I'd like all adjustments to be available locally (i.e. maskable, and ability to apply with different settings).

(This hasn't been explicitly suggest yet on this "forum", has it?)

1-. Local color corrections.
2-. Local curves

It would be nice if Lightroom supports selection. It don't need to be as destructive as Photoshop. Here's my idea, you can select the image a few ways, like quick selection, magic wand and color range. Selections will be labeled as selection 1,2,3 or a,b,c, etc. All settings can be changed just like normal. Is this that hard?

Agreed 100% especially in lum noise reduction
many pictures need, for example, a heavy noise reduction only in the sky, where you do not lose important details
and having noise reduction in the brush would make a HUGE difference
agreed also for color adjustment

I do not understand either of these limitations, products like Capture NX proposed this from several years

"I do not understand why in Lightroom the brush tool has only limited functions?"

Because it's relatively hard to do this sort of thing in a non-destructive way, both from a writing of the software perspective, and from a CPU perspective.

Doing this destructively, like in PS, is much easier and that's why PS has so much capability in this area.

IT WOULD BE AMAZING IF WITH THE BRUSH TOOL ONE COULD CHANGE ANY SLIDER AVAILABLE IN THE DEVELOP MODULE!!!!
instead of having its own sliders (besides of course size, feather, flow, etc) would it be much better to be able to scroll down to any slider of the develop module and be able to change anything you need to change only for the brush tool.
why is not possible to change blacks or recovery, for example?
it makes no sense
please stop "protecting" photoshop dumbing down lightroom
PS and LR are 2 different programs, who needs photoshop will buy it anyway even if LR has more functionalities.

The new LR4 beta local adjustment tools are a GREAT addition! Thanks, Adobe! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the brushes are updated to show actual Kelvin and tint values to make corrections even more useful.
