The Adjustment Brush in Bridge

Has the "auto mask" and "show mask" option disappeared in this version or am I just missing it?

In Bridge? Do you mean Camera Raw? The Show Mask option and Auto Mask are there for me in ACR 7.

How do I use the adjustment brush to mask and not turn my item green?

I have shot some products for my web site. I need completely white backgrounds. I have tried to mask the product and lighten the whites, but when I click done, my product has turned very green.
Why? How do you use the brush? Also, where is the invert to make this easier on me?
Kind of urgent, I need to get these items on my site already.
I know the answer is simple... I just don't know what it is.
Thanks

Have you tried without the adjustment brush, by simply adjusting white balance from the basic tab in develop?
Click on the eye dropper tool and then click on a neutral gray color. Use the background if it is neutral rather than white. You may need to keep selecting the eye dropper to click in a few different places for best results.
If you decide to use the adjustment brush you can show or hide the mask. Uncheck the mask when you have finished painting; then use the sliders, starting with tint and temperature.

New to the Adjustment Brush Tool...HELP!

Hello! I am fairly new to Lightroom, and the Adjustment Brush tool specifically, and I am having some problems with it! I have watched tons of tutorials on using it, and it seems relatively easy...although when I go into my program and attempt to use it, nothing happens to my photo...say if I wanted to adjust the exposure on the face of an individual, I will go in and select the tool, decrease the exposure, make the brush and feather the size I want it, and when I go to "paint" the area I want altered, nothing happens? The pins appear as if to show me that's where I started, but then no change happens to the area I attempted to paint. Do I need to select something somewhere to be able to actually use the brush to paint? Any help is appreciated!! Thank you!!

First, verify that you have painted something. At the bottom is an option that says "Show Selected Mask Overlay", enable this. It will show the area you have painted so far.
If you see pink appear, this is where you have painted so far. Try changing your adjustments more drastically (i.e. move sliders all the way one direction or another). If you see the effect appear, dial things back until you have what you want.
If you do not see pink appear, make sure your Flow and Density sliders are up. This act like opacity, so if they are too low, you aren't laying down much "paint" with your brush.

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.

In camera raw, I am no longer able to use the adjustment brush. This is a recent phenomenon.?

In camera raw, I am no longer able to use the adjustment brush. This is a recent phenomenon.

Well, it worked fine for me as well for the past couple of years. I had not had any problems using it for the past few years. I use a Mac OS X Yosemite. As far as I can tell nothing had changed. I had not added any new updates, and a week ago the adjustment brush in camera raw simply ceased working. Everything else in camera raw works. However, the adjustment brush is a critical tool. I have checked my permissions, and even repaired my permissions with no results. Of course I have also tried several restarts to no avail.

Trying to turn the background black and white in lightroom 5. Using the adjustment brush. It isn't working.

Set Flow and Density of the brush to 100
Reduce it where you want the effect to blend.

Has anyone experienced a problem with the adjustment brush since last update (for Mac) last week?

Following an update to Lightroom on my Mac Pro work station last Friday: when I apply my adjustment brush to an area in an image, a faint box encompassing a much larger area than the size of my brush appears (extends well beyond the area I've identified with my brush and is clearly a large square shape). When I release my mouse, the adjustment I've made affects my entire image. I had no issues with adjustment brush prior to the update. I've been on the phone with Adobe support (no help). Have uninstalled/reinstalled Lightroom several times (no help). Adobe directed me to Apple (recommend use of Time Machine to date before Lightroom update came through). To ensure it's an isolated bug, I checked my MacBook Pro. Worked fine without update; I let update come through and find the adjustment brush "bug" is intermittent. When it occurs, however, I always see the larger "box" area, and the adjustment brush ultimately affects my entire image.
Anyone else experiencing this? Adobe support insists it's a Mac issue. Thanks!

Same problem (rectangular areas) + others under Windows. The adjustment brush and the clone / heal tool have been totally broken in LR 3.2. You're not alone. See this thread. I have filed a bug report. No answer until now.

I have imported a color picture and trying to use the adjustment brush to turn the background black and white and it isn't working. I have Lightroom 5. Any suggestions?

Hello - I have Lightroom 5. I have imported a color photo. I am trying to use the Adjustment Brush to change the background to Black and White and leave a portion of the photo in color. When I begin painting the photo with the Saturation at -100 I don't see any changes to the photo. I push the "O" key and still nothing. I have tried to reset the photo, restarted Lightroom and still nothing. Please help.

No pin for the Adjustment Brush

New photo imported into LR4, applied adjustment brush and noticed there was no pin or anchor point for the brush. What happend to the pin? Closed the panel. Then opened the adjustment brush again and previous adjustment brush pin is not there - I can't edit previous adjustment brush. I tried the gradient tool and it places the pin allowing edits, but I get no pin for the adjustment brush. All else seems to be working ok, all beit a bit slow.
I've tried this multiple times on different images and I never get a pin for the adjustment brush. I even tried this on a dng file from LR3 with the same result - no pin.

No worries ... I think EVERY keyboard has a mind of it's own at times ...

Something very strange is happening with the adjustment brush

When I brush over an area of a photo with the adjustment brush, LR does not select all of the area I brushed over, regardless how many times I go over it. The unselected spots look like pepper sprinkled on mashed potatoes, small dots that will not select, and so will not do whatever effect I'm trying to do. Like if I brush a hillside, the little dots will appear (apparently randomly) If I change the color temp the selected area changes like it should but the little specks do not change. LR will not select them. Please help.

Sorry, not the right answer. But thankx for taking a shot. According to
Adobe LR does not have enough pixels when I'm working on a macro subject
(say a butterfly that I'm trying to work on at 2x in the navigator) there
just are not enough pixels. So I have to transfer projects that deal with
micro subject into PS, PS had no problem detecting the holed and filling
them in, what I've got to do is select using the magic pen or whatever
works best and then make adjustments to the selection. We do that, no
problem. Then back to LR for larger more general adjustments. I have no
idea why, WHY Adobe would have two programs that work so closely together
and yet not have identical selection abilities. That's a mistake in my book.

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...

In Camera raw setting of CS6, using the adjustment brush, the new, add or erase buttons do not work. Please advise.

What operating system are you using?
Which version of camera raw do you have in photoshop cs6?
After you select the Adjustment Brush, the New button should already be enabled.
Then after you draw on an area of the image, the Add button should be enabled, with the option to choose either of the other two buttons; New or Erase
Could you post a screenshot?
Maybe all the adjustment values are set to zero?
(at least one needs to have a value other than zero)

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.

How can the adjustment brushes in lightroom 3 be fixed?

I have no idea how this works. The adjustment brush in lightroom 3 has stopped working. Using a mac. Customer support said if I pay $39 they might be able to fix the problem, but its better to ask on the forums. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

A quick guess or two, since you haven't really explained the symptoms.
Are your Flow and Density sliders set to something reasonable?
Try hitting the H (for hide) key.
Is the Size slider set to something large enough?
I'll only charge you $25.

I think it means "the sliders are all 0 so painting adjustments with this brush won't change anything." In other words, move one of the sliders to a non-zero position, for example Exposure from 0 to 1.0, and then see what happens. You can edit the brush and change it to do something other than Exposure +1.
