Weird glitchy squares appear on image after using Adjustment Brush

in Camera Raw 6.1 (Canon EOS 5D Mark II) and opening in Photoshop CS5. The tetris treatment is then permanent on the image. I originally posted in the Photoshop forum, but they told me to come here. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Can you please send me the image and corresponding XMP file (with your image settings, so I can repro it): [email protected] You can use YouSendIt.com.

Weird blocks on image after using adjustment brush in ACR

A group of people took an online webinar yesterday. The instructor is a heavy Adjustment Brush user, in LightRoom. After taking the class, many of the students in the group are reporting the appearance of weird blocks on images, after using the Adjustment Brush - both in LR and in ACR. It is also happening to me. I am a heavy Photoshop and ACR user - never before have I seen this. The only thing I'm doing differently is using the Adjustment Brush (because of the webinar class, as it was part of the instructor's core teachings). What could be causing this?

There was an adjustment brush bug in older versions of ACR. I first reported it here, and Eric Chan acknowledged the problem. It went away in future releases. Sorry, I can't remember what version numbers were involved.

Black speckles when using adjustment brushes

I'm having an ongoing issue with Lightroom 4.4 when using adjustment brushes in the development module with RAW files from a Canon 5d Mark III Raw on a retina MacBook Pro running OS 10.8.3 When using the adjustment brush to make exposure adjustments, the adjusted area gets covered with tiny black speckles. I see it when trying to darken down highlights or when trying to lighten shadow areas. The heavier the adjustment, the worse the speckles get. I have taken the same original images and opened them in Photoshop and made similar local adjustments with curves and the images look fine, so it's definitely an error with Lightroom inserting the artifacts. Any suggestions?

Turn off the AutoMask checkbox in the brush options.

I need the "highlight" or "red" to be darker when using adjustment brush in lightroom 4?

We can't do darker, but try Shift-O to cycle through other colours.

Using adjustment brush at 100 % image size

I have been using the adjustment brush in ACR ver 8.1 in CS6 & CS6cc. I can use the brush to place the mask but would like to be able to touch up the mask at 100%. This requires that I move the image around using the hand tool, but selecting the hand tool de-selects the pin for the adjustment brush. After moving to a new place in the image, and selecting the adjustment brush, how can I turn on the pin again to touch up the mask?

Duh, head slap here, Jeff. I should have known that! I'm sure that was mentioned in your excellent "Digital Negative" book. A Senior moment I guess. I am enjoying your "Digital Print" book now. Well done Jeff.
Thanks for the reply,

CS4 raw editing, global adjustments versus useing "Adjustment Brush"

I had made a post earlier about CS4's raw editor hanging when working on .cr2 files ( canon). It seems that the raw editor works fine when makeing global adjustments, but when using the adjustment brush to make selective adjustments the program hangs for extended times. A global brightness adjustment will go thru in a couple of seconds at most, where as a photo with a few selective adjustments made to it will hang for as long as 5 minutes or more. Moving the image around is fluid when dealing with a image that does not have selective adjustments, and hangs when dealing with an image that has selective adjustments. The program seems set up to make selective adjustments ( it does have a selective adjustment brush after all ) but useing that option seems to cause such massive problems that it is un usable. The raw editor seems to use 50 to 100% of the proccesor during the hang time, and there is no disk activity which leads me to believe that there is not a problem with not haveing enough ram.
I would appreciate any help that can be given with this problem

First off let me say thank you for your responce. But if what I have been doing is
selective tone adjustments, not HDR
That doesn't change the fact it would be a feature that can enhance the image process none the less.
But not all the images I process are single shot images... I actually take time to scout a spot. Then I take about 3-4 shots at different exposures. Go into Camera Raw and and make different versions(snapshots) of those images. Then create a document for each of those (snapshots) Then I open in a HDR program... NOW Photoshop HDR... and process them. The effect is different than the normal way of converting images into HDR... I think even more precise, or at least in my opinion. So creating a feature like this will give the user the ability to streamline the workflow.
So much of what you described doesn't belong in the HDR plugin, but is already available as tools in ACR or Photoshop itself.
But what about the HDR adjustment brush tool I suggested? That really sounds like a good possibility that people would like to utilize when creating HDR images.

Unable to add further Edits using Adjustment Brush in Lightroom 5.

Using Lightroom 5 - when I go back to a previously edited image to do further editing, using the Adjustment Brush, I open the effect that I want to use ( Dodge, for example) but all the sliders are inoperative. The word 'Dodge (Edited)' appears in the Effects header. Therefore I can't make any further changes to the image. I have opened the drop down Effects menu and ticked 'Restore default presets' but to no avail. Any solutions welcome.

Thank you for that trshaner. The density was set at 100 but flow only 86. I've shoved that up to 100 now and I think we may have a result!
Thanks again.

Cursor is Off When Using Adjustment Brush

Is anyone else having or solved this problem?
In Lighroom 3.5 (all updates installed), when I attempt to use the Adjustment Brush tool, my mouse cursor appears to be off. After choosing the tool, if I click a location on my picture, it acts as if I actually clicked down and to the right roughly and inch. Also, when I move the cursor from the photo back to the tool pane, it "jumps" about the same amount as soon as I cross between the two panes. It's very annoying and renders the brush unusable.
Installed on a recent MBA with Lion.
Any help is greatly appreciated...

Dorin,
I do not think it is a videocard problem. Everything else works fine, no problem. I have used Lightroom under Vista and now I use Windows 7 ultimate. I also used Windows ultimate before the crash. When I use e.g. Google maps and I enlarge the map everything is OK. The problem occurs also when I use the laptop's touchpad.
I do not know what videocard or driver version....
I hope this helps anyway.....

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
Graham

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.

Corrupt (weird?) images after using Safe for web?

Since upgrading to CS4 i noticed that a number of images saved with 'save for web' do not display in a browser? It happens for jpegs as well as gifs, and when i upload them to a server they won't display - not even if i use the direct link to the image. Instead, i see the file-name displayed in firefox. I also noticed that saving the same image with the same save-for-web-setting 2 times gives me a massivee discrepancy in filesize - like 60k for the one, and 1.8mb for the other?
Yesterday i uploaded a 'save-for-web'-image to Twitter, and Twitter told me that "...the image can't be used. Is it animated?" - the weirdest thing about this was that it was a jpeg - ever heard of animated jpegs?!
Anybody else noticed something like this? I've been working with both Photoshop as well as webdesign for more than 10 years, so i can assure you i know what i'm doing. I just don't know what to do about this issue?
Thanks for your help!
Hans

Have you tried trashing your Saving for Web preferences?

How to save appropriate images and then discard the saved images after using.

Hi,
The attached program is used for gesture recognition and playing the corresponding audio file for each recognized pattern. It is saving all the images that are captured and is using in pattern matching. if pattern for "A" is captured ,then almost 10 to 15 intermediate images are captured along with pattern "A". If all are pattern matched then audio file of "A" will be played for 4 or 5 times which is not desirable. Also the images saved in the imaq write folder are getting piled up. They should be discarded after they are used up in pattern matching otherwise it would be a waste of system memory. Can anybody advice in correcting.
Thanking you.

Please note transcript of chat session with Apple support, below:
Chat Transcript
Friday, June 20, 2014 05:20 AM
Duration: 33 minutes 26 seconds
Cynthia:
Thanks for contacting AppleCare chat support. My name is Cynthia, and I'm a Senior Advisor. How can I help you?
Cynthia:
Hello Peter, how are you today?
Peter:
I was told to contact Apple about a problem that Adobe says is being caused by "bugs" in my GPU hardware which is causing horizontal and vertical banding when editing masks in the latest version of Photoshop 2014.
Cynthia:
Thank you for your patience!
Peter:
Okay...
Cynthia:
I am sorry to hear you are having issues with the Adobe. Do you mind if I ask a few more questions for clarification?
Peter:
No, go ahead..
Cynthia:
Are you chatting from the computer with the issue?
Peter:
Yes
Cynthia:
Are you only getting that message when working with Photoshop or with other applications as well?
Peter:
The problem is also showing up in the latest version of Adobe's Lightroom in images that are saved from Photoshop. The distortion is different there. It never happened with the previous versions of either LR, or PS.
Cynthia:
What OS X do you have and have you recently upgraded? Did it work in previous versions of OS X?
Peter:
10.9.3, and yes it worked in the last version(s).
Cynthia:
Are you using upgraded versions of Lightroom and Photoshop? You stated is did not happen in previous versions.
Peter:
Yes, upgraded versions and it never happened with the previous versions.
Cynthia:
Thank you. That helps to narrow it down! It sounds like a compatibility issue. Have you spoke with Adobe about this?
Peter:
Yes, and their lead Photoshop engineer emphatically stated it is a problem with the GPU hardware on the 2013 Mac Pro. Others have written in with the same problem, again, only on the latest Mac Pro.
Cynthia:
I would like to see what I can find on this and once again, I am sorry to hear about this issue! Just a few more minutes, please.
Peter:
Sure..
Cynthia:
Again, thank you for your patience. I have found information on the issue you described from the Adobe support site blogs. They have listed a fix for the issue till a permanent one is found. This is an issue that Adobe will need to fix in their application. For support of their products, we are required by the producers to refer you to them for support. Here is the link: http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2014/01/photoshop-cc-14-2-update-jdi-features-mac-proos- x-10-9-compatibility-and-notable-bug-fixes.html
Cynthia:
Are you able to access that link, Peter?
Cynthia:
My daughter also uses those applications and I thank you for bringing that to my attention!
Peter:
I have the link/article and will read it... It is referring to the last version, not the current one. I have a feeling Cris Cox from Adobe is right, that it in the end might be an Apple problem but I'll see what Adobe has to see about the article.
Cynthia:
I do understand. Please let us know what you do find out. For the moment, I have not found any other fix or work around.
Cynthia:
If you do need to get back with AppleCare, your case number for this issue is ************.
Peter:
Okay, thanks Cynthia! BTW, will I get a copy of this chat to include with my communication with Adobe?
Cynthia:
I will be happy to send that out, it will go out as soon as the chat ends. I thank you again for bringing that to my attention!

How do I expand my images after using a cover flow object?

Let me explain: I used nine images to group them under cover flow (object) and it looks nice on Ibooks Author, but now I want to tap to expand each image as they float and swipe back to revert to initial size.

In short, you'll want to hook into the interaction events fired by the Cover Flow object when manipulated by the user.
Each interaction fires an event. To see the possible events, select the Cover Flow and click the code button and you'll see the events you can intercept in the "Add Event Handler" drop-down menu including:
Did Tap Front Cell
Did Select Cell
Did Focus Cell
Did Begin Swipe
Did End Swipe
Showing a zoomed version of the center (focused) cell will vary based on how you want to present the focused content.
If you want to zoom the focused cell full screen, you can have an offscreen Image View object that you'll display when the appropriate event is triggered and set the image property of the Image View to that same image in the focused Cover Flow cell.
You'll then add a interaction for the zoomed Image View that hides the view when tapped to reveal the Cover Flow for further selection.
Bunch of different ways to do this. Check out the Photo Gallery page in the Space Tours To Mars sample in the iAd Examples folder available for download where you downloaded iAd Producer.
Cheers,

An unwanted white border appears around image after dragging it to the document. Why? How to get rid of border?

Thanks.
Bob

The primary image that I'm concerned with is a jpg file, 74kb, 642x402. Also used same image at 53kb, 400x249.
Here's some good info.
I tried using same image on an old Pages document I made last yr - No border. And - I used an image from the old flyer and put it on the current flyer and - got a Border.
A difference: the flyer I used last yr was a blank document - no template. The current flyer I'm working on is one I chose from the templates with the tear-offs at the bottom for name and phone number.
Is there something intrinsic with this template that creates a border around images?
How do I do a screensnap? If you still need.
Thanks again.
Bob
