Target Adjustment Tool Not Working in 2.3RC

Hi everyone,
Working with 2.3RC...I've just tried the TAT in the HSL panel and it's not responding. The sliders work but the TAT is inoperable.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Any thoughts!
Core 2 Duo T7700
2GB RAM
WinXP SP3
Cheers!

I'm on a New MacBook Pro. At first the TAT seemed not to work for me, sliding up and down and then with a little sideways, left/right motion the TAT worked.
Kind of on again off again.

Targeted Adjustment Tool in Camera Raw 5.2

Thanks Tom for the Targeted Adjustment Tool it works great.
Where can I find documentation on the SNAPSHOT function?

The keyboard shortcuts are:
Cmd-Option-Shift T switches to parametric curve TAT
Cmd-Option-Shift H switches to Hue TAT
Cmd-Option-Shift S switches to Saturation TAT
Cmd-Option-Shift L switches to Luminance TAT
Cmd-Option-Shift G switches to Grayscale mixer TAT
If youre on Windows, replace Cmd with Control and Option with Alt.
Click on the TAT tool and unless you are specifically got the HSL/Grayscale panel open, the default TAT will be Parametric Curves. Click in an area in the image with TAT the active tool and whatever the targets tonality will go up/down depending on whether you move the morse up/down.
Switch to HSL panel and the target will be whatever sub-panel is active: Hue, Saturation or Lightness. The TAT works the same what in HSL, click in the image and drag up/down to adjust the targeted color.
Other than that, it's practice...
Oh, and it'll be covered in depth in RWCRCS4 (which is why it's late...so i could be sure of including the Camera Raw 5.2 update throughout the book).

Target adjustment tool Menu does not appear

Hello
I use ACR 7.1 and I have a problem with this tool : when I clic on this icon on the top tools bar I have no menu I should get a menu with parametric curves hue saturation luminance but nothing. Of course I could use the HSL part on the right interface but I would like to know why my ACR behaviour is not has it should be.Thanks

Thanks for answer but it is not what i meant: what I said is I have no dropdown menu when I clic on Target adjustment tool icon
Uh huh...didn't I mention the fact that by default when you click on TAT you get Parametric Curves by defatult (and no, it doesn't change to the the panel, by design). If you want HSL or Grayscale you need to click on the panel to switch from curves...
You would be better off learning the actual behavior...

Beginner Question- Unable to Use Eyedropper and Targeted Adjustment Tools

When trying to use the eyedropper or targeted adjustment tools (in the HSL menu), I will grab the tool and hover over my photo and my cursor changes to the magnifying glass. When using the eyedropper the preview will reflect the white balance but when I click my photo is enlarged instead of using the tool. Help please! I know there must be a simple answer, I am just a first time user of Lightroom (previously used Bridge/Camera RAW) and am getting very frustrated. Many thanks

Yes. I've seen the same glitch occur on Mac. Not sure what is happening, but I agree, it is maddening. I stumbled upon a solution that works for me:
Press the Q key (cursor changes to the Healing Brush)
Press the W key (should now change to Eyedropper-White Balance tool)
Now the Eyedropper may work again.
I know right? Doesn't make sense, but whatever has happened to cause the Eyedropper to not work but instead bring up the Magnify tool, this sequence seems to bump it out of the glitch -- at least it's working for me.
Hope that helps.

(BUG with) - Targeted Adjustment Tool

The Targeted Adjustment tool will stop functioning after I use the magnifier.
When I attempt to use the tool, it only functions as a magnify glass.
When I quit Lightroom and relaunch it, it restores the Targeted Adjustment tool back to a functioning state.
One thing that may be triggering the bug is that I often use the photoshop keyboard commands for magnify +/- out of my 15 year habit with that tool, and it works in Lightroom too, but is this causing the Targeted Adjustment tool to suffer?

I think I also see this now (and a work-around).
I did the following:
1. Open Lightroom and go to Develop.
2. Select the Target Adjustment Tool (like tone curve).
3. Press (and hold) Spacebar, while holding that down, press (and hold) command
4. Click to zoom in.
5. Release the spacebar, then release the command. The cursor still shows a hand with the move-around and zoom functionality. Clicking the Target Adjustment circle in the Tone Curve box does not restore adjustment functionality.
Workaround:
6. Now press (and release) Spacebar. The target adjustment works now.
It appears that Lightroom does not recognize any spacebar commands while the command key is being held down. I can't enter zoom mode by holding command and then holding spacebar, and I can't exit zoom mode by releasing spacebar while command is down. In this case, it seems that pressing and releasing spacebar afterwards (when command is not down) sends the "spacebar-up" command and Lightroom gets out of the zoom mode.
Note that I can't get this to happen with any other ordering of presses/releases.
Does this help? I agree that this definitely is a bug. Now that we've narrowed it down, how do we forward this on to Adobe? Is someone reading this that can forward this on?

Creative cloud photoshop blur tool not work as it should be

creative cloud photoshop blur tool not work as it should be !
I go to blur a painting i am doing and it does not blur enough and I am using wacom Intuos 5 med pen tablet.
and I even set the tablets sensitivty for pressure lower then default and still not getting the blur tool to do its job.
I even adjusted the brush settings too to be able to blur even more on hard settings, still nothing.
at least it not bluring enough to see any major changes.
the only way i can blur anything is by using the fliters blur or the brushes ( mixer brush ) settings to mix colors and do it that way.
(note) I will not post my systems specs sorry I don't do that and even the tech from adobe said I do not have to. and so I wont !
just need advise not to share system specs.
and thats what this forums board is for getting advice and read what others say about the issue at hand.
it's not to post or share system specs !!!
so with that out of the way I need advice only please ?

Hi,
It might be your image is too big in terms of pixel dimensions for the blur tool to work well.
If you zoom to 100% do you see any change when using the blur tool?
What are the pixel dimensions of the image?
(Image>Image Size)
If you try a small image, does the blur tool work?
What about when you use the mouse instead of your tablet?
Can you at least tell us what operating system and version of photoshop your using?

Targeted Adjustment Tool

I'm new to PS, so please bear with me. When I click on the targed adjustment tool (in hue/saturation adjustment layer) and then try and click on something, for ex. teeth, everything disappears and the cursor goes to the bottom right corner (show desktop). When I slide the cursor back up everything comes back up when I try and do it again the same thing happens. I've tried multiple times and just can't seem to get it to work. Any ideas?

Here's a suggestion that might help. Give the mouse a rest and use keyboard shortcuts.
In the Develop module use the Z key to toggle your zoom view. Then use shortcuts to enable/disable a TAT tool (e.g. Ctrl+Shift+Alt+S to enable the saturation TAT and Ctrl+Shift+Alt+N to disable TAT). While a targeted adjustment tool is active the Z key can be used to zoom.
Also, when a TAT is active hit the space bar to temporarily change the TAT into the zoom tool.

Target Adjustment Tool Disappears?

When I activate the Target Adjustment Tool in Develop it disappears from view. I'm using Lightroom 5 v 5.4 in Windows 7. The tool appears to work but you can't see where you are dragging it to and from.Does anyone have any suggestions please on the best way to fix this? I have tried opening a new catalogue but still have the same problem.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Many thanks .

Target Adjustment Tool

I am using CS5 12.0.4 64 bit, Vista OS. The targeted adjustment tool lightens/darkens the entire photo instead of just the area targeted. Don't know if tool ever worked because I never tried to target one area before. Thank you for any help. Maryann

That is the way it works in many adjustment panels. It is somewhat different in saturation panel and others.
But levels, curves, others affect the entire image, that is one of the main uses of masks, to limit the effect of these tools to certain areas of the image..
Half the fun is learning the application, but it is a broad and steep curve.
lots of luck.

Adjustment panel and the Targeted Adjustment Tool

I have assigned the F3 key to toggle the display of the Adjustments panel. However, whenever I have an adjustment that includes the Targeted Adjustment Tool (such as curves) the F3 key activates the TAT rather than dismissing the Adjustment panel. I have to move to a non-TAT adjustment to allow F3 to dismiss the Adjustment panel. In fact, any Fn key will activate the TAT rather than it's assigned keyboard action. Is this normal behaviour? If so, it's most annoying.

No one else seeing this problem? It does not happen in CS4.
I'm guessing the "bug" appeared after I had set the Auto-Select Targeted Adjustment Tool. I have since removed the Auto-Select feature but now any Fn key will select the TAT rather than dismiss the Adjustment panel. You have to move to an adjustment without a TAT for the Fn key to dismiss the Adjustment panel. Definitely a workflow annoyance.

ACR 5.2 Targeted Adjustment Tool has no drop down menu

Hello
I've just started playing with Camera Raw 5.2 and I cannot get a drop down menu for the targeted adjustment tool. When I click on it the icon remains "depressed" and I enter the tone mode. In order to get to the other modes, I have to move to the appropriate tab.
I guess I could use the key board short-cuts but I would like to know why I don't get a drop down menu.
Geoffrey Pocock

How amazingly simple - just a bit strange as drop-down menus usually appear on a single click - thank you very much
