Basic adjustment Brush Questions

With the adjustment brush, I paint on the area I want to affect. Why might I add pins to different parts of the image?

I want to paint a saturation on certain parts of my image. How to paint a saturation increase without affecting exposure, brightness, contrast, etc. I just need to make sure that these settings are 0?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, leave all the settings to zero other than those, you want to apply to a particular part of the image. So, with your example, all must be zero set apart from the saturation parameter, which could be to say + 20.

Not quite sure what you mean on the pins. a watch pin where you started to brush a fit, and you can of course apply multiple adjustments to areas of an image with different types of adjustment brushes, then you might need paint in this saturation you mention on a part of an image, but may need to bump up the contrast in another part of the same image using another ('News') the brush. Every time that you start with a brush, a PIN is added to the point where you start to apply the effect. You can later see what areas a particular brush affects by clicking the pin - the painted area will be highlighted in red.

I spent some time reading about Camera Raw if I were you. In my humble OPINION, one of the best resources is the Schewe, book of Fraser "Real World Camera Raw", but there are a lot of tutorials on the web.

Hope this helps

  • Re question. Adjustment brush

    I use LR5 on your laptop and need much zoom in on an image.

    When you use the adjustment brush I frequently need to reposition the bar using the cross browser area, so that I can pin point on a area to work. However, this can be blindly, especially the largest I have zoom, IE 8:1.

    Is there an easier way to do this?

    Thank you

    Hi pfmarconi,

    You can press the space key to activate the zoom tool temporarily and click with the mouse that would zoom in on the image, and you can move the image with the key space key.

    Kind regards

  • Question Lightroom 2.4 adjustment brush

    I currently use Windows XP home and Lightroom 2.4 implemented to date in the last two weeks. When I use the adjustment brush it creates the lith Ruby mask on the image and dose not show all interactive direct adjustment as I saw it on a large number of online tutorials. Only after I clicked the close button or the adjustment brush are the changes. Then I have to reselect the adjustment brush click the appropriate PIN and get the same Ruby lith mask and repeat the process over and over again to achieve the results I want.  I have version 2.2 original on my laptop than computer works according to the tutorials. Indications as to where I'm wrong would be welcome.

    Press "o" to switch between the display of the red mask and the effect.

  • Lightroom CC - problems with the adjustment brush and stain

    Weird question:

    Lightroom CC

    When you attempt to change a series of photos in the develop module I have problems with Lightroom gel. More precisely if I use the spot removal or adjustment brushes after two or three images, I find myself with a progress indicator of spinning at the bottom right of the image and the screen shows part of the image strong and part of the blurred image (as when loading an image is). It seems that no amount of waiting will lead to progress. All I can do is quit Lightroom and restart. But after a few images that the same thing is happening.

    If anyone else has experienced this?

    TIA.

  • How to increase or decrease the effect of an adjustment brush in Lightroom CC? In Lightroom 5, I could hover over the PIN and drag the two-way arrow left or right. This feature seems to have disappeared in the CC version.

    How to increase or decrease the effect of an adjustment brush in Lightroom CC? In Lightroom 5, I could hover over the PIN and drag the two-way arrow left or right. This feature seems to have disappeared in the CC version.

    I'll answer one of your three messages that asked this question.  If possible, please remove the other two.

    Hover and dragging moves the axis as it should.  The cursor turns into a hand to indicate the area brushed, it moves.

    Hover over the pin code, press the Alt/Opt key and drag left and right and the effect will become less and more.   The cursor turns into a two-headed arrow to indicate that the function of the drag has changed.  If you are not hovering over a pin code and press the Alt/Opt, then the cursor turns into a brush to erase to remove the adjustment every time you paint.

    Are you sure that the activation of the tool? What happens when you click on the image in the main window? When you click on the off/on power tool you should see a pin code? It seems that you might have in the basic Panel.

    I'm changing the clarity and exposure with the adjustment brush. He keeps putting in color where I placed the brush. I don't want to add color only the above parameters. How can I stop it put color where I used the brush?  Use lightroom 4.3

    Hi kohlermaui,

    You can consult the following adjustment brush in Lightroom: temperature, tint, Saturation and color?

    If they are different from what you see in the base Panel, then they would be the cause. Try to play with all parameters that are not defined in the middle position, or are different from those of your basic settings:

  • Why my adjustment brush does not disappear in the center of my photo?

    I've recently upgraded from a PC to a MacBook Air and find that my adjustment brush is not working properly. Note: I have not upgraded to version 4.3 on my PC, so this may indeed be the question.

    With this in mind, my adjustment brush appear on the edges of all my photos, however, if I try to use it in the middle of my picture it does not and does not work if I want my cursor down. However, if I start on the edge and then move to the Center it works. No one knows how to fix this problem, so I can use the brush where I want on photography?

    Thank you!

    Could be due to a corrupted preferences file. This file can go 'funny' and is then responsible for all types of strange behavior of Lr. The repair is to replace the preferences file.

  • How to get back to changes in adjustment brush?

    I use LR 4.2 and I have a question about non-destructive Editor, specifically the use of the adjustment brushes.  After that I work with an adjustment brush and then continue with my editing that I can't figure out how to make the settings for which was darn earlier on the adjustment brush area.  With all the other editing features, I can change something, and then later make a change.  For example, I can put 10 highlights and then later I can change bulleted highlights-15 and then later change it to something else.  With things, I did with brushes of adjustment well that I did not understand the technique to do.  If I select adjustment and then brush click the box that I had changed earlier with an adjustment brush, apparently not reselect this area so that I can tweak it.  Is there a way to go back and change the fields selected with an adjustment brush?

    Yes, you can change the parameters of the adjustment brush after the fact by opening the adjustment once Brush tool again and selecting the PIN for the mask you want to adjust. The PIN will then have a black dot in the middle and adjustments for this mask will be in th cursor Panel, you go!

  • Get clean cannot delete overlay adjustment brush

    I use win 7 with LR 4.1 RC 2, but this question goes back to LR 3.6 (my first) for me.

    I do not get a clean wipe of a superposition of adjustment brush moving over it with the brush mode 'clear '. Even after 5-10 passes a few small isolated spots continue to show the ornamental red marker.  By clicking on the brush several times while that centered on a tenacious red task does not remove it.

    I paint with a mouse, and in general, use a brush to feathers. The flow and the density are always the value 100.

    It is more of a nuisance that as a problem, given that the remaining areas are very small, and I have not noticed problems in the final image.  Yet, it should not work this way.  I never see this when erasing in Photoshop.

    Is this a known problem with LR?  Everyone knows similar?

    Thank you.

    Jerry

    Because it is extremely powerful.  If it's on, is to select what tricks Gets the tone and color based masked or unmasked.  If it is disabled, it is just the brush size, functionality, density and flow that control only.

  • Lightroom4, the adjustment brush does not work in the center of the screen

    When I use an adjustment brush, it does not work when I move the cursor toward the center of the screen, in the rest of the image, and when I move or zoom the image that will work, if I can use the adjustment brush anywhere in the image, as long as it is not in the center of the screen.

    I had exactly the same question, not only with the adjustment brush, but overall the application (for example, in the library grid view, I could not select all photos in a part of the center of the screen).

    I left and restarted the app and that seems to fix the problem.

  • Adjustment brush stop working

    Help! My adjustment brush stop working. Now if I change the stop to stop 03:56 show I can barely make a difference in effect on the area of the image covered by the brushed area. Previously, if I had to I would see some very radical changes in the exhibition. That's happened?

    Oh, you're going to love this one! I think, for the next 24 hours, I'll have the emblem of 'Stupid' plastered on my forehead. I read both your suggestions. Check preferences, reset some settings I think me could return to normal. Then I start playing with all the settings in the drop-down window of adjustment brush. from top to bottom. When I got inside, I ran my pointer on the black squares left in front of Reset & Close. Hummm what what he says 'disable brush adjustments' I click on it, click again. With a different image, I try an adjustment brush + 4, nothing, I click on small places again, it works. Scheeezzzzzz. Send me the brand of my forehead.

    Normally, I do not change this little place setting y at - it a keyboard shortcut that that will turn on and outside? I was doing a job of long text on certain images in the way back from LR to CS5 CS5 and on an opportunity I thought that I had back in CS5 and did not, start typing the word and everything became black in LR except an image that has been highlighted. I well I got everything back to normal by closing and by reopening but not so much.

    Thank you both for your help in this matter.

    I start another question regarding an error message I get. After the upgrade to CS5 when I double click on an image anywhere it normall invite CS4 to open and open the image in CS4.

  • Lightroom 3.2 adjustment brush to behave like a "low resistance".

    Help... The Lightroom "Adjustment brush" tool ran fine before, but it behaves now as I work with perhaps 10% strength. I does not seem an option that I choose to importance... Exposure, brightness, color, etc. Example... If I select to increase the exposure of 100%, it would be only to lighten a little bit. I have to then select the tool again and back on the same area which does lighten it a whole little bit more... and repeat, repeat and repeat as many times that need to get the necessary relief needed. In addition, you know how when you hover over the small "knobs" on the image and the area that has been adjusted for changes to a bright red hue? Well, now again it's a pale low, almost transparent red tint. Really frustrating! In case you're wondering, if I set the exposure levels to the entire image via the menu 'Basic', it works as not advertised, no problems like this... Any ideas on what's going on? Is there a setting that I've accidentally changed somehow, somewhere?

    Check the flow and density.

  • Incompatible Lightroom adjustment brush with Camera Raw

    I love Lightroom's adjustment brush, but I find it annoying that I can't use it to make saturation all the way in monochrome, even with the cursor of saturation completely rejected. Today, I noticed that in Camera Raw 5.4, the same is NOT true - you can remove color completely with an adjustment brush.

    Surprised at this difference, I wondered what would happen when I loaded the file ACR corrected in Lightroom. And now Lightroom showed the result of the adjustment brush the same way as ACR, with all the colors removed. Excellent!

    But what will happen if I changed the adjustment brush in Lightroom? He "forgets" what I had done in ACR and restore its normal behavior? No, he continued to behave as it had done in ACR. But in the same photo, a brush created in Lightroom does not have the same way. Obviously, it was something to do with what program created the brush.

    Then I took a glance to my XMP file, and it became (slightly) clearly what is happening. It is one of the XMP attributes for the brush created in ACR:

    < crs:MaskValue > 1.000000 < / crs:MaskValue >

    And here's the same attribute for the brush created in Lightroom:

    < crs:MaskValue > 0.375000 < / crs:MaskValue >

    The next question is obvious, what happens if you replace MaskValue with 0.375000 1.000000? Answer: The brush begins to behave like a brush in ACR.

    Now, it's kind of cool. I can get the behavior I want in Lightroom, by editing the XMP file by hand. On the other hand, the editing XMP files isn't really my favorite thing. Is there some settings in Lightroom that allows to reach a MaskValue 1.000000 for adjustment brushes? I couldn't find one, but well, there are a lot of settings...

    In Camera Raw and Lightroom, the value of the mask is determined by the setting of cursor y density. Therefore, when there is a difference between the two, it is certainly because the cursor of the density defined differently. In your case, one is set to 100 and the other 37.5. Do both the same and the effect of the brush must be identical.

    Edit: as mentioned in Jao - flow will also affect mask value

  • adjustment brush

    When I click the adjustment brush icon and then move my cursor to the photo, she disappears.  He used to work sometimes, but now almost at all.

    Check the size of the brush.  If the size slider is completely to the left, the brush is very small and may seem just to disappear in the noise.
