Hello everyone. I'm currently a BTS photographer, my mainly sofware i use is Bridge,it better workflow than Lightroom to me for sure. But the more love i have for Bridge the more i hate why Lightroom Masking is slighly better than Brige as those 2 came from a same company. As you may notice in Bridge you can't adjust the size of Radial Gradient, while Lightroom can. Does anyone know is this an issue or Bridge just difference than Lightroom.

Correct answer Erik Bloodaxe

Sounds like you are referring to Camera Raw not Bridge. Do you have "Show Overlays" switched off? Press V to turn on.

I hate how - in Adobe Bridge - they will take something that works and is also simple, and make that feature non-workable and complicated. Such a techie/nerdy thing to do (never letting well enough alone, constantly slicing and dicing with something that already works fine). The radial gradient USED to work, meaning that I could easily adjust the size of the mask. Now it doesn't work anymore. And this stupid overlay window pops up, which has no worth whatsoever. But the most egregious thing is that I cannot quickly and easily adjust the mask and thus modify sections of a photograph.

Erik is correct.

In case you want to see where the menu command is, it's here (admittedly, that's pretty hidden, the key command is faster and easier):

Hi, @Dinh Sang296563251mr0; good news, if you click on the three dots to the right of the Show Overlay, you can turn this on or off by selecting Show Pins and Tools. (And what the reason for this option is beyond me, but that's how you get your tools back.)
