So I am using the brush tool on some of my photos and after that I decided to use the spot removal tool. Upon doing so it removed more than the spot. It actually ended up removing separate brush strokes I have made. I am not sure how this is possible but please look into this.

hi,

i just had experienced this MASSIVE bug and freaked out.
i was noticing some weird behaviors recently but took me a while to connect the dots and finally arrive here to this thread.

what i can add is that it happens to me only with "gpu acceleration" activated, and on Classic V10.

I read that on 10.1.1 the bug is solved.

anybody whom wrote here could confirm this please?

From a Windows 10 user. 

 

This is the only bug I experienced with V10, doubly fixed:

  1. the bug is gone
  2. the very slow application of Spot removal after using the Adjustment Brush is also fixed

These were the only bugs I was experiencing. 

 

Performance improvements: the only occasional slowdown I was experiencing was with the Luminance Noise Reduction slider which was much faster with V10 over V9.4 and only occasionally dragged just a little. RAW Fuji X-T3 photos still experience about a 1/2 second delay. It could still be GPU limited (Quadro P2200 5GB) except that the GPU utilization doesn't go over 32%. 4.9GB of the GPU memory is consumed by the slider so the problem could be insufficient memory on the card. My guess is that V10/10.1 are trying to make more used of the card and are limited by the memory limit. I've read on GPU sites that 4K monitors need an 8GB card, for whatever that's worth.

If I use the "brush adjustment" tool, then use "spot removal" tool, the brush adjustment will move.  If I then move place where the spot removal tool initially selected, then the brush adjustment will move back to where I had it originally.

It's reported here Lightroom Classic: Spot removal removing brush stroke | Adobe Photoshop Family and acknowledged(as a bug) by Adobe

When I cover a section of an image with a brush tool adjustment, the coverage is even and as expected.

However, if I then use the spot removal tool, even once, the previous brush tool coverage is affected by means of becoming extremely patchy.

This is confirmed when I activate the red overlay. The once uniform and even spread of brushing, is now a mess of random patches.

I couldn't see this being reported yet on the forum.
