P: Masking - Clarity Sliders have no effect after update

Hi

Ever since I updated my Lightroom mobile today (21/2/24) to version 9.2, my clarity slider for my masks stopped working. When I slide it from -100 to +100, no changes to the image can be seen. The weird thing is this only applies to the clarity slider. All the other sliders for my masks work.

Any idea on how to fix this/whats causing the issue?

 

Thanks!

If you view the original Primary thread, you will see that I logged a bug on Feb 21.

The latest iOS version of the Lightroom app has a bug when you put a selective mask (e.g subject, radial or linear gradient) and try to change the clarity of this mask. In this case you are completely unable to change the clarity parameters of the selective mask and absolutely no adjustments are possible. The bug doesn't occur when you change the clarity of the whole image. 

 

Devices:

iPhone 15 Pro Max iOS 17.3.1

iPad Pro 4th generation iOS 17.3.1

(& further customers of other iOS devices confirmed the bug.)

When I adjust clarity for whole image it works as expected however when you adjust clarity setting on a specific mask there is no visible change (clarity tool has no effect when used on mask) (Lightroom mobile updated to latest version, I have restarted and logged out and back in)

I'm having the same issue, it would be nice if adobe would respond here.

Same thing is happening to me... clarity value slider within a mask isn't having any effect. Just noticed it today, and two days ago I was not getting this bug. The worst part about this is the fact that all of my older photos where I adjusted the clarity value within a mask have been completely reset back to zero and can't be changed back. This is really frustrating especially since I had yet to export many of those photos. Hopefully Adobe can address this bug ASAP and also restore the clarity slider value of older photos that have gotten affected.

I am having the same issue, it only appears to be Lightroom on iPad I still have control of clarity in masks with Lightroom Classic and Lightroom Mobile. To make matters worse it has actually removed all of the clarity from any images that I have masked in my catalog and several jobs that where done prior to the update where all completely reset to 0.  This is really killing me atm because I do all of my editing on the road and use Lightroom for the IPad about 90% of the time.

It's March 4th and this issue hasn't been resolved. Is there any fix in sight? Can I just download an earlier version because this bug is very dumb.

Quando seleciono uma parte da imagem usando o pincel da edição seletiva e tento alternar a "claridade" no painel de efeitos, a área selecionada não sofre nenhuma modificação, outras funções tem efeito, porém a "claridade" não

After the latest update I noticed an issue with the clarity slider while masking. There is no effect when using clarity, dragging to +100 or -100 reveals no changes. And in some instances the mask gets blurry when adjusting the clarity. It's unusable in its current state. 

 

Is anyone else having this issue? 

Is there a bug fix in the work for this? I do not have the issue in Lightroom classic, only the mobile version for iPadOS.
