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.

    Yes, but with this one (and 5.3.3) my tablet does not work at all. As soon as I approach it with my pen the brush size changes (it grows to insanely large values) and the touch function is completely unusable.

    So 5.3.0-3 is the most recent version that is usable.

    Sebastian you say your using driver 5.3.0-3. The link below, suggest 5.3.5-3 is the latest driver. Have you tried that one?

    The pen pressure works in 5.7.1, but in LR CC I have no pen pressure. Other Users have the same problem. In a german forum too. Onlin in LR CC/6.

    On another Adobe site someone has just reported the same problem whilst using the Intros small pro and the latest driver. I have asked him if he could post here as well and confirm which OS he is using and the driver number. His name is Dan and you can see his comment here: https://forums.adobe.com/message/7484...

    I think there's still a basic driver running there as part of the OS.

    Well I am not sure it is a driver issue as unlike everyone else I am not running a driver. I think what all the tablets not working have in common is that they do not have drivers that are officially supported by Yosemite. So maybe Adobe have taken the decision not to support them regardless of the fact some people are running Windows 7 or 8. Wacom Intuos small Pen Tablet is available for £59.95 and found the Intuos Pro small available on Amazon and Wex for £159.95. Interestingly they both use the same driver.

    It's likely that they're now using driver functionality that's only available in more modern drivers. Whether you take a shopping trip is up to you (check Amazon's prices, usually good discounts!), but since any potential fix is likely to take 2-3 months (unless you can convince Wacom to support your OS), I'd debate how long I could go without that functionality.

    So all of these older models of Wacom tablets use different drivers to yours Victoria. The fact I am not using a driver and therefore do not use the sensitivity but still have the issue indicates the problem the problem is the age of the tablets. Is it possible Adobe have dropped support for them or forgotten to add support? I am feeling a trip to West Quay coming on if Adobe have dropped support. 😞
