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

  • 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.

  • Spot Removal tool should be an extension of the Adjustment Brush

    I am glad that LR is taking steps in the right direction to improve the Spot Removal tool with the new Healing Brush feature. However, I agree with others that the interface needs improvement. Though I am probably not the first, I feel I have the solution:
    Integrate the Spot Removal tool into the Ajustment Brush tool. Here's why.
    I think an improved interface for the Spot Removal brush tool (Q) already mostly exists in the in the form of the Adjustment Brush (K), and indeed the two tools should share the best of their respective features and controls. The current Adjustment Brush has most of the features we are looking for in the Healing Brush:
    Pre-brushing Size of brush (already implemented in the Spot Removal tool)
    Pre-brushing Feathering control
    Pre-brushing Flow/Density control (already implemented in the Spot Removal tool as Opacity)
    Partial erasure of selected brush stroke masks, while maintaining the above brush controls (by holding the ALT key in Windows, aided by making the Mask Overlay visible (O))
    Pre- and Post-brushing adjustments of each Spot Removal brushstroke for White Balance, Tone (Exposure, Contrast, Saturation, etc), Sharpness, etc.
    Adding the above features would be an incredibly useful approach to the Spot Healing tool, and would be a natural extension of the interface we already are familiar with. Both the Adjustment Brush and Spot Removal tools could be further improved by these additional features:
    Post-brushing Size of circular brush (already implemented in the classic Spot Removal tool)
    Post-brushing Size of painted brushstroke (supposedly already newly implemented in the LR5 Beta Spot Removal tool, though I haven't been able to get it to work on mine)
    Post-brushing Feathering control
    Post-brushing repositiong of painted brushstroke (already implemented in the classic Spot Removal tool)
    In summary, the Spot Removal tool should really be an extension of the Adjustment Brush. They should live in the same control panel (with a Clone or Heal ON/OFF toggle switch). The Adjustment Brush could benefit a bit from the addition of a couple of the existing post-brushing features of the Spot Removal tool.
    The two tools are really one tool, they just don't know it yet. Let's introduce them to itself.

    A few weeks ago, I posted the silly graphic above. It is a Venn diagram of my interpretation of Lightroom 5 Beta's three main local adjustment tools' strengths, weaknessess, and overlapping powers. Each tool - the Adjustment Brush, the Spot Repair & Advanced Healing Brush, and the Graduated & Radial Filter - has one or more discreete powers or traits. The three tools each overlap a neighboring tool in an important aspect (e.g. the Adjustment Brush and the Advanced Healing Brush can each be used to paint any freehand shape to be adjusted). By default, the descreet "Super Power" of one tool is a "Super Weakness" of each of the other two, which lacks that power (e.g. the user can make additions or partial erasures to any mask overlay with the Adjustment Brush, but neither the Advanced Healing Brush nor The Radial Filter has this power).
    In the very center of the diagram is the overlap of all three of the local adjustment tools. In this triple-overlapped zone, there is currently no existing tool. I theorize that there could be a special sort of new local adjustment tool, which combines all of the powers (and none of the weaknesses) of the individual tools of which it is composed. Inspired by the notion of cartoon supeheroes teaming up to combine their powers, I gave it the tongue-in-cheek name "Super Friends Awesomesauce Brush". However, my vision for such a tool is completely serious. Basically, I envision it as an "Advanced Adjustment Brush"
    For example: 
    Paint a shape on the image with a feathered brush. (A transparent colored mask overlay guides the user in the same way that the traditional Adjustment Brush does, as lollololli correctly suggests above as an easier way to paint a selection.)
    Pick up that brushstroke with the mosue and place it in another part of the image.
    Enlarge or reduce the overall size of the brushstroke with the Size slider.
    Increase or decrease the overall feathering of that brushstroke's edges with the Feather slider.
    Erase with the freehand erasure brush the portions of the mask that you don't wish to interact with the image.
    Convert that brushstroke into a healing repair.
    Resize that repair shape larger or smaller, and/or change its aspect and rotation as needed. (Transformations to the shape of the target brushstroke, not necessarily transformations of the shape of the healed or cloned sample pixels)
    Increase or decrease the exposure or color temperature of the repair.
    Or,
    Create a new Radial Filter on the image.
    Adjust the exposure, white balance, Gaussian blur, etc. of the filter.
    Subtract from that Radial Filter by erasing with a second erasing Radial Filter at the same pin-level
    Add back to the Radial Filter with a freehand feathered brush as desired
    Or,
    Maximise the brush size and minimize the feather setting and paint a solid mask overlay over the entire image.
    Convert the mask overlay to a Clone repair - you have now created a second duplicate layer of the entire image on top of the original (BTW you can already do this step with the Advanced Healing Brush set to Clone and size 100 in LR5 Beta).
    Subtract from that clone repair with a Radial Filter erasure to create a "hole" that shows the base image underneath.
    Make independent exposure, white balance, and sharpening adjustments for both the base image (seen through the Radial Filter subtraction "hole") as well as the cloned top layer.
    Reposition and resize the Radial Filter erasure as needed.
    Add to and/or erase from either the Radial Filter erasure or the cloned top layer with radial filter shapes or freehand brushstrokes as desired.
    I see this proposed Advanced Adjustment Brush as a very powerful localized adjustment tool. Although It really isn't a new tool at all, because it is almost completely based on the existing local adjustment tools. Additional enhancements (more geometric shapes such as polygons) could take its flexibility even further.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • The Graduated Filter and Adjustment Brush in Lightroom 4 | The Complete Picture with Julieanne Kost | Adobe TV

    In this episode of The Complete Picture, discover the power of making selective adjustments like dodging and burning, color corrections and noise removal using the Graduated Filter and Adjustment Brush in Lightroom 4. Note: although this video was recorded in Lightroom, the same techniques are available in Adobe Camera Raw in Photoshop CS6.

  • Graduated filter and Adjustment brush always use "last used effect"

    In my workfow I mostly use opposite effects in the Graduated filter and Adjustment brush.
    Lightroom maintains "least used effect" even when changing tools.
    Is it possible that each tool retains its last used effect?
    In my workflow I mostly use opposite effects when using Adjustment brush en gradient filter. Changing the effects wastes a lot of time when editing hundreds of images.

    I agree that it would be nice if the individual tools remembered their own last used preset.
    Unfortunately LR does not work that way.

  • 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

  • Will LR get the new brush feature added to the graduated filter and radial filter like the latest version of Camera raw?

    Will LR get the new brush feature added to the graduated filter and radial filter like the latest version of Camera raw?

    OK, at least I can look forward to it and use Photoshop & CR instead of LR for these filters until then.
    Thanks

  • 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.

  • Adjustment brush

    Hi,
    When I open the adjustment brush only a partial menu opens. The brush size, density ect....but no actual photo adjustment sliders. The complete menu opens for radial filter and graduated filter just not for the adjustment brush. Any ideas?

    Never mind....got it figured out, just couldn't see the dark expand button.

  • Editing TIFF file with an adjustment brush vs. Photoshop Layer

    I have some TIFF files I need to do some adjustments on. Mostly darkening the sky. Where the sky meets the foreground it is made up of tops of Spruce Trees.
    My question is, can/should I use the adjustment brush in Lightroom to do this, or should I make a layer in Photoshop to do this?
    I have found that when using the adjustment brush over the tops of Spruce trees, it is best to just paint over the whole thing, or else it will look artificial. Not sure if doing this in Photoshop would make my life easier? Any comments? Thanks.
    Scott

    A couple of comments: either a graduated filter or a brush-painted adjustment which paints across (for example) the horizon / tree / silhouette line of (say) a bright sky, will naturally (or, better to say, unnaturally) affect  the overlapped parts too, IF you use the "Exposure" slider to do this. In that case one would need to be reasonably precise and finicky about the masking, which IMO goes a little against the intention of these tools within LR..
    However, if you use the new LR4 "Highlights" slider instead, the result is much less artificial-looking IMO - even if you have painted (or graduated) quite loosely to include some areas of darker buildings, trees, mountains etc. This is because rather than affecting the whole tone scale, only bright regions of the picture are affected by "Highlights". Conversely, only dark areas of the picture are affected by the "Shadows" adjustment, when you use that.
    So in that context, one would only need to erase back out of the painted mask, any areas where this adjustment was noticeably unwanted - which is often, a better way to proceed than attempting to paint your adjustment postively up to a boundary. The effect of a smoothly graduated adjustment can be achieved by using a very large, very soft-feathered brush in the first place, rather than the Grad tool - with the advantage that unlike the grad tool, a smaller harder brush can then be used in Erase mode to cut out areas as required. Depending on the nature of the adjustment, this too can be done fairly loosely - or, with Auto mask turned on.
    Auto mask can be a little blocky and harsh in the way it treats an edge, but this tends not to matter when you are erasing out, so much as when you are painting in.

  • Adjustment brush not showing correction options

    I am in the Develop module trying to use the Adjustment Brush. After selecting the brush I am not seeing the window below that allows me to apply the corrections (exposure, contrast, etc.) I want. This window does show up if I select Graduated or Radial filters.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    I am using LR5 with Windows 7 and have ensured that there are no LR updates avaialble. I have the latest version.

  • The adjustment brush in Lightroom does not work

    The lightroom brush does not work.  The radial filter and graduated filters work.  How can I correct this?

    What isn't working? Explain a little bit about the problem. Also, what OS, what version of Lightroom, a few details to help us understand your situation really helps. If the problem is that you can't see the tool when it's activated, try pressing the H key which is the toggle switch to hide/show the tool. Another thing to look at is the the flow adjustment on the tool. Without more information, I could guess and guess and guess. But I would just be wasting my time and yours.
