LR3 Brush Problem

Hello everyone.
Im having a problem using the brush in the develope module.I click on the brush and select a colour and begin to brush over the area I want to change. Then I click on the brush again to end and when I do , the changes Ive made revert back to original. No changes remain. Same thing happens when I want to selectively sharpen and area, once I click brush 2nd time to finnish, the changes revert back to original.
What am I doing wrong? Am I missing a step? Been trying this for about 3 days and its driving me crazy. Any help is much appreciated. Ive checked for updates and it seems to be to date.
Thank you

Hi, I just found the answer to my own question.
I had the Selected Mask Overlay box checked. Ive unchecked this and now when I paint the effect remains when I turn off the brush.
Man, I took me 3 days to figure that one out. I gotta lay off the bourbon.

  • Lightroom 5 Adjustment Brush Problem?

    When I want to use my adjustment brush, I do not have the second circle show up to show where it has taken the adjustment from the photo. Is there a way to fix this? I was able to use it before and didn't have a problem. But I haven't used the program in a while. If anyone can help me with this that would be awesome.

    When I am advising on weird adjustment brush problems I always say - Update your Mouse and Tablet drivers to the latest version.  Update your video card to the latest driver.  If neither of those fix it, then try resetting the preference file: Resetting (or 'Trashing') the Lightroom Preferences file - Lightroom Forums

  • LR3 download problems, Adobe Australia. Question for Adobe or anyone?

    It's been several days now since I online-purchased my upgrade to LR3 from Adobe Australia's online store. Serial numbers came through fine by email, no problem. However, when I went to download the file from the link provided in the Serial number email, another issue altogether - Akamai download manager installs then chugs away until 99% download, then freezes the entire system requiring cold restart to resurrect things. Have now tried this several times, always with the same result.
    The process does generate a file in the download target directory, called "Lightroom_3_LS11.exe.dlm", 164,378 Kb, as you can see it still has the .dlm extension.
    Question to Adobe or anyone else who might feel they know: has Akamai simply failed to remove the .dlm extension, and if I manually remove the extension, is the file likely to work?
    The 'alternative download method' on the download site provided to Australian customers seems to be  a dead link, nothing happens when I click on that. Will have to try Adobe Australia's helpline, but that is only 9am-5pm Mon-Fri so I have to wait until next week (it's Friday night here and Monday is a public holiday). No 24/7 help in Asia Pacific it seems!
    Note, I did check all of the security settings in IE8 for compliance with Akamai requirements before starting.
    Very frustrating, particularly after having zero problems with online purchase/download of all previous versions (I've been a constant user since version 1.0). The difference this time seems to be the Akamai download manager, perhaps particularly in its implementation on the Asia Pacific download site, as US customers seem not to be having the same level of problems?
    My system:
    Windows XP Pro SP3

    Just a further update re. my LR3 download problem:
    I managed to successfully download the LR3 update file using another computer running Vista 64. That computer was also running different antivirus software (McAfee Security Centre) so that may perhaps also have had an effect.
    So for anyone who may be be having similar problems, my experience downloading LR3 from the Adobe Australia website has been:
    Akamai download manager failed to download the LR3 update file on the following system:
    Windows XP SP3
    Norton Internet Security 2010
    Akamai download manager successfully downloaded the LR3 update file on the following system:
    Windows Vista 64
    McAfee Security Centre

  • Strange Brush Problem

    I originally had CS3 Extended on my iMac (OS 10.5.8). The brushes and clone tool worked normally.
    When I upgraded, I got CS4 (not Extended). The brush and clone tool problem I've had with CS4 is that the the stroke
    only comes from the center where the cross is. The whole width of the brush is not active. I upgraded to CS5 and have
    had the exact same problem.
    I spoke to a friend who is Adobe-certified and who teaches Photoshop. She said she has seen this problem one other time
    and that she tried changing every setting in every relevant part of the program, yet nothing fixed it.
    I freelance for an agency that recently put the entire CS4 Creative Suite on my laptop so that I could work for them in InDesign.
    I already had my copy of CS4 on the laptop, but the new installation overwrote it. In THIS copy of Photoshop, I DO NOT have the
    brush problem. I installed my copy of Photoshop CS5 onto the laptop and in the upgrade I DO have the brush problem. But the
    agency's copy of CS4 on my laptop is still problem-free.
    Any clues whatsoever? I haven't called Adobe yet.
    Thank you,
    avebon

    Below is a replica of the problem I'm having with the Clone Tool.
    As you can see from my original post, this problem occurs with my copy of CS4 that was upgraded from CS3 Extended. It does not occur with a completely different copy of CS4 that came with a full version of CS4 (including InDesign and Illustrator).

  • Camera Raw v8.7.1 Adjustment Brush Problem

    I’m using Adobe Bridge and my problem is in Adobe Camera Raw 8.7 and 8.7.1 itself. The Adjustment Brush cursor clicked position and the actual area that will be painted is not in the same area. As you can see the picture shown below, the actual painted area is being offset about one cm away from the cursor clicked position. Only the Adjustment Brush is affected. What's more, the cursor is larger than usual and the color changes to black instead of white. Hope someone can help to give a solution or hopefully Adobe can fix the problem.

    Another user has the same issue, I recommend submitting a bug report. Re: Is this a bug or a flaw in my install?
    You might try rolling back to 8.6 an see if that helps: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.6

  • LR3 export problem.

    I am suddenly having a problem when I export to a folder on my computer from LR3.  I do this all the time and I don't know what has gone wrong.  Today I exported a group of files to a folder on my computer which was going to be used to burn a cd and also to upload to a website.  I burned the disk and checked it and the photos are horribly dark and have really muddy shadows.  I then uploaded to a website and although the photos weren't quite as dark, they were very pixelated with a lot of strange color banding.  I tried exporting to a new folder and the same thing happened.  It should be noted that I did several prints today from lightroom and they came out perfectly matching my calibrated screen.  As a further test I created a folder on my website and uploaded one photo directly from LR and then added the same photo, but uploaded it from the exported folder on my desktop.  Here is a link to the gallery:        http://www.kathleenjohnstonphotography.com/Clients/test/19929113_DQ86Pb  You can see the huge difference in the two photos. 
    Does anyone have any idea of what is going on?
    I appreciate your help.

    Lightroom can do some peculiar things if your monitor is not properly calibrated, or simply has no profile assigned to it. ATI Catalyst and graphics drivers can be a nightmare to update, usually requiring uninstall of multiple drivers, and then reinstallation of the update files in a very specific order. I'm glad you were able to sort it out with X-Rite tech support. Suggestion: Do NOT install any updates for your ATI graphics drivers or Catalyst software when prompted by a Windows 7 update. This has been known to cause multiple problems and even loss of certain display card functions for the reasons I mentioned.
    Concerning the low res or pixeleated export image files, this is simply due to using a low JPEG Quality setting. As I suggested try using a Quality setting of 60 or higher, sRGB Color Space, and Standard or Low Sharpening setting.
    Example for 850 Long Edge export size (680 x 850). This insures both landscape and portrait images export with the same dimensions.

  • Adjustment Brush Problem

Howevwer the problem is not appeared in the graduating filter or spot adjustment.How can i solved this..
    Thanks for your help

    When brushing, holding down the Alt key will allow you to erase instead of adding to your brush selection. Holding down the Ctrl/Cmd key will put you in AutoMask mode if it’s not selected, or turn it off temporarily if it is. The two keys can be used together.
    Also, to the right of the Effect selection (under Edit) is a little rectangle (two squares side by side) that switch between ‘basic’ and ‘advanced’ mode. By switching to advanced mode more than one effect (Exposure, Brightness, Saturation, etc.) can be added to the same selection. Having done multiple effects, switching back to basic mode will allow proportional adjustment of all of the effects made.

  • Adjustment Brush Problem in LR2.1

    When I try to use the adjustment brush for any type of adjustment, all I get is a darkening overlay on my photo, as though I was drawing some kind of dirty grey quick mask. EG: soften skin - no change to the skin just a semi-transparent grey where I have brushed.
    I am pretty new to using this brush, but I am pretty sure I have used it before without a problem. Have I changed some setting? I can use all the adjustments globally but cannot apply them with the brush.

    Robbie,
    Hit the "O" key to turn the overlay off and on. Shift+O toggles between available overlay colors.

  • PSE 12 choosing brushes problem

    In PSE 12 when I wnat to choose a brush, the list appears for only a few seconds.  Not enough time to choose the brush I want.  What can I do??

    I am starting to regret spending $100 on upgrading from PSE9 to PSE12.
    It installs just fine but I can't bring across my catalog. It stops at the same point every time - 34%.
    That's typical  of a 'problem' file in the backup. Generally a video file; maybe a file format no longer supported by recent versions.
    I have followed the support document on what to do if catalog import fails but it didn't help.
    You mean : if the restore fails. (From the rest of your post, there does not seem to be any problem in importing all your files).
    Did you search for offending files ? (most of the time, the first test is to make a catalog copy, delete from catalog all video files, and see if the restore works). Ask if you want more help for this search.
    If it's an offending file, chances are that the problem is not linked to the Elements version, the restore could fail even from your version 9.
    If you are in a hurry and your version 9 is still available, I would 'write metadata to files' for all your files.
    Then I would use the drop-down menu of the keyword panel (small triangle next to the '+' icon under the keyword panel title) to 'save keyword tags to file'. That creates a small text file saving your keywords hierarchy.
    From PSE12, I would use the same dropdown menu to import that keyword hierarchy from the saved text file.
    Then, I would import all your files like you did. You would recover your tags, captions, ratings, but not the version sets and stacks.

  • Scroll Pen brush problem

    I have a problem when applying the scroll pen brush to a path I drew with the pen tool, I get the desired effect but I get a total of six lines instead of just the one. Is there any way to not get this many? I am using CS3.
    Kindes regards,
    Oskar

    Certainly.

  • Brush Problems with Illustrator CS4... the line does not draw with my mouse movement

    When I use any other brush besides the Calligraphic Brushes from the "Artistic Ink" brush library, I press down with either my Wacom Tablet or mouse, and the line does not appear to draw. Then I release the button on the mouse or lift my pen tablet up, the lines appears. Sometimes, a little "dot dot dot" line appears when the brush stroke it going to appear. But most of the time, it's just nothing, and then the line appears after I've drawn it.
    However, with the preselected brushed at the top, and the Calligraphic Artistic Brushes, the line appears as I am drawing it. This is what I want for the other brushes.
    Is this normal?! I just recently upgraded to Windows 7, and reinstalled the Adobe Suite. I can't remember if Illustrator did this before I reinstalled it, but I'm not sure it did otherwise it would have annoyed me as much as it does now. Can anybody help me?

    Hi!
    Hope I'm not hijacking this thread.
    First time posting to a forum.
    I'm having the same problem and followed the advice for changing the file name in the Illustrator CS# Settings folder.
    This solved the problem of seeing predicted brush paths for very basic brushs, but I still can't get a preview path for any of the ink brushs.
    I've seen video tutorials which demonstrate inking techniques and the ink brush predicted path was clearly working in those tutorials.
    I'm assuming therefore that I should be able to see some type of preview when using the ink brushs.
    Any advice would be great!
    Cheers!

  • Elements 11 Brush Problem

    Hello,
    I am using Elements 11 on a PC running Windows 7 Professional. 
    Not sure what setting I inadvertently changed, but am having a problem when I use any of the round brushes from the "Default" or "Basic Brushes" sets .  When I click the mouse button the brush mark does not appear on the layer directly under the brush pointer, but rather is offset to one side or the other. 
    I looked at the brush settings menu, but cannot figure out which of the options might be the one to correct the problem.  Each of them, with the exception of spacing (25%) and roundness (100%), is set to 0. 
    Is there a setting I need to change or some other fix?
    Thanks,
    Barb

    Select the brush tool and then reset the tool.
    Go to the right bottom option in the task bar (refer the below screenshot)
    Expand the list and then select the option 'reset tool'(refer the below screenshot)

  • Healing Brush Problem (PSCS5)

    Hi there, today my friend was creating tilable textures using the Offset tool, and then taking the Healing Brush tool to fix up the bad edges between the tiles. This has worked forever on his PC, but now suddenly is causing distortion when he uses it. Instead of having a soft edge to the healing brush marks, it comes out with distorted, pixelated edges.
    Things to note:
    • all other tools with soft edges work fine
    • if the file is saved out as a different file format the problem is saved with it (still visible)
    • only happens in CS5
    • the pixelation on the edges of the brush strokes are solid color and don't look the same as what happens if turing a layer to dissovle or anything
    • Photoshop CS5 Extended 64bit, Windows 7 64bit, GTX 260
    -Thanks

    So let me make sure I fully understand what is being attempted:
    You're using the Healing Brush to essentially clone pixels from another part of the image to an area of the image that's transparent.  You expect the soft edge of the brush to leave the edge of the result soft.
    I think I can reproduce what you're seeing.  Notably the blending doesn't seem to work properly either.
    Here's what I see while brushing, then after I let up on the mouse button:
    I think the real problem here is that it really doesn't seem to make much sense to use the Healing Brush on a transparent part of the image.  It's prime function is to mix the result in with the surroundings.  What are the surroundings in a transparent area?  At best, you might hope to get white pixels there.
    Some ideas that might help you work around this issue:
    1.  Use a layer mask to manage the transparency, and have the pattern entirely there in the image.  In other words, separate the texture prep entirely from the transparency prep.
    2.  Use the Clone Stamp tool instead of the Healing Brush if you really need to brush over transparent pixels.

  • Advanced healing brush problem

    After I have removed an object in LR5 using the advanced healing brush, I export the image to Photoshop cs6.  The erased object (in LR 5) shows up again in Photoshop.  What's going on? Another problem is that my friend uses the brush to remove some object.  Even though he set the Opacity to 100%, the object is stll can be seen as the opacity is only 70%

    I have installed the ACR 8.1, but it doesn't help at all.  I guess the ACR just make the software to recognize photos from the new cameras.  It really annoys me that the object erased by advanced healing tool comes back in photoshop so that I have the use the clone stamp in PS to remove it.
