Why can't the adjustment brush add color to white/highlights?

I recently tried to use the adjustment brush to add som color to white/highlights, without success . I have learned that the color chosen for the adjustment brush will mix with the underlaying colors. The surrounding areas were colored as expected, however apperently no effect on the white/blown highlights. Am I doing anything wrong?

I did this in LR. There's no detail at all in the window with or without Recovery set to 100.Here Recovery is set to 0.

  • How do you make the colour tone of the adjustment brush in camera raw white?

    I am using Camera Raw (Version7.0.0.308) in CS6. The adjustment brush does not have a slider for the colour tone but jumps from blue to yellow with the +, - keys. How do I set it to white? Currently all my adjustment come out either with a yellow tone or a blue tone.

    Hi,
    I would update to camera raw 7.4 and install any other updates that show when using Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6.
    Then check if you have the same issue.

  • I'm using Lightroom cc, I'm trying to create a develop preset. I'm making changes to one photo that I want to apply to many other photos, one of the changes is to blur the background using the adjustment brush. When I am blurring I am going over the photo

    I'm using Lightroom cc, I'm trying to create a develop preset. I'm making changes to one photo that I want to apply to many other photos, one of the changes is to blur the background using the adjustment brush. When I am blurring I am going over the photo several times, when I go to create the preset the adjustment brush is not an option to check. How do I add the adjustment brush to the develop presets. Thanks Ron.

    The adjustment brush cannot be added to a develop preset.
    If you can replace the adjustment brush with a gradient filter or radial filter, you can add those to a dev preset.
    If a gradient filter or radial filter is not an option for you, you can at least create an adjustment preset to remember your brush settings.

  • Is it possible to move the adjustment brush dot?

    A lot of times i find the adjustment brush dot to be in my way when judging the result.
    Say i zoom in and brighten up the eye on a model.
    Then I want to zoom out to se what it looks like and the dot covers half the face of the model.
    Of course i can click the adjustment brush again in order to go out of the adjustment brush tool but then i cant adjust settings at the same time.
    I can also hide the dots but that's not really what I want to do as I'm shifting between them making different fine adjustment.
    I don't mind the dots when judging the picture but I just don't want it in say, the middle of the eye.
    The workaround I'm using is to get a new adjustment brush, set the flow to lowest value, click where I want the dot (usually at the same height as the eye but outside the model), then i pull flow up again and paint on the eye.
    Is it possible to get the same result as I want without having to do my workaround using the flow setting?

    It's not possible to move it and your workaround seems like a lot of work, especially when all you need do is hit the H key to hide then again to make visible. Also, it's not clear to me why hiding the pin doesn't solve your problem.

  • In Camera RAW when I use the adjustment brush, erase, then go back to the brush I can't adjust the DENSITY. I have to use the brush, then delete it, then the density is available. Thanks for any help!

     

    I am using ACR 8.6 hosted by Photoshop CC 2014.2.0 with Windows 7 Pro SP1, and am not seeing any issue with Adjustment Brush sliders.
    I am opening a new image in ACR and click the Adjustment Brush toolbar icon, then adjust the Exposure slider up then making some strokes, then click Erase, and remove some parts of the strokes, then click Add, and can make more strokes as well as adjust all the sliders, including Density.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

  • Why can't I adjust the scale of my text by clicking and dragging the corner boxes?

    Why can't I adjust the scale of my text by clicking and dragging the corner boxes? Why I have the text selected, all it does it let me highlight it to change font, size, etc, OR all I can do is move it throughout the artboard. Why can I click and drag the corner box to adjust?

    It's because you have a paragraph text box and it doesn't automatically resize text. This way you can change the margins of the text without resizing it which is how paragraph text functions by default.
    I'm not seeing the new text paragraph/area indicator on your text box, which is what you get in Illustrator CC, so the only way to convert this text so you can resize it by dragging on the corners is to copy the text, deselect the text box, use the text tool to click once in another part of your document, and then paste the text. The text will then come into your document as one long line if you don't have hard returns in it, but after reflowing the text manually you'll be able to drag the corners to resize the text.
    I would recommend not going this route as any text you remove from the area type means that the rest of the text has to be manually adjusted to maintain correct margins. Instead just resize the bounds of the paragraph text and adjust the size of the font in the Character panel.

  • Why can I not adjust the volume on a video when accessed from the lock screen

    Why can I not adjust the volume of a video in my pictures folder, when accessed from the new lock screen option?

    There is no way to access videos directly from the lock screen.

  • 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.

    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)

  • Why do I get artifacts when using the adjustment brush to increase or decrease exposure?

    When using the adjustment brush to darken a background I get  white or light colored artifacts.   When using the brush to lighten the eyes of a person I get brown artifacts that look like freckles in the area of adjustment.  That didn't happen in LR 3.

    Here are the screen shots with the original, with Auto Mask on and without Auto Mask.
    Thanks to C. Frans W  for the suggestion of it being an Auto Mask issue.
    Dorin,  if you have any other comments, I would welcome them.
    If C. Frans W  has additional comments those are welcome also.

  • Hi! I have a problem with the adjustment brush some are not there anymore like soften skin, how i can fix that?

    Hi! I have a problem with the adjustment brush some are not there anymore like soften skin, how i can fix that?

    Hi dear,
    it's funny, real funny.
    I think the programmes have diffrent sound system from the normal calls system.
    All you need to do is to turn the sound up from the bottom in the phone side in the time you're making or recieving the call.
    you'll hear the sound.
    I hope that would help.
    All the best

  • Why am I getting Artifacts when I use the Adjustment Brush to Lighten or Darken?

    I get artifacts when I lighten (dark specks) or darken (white specks) when I use the adjustment brush to adjust exposure on my photos.   Any ideas why this is happening?  It would seem to be a big enough bug to get noticed and promptly fixed, unless I am doing something wrong.

    Richard,
    Try turning off Auto Mask in the brush panel:
