Lightroom 4 Adjustment Brush Presets

In Jeff Schewe's book "The Digital Negative," I read that Lightroom 4 comes with Adjustment Brush and Graduated Filter presets.  I use Camera Raw (CS6), which doesn't come with presets.  Would someone be willing to list the settings for each Lightroom 4 preset so I can create the same presets in Camera Raw?  Thanks.

Download the LR4 trial and you can dissect them yourself...

  • Can a Lightroom adjustment brush draw a straight line by clicking the start and stop points?

    Can a Lightroom adjustment brush draw a straight line by clicking the start and stop points?

    I'm trying to selectively adust areas of an image in Lighroom. eg: a window frame in an architectural photo, and so being able to make straight lines with the adjustment brush would be very useful.
    I agree it would be useful. It's something that's been asked for. The best thing is to keep requesting at the Lightroom feature request forum

  • Lightroom Adjustment Brushes not showing in Photoshop Camera Raw

    I hope someone can answer this for me please
    I prefer to do my RAW editing in Lightroom (that's just the way I like to do it) but now I want to send the image off to photoshop to build a poster with the same image.  So I open Photoshop and then choose Place Embedded from the File menu.  The Adobe Camera Raw 8.6 Dialouge opens and I was expecting to see all my develop settings the same as well as the Adjustment Brushes but for some reason the brushes aren't showing???
    Why is this and is there a way to fix it simply?
    Many thanks
    Alex

    You could open the file in photoshop as a smart object from lightroom.
    Or in lightroom you could go to Photo>Save Metadata to File, which i believe overwrites the original xmp file if you've already
    opened it in photoshop camera raw or creates a new xmp file in the same folder as the camera raw file.
    Either way, when you place embedded in photoshop the adjustment brush settings should be there.

  • Lightroom adjustment brush inconsistent with Camera Raw

    I love Lightroom's adjustment brushes, but I find it annoying that I can't use them to take saturation all the way to monochrome, even with the saturation slider turned down all the way. Today, I noticed that in Camera Raw 5.4, the same thing is NOT true - you can remove color completely with an adjustment brush.
    Surprised at this difference, I wondered what would happen when I loaded the ACR-adjusted file back into Lightroom. Lo and behold, Lightroom showed the result of the adjustment brush the same way as ACR, with all color removed. Excellent!
    But what would happen if I changed that adjustment brush in Lightroom? Would it "forget" what I had done in ACR and revert to its normal behavior? No, it continued to behave just as it had in ACR. But in the same photo, a brush created in Lightroom did not behave the same way. So clearly, it was something to do with which program created the brush.
    Then I took a look at my XMP file, and it became (somewhat) clear what's going on. This is one of the XMP attributes for the brush created in ACR:
         <crs:MaskValue>1.000000</crs:MaskValue>
    And here's the same attribute for the brush created in Lightroom:
         <crs:MaskValue>0.375000</crs:MaskValue>
    The obvious next question is, what happens if you change MaskValue from 0.375000 to 1.000000? Answer: The brush  starts behaving like an ACR brush.
    Now, this is kind of cool. I can get the behavior I want in Lightroom, by editing the XMP file by hand. On the other hand, editing XMP files isn't really my favorite thing. Is there some setting in Lightroom that can be used to achieve a MaskValue of 1.000000 for adjustment brushes? I couldn't find one, but hey, there are a lot of settings...

    Ian, thank you! It was indeed Density that did the trick. I mistakenly thought Density had nothing to do with it, because you have to set it before you create a new brush stroke. (Each individual stroke of a particular adjustment brush can have a different Density value, along with the other Brush attributes like Size.) So I was changing it for my existing brush strokes, foolishly expecting it to work like the Effect sliders, and seeing no effect.
    Jao, my flow was set to 100 all along, so I don't think that was my problem. It really seems to have been Density.

  • Lightroom Adjustment Brush Use for windows

    In Using the adjustment brush with exposure mode active I get a light red/pink color over the area the brush is used, this is not the mask that shows up when the curser is put over the pin. I also can not not make real time adjustment but when I click the adjustment brush to turn it off I can see the changes I tried to make. Any comments are suggestion would be welcome.

    This is the Photoshop Windows forum. You would likely get an answer much faster if you try asking your question in the Lightroom forum.

  • Lightroom adjustment brush not working

    My adjustment brush was working fine, I took a break, and when I came back the brush won't do anything. The pin appears but the image doesn't change. I've tried adjusting size, feather, and flow all over the scale, and I've pushed the exposure down as far as it will go so I can see if anything happens. None of the regular exposure, highlight, shadow... settings are doing anything. It is showing up in the history bar but no change to the image.
    I have tried closing and reopening the program and restarting the computer. It's been several days and I still can't get it to work

  • I'm using Lightroom cc, I'm trying to create a develop preset. I'm making changes to one photo that I want to apply to many other photos, one of the changes is to blur the background using the adjustment brush. When I am blurring I am going over the photo

    I'm using Lightroom cc, I'm trying to create a develop preset. I'm making changes to one photo that I want to apply to many other photos, one of the changes is to blur the background using the adjustment brush. When I am blurring I am going over the photo several times, when I go to create the preset the adjustment brush is not an option to check. How do I add the adjustment brush to the develop presets. Thanks Ron.

    The adjustment brush cannot be added to a develop preset.
    If you can replace the adjustment brush with a gradient filter or radial filter, you can add those to a dev preset.
    If a gradient filter or radial filter is not an option for you, you can at least create an adjustment preset to remember your brush settings.

  • Is it possible to export brush presets from Lightroom 4?

    Hello all,
    Is it possible to export brush presets from Lightroom 4?  I created custom brush presets on my laptop and I would like to export them and import them onto my desktop if at all possible.  Did a bit of research online and could only find this link which only applies to 'Presets' in general, http://help.adobe.com/en_US/lightroom/using/WS2A36C507-E076-4b14-AAC3-87852595D175.html.  Please let me know if this is possible or not as this would be a great time saver.
    Thank you!

    Brush Presets are stored in the "Local Adjustment Presets" sub-folder within the Lightroom settings folder structure. The location of the latter varies by Operating System, or if you have "Store Presets with Catalog" checked in your Lightroom Preferences (Presets Tab)....easiest way to locate them is go to that Presets Tab on the Preferences dialog and click on "Show Lightroom Presets Folder"....that will open a Finder/Explorter window with the Lightroom folder showing. Open that folder, find the Local Adjustment Presets sub-folder and copy the brush preset .lrtemplate files to your desktop. Repeat the process on the desktop to locate the Local Adjustment Presets sub-folder, then simply copy the brush presets into it. They should then show up in Lightroom on the desktop (you may need to restart Lightroom first).

  • Unable to add further Edits using Adjustment Brush in Lightroom 5.

    Using Lightroom 5 - when I go back to a previously edited image to do further editing, using the Adjustment Brush, I open the effect that I want to use ( Dodge, for example) but all the sliders are inoperative. The word 'Dodge (Edited)' appears in the Effects header. Therefore I can't make any further changes to the image. I have opened the drop down Effects menu and ticked 'Restore default presets' but to no avail. Any solutions welcome.

    Thank you for that trshaner. The density was set at 100 but flow only 86. I've shoved that up to 100 now and I think we may have a result!
    Thanks again.

  • Sharing custom preset local adjustment brushes between 2 computers?

    As I start to do more and more of my work in either Lightroom 2.2 or ACR, I'm creating "preset" local adjustment brushes.
    I run on a desktop and a lap top.
    Is there a way to copy and move the new preset brushes from one computer to another?
    Asked another way, where does ACR and/or Lightroom store these things on a Mac so that I can copy from one and move to another?
    Thanks.
    Steve

    ACR Presets and Settings etc. are stored in:
    Users/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Camera Raw/
    You can copy them to another computer and store them in the equivalent place.

  • Reinstalling The Skin Soften Adjustment Brush in Lightroom 3.5

    Last week I accidentally deleted the "Skin Soften" adjustment brush in Lightroom 3.3. I upgraded to Lightroom 3.5 hoping it would reinstall the adjustment brush, but no such luck. I am having trouble locating information and understanding how to reinstall this brush. If anyone could help me do this, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    Go to Preferences, Presets Tab, and click "Restore Local Adjustment Presets".

  • Lightroom 4.2 adjustment brushes aren't working (and weren't before update either)

    When I go to use my adjustment brushes, I would select the one I wanted to use and then go try to use it.  As soon as I first let go of my mouse, the brush would change to custom.  Since updating to 4.2, that has stopped switching, but my brushes still don't work. I have tried multiple brushes and it's all of them, not just one particular one.  I have tried restoring my presets, that didn't work. I have tried deleting all of the presets from the folder, restarting Lightroom and re-importing them, that didn't work. I updated Lightroom, that didn't work.  I have restarted my computer and that didn't work.  The thing is, is that they HAVE worked before.  I was switching between some catalogs and once I was done with that, they stopped working.  So I'm not sure if I did something while switching between catalogs or not.  I use these brushes all the time and they are a significant part of my workflow!!! Any ideas?

    Hi Maggie, do you mean the preset name changes to custom?  Does that sound like this bug: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/lr4_1_self_created_preset_brush_prob lem ?
    When you say they don't work, have you checked the Flow slider value?
    And if you go to preferences, is 'store presets with catalog' checked?  That could explain it working in one catalog but not others.

  • Wacom Tablet Pen Pressure stops working in Photoshop after using Lightroom Local Adjustment Brush

    Hi all,
    I am experiencing a problem with my Intuos Pro Medium (driver 6.3.9w3 on Windows 8.1)
    I am using Lighroom 5.6 and Photoshop CC 2014.
    I an get the pen pressure to work in Photoshop without any problem. However, if I go into Lightroom and use the Local Adjustment Brush and then transfer the photo into Photoshop (Right Click Edit In => Edit in Adobe Photoshop 2014 CC) then the pen pressure stops working in Photoshop.
    Really frustrating... The only workaround is to close both Photoshop and Lightroom, then reopen Photoshop, then usually the Pen pressure feature starts working again.
    Has anyone experienced this before or has any idea how to fix this?
    Thanks,
    Guillaume

    Your tablet driver isn't reporting pressure correctly.
    The knockoff tablet drivers usually need to be revised for each new version of Photoshop (and we have no idea why).
    Contact your tablet maker to see if they have updated drivers to fix their bugs.

  • 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???
