P: Bug when using adjustment brush, mask overlay and a Wacom tablet

I have found a bug found in Lightroom 6. When I use the adjustment brush, I use the ‘show selected mask overlay’ feature but with Lightroom 6 it is hardly visible when you make an adjustment. Very very pale pink. With Lightroom 5 it was much more visible. If I go to adjust an existing photo I altered first in Lightoom 5 and open it in Lightroom 6 the mask overlay is much deeper pink but as soon as I brush on more adjustment, what ever I add shows as pale pink. The problem happens when I use a Wacom tablet or Wacom mouse. I have just had a chat to Victoria Bampton and she just reproduced the same problem with her Wacom tablet. With her Apple trackpad though it worked fine. I am using Yosemite 10.10.3.

This is OUTRAGEOUS. There's people here who CAN'T WORK properly because of this. This frogged up my entire workflow costing me extra time and nerve. What the frog is going on with Adobe? Fix this!

Hi Rikk,

Looks like it is windows 10 issue. Please let us know if there is something else is needed from us.

From what I read online, I believe this change in behavior was introduced in Windows 8. So you should not experience any difference, but nothing is guaranteed nowadays...

Yes I have had the same LR6 issues, but have seen improvements recently with the most recent LR 6 /CC update. However I was about to update from Win 8 to Win 10, but now definitely won't. Darn!

I can confirm Ajay Kumar's report to be exactly accurate to what I am experiencing.
The bug is still present and is still very disturbing to the workflow.

The solution for Photoshop has helped, I wish Adobe would release the same fix for Lightroom as soon as possible.

When I was on Windows 7, after I upgraded to Lightroom 6, the issues with the Wacom tablet and pen pressure in Lightroom have started. Then, Adobe released an update, and the problems were solved.
Now, After I upgraded to Windows 10, I'm having the exact same issue as Ajay.

I am running the latest version of Lightroom, latest version of the Wacom tablet, and all of the recent updated to Windows 10. Nothing helps and the problem is still here.
It renders the tablet completely unusable for me when in Lightroom. When in Photoshop, the link in Ajay's comment is the thing that solved the problem. It's too bad that Lightroom doesn't have the same fix.
Right now I'm really stuck and am having trouble editing photos. Don't know what to do.

Other users are not having the same issue. That may be because they are running different versions of the driver, or because they have different settings in the driver.
Lightroom had some issues, as noted above. But Photoshop hasn't had such issues. Since you say you see the same issue in both applications, the only thing in common is the driver code for the tablet.

If it is a driver bug then how you are not having the same issue. I have the same drivers ( now latest) as mentioned by Rikk

Not true. I have re-installed latest driver multiple times.
