Lost black highlight associated to adjustment brush, radial filter, graduated filter [was: stupid problem]

lost black highlight associated to adjustment brush, radial filter, graduated filter and actions are showing up in small navigator window

Hi Eric
Thanks for your reply
I've had another look at it... whenever I have a negative exposure setting on the brush or gradient and apply it anywhere in the image it seems to affect the top end highlights throughout the image even if they haven't been clicked on.
It's just a small change but it is frustrating to lose highlight detail when you've worked hard to capture it in camera!
Look forward to hearing from you.

  • 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.

  • Eraser brush for radial  or graduated filter like in PSCC Camera Raw?

    Does anyone know if we are going to get an eraser brush for radial  or graduated filter like in PSCC Camera Raw or why not? I thought the camera raw engines were supposed to be the same with the same tools.

    Lightroom will likely, eventually, get the new Radial/Graduated filter brushes but very likely not before LR 6.0.  The developing engine under the hood are the same and Lightroom is capable of reading and rendering any of the ACR 8.6 filter brushes. The interfaces and tool sets have always had small discrepancies.
    Example: Anyone using ACR can tell you about the Color Sampler tool that has been in Camera Raw for sometime but never been in Lightroom.

  • Black speckles when using adjustment brushes

    I'm having an ongoing issue with Lightroom 4.4 when using adjustment brushes in the development module with RAW files from a Canon 5d Mark III Raw on a retina MacBook Pro running OS 10.8.3  When using the adjustment brush to make exposure adjustments, the adjusted area gets covered with tiny black speckles. I see it when trying to darken down highlights or when trying to lighten shadow areas. The heavier the adjustment, the worse the speckles get. I have taken the same original images and opened them in Photoshop and made similar local adjustments with curves and the images look fine, so it's definitely an error with Lightroom inserting the artifacts. Any suggestions?

    Turn off the AutoMask checkbox in the brush options.

  • Lost mask option button for adjustment brush

    I am not well up on the correct lingo so bare with me please.
    When using adjustment brush and Crop tool a bar used to appear under the photo giving me the option of seeing the overlay filter of where i had burned in or dodged.
    it also appeared for the 'Done' option when cropping.
    This bar has disspapeared from my screen and i can no longer see how much and what areas i have effected with the adjustment tool.
    how do i get this option back on my screen?
    this is lightroom 3.5 by the way

    So simple! Many thanks.

  • LRCC - Resize adjustment brush WITHIN a graduated/radial filter

    Easier to explain by detailing the steps to reproduce the issue:
    - switch to grad filter (M)
    - Zoom in (Z)
    - position the filter somewhere on the image
    - Use the "adjustment brush" tool within the grad filter (shift+T)
    - Use the mouse scroll-wheel to resize the brush.
    The brush size changes as expected but the image also scrolls. This is not the same as the behaviour of the standard adjustment brush.
    Is there a setting to turn this "feature" on/off?
    Thanks. Rob

    Certainly is weird behavior. You should report the quirk here: Photoshop Family Customer Community

  • Spot Removal, Radial Filter, Graduated Filter, Healing Brush Not Working

    The tools only work in some areas of the picture, not in most.  How can I correct this?  And, sometimes when they work, the dhanges cannot be removed.

    Generally, it is the bottom half of the picture where the tools do not work.  Also, the ratings squares on the bottom do not work.  Did I click on something by mistake?!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • No Adjustment Brush Tool in Camera Raw 5.2

    Hi, I'm new here. After watching a Gavin Hoey tutorial on HDR editing, I decided to give it a try. My pc came with PSE 7.0 pre-installed (it's version 7.0.1 and the camera raw is version 5.2.0.65) When I drag a RAW image into the edit window of PSE, it opens in a camera raw 5.2 window. On the Hoey tutorial, the window has an adjustment brush in the top toolbar, but on mine, there is no such tool. Is this normal, or can I download an update to fix this? I'm guessing PSE is a "diluted" version of PSand that's why the adjustment brush is missing.

    The tutorial was undoubtedly using Camera Raw hosted by the full version of Photoshop.
    Camera Raw in Photoshop Elements is emasculated by design, even though the Camera Raw plug-in is exactly the same one used by the full version of Photoshop.  There's only a limited subset of the features and tabs offered by Camera Raw when hosted by Elements.
    I don't remember at what stage the Adjustment Tool was added, so you should try updating Camera Raw at least to version 5.7, or higher if your version of Elements supports a higher version.
    In my opinion, Photoshop Elements is overpriced by about $80.

  • Accept/Reject changes and Adjustment Brush Buttons have disappeared

    The buttons that appear at the bottom of the Development Panel when using the Adjustment Brush, Crop Tool, GND Filter, etc., have STOPPED appearing on my version.  I can accept the changes by clicking on the Brush, ND filter, etc, but have no way to reject the changes other than going back in the history.  Also, the button that shows the Adjustment Brush as a "painted" area has disappeared with the rest, and so I can never specifically see the area I'm attempting to work on.  I thought perhaps I did something that hid or disabled these buttons, but I cannot find any such action.  Any ideas on this?  Thanks for any help. 

    While you're in the Adjustment Brush, hit the T key.

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

  • LR5 's Adjustment Brush doesn't seem to work-does the New Radial Filter have priority?

    So why in the world would I update Lightroom in the middle of a job.?
    Before I was able to do in and touch up shadowy areas using (K) adjustment brush, but now it doesn;t seem to work. The radial brush does a good job for a defined area but for SPOT touching I have always used the the adjustment brush?
    Is there a setting or am I missing something or is this a bug?

    The presence of the Radial Filter in the tool set should have no effect on the Brush. It continues to work just as it always has. In fact, even if the RF is open (I sometimes hit it by mistake when I really want the Brush) and you click on the Brush icon, the RF closes and the Brush opens. If your Brush is not functioning properly, it is very unlikely that the RF is the reason. The usual first aid for any LR misbehavior is to close LR, remove the Preferences file from its folder and relaunch LR, allowing it to make a new preferences file. Not guaranteed to solve the problem, but worth trying.

  • I have imported a color picture and trying to use the adjustment brush to turn the background black and white and it isn't working.  I have Lightroom 5.  Any suggestions?

    Hello - I have Lightroom 5.  I have imported a color photo.  I am trying to use the Adjustment Brush to change the background to Black and White and leave a portion of the photo in color.  When I begin painting the photo with the Saturation at -100 I don't see any changes to the photo.  I push the "O" key and still nothing.  I have tried to reset the photo, restarted Lightroom and still nothing.  Please help.

  • Highlight loss when using adjustment brush & graduated filter.

    Hi
    I'm using Lightroom 2.2 on a Mac.
    Is anyone else having the same problem? :
    When using the graduated filter or adjustment brush on an image it seems to cause some of the top end highlights to burnout, which is rather frustrating as it is usually when I am trying to rein them in a little.
    It seems to happen automatically even when not working directly on those areas and I cannot pull them back with the localised adjustment tools themselves.
    Any thoughts would be most welcome.
    Thanks
