How do I get the adjustment brush to "paint" white?

How do I get the adjustment brush to "paint" white? I have tried the color panel, but nothing works.

Make sure 'Auto Mask' is unchecked, Flow & Density = 100, and desired Feathering is set before painting. Set the Adjustment Brush to Exposure = +4. If you have LR5 right-click on the Adjustment Brush pin you just created and select Duplicate. If you have LR4 or earlier you'll probably need to manually paint the area twice with Exposure = +4.

Adjustment Brush is painting bright red when it is set with saturation at -100

Anyone have any idea why it is not removing the color like I am asking to program to do?

So it turns out that the exposure was also turne down to -4 and I missed this. Sometimes the answer is right in front of your face but I had
double clicked effect numerous times but somehow this was part of the problem.
I think inially I had the Brush overlay on (which I never use) and then after about an hour of fiddling around I posted the question.
You hit the nail on the head with the Overlay but then when I must have reacctivated the adjustment brush I must have some home
turned the exposure down to -4 and thus when I turned off the overly it was coming up as black.
thank you for all of your help. I have used LR since 2005 and this really rattled my cage.
Cheers

Adjustment brush auto mask broken for 32bit TIFF image

Hello,
I am using Lightroom 4.2 (updated today) on Windows 7 64bit. I have an issue using the adjustment brush with the option "Auto Mask" within a 32 bit TIFF file: the Auto Mask magic there does not work.
I've created 32 bit TIFF files using the "merge to HDR Pro in Photoshop" workflow, where the resulting TIFF is automatically added back to Lightroom. There, I edit the TIFF just in the same way as I edit any other picture in Lightroom. Some of my TIFF files have very clear edges with high contrast. Example:
I assume you agree with me that the adjustment brush Auto Mask must be able to detect this particular edge between the blue sky and the almost black wall of a building. However, when I use the adjustment brush on this edge (no feather, 100 density and flow, show selected mask overlay in green), it does not detect the transition:
When I do the same in one of the RAW pictures that contributed to the TIFF above, Auto Mask works as expected:
I tried this with various edges in various TIFF and RAW files. In the RAW files, basically all edges are detected, while the Auto Mask feature entirely fails in my TIFFs. I've first observed this in Lightroom 4.1. Then I updated to 4.2 which did not change the behavior.
Is there something I can do wrong? Note that in this tutorial: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/the-complete-picture-with-julieanne-kost/quick-tip-creating-32bi t-hdr-images-in-lr-41/ Julieanne Kost is doing exactly this: first she merges a set of pictures to a HDR TIFF and then she uses the adjustment brush with Auto Mask in the resulting TIFF. In the video it looks like the edge detection works properly for her.
Any suggestion is welcome. Thanks!

Auto-mask has great potential, but is not quite there yet...
I'd like to see a little more control - what exactly you are trying to mask, and what not... - ya now: some tolerances/thresholds for color and luminosity and texture... - and maybe the ability to enhance the edges after the fact.

Adjustment brush working in limited parts of the image

The adjustment brush only shows the brush tool on certain parts of the picture. I can start the adjustment in those parts of the picture and move over to the area that needs to be adjusted, but can not start the adjustment from the part of the picture that needs adjusting. How do I get it to be available for the whole picture?

That seems to have been an issue with the last several versions of photoshop.
Turning off open gl (use graphics processor) will make the dot grid display correctly, but at the expense of no open gl functions like 3d.
It could be a nvidia vs amd thing where one graphics card brand doesn't render the dot grid that way, but the other brand does.

Bug in adjustment brush undo

Select Adjustment Brush tool
paint a mask
switch to "Brush: Erase"
paint away some mask
ctrl-z (undo)
tool switches back to "Brush: A" when it should stay on Erase

OS Windows 7 64 bit 8GB
Indeed the same over here.
CTRL-Z does undo the last brush stroke but returns to normal brush and desactivates the pin.
Even without changing of the brush,when CTRL-Z of last brush stroke, the pin is desactivated.

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.

Why don't changes made in camera raw with the adjustment brush carry into photoshop?

Why don't changes made in camera raw with the adjustment brush carry into photoshop?

Using the Open button in ACR to get to PS doesn’t create a PSD or a TIF, it just transfers the image in memory.
As has been asked, already, what are the precise steps of your workflow starting with your painting the adjustment brush strokes in ACR and seeing the image in PS without the strokes, and what exact versions of PS and ACR are you using?
Use Help / About Photoshop..., and Help / About Plug-ins... / Camera Raw...

The adjustment brush is not working

When I select the adjustment brush and paint across the image no changes are made. I have tried moving the sliders to the extremities but no effects to the image are made. It is very frustrating

I have tried moving the sliders to the extremities but no effects to the image are made.
Check to be sure Density and/or Flow are not set to 0.
when I click to create a new pin the small circle or pin is not there as expected
Press H (Hide) key to toggle pin on and off.

Adjustment Brush Question

Is there any way to use the adjustment brush to "paint" an area in black? I see there is the ability to tint areas in other colors but not black. I'd like to be able to isolate my main subject and paint out the background.

It won't work with the colors.
But it works if you set
Exposure: -4
Contrast: 100
Highlights -100
Shadows -100
Saturation - 100
Density 100

Adjustment brushes

I just purchased the current version of lightroom 5. My adjustment brushes were working for my first 10 images, and all of a sudden it stopped. The density is at a 100%, as well as the flow is at 88. I have reset my brushes a few times, as well as closed lightroom. Any suggestions? hELPFUL HINTS.

Do you see the Effect line above the Temp and Tint controls when you click on the Adjustment Brush tool? Click on the double arrow next to the Effect that is shown (Custom in this example) and you should see a list of the available effects.

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.

Grey dot doesn´t appear when using the adjustment brush

In LR5, when I´m using the adjustment brush, the grey circle doesn´t appear. How can I make this dot to appear?
Thank you in advance.

I have just found it!
In the left inferior angle, below the picture I am working with, appears the text "Show Editting dots" (sorry if the text is not exact, I have the spanish version). Then, you have several options (Automatic / Always / Selected / Never). Do select any option but "Never".
Regards

Adjustment brush always showing pink mask instead of adjustment

When I first installed LR2 the adjustment brush worked great. Now when I use it, it always shows the pink mask and not the adjustment. If I press enter the adjustment is made but I can't change or adjust it. Is there a settings reset or do I have something setup wrong? I have tried reinstalling LR2 using repair and it didn't help. Any help and advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Allen

O is the keyboard shortcut for toggling the overlay on/off. If you press the Shift key at the same time you can cycle through alternatives (red, green, white, black).
