Where's the missing graduated filter brush

ACR has the ability to use a brush to finesse a graduated filter. LR doesn't.
Why? According to the team: "As a matter of policy, we cannot add features to Lightroom dot releases."
But part of Creative Cloud membership is "ongoing updates and upgrades when they become available". This is the pitch of CC. CC was to overcome the "no new features in dot releases" BS. All of the other apps do it, and we're to believe only the LR team can't? Nonsense. I'm a subscriber for the reason that we are promised that we don't have to wait for full version number releases. Listen to Adobe's evangelists...it's what they're promising.
What's the real story?

Many users of all any of the apps don't want CC, but Adobe is not offering a choice to them. One wonders if it's a particularly vocal and prolific LR user that doesn't want CC...
Yes, but LR was never part of the original Creative Suite packages that Adobe used to offer prior to CC, unlike all of the other applications they now make available through CC. Same with PS Elements. It's always traditionally been a standalone product. Adobe added it to CC because lots of subscribers complained it wasn't available to them. Different market, different approach.
As I said earlier, it would be nice if it was fully CC compliant from my point of view (and obviously from yours) but it's not and so we'll just have to wait for the next big release. Nothing we can do about it.
I think that the replies you've had do answer your original question.

    As of CC 2014 the filter no longer exists. Several features were removed, some had to with flash as Adobe is supporting html5 over flash. It can still be used in CS6 and CC

  • Why is my Hard disk capacity so low? Where are the missing gbs?

    I have just purchased a mac book pro intel core duo 2ghz 80gb and have happily been instaling and setting up to suit all my needs.
    It is currently showing that I only have 45.3gb of drive space left and that 28.91 gb has been used up already.
    I know that i havent installed this much or even have that many files on it yet. my applications folder shows 4.72 gb in use and my documents folder shows 10.78gb. Theres 1 album so far on my itunes / music folder and nothig in ictures or movies. So where is the missing gbs? I can't believe the os system can be almost 14gb! Any clues?

    Isn't the figure closer to 13? That is about typical.
    To understand why, fire up Utilities > Activity Monitor (System Memory tab) and look at the size of Virtual Memory.
    VM may be 5-8 Gig. That's all space being used on your hard drive by hidden VM files.
    The sleep file may be 2-3 Gig. And then there are various caches that speed up all aspects of the computer.

  • Where is the OIL Paint Filter in CC 2014?  why the heck would they remove it?

    Where is the OIL Paint Filter in CC 2014?  why the heck would they remove it?

    You will find the Oil Painting Filter in Photoshop CC.  It has been taken out of Photoshop CC 2014. 
    So if you have Lightroom Creative Cloud, you should have both Photoshop CC and Photoshop CC 2014. 
    I have been looking for it for 4 days now, and I just found it.  I am so happy.

    Check for any filters that might be applied in the "Public View" - to make sure you are in Public View and not private view click on the "View Responses" tab and if you do NOT see this icon along the bottom right then you are in Public View:
    Also on the View Responses tab check to see if you have any filters applied - see the "Filtered by: First name is Josh" area, if filters are applied you can click "Edit" to view the filters:
    Thanks,

  • Where is the Pan Image filter

    I need to use the Pan Image Effect on a great set of still images and can't find the Pan Image filter. I should have been able to find it under video transforms folder on the Effects Palette.

    I was able to make the pan effect work. It is really poor when compared to stage tools.
    1) the image pixelation is rediculous
    2) the finished result is worse than  rediculous
    3) I took the stage tools and did a horizontal pan at the bottom of the image that would be equalent to about isa small strip along the botton 8000x6200 image at about a scale of600 during the entire process the entire full resolution image was on screen and the little frame moved across the image and the pop up monitor that was provided by stage tools showed the actual path of the frame across that full size image (30" monitor) so you not only saw it in high resolution but it was extremely easy to track especially when following a non irregular line down a winding canyon or river.
    the reason that the stage tools client list reads like the who's who's of motion picture industry is because it's about 100 times better than using the motion effect built into Adobe.

    did you really think that Lucas Films would have been one of the largest users of this plugin if Adobe had the panning capability this does.
    You guys are like trying to think that anything you can't do Adobe directly is silly. Give it a break. I love Adobe I own I think the fact that they encourage outside vendors to create great plugins for Adobe users is brilliant. some how I think you guys have missed the point. Adobe can't even compare with stage tools for panning and zooming. like a difference between a VW bug and a F1 Ferrari it's just rediculous. But don't take my word for it download the stage tools for free like I did and try it. You just won't believe the difference. You need to start with a super quality image though from the Hasselblad website downloads area you should be able to download some 50 or 60 MB files that are like the dimensions shown below:
    http://www.hasselbladusa.com/products/h-system/h4d-60.aspx
    Sensor size: Dalsa 60.1 Mpixels (8956 x 6708 pixels)
    Sensor dimensions: 40.2 mm x 53.7 mm
    Image size: RAW 3FR capture 80 MB on average. TIFF 8 bit: 180 MB
    Where talking Lucas film quality now not 35mm Rebel or D30's

  • Where's the missing font?

    Just imported a Word document I received from someone. It would have been generated in Windows MS Office, probably 2003.
    I've used it to create a Pages template. Got that done OK. But everytime I open a new document from that template I get a document warning about a missing font called "Technical".
    Now the thing is, if I scroll through the entire document every yodh and tittle of text shows as being in one of the fonts on my system. I cannot find anything anywhere that gives me a clue as to the cause of this warning thingy.
    Any ideas?

    Hello
    As it's a template that you built from a Word one, why are you keeping this font in use?
    Change to another one … or buy it !
    Enter Google
    In the search field type
    _Terminal AND font_
    You will see where is the font

  • Missing graduated filter invert mask option since 5.4

    So its been awhile since I used LR and I installed the new update for it just recently. I go to develop some pics and I use the graduated filter often for my style and I setup and try to go and invert mask. Problem, I'm not finding it. All the help links I find say it should be right in the mask editor area. But I'm not finding it! My circular filter has it, just not the other. Why???

    Linear (non-circular) graduated filter has never had an "invert mask" option - only the circular gradient does.
    If you want to invert the linear gradient, just rotate it 180 degrees.

  • Where is the "sort and filter" in numbers?

    I am trying to sort rows using Numbers for iPad. I can sort an entire table by using the Sort function when you highlight a column. However, I am now trying to sort only certain rows, i.e. a sort within a sort, and this is proving ridiculously difficult. I've read this can be done by highlighting and choosing "sort and filter" from the toolbar. However, I don't see this toolbar nor the "sort and filter". Where is it? I see 4 icons in the upper left: info, picture, wrench, and arrows. I'm very frustrated as it seems this should be so easy to do in a spreadsheet application. I appreciate any help!

    The text pop-up menu you read about may have been the Add Filter pop-up menu in the Query HUD (Cmd-F). You can use it to add additional text search boxes to the HUD. You already have one by default in the upper right corner of the HUD.
    That's for searching.
    Again, if what you're trying to do is overlay text on an image, you can't really do that except as I described the previous reply.
    If what you're trying to do is enter text to an image's metadata, you do that in the Metadata Inspector (I).

  • In photoshop CC 2014 where did the oil paint filter go? it is the filter i need for almost every photo

    I cannot find the oil paint filter anymore in the recent version, it is not hidden in the paint galleries. I hope that Adobe did include it otherwise i cant use the updates anymore....

    You ARE going to put it back aren't you?
    Won't happen.
    You'll have to use the just-released 3rd party filter.
    Photoshop: Spring Cleaning | PHOTOSHOP.COM BLOG
    "Oil Paint is a very cool filter, but relied on a very large and complex code library used for an outdated technology (Pixel Bender) that is no longer supported.
    Update/note: It looks like a 3rd party has released a full PixelBender-esque plug-in that will work in CC. Haven’t tried it myself, but may interest those who liked Oil Paint and PixelBender: http://aescripts.com/pixel-bender-accelerator-for-photoshop/"

  • Where is the location for filter plugin dialog in AI CS4?

    Hello All,
    Im using CS4. In CS4 SDK sample projects, "Tutorial" is a filter type plugin and I want to test this plugin.
    Project is compiled fine and plugin created. Placed this plugin in plugins folder of AI.
    and then started AI. The Tutorial plugin is showing under Object -> Filter -> SDK -> Tutorial
    I have clicked on "Tutorial" plugin in filters menu. A dialog is opened. set the some parameters in the UI and then clicked on OK.
    The dialog is disappeared after OK button clicked.
    now, how can I get the same ("Tutorial") dialog again? Where can I see the "Tutorial" dialog in AI?
    Just like if we apply a 3d Rotate effect, then the 3D Rotate effect dialog is visible under Appearance Panel. If we want to change the settings, we can click on "3D Rotate" in Appearance panel, then 3D Rotate dialog will be opned.
    Please tell me.
    - mind

    Depending on what your filter does (namely, if it leaves an effect or if it just modifies the art) it may leave an entry in the Appearance panel. This is usually for 'Effects' not filters though the distinction is a little blurry. One of the reasons they took out the Filters menu in CS4 is because most 'filters' were in fact just art operations and better suited to be placed as menuitems in more appropriate places. Effects are really bits of code that get fired when necessary on art to modify their representation on the page based on parameters.
    If you're just doing something to art once (like simplifying the art, or reflecting the art) then you're not an effect. If that's the case, you can just create a menuitem anywhere you feel is right if you don't want to be locked into Object > Filter. Being a filter doesn't actually give you much advantage anymore. You might just want to create a menuitem, respond to it and do your work. Filters come with baggage like filter parameters and 'fire last filter' and whatnot, and frankly, that's being phased out. Its more a Photoshop concept shoehorned into Illustrator.
