Local adjustment brush, not in XMP file

Local adjustment brush, not in XMP file
I shoot everything on location and make minor edits while on location. My location edits usually transfer with the XMP file. I used the new local adjustment tool while on location, however when I got back to my main workstation and transferred the images the local adjustments were not there. Can this be fixed somehow, as it would be nice to only make those edits only once? I do not use as a catalog program, once the job is complete it is removed from the lightroom catalog so again those local adjustments are gone.
Thanks
Mark

The problem may be and I am only guessing here that because no other program
currently supports the adjustment brush options that that information is not
added to XMP file. Not even Photoshop or ACR supports that as of yet. Though
I honestly would have expected that information to be there anyways it would
just be ignored by programs that don't know what to do with (basically
everything but LR 2.0).
Have you tried using DNG files. From what I understand an XMP file it not
needed as the information that is normally in a XMP file in kept inside of
the DNG file. This maybe another reason to go with the DNG format.
Good luck.

  • My Local Adjustment Brushes no longer recognized after LR 4.3 update

    After running 4.3 update, my local adjsutment brushes are no longer recognized and appearing in the Lightroom GUI.  They are all still located under 'Lightroom' folder --> 'Local Adjustment Brushes' folder (nothing has changed and I see all files are still there in Finder), but no matter how many times I've restarted LR, they are not showing up in the GUI.
    Please advise ASAP!!  Thank you

    It's not clear from your initial problem description, but are you talking about local adjustment presets that you have created yourself (i.e. user presets), or are you talking about the standard presets supplied by Lightroom (Burn, Dodge, Soften Skin, etc)?
    If it's the latter, go to Preferences>Presets Tab and click on "Restore Local Adjustment Presets".

  • Local Adjustment Brush - create a line

    Hey everyone,
    I thought that in Lightroom 2, you could use the local adjustment brush, click on an area, then hold down ctrl key, click another area, and a line would be drawn between the two points.  How do you do it in Lightroom 3?  Am I mistaking this in Lightroom 2?  I'm pretty sure I used it alot for a while and can't figure it out now.
    Thanks ahead of time,
    Colby

    Not in Lightroom. Applying changes to a selection is sort of the domain of a pixel editor.

  • Strange behavior of LR3 local adjustment brush

    Lately, it seems that LR3 (Mac) is acting strange when doing local adjustments. When using the adjustment's brush, the area being "painted on", i.e., adjustments, a square area centered on the cursor position is shaded a bit darker than the area not covered by the brush. What gives?

    I have had similar problems with 3.2 and also (while doing local adjustments)
    - rectangular areas of the image suddenly duplicated elsewhere in the image
    - whole image flipped upside down while painting with the local adjustment brush
    Using Undo always put back the image in a normal state (the state it was before starting to apply the last local adjustment).
    I have not seen this in 3.3 (final release) until now but I didn't use it much since it has been made available.
    NB: (before someone asks) Yes, I do have the latest NVidia driver installed.

  • How to change local adjustment brush size when unselecting ?

    Perhaps a stupid beginners question but i cannot seem to find this one..
    Using the local adjustment brush i can change the size of the brush using the [ and ] brackets
    However.. when i make a small error and want to erase brushed-area by using the ALT key then the brush size seems to be fixed to one size ???

    Erwin,
    As they say, there are lots of ways to skin a cat.
    Erase mode uses a different setting for the brush size. You can adjust it, but not with the brackets while the Alt key is held down.With the Alt held down, you can still move the size slider in the brush panel with the mouse.
    I can't speak for Macs, but on Windows, my scroll wheel works to change the size of the brush, whether the alt key is pressed or not.
    If that won't work for you, you can click on the "Erase" text button in the brush panel and then use the bracket keys to change sizes. You'll be in erase mode even without holding down the Alt key. In fact, in that mode, holding the Alt key puts you back in "paint" mode.

  • CS3 not reading xmp files generated in CS2.

    CS3 is not reading xmp files generated in CS2.
    If I open a raw file that was adjusted in ACR in PSCS2 with PSCS3 it does not recognize the adjustments that were made to the file.
    PSCS3 opens the file in ACR with the default settings and I lose all of the adjustments and crops.
    Is anyone else having this problem. If so: is their a fix or a stting I should use?

    First. make sure you have updated to Bridge 2.1.0.100.
    2nd, Purge the Cache from the TOOLS menu in Bridge.
    3rd, Delete and rebuild your Bridge preferences by holding down the Option key (Command+Option, or Command+Option+Shift work as well) immediately after launching the application.
    4th, if that doesn't work, make a fresh, new Mac account and log in as a different user.
    Then report back.

  • CC Bridge slow-.  adjustment brushes not showing size, adjustments when done blind are slow to react

    I am running Imac 2.7 GHz    16 gb ram    600 gb hard drive available
    adjustment brushes not showing size, adjustments when done blind are slow to react.

    Bridge is far more than a file browser.   Bridge does what lightroom does.
    When working with Raw  files, there are tools,   **adjustment brushes** that allow you to dodge and burn raw files.
    These brushes are size adjustable and now with CC, I can not see the size of the tool I am using.
    So you might want to look at Bridge differently, as it is a very powerful tool.
    Anyone else have a similar experience with CC version of Bridge?

  • Local Adjustment Brush - can't choose color

    When I choose to add color to a local adjustment brush, there is a small square on the color spectrum but I cannot select anything as my eye dropper has disappeared.  How do I get it back?  I am able to choose a color from the swatch above but not within the color spectrum below.
    I appreciate any help.
    Lightroom3

    I'm using Windows 7 and my monitor drives are up to date (or at least as recently as last week I checked).  I think it is a setting somewhere.  I can still choose a color but have to do it with the arrow keys.

  • Local Adjustment Brush Sliders Are Gone

    I did a reinstall, repair actually of LR 2.6 due to blue screen errors (which turned out not to be LR related) and now my local adjustment brush sliders are gone! I've got the old style, one slider with the other controls being + & - buttons. I've got no clue what else is gone but I would like my sliders back.
    What happened? LR says it's the most current version.

    Jim,
    In the upper right corner of the brush panel is a little whte buttton. It is on the same line as "adjustment:".
    Click that button to reveal your sliders

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Local Adjustment Brush does not work in Windows 7, 64-bit

    All other tools and functions work OK.  My issue is just with the Adjustment Brush;  The Adjustment Panel opens when the brush is selected and the brush moves, but none of the adjustments are applied to the image.  The problem is clearly related to the new operating system.  This was just confirmed, by removing the hard drive with the Windows 7, 64-bit OS,  and inserting an old hard drive with Windows Vista, 32-bit installed. The adjustment brush works fine with the old OS and the same version of PS.
    My normal monitor resolution is 1920 x 1200 with a DPI of 151; however, this DPI is not compatible with PS, so I reset it to 149 evey time I use PS.  Lower screen resolutions and DPI settings don't resolve the problem. I mention this only because of a previous cursor problem that was resolved by changing the DPI.
    I'm using CS4 with Camera Raw version 5.6.  Version 5.5 also does not work.
    Can anyone offer suggestions?

    Problem solved.  One of the recent upgrades to Camera Raw reset the flow rate to zero, which I did not notice until after posting the message.
    Sorry for the error.

  • Adjustment brush not working in camera raw cs6

    The adjustment brush in Camera Raw PS6 is not working properly.  The slider makes a slight change but I can do no local adjustments.  All other parts of Camera Raw seems to be working.  I have restored the computer.  Is there a toggle I do not know about?

  • 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.

  • Adjustment Brush not working correctly

    Since moving to LR 5.6 the adjustment brush has not worked correctly.
    I am unable to adjust the size of the brush using the scroll function on my Mac mouse.When I try to do this I can see the slider moving indicating the size of the brush but nothing actually happens.When I try to adjust it using the slider itself again nothing happens.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem or can you offer some advise please

    The ACR plug-in files for PS-CS6 and PS-CC are in different folders, but the camera profiles and lens profiles are in a common folder.   Since updates to ACR are typically handled by the product, itself, not direct-link downloads that you must have saved for ACR 7.1, I don’t know what the error means in relation to CC having a newer ACR.
    What version of ACR did you have installed for CS6 before you tried to update to ACR 7.1?  Are you trying to downgrade from a higher version of ACR on CS6?
    The first thing I would try is install ACR 8.3 RC for PS-CS6, using the CS6-specific link at Adobe Labs.
    If you really need to go back to an earlier version of ACR, then the Adobe-approved method is to uninstall PS, entirely, then re-install it to get the older version. 
    It may be that you have to uninstall both CS6 and CC and then install CS6, first, and get it updated the way you want it, then install CC, again, and update it how you want it.  That seems like a lot of work, though.
    Why are you wanting to install ACR 7.1 for CS6?
    If you plan ahead, then the way you can switch between different versions of the ACR plug-in, is to save your Camera Raw.8bi file each time you upgrade (I rename mine so the extension is the version:  Camera Raw_8bi.71 and leave them in the same folder), and just replace whatever version of the ACR plug-in with that one you want.
