LR6 Soften Skin adjustment brush issue

Anyone having problems with the Soften Skin adjustment brush in LR6 for very backlit photos? Mine is showing as very dark since upgrading my catalogue from LR5 and I can't get it to blend in with the skin tones now. Thank you!

Hi,
EDIT and delete my post to replace it with this:
I JUST FOUND THE ANSWER!

In my case, I was looking in the wrong place for the preset.  It is not in the list of presets in the left column.  Instead, it is in the Effects dropdown right in the Adjustment Brush palette.

  • Adjustment Brush issue over Windows 7

    I’m using Windows 7 and Lightroom 2.5 and I’m having some issues with the “Adjustment brush”.
    The brush cursor is not well drawn.
    I get like “half circle and half plus”.
    Or, I get multiple cursors: like 3 or 4.
    The tool works ok, but the cursor is terrible.
    Also, this issue only happens at some brush and feather size. In the huge and in the smallest ones doesn't happens.
    Any ideas?
    BTW, also happened with the 2.4 version.

    The most likely cause is a video card driver issue. For example, Lightroom and the nVidia Desktop nView control panel don't play well together. If using an nVidia card it might be worth changing the settings from Quality to Performance or vice versa (can'\t recall which). Also check that you have the most up to date video card driver.

  • Lightroom 4 - Spot removal and adjustment brush issues

    In Lightroom 4, my spot removal and adjustment brush tools will not work on all areas of photos (in particular faces and the center of photos). The cursor seems to show the tool only on the outside portions of the photo.  Any suggestions?

    I have seen this a couple time and a restart of Lr has always fixed it.  It seems like there is some kine of dialog box waiting for input "hidden" behind Lr as it its not there if you minimize Lr.  This has been reported many times for a LONG time so it is probably one of the Lr bugs that is not getting fixed.  To be fair to Adobe, if someone could reproduce this problem it might get fixed but it seems to be pretty obscure.  BTW, I think Ihave seen reports of it in Lr5 also so hopefully it will get fixed in Lr 6

  • Lightroom 2.4 Adjustment Brush issue

    I currently use Windows XP home and Lightroom 2.4 updated within the last two weeks. When I use the Adjustment Brush it creates the ruby lith mask over the image and dose not show any interactive live adjustments as I've seen on many of the on-line tutorials. Only after I've clicked the close button or the Adjustment Brush are the changes made. I then have to reselect the Adjustment Brush click the appropriate pin and get the same ruby lith mask and repeat the process time and again to achive the results I want.  I have the original 2.2 version on my laptop an it works as per the tutorials. Any pointers as to where I am going wrong would be welcome.

    On Mac ctrl +h hide\show pins, o - shows mask, shift + o changes color of the mask

  • Adjustment Brush Issue

    I've been using the adjustment brush for quite sometime, via LR2 and now LR3.  Currently I am using LR3 and it just stopped working all together.  It won't let me update the previous brush strokes made, nor will it make any changes through new brush strokes.  It will place a new pin, but nothing will take effect or become highlighted when I have the arrow over it, like it does the older pins I had set that work.  I've tried turning certain settings off and on again, as many as I can think of and nothing is working. 
    When it began doing this today though, I did try something that I'm not quite familiar with.  I was trying out the color settings under the brush adjustments and when I tried to go back to using exposure, saturation, etc. it hasn't worked since.  Anyone have an idea as to what I can do to get it working again?

    Never mind .

  • Reinstalling The Skin Soften Adjustment Brush in Lightroom 3.5

    Last week I accidentally deleted the "Skin Soften" adjustment brush in Lightroom 3.3. I upgraded to Lightroom 3.5 hoping it would reinstall the adjustment brush, but no such luck. I am having trouble locating information and understanding how to reinstall this brush. If anyone could help me do this, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    Go to Preferences, Presets Tab, and click "Restore Local Adjustment Presets".

  • Can not find the Skin Soften option with the adjustment brush 2.0

    When I first installed 2.0 I had an option for skin softening with the adjustment brush. Now it's gone. Does everyone using Lightroom 2.0 have skin soften with the adjustment brush?

    In Develop press K for Adjustment Brush (or click the Brush Icon). The it appears in the drop down menu next to Effect: that defaults to Exposure and has a small set of up and down arrows to the right of it. Soften Skin is last after a divider. It also appears (????) there for Graduated Filter (M).

  • Hi! I have a problem with the adjustment brush some are not there anymore like soften skin, how i can fix that?

    Hi! I have a problem with the adjustment brush some are not there anymore like soften skin, how i can fix that?

    Hi dear,
    it's funny, real funny.
    I think the programmes have diffrent sound system from the normal calls system.
    All you need to do is to turn the sound up from the bottom in the phone side in the time you're making or recieving the call.
    you'll hear the sound.
    I hope that would help.
    All the best

  • Issue with Clone Tool and Adjustment Brush in LR5.3

    If I export a .TIFF from LR5.3 in which I've used the Clone Tool or Adjustment Brush Tool and then load the .TIFF up in Photoshop CS2 to perform further edits, I can't save the file to a .JPG - I get a '...program error...' message during the save.  If I turn off the tool and export the file from LR5 again, I can do the edits in Photoshop and save it as a .jpg.  The same thing will happen in Capture NX2 trying to save the LR5 exported .TIFF to .JPG.    Has anyone else experienced this and are there any workarounds?

    ***UPDATE*** 3/7/14
    Apparently no one has experienced the issue as I posted above, but in case anyone is interested, I have discovered a workaround.  For some reason, the issue manifests itself when I export the TIFF with the option 'Metadata - Include All Metadata'.  If I change the Metadata option to the 'Copyright Only' or 'Copyright & Contact Info Only' I am able to open the TIFF in Photoshop, make edits as needed, and then save as a JPG.  Apparently LR5 is doing something weird with the Metadata file header that Photoshop and Capture NX2 doesn't like under certain circumstances. 

  • LR6 Adjustment Brush Pins Not Visible?

    Just installed LR6 (licensed) this morning. The adjustment brush seems to work, but the adjustment pins are not visible after exiting the brush dialog (can't see the pins to select for further edits). Reference attached image: there should be two brush adjustment pins visible, approximately where I've placed the red circles.
    Thanks in advance!

    Done.  Thanks, Jim!

  • Noise Reduction + Adjustment Brush = Smooth Skin

    A combination of the amazing new Noise Reduction feature in an Adjustment Brush would be the ideal solution for Skin Smoothing.

    I confess (due no doubt to my complete lack of appreciation for the Adobe development process), I thought they might slip lum-NR into the brush before releasing Lr3. Oh well - de-sharpening brush works pretty good too.
    The "de-sharpening" brush is de-sharpening from -1 to -50 and actually blurring from -51 to -100.  Combined with -clarity, I find it very effective on skin.

  • 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".

  • 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.

  • The adjustment brush suddenly stopped working in Lr CC (among other things)

    1. All of a sudden the adjustment brush stopped working in my Lr CC. The little buttons that you can click on to activate your adjustments are gone and when I open files where I have done adjustments they are still there but no "buttons" to click and consequently I can not make any changes or new adjustments. For example; in the image I have inserted I have made adjustments with a) Sharpness, b) Skin Softening and c) Iris Enhance and the adjustments are still there but no "buttons" any more and therefore I can´t change anything. I edited this image April 29 and 30 when Lr still worked fine. Today (and yesterday) things has really start spooking around with Lr.
    2. After having saved an image in Ps CC as a psd-file going back to Lr CC for cropping Lr continuously reloads and resets all edits that I have done or are trying to do.
    Everything has been working earlier but the past two days things like the above has stopped working.

    Well, all problems regarding this are solved after having talked to Adobe's support. After having backed up my lrcat we deleted the Lightroom 6 plist, emptied the trash can and then restored Lightroom to its default values during the start-up process.
