IOS adding a new Adjustment Brush not working like Radial Filter or Graduated Filter
I am using LR Mobile 5.3.1.53 B120. I have an iPad Air with 128GB with around 50G free. Around 3 weeks ago I changed from the Creative Cloud Photography 20GB plan to the Creative Cloud Photography 1TB plan.
In the last 48 hours I noticed that creating a new Adjustment Brush has stopped working - it is as if it brings about almost no change. I have carried out the following tests on both RAW and JPG images
- On a photo taken at night
- I can add a graduated filter, see a very bright pink/red area showing me the area that will change and I can then turn the black sky into white by increasing exposure etc
- I can add a radial filter, see a very bright pink/red circular area showing me the area that will change and I can then create a white circle in the night skyby increasing exposure etc
- I can add an Adjustment Brush, and all I ever see is a blue diamond. No bright pink/red area is painted under my moving finger, I think there is a very vague hint of pink, the dark sky does seem to lighten ever so slightly, but it is about 1% of what it used to do
- On an overexposed photo
- I can add a graduated filter, see a very bright pink area showing me the area that will change and I can then turn the white sky into black/very dark grey by decreasing exposure etc
- I can add a radial filter, see a very bright pink circular area showing me the area that will change and I can then create a very dark circle in the overexposed sky by decreasing exposure etc
- I can add an Adjustment Brush, and all I ever see is a blue diamond. No bright pink area is painted under my moving finger, I think there may be very vague hint of pink, the white sky does darken ever so slightly but nothing like it used to
2 days ago I edited a photo with multiple Adjustment Brushes - the photo was taken on a very sunny day with deep shade under trees. These brushes worked exactly as I have always known them to work. That is if I am careful I can change the light in different areas and produce a nice balanced photo. And of course if I drag any of the light controls to their extremes I'll get a white-out or a black-out.
As a final test I went back to this photo imported and edited 72 hours ago on the same iPad
- I can select each of the adjustment brushes I added 72 hours ago, I will see no pink to show the area that the brush will work on (yes the option to the highlight is turned on) and
- I can adjust the lightness/darkness/colour etc as I was always able to
- If I add a new Adjustment brush, then nothing happens - no pink area, no appreciable lightening/darkening no matter how large the adjustments I make
I have closed the app and restarted it, I powered down my iPad and restarted it. It makes no difference to the above behaviours.
Does anyone from Adobe who monitors these posts have any ideas what is going on?
