Lightroom 5 graduated filter no lines no center dot

Lightroom 5.6.  When I use the graduated filter I do not get the lines to show me the boundaries.  The pivot dot is not visible.  I do not get a a hand to adjust the lines.  There are no lines, no pivot point.  Weird.  The graduated filter is unusable in this mode.  It used to work just fine. 

In the Toolbar (lower left) make sure Show Edit Pins is not set to Never.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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,

    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.

  • Lost my Pin Marker & Parellel lines in Graduated Filter-HELP!

    I'm a bit new to Lightroom and have suddenly lost the Pin marker icon and Parellel lines in the Graduated Filter tool.
    What I have in it's place is a "cross" icon and no parellel lines...however it does perform the function but with little contro.
    What do I do?

    That was it!
    Thankyou so much, I thought I was going crazy and would have to reinstal it.
    Nice when life works out so simply

  • Points and lines don't appear when i turn on graduated filter in LR 5.4

    The points and lines delineating the effects' range are not visible when I turn on the graduated filter in LR 5.4.  The effect works but without the points and lines I am pretty much guessing where the effects' borders are situated.  It worked fine before the 5.4 update.  I have no idea if it's related.

    Got it, thanks!

  • Graduated Filter "lines" not appearing?!

    Hi
    Happily using latest Lr 3.3 but just noticed in the last few days that when I use the "graduated filter" function, the three lines do not appear onscreen, but after dragging the cursor across an image, and editing say exposure the image does alter. So the function is working but without the lines.
    I've done all the obvious rebooting stuff, shut down other progs etc but no joy.
    Anyone else had this, or know how to get the lines back?!
    PS:
    any ideas how to report this bug to Adobe?
    thanks in advance
    Edward

    Ha! that fixes it
    many thanks Jeff, I'll have to watch for this!

  • Graduated Filter doesn't show guide lines or dots

    I'm used to using the three lines that the graduated filter shows to determine how extreme my adjustments will be. But about three months ago, this stopped showing up. I've scoured the Internet and checked the settings, to no avail. I've been guess-and-checking it since then, but it's difficult. Also, the little circles showing where I've applied graduated filters don't show up when I click on the filter tool. So, once I make a filter I cannot change or delete it independent of going back in my history.
    Any help would be greatly apprecaited!

    At the left bottom corner of the image there are two small triangles. Click on them and you'll get a fly-out menu. Select <Always> and the pin and the guide lines will show. ee screen shot

  • Graduated filter migration to lightroom 4 (editing lost when upgrading)

    After upgrading from 3 to 4, some editing is lost. In my case, the use of graduated filter with various effects are completely lost. How can I recover the edits?

    How did you upgrade? Are the "effects" zeroed or just changed? Did you
    update process version to 2012?

  • 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?
