P: Remove brush strokes appear in the wrong place on rotated images

I verified that LR 15.0 now provides correct behavior for the bug recipe.

Okay, a quick update. I just worked through 20 photos of football players and what I discovered is that as I moved from one photo to the next, the cursor radius increases from the size I had on the previous photo, but the actual size that is sampled is smaller than the cursor indicates (it was whatever size I had on the last sample of the last photo). If I rotate my mouse wheel one notch, it reduces the cursor radius to one notch smaller than the size I just sampled on the last photo. From that point, it stays the correct size for the rest of the time I am working on that picture, even if I change the size (again, using the mouse wheel). Below is a screen shot to illustrate. You can see that the cursor size is larger than the most recent spot that was "healed," but that is the size that it was when I clicked to heal that spot. Once I resize the cursor, it stays the correct size until I move to the next photo, and then I have to resize it again to get the cursor and the actual sample size to be the same. It's definitely better than it was before, but still not ideal. Note: all of these photos are rotated because they were photographed vertically. 

Thank you for following up. It seems to be fixed. Thank you!

Hi StephH1,

Are you still seeing this issue with latest classic version?

Thanks,

Is this ever going to get fixed? It's been six months and I am still experiencing the issue in which the actual remove/healing tool area is much smaller than the area that is portrayed by the tool when I hover over it and click to remove. So annoying when you're working on 100 photos at a time that are all in portrait mode. 

I can't figure out how to "upvote" this post, but I just want to say that I am experiencing this issue in a slightly different way. I use the "heal" tool (subset of Remove tool) not as a brush but more as a pencil--just a quick click to remove an unwanted spot (usually acne on teenage athletes). My experience is that the size of the tool when shown via my cursor when I hover over an area is significantly larger than the spot that is actually "healed" when I click. Most of my photos are portrait, so I have to rotate them, and I did confirm that if I use the tool on a NON-rotated photo, the size shown by the cursor before using it is accurate. 

I have an old graphics card. "Intel HD Graphics Family" on . I have the following message when I try to open in CameraRaw. Is there still a way  to try your fix?

I think you are asking about Adobe Camera RAW as used in Photoshop. Can you verify if you get this issue in Photoshop, or were you using Lightroom Classic.

Also, your issue is in no way related to the subject of this posting, this Bug report.

Please create your own posting. I would recommend that you post it as a Discussion. In the Photoshop community if you are using Photoshop. In the Lightroom Classic community if it is actually Lightroom Classic.

When you create your post, please include as a minimum:

• Adobe Product and Version Number
• Operating System in version number
• Your error message
• Computer hardware information, CPU, RAM, GPU make/model, VRAM, GPU Driver number
• Any additional screenshots that might describe the issue

Oh, and for that Dell Inspiron 7537, looking at on-line Tech Specs. It appears it should have an Integrated Video controller, Intel HD Graphics 4400, and a Discrete GPU NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M. Can you verify. The error message is probably about the Integrated video controller.

I'm having this issue on Mac. Rotating the image doesn't help. I've restarted lightroom, restarted my computer, checked for updates, nothing is working. When I try to use the remove tool (ai or not), it puts the brush in a random spot on the photo. Has anyone else found any other solutions?
