Why CC LR skin softening Wo Brush flatten the skin?

I love the skin softening brush LR and I learned to create a 'taste' for different skin types.  But it seems that each "recipe" I always create 'Flattens' skin tones between the eyes and cheeks and I lose a measure of 'depth' and the contrast of the face.  In some cases, this is the goal, but in most of the cases, I have to go back with a second sweep of light under the eyes and an eyebrow and sometimes to the bottom of the nose.  In addition, I might also have to add a little more color and 'pop' cheeks too. After these two steps, I am then required of use of a variable level of "erasing" mix a seamless change between tones to achieve the desired contrast level and depth.  This process works, however in most cases, 'contrast level and desired depth' (although rough and not softened) was already present before I applied the softening of the skin.    

So long story short, which is a struggle for me... Is there a method to soften the skin, without turning it into an operation step 3 or 5?

Thanks in advance!

The major part of softening of the skin is to remove detail or blur. Removal of contrast is a way to do this. The default skin softening brush dials to the bottom of the clarity that's just contrast for the tones. My version of the brush of softening the skin uses a water drop in sharpness so that the fall of clarity is much smaller.

    Doing a lot of brushing up on an image using Lightroom is known to have this problem. The first thing to try is to turn off the graphics acceleration (go to Preferences/Performance tab and then uncheck the box here). IF this does not help, then you can consider doing your brush in Photoshop Elements or Photoshop, instead of brushing in Lightroom.

  • Flatten the problem of the Page JavaScript Debugger

    I found a common solution online on the flattening of comments in a PDF file:

    1) press CTRL + J to open the debugger window

    (2) delete anything out of the window of the console

    (3) type this.flattenPage)

    (4) leave the cursor in the line and press CTRL + ENTER

    I tried this on two computers, each running Windows XP Pro SP3 with Acrobat 9.1.1 Professional it worked on one but not the other. Those who did not gave this error message:

    This.Flatten is not a function

    1:Console:exec

    undefined

    Any ideas why it would work on one and not the other?

    This.Flatten is not a function

    1:Console:exec

    undefined

    The name of the function is flattenPages. You have typed a space after flattening?

  • cannot use brush in the pdf edition

    Other tools all work fine.

    I tried flattening the file, change the color mode, adding a layer

    Select a brush in the brush Panel... then it will work.

    The symbol 'no' means one of two things... the layer you are trying to get is locked or hidden, or there is no art brush selected in the brush panel draw with.

  • Why finder hide Documents and office files in the home directory of the user by activating iCloud drive? What about the behavior of Time Machine backup or third-party applications?

    I'm under MacOS Sierra. I am connected to my iCloud account. I activated the option Desktop and Documents, but I did NOT activate the option optimize Mac storage, because I wanted to make sure that all my files would be available locally, just in case, I would need to work without an internet connection.

    -J' noticed there now a menu iCloud in my sidebar in the Finder, with links to Documents and desktop.

    -J' also noticed that Documents is no longer presented in my favorites in my side bar of the Finder.

    -This last suggests that files saved in 'Documents' are not saved more on my HD... but only in iCloud, which isn't what I want.

    -Then, sailing in the Finder Macintosh HD/users / 'My account' /, I noticed that my Documents and desktop folders are more visible, as if these files are not saved in my home folder most. Which raises the question: where are My Documents and files on my HD, so they are still?

    -Using a shell session in the terminal and again navigate to/Users / 'My account' /, I noticed that my Documents and desktop folders are still there. Which suggest that records and records of office reside actually still in my home folder under users, but Finder actually hide it and present them as being stored in iCloud only disc. It's very confusing.

    This raises several questions:

    -In the first place, why Apple hide Documents and office files in the directory? Why not view these folders in iCloud and directory?

    -Whence the iCloud folder or drive, reside actually on my hard drive?

    -What time Machine. Is it still back up my document files and folders?

    -What games third-party app mirroring backup of My Documents files and folders? They still work properly? (I use Livedrive backup and Sugarsync for files mirrored across several macs).

    -How can I understand that Apple is doing with my folders and files? Some users might be happy with the iCloud drive concept, without worrying about how it works, but I don't take chances, and I want to keep a good understanding about the functioning of my system.

    Could someone explain what is exactly happening?

    With office and selected Documents, access to these files are now in the iCloud Drive, not in your home folder.

    My guess would be that they do not appear in your file because it would be confusing for many people to make them in two places.

    If you want in the Favorites, open iCloud Drive and drag them in the sidebar here.

    All about iCloud drive has been saved on your Mac. With the exception of the office and the Documents, they are in ~/Library/Mobile Documents. However, if you choose optimized storage, older documents are removed from your Mac. I don't know what is "old".

    ~/Documents and ~/desktop have new metadata indicating probably Finder does not display them in a Finder window, only in iCloud drive. They are not hidden in one of the normal methods of unix.

    I have not tested Time Machine or any other backup program. The folder still exist in your directory home, and they still have all the files, I don't think that changes anything.

  • Why you put "Open a new tab" on the right side of the browser, when you close a tab on the left and you type a new URL in the browser on the left?

    The most important is the "open a new tab" + - is on the right. But that is not sensible. Why you put "Open a new tab" on the extreme right of the browser, when you close a tab on the left and you type a new URL in the browser on the left?

    Changes in the toolbars:

    I don't like the changes made to the user interface either, rather than to save toolbar space, they would have much more space with 1/10 the functionality. But the important thing is that it's Firefox and you can customize things yourself. Your complaints about the Firefox toolbars are the top 10 items in what follows and they are quickly fixed.

    hostage to the third party toolbar:

    Why you would bind your use of any third-party toolbar browser, which was never really necessary, and even less be hostage to not update to Firefox.

Google has waited very long before for finally stating that they would maintain is no longer their toolbar for Firefox, claiming that it was not necessary, and that the items were in Firefox. Also be aware that the features are also in their own browser that also do not need or use the Google toolbar. Not only is Mozilla open source, but all the information is available to anyone - you can even listen online meetings yourself or wait for a printed reviewa.
    There is no change to the user interface of Firefox 4 to 5 and probably even not through Firefox 7

  • Why build on average has side effects on the parallel loop

    It is a simple parallel loop to process the average value of each waveform.

    When you use tools-> profile-> find parallelizable loops, it is said:

    This loop For may or may not be safe to parallelize. Warning (s):
    -One or more nodes in the loop For can have side effects.

    So, why? It is not reentrant?

    The average function calls an internal function of NOR, which may (or may not / be reentrant.)  You can always code to the top of your own average code fairly easily and could make it reentrant - that would probably solve your problem.
