New Mask / Brush on 5.1 issue, PC Windows 10

Question

Using the brush with the new mask tool will not show the effect of the brush until the mouse button is released! That is terrible - you can't see what you are doing with the brush. Also the mask tool adds another step when usuing the brush.

Is there any way to have a live brush with a mask?

I am able to paint live on both Mac 11 and Windows 10. I would recommend trying a couple of things:

1. Verify your mouse/tablet drivers are up to date

2. Reset your preferences

This procedure works for both Lightroom Classic and Lightroom Desktop.

If you are using Lightroom Desktop it can change the location of your local storage. Please review this setting after resetting preferences.

Reset Procedure:

1. Close Lightroom.

2. Hold down [Alt/Opt]+[Shift] while restarting Lightroom.

3. Overwrite the Preferences when prompted by the dialog.

4. Close Lightroom.

5. Restart Lightroom.
