Spot removal tool should do more than spots.

Should have a tool just like the clone stamp or healing brush within Lightroom.

Yes! Yes! Yes! That one feature I would like more than any other. And if it would clone from one photo to another that would be even better.

  • 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.

  • Date Control should highlight more than one range of dates in a month.

    Hi All,
    Date Control should highlight more than one range of dates in a month.We are creating a web interface for PR01 ( Travel Management Module ) , in a month a traveller can have more than 2 trips and we need to highlight all the travel date ranges in the Web DynPro date range control.
    Thanks & Regards
    Gaurav Jain

    Hi Thomas,
       I used DateNavigatorLegend and DateNavigatorMarking and did not give any default value or context mapping to the DateNavigator element.
      The DateNavigator is now highlighting only the first dates of the ranges that I have created in the WDDOINIT method.The DateNavigatorMarking takes only one date not 2 dates in the properties So kindly suggest how to display multiple date ranges.
    Thanks & Regards

  • "Manage Playlists" function should do more than just edit tra

    The ZEN V Series Media Explorer was poorly designed. The "Manage Playlists" function should do more than just edit the tracks in a playlist; it should also be possible to rename or delete a playlist.

    Create your design on one or more  master slides:    View > Edit Master Slide
    delete unwanted master
    then save as a Theme:    File > Save Theme

  • Can BO universe design tool read from more than one data source

    Hi Experts
    can I add personal data (from excel or Text) on a designer that is connected to relational Database
    can we combine more than one universe from different data sources to do so
    Please advise
    thanks all

    Thanks for reply
    I tried the linked universe concept but it is not working when I read in this topic in the universe design tool guide it indicated that
    both universes should have the same database I cote from this book
    ("The core universe and derived universe use the same data account, or database, and the same
    RDBMS.")
    I also checked in the designer help it says the same condition
    If you have idea how to do so please send me the steps
    thanks

  • How to remove calendar syncing with more than one calendar?

    I have no idea how I did it, but my Blackberry Curve 8310 somehow synced with TWO calendars.  I always had it syncing with my Outlook one and that still works fine, but somehow it also synced to my Hotmail calendar somewhere along the way - but I haven't used that calendar in a very long time and don't even use my Hotmail account anymore, so it's just confusing everything.  I never meant to tell it to sync to that one and for the life of me I can't figure out how to get it to remove all that calendar info that it added!  Can someone help with instructions?  I'm fairly technically savvy, I just can't figure out how to do it on my own.

    Do you want to remove the hotmail account all together? If so you can delete it from either your carrier's BIS page, or from the personal email setup icon on your device.
    If you just want to remove the calendar try going to Options | Advanced Options | Service Book. Find your Hotmail account's CICAL service book and delete it

  • Data Merge - Not removing blank lines when more than one in a row

    I am having the same problem as mentioned here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2109531#2109531  That post is for some reason set as "answered" though the poster said the latest update did not resolve the issue.  Has anyone found a solution to this issue?
    Thanks much,

    I"d suggest you try running the merge WITHOUT removing blank lines, then use  GREP to remove empty paragraphs. There's a pre-written saved query in the list.

  • Copy and Paste should enter more than just 'Paste Settings' in the History list.

    It would be nice if you could actually copy and paste (or Sync) the actual sequential history list from one pic to another. I find myself needing to look at the History list fairly often (to see what changes I made) and it is much too vague to only see 'Paste Settings' appearing in the History list.
    Ideally the pasted list would weed out all trial and error entries and cleanly list only the final settings.

    The contacts must exist in the address book that you create the mailing list in.
    After that make sure the Directory pane is turned on and showing in the address book window. If it is not showing, from the menu bar select View-Layout-Directory Pane
    Click on the address book so its contacts are showing in the main window
    You should see the Mail List as a subfolder of the address book. If not, click the small pointer beside the book to expand the view.
    Now find and select the contacts for the mail list and then drag and drop them on the mailing list folder to add them to the list.

  • Constraint for insertion in a table if inserted rows should not more than 2

    Problem: A Teacher only can assigned for maximum 2 Subjects in the same class Standard.
    actually i want to create a table like following
    create table teaches
    teacherid int,
    standard varchar(10),
    subjectcode varchar(10),
    constraint cpk_teaches primary key(teacherid, standard, subjectcode)
    and i want that when any data inserted in the table,
    a constraint will work in the manner that there is
    NO POSSIBILITY TO INSERT the data for
    (teacherid, standard) columns THRICE (3rd time)
    actually i want that only maximum of 2 different data will insert in
    (subjectcode) for the same (teacherid, standard)

    Thanks for the suggestion,
    But, my original problem remains on the same stage.
    Actually this table has all the keys as foreign key of other tables.
    Why?, is not necessary this time.
    If you don't mind kindly give me the code of constraint, if any to solve my problem.
    Problem: I want to insert only maximum of two different Subjects for same Teacher and Standard and not more.
    In real life like following.
    Mr. TCHR-1 is teaching subject SUB-1 in standard STD-1.
    Mr. TCHR-1 is teaching subject SUB-2 in standard STD-1.
    But, can't Mr. TCHR-1 is teaching subject SUB-3 in standard STD-1.
    My table structure is not in the state of changing due to some reasons.
    It is, as previously described.
    create table teaches
    tchrid int,
    std varchar(10),
    subcode varchar(10),
    constraint cpk_teaches primary key(tchrid, subcode, std)
    )

  • How to Remove the Catalogs in More than One language

    Hi Experts,
    We find that there are code groups for Calalogs in 2 languages in the QPGT Table with same names.Can anyone tell how to make one as inactive or delete them.
    While seeing through QS42 or via Config we cannot see the 2 set of codes.

    Edited by: Manish Chachra on Dec 9, 2008 6:52 AM

    Hi Manish,
    There is no need to delete/inactive those entres.
    It is the funtionality provided by SAP to store the short texts for catalog in multiple languages.
    If you go to QS42 transaction with another language key selected during login.  You can find another language short text.

  • Can you use more than transformation in a smart object in the timeline, ie for tweening?

    I know I can use transformation, but ideally I wish to 'distort' the pixels within a selection without changing the boundary, say with the liquify tool.
    If you can't do this, maybe Adobe can consider this feature for future release, ie giving greater manipulation control when tweening in a smart object layer in the timeline.

  • Need to consider UNIX Path more than 40 Chars in a FM

    Can anyone suggest me a way where we can have a list of all UNIX directories, when UNIX path is given. I know a FM SUBST_GET_FILE_LIST which serves this purpose. But it accepts only 40 chars for UNIX path. But it should be more than 40 characters serving the same purpose.
    Kindly suggest me a way.
    Thanks in advance.
    Sunil

    Yes, it is the limitation of the Smartform - to be only able to print 255 characters.
    There is a simple workaround:
    Try to print the parts of the variable.
    Like:
    &W_VAR+0(255)&
    &W_VAR+255(255)&
