, scripts and DataBank Files to this location.
    Thanks in advance,

    i don't believe is possible to move the RSW.vba file to a shared directory, however you can just copy the file across different machines.
    I would also strongly recommend that, (if this file is gonna become so important) to use a source control system, SVN and tortoise make a very good combination
    (http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/).
    Have a look at this thread, it has some other ideas on how to share your RSW.vba file
