Lightroom 4 Graduated Filter tool

How do you change from compact mode to expanded mode in Graduated filter tool in Lightroom 4?

What do you mean by Compact mode?
- When you select the graduated filter, the menu expands. When you deselect the Graduated filter the menu rolls up.

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.

"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!

The graduated filter tool in LR 3 Develop module works fine but the grid lines that displayed the area affected are missing. How can I restore them?

Works fine now. Thanks

Lightroom - Graduated Filter 'Angle' slider?

Can I please suggest a hopefully useful feature request for the next version?
Would it be possible to add an 'Angle' slider to the Graduated Filter panel. Adjusting the angle by grabbing the center line handle is very twitchy, and can only be aligned by eye. More often than not I always start by pulling down from the top, or up from the bottom, a leveled filter, and I spend too much time fiddling around trying to get it level. With an Angle slider, and setting its slider default to horizontal (180 deg) would be ideal, more accurate and give a very useful alternative for placement control IMHO.
Any thoughts?
Rgds,
Howard

I am not certain that a numerical value makes sense here. One would surely want the Grad Filter to be defined in relation to the picture content. So any subsequent adjustment to the crop angle (image straightening), perspective warp etc could/should then cause this stated value to alter, which may be confusing. Or, if pasted between images, is it meant to work to each one's crop, or original framing?
But I think a "helper" would be useful - LR may already do the below, I cannot check just now .
I'd logically expect to see a Shift key modifier. Grab the handle to rotate, and it turns freely unless you are holding down Shift, in which case the grad constrains itself temporarily to align with the edges of the current crop.

Nice when life works out so simply

Gradauated filter tool lines missing

I am using Lightroom 2.3. I have just noticed that the 3 lines associated with the graduated filter tool (the ones that show the start, mid-point and end of the graduation) have disappeared. However the graduation effect (exposure, saturation etc) can be seen, but without the lines.
Would appreciate any help in correction this problem.
Thanks

Thanks Robtes. Problem solved, and am a wiser man today.

Radial filter tool in Camera Raw 8.3 does not show

If have updated Camera Raw and do not see the Radial Filter tool in the toolbar next to the Graduated filter tool. Does anybody know what is wrong here?

Are you using CS6? The Radial Filter only comes with CC. You will continue to be able to add ACR updates to CS6, but only with additional camera support, and not the added features that come with CC.
If you wanted to use the Radial Filter to produce vignette, check out the Post Crop vignetting in the FX tab. It produces a wonderfully smooth gradient with lots of control.

Lightroom 5 Graduated filter will not work from the centre out

Hi
I am running Lightroom 5.6 but I think this has always been the same. The Graduated filter in the Basic Development module only seems to work from the edges inward (from top/bottom or sides). I would like to create a filter across the centre (for a lake) but I can figure how to do this. I guess the only way is to use the new Radial filter is that correct (I would prefer to use the Grad filter).

To create the equivalent of a Graduated filter with the effect starting at the center you can drag the radial filter endpoint to stretch it off-screen. Use the hand tool to push the radial filter off-screen and then drag the endpoint out further. You may need to do this a few times. You can also use two Graduated filters back to back, which gives you the ability to apply a centered Exposure correction and adjustments for Highlights and Shadows correction that are different on each side.

Lightroom style Graduated filter?

I just started working with DNG images, which I thought was great because I could color correct them in Lightroom 5, which I'm used to because I have a background in stills. However I quickly realized if I put any graduated filters or such down, of course they won't follow any camera movements. I know Resolve can do tracking, and I see Premiere can now / soon too.
So far I wanted to reduce the saturation of a frosty paddock, while boosting it in the sky for the sunrise. It seemed the best way to do that was a graduated filter. Is that possible in Premiere? Or do I need to look at After Effects or Resolve for that?
Any thoughts would be great. Thanks!

There are reports that tracking doesn't work so well but, in theory, you could do this by applying masks to each area, color correcting them separately, and then tracking them.
The masking/tracking options are available in color correction effects -- fast, 3-way, luma curve, etc. To treat these two areas, you'd apply two such effects to the clip, for the two different areas -- draw the mask, color correct that masked area and track it. Add these effects above any primary corrections, otherwise you may get strange behavior -- the order of the effects is important and sometimes, in unpredictable ways. And again, can't vouch for tracking, you'll need to try.

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 Adobe be adding spot removal, adjustment brush and grad filter tools to lightroom mobile?

will adobe be adding spot removal, adjustment brush and grad filter tools to lightroom mobile?will adobe be adding spot removal, adjustment brush and grad filter tools to lightroom mobile?

We don't know (and anybody who knows can't say). It's an unanswerable question...

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.
