P: Make All Adjustments Local

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?)

Hello,
i would like to use all adjustments with the "local adjustment brush", not only the few offered; like the color correction, noise, sharpen and so on.

My vote goes to brining the Recovery and Fill light to local adjustment brushes

Performance at full-size is *about* the same as small-window, for me. - not quite, but so good that I never even think about it - I use almost exclusively in "full screen" mode... I'm guessing its more likely a (display?) driver issue than a horse-power issue, (assuming its not just a difference in perception of the same thing) but I'm a bit out on a limb again... - I think this has been an ongoing issue in the other forum, e.g. "Lr 3.3 Performance Feedback", but it may be worth seeing what kind of response you get here.

Rob, do you also see a considerable improvement in interactivity when you reduce the LR window size?

I love to work in full-screen mode (the only proper way of using LR, AFAIC). I also like to see the image I'm working on as big as possible, so I collapse all panels, except the develop panel. This means, however, that if I move e.g., the exposure slider, the updates of the image rendering lag behind a little. If I move the slider by a large amount, the image rendering catches up in a jerky way.

If I leave full screen mode and reduce LR's window size then suddenly updates to the image are practically immediate! The editing experience becomes truly interactive then.

I cannot believe that my hardware isn't powerful enough to cope with displaying a bigger image. I believe this is an age-old ACR problem, isn't it? Do you still observe it on your system? Is it justified to create a bug report?

How I wish I had the responsiveness of the "small window"-LR in full-screen mode!

I almost agree, but I find that better distraction removal support is even more important.

I would be happy if this is ALL that was in LR4 improvements. This is my number 1 request, along with mask generation improvements.

TK, I'll take notice. But, I do a fair amount of brushing and haven't noticed it yet, granted I wasn't looking for it either. In any case, its 2-orders of magnitude faster now than before, straight out of the gate, so a bug is no longer biting... - at least some of the problem for some people is due to "abnormal" behavior. If that is the case for you or anybody else, it would be good to get past it if possible...

Rob, I bet if you keep on adding adjustment brush strokes, at some point things will slow down. It has always been like that for me and I've been told that it never had been any different, even in old ACR versions.

Interactive performance should not go down with the number of local image adjustments, but it does.

There is zero lag for me when using the adjustment brush - very spunky - I can't brush faster than Lr can keep up...

Biggest part of fix was new motherboard - although motherboard faster, I think a bigger factor may have been the extensive system re-configuration and new drivers that occurred in the course of installing it.
