P: Post Crop Vignetting Highlights slider not functioning

[Todd Shaner]

The LR 7.10 and ACR 10.1 Effects panel Post Crop Vignetting Highlights Slider has no effect on the image. It appears to be disabled in the latest update version. I tried resetting LR Preferences file and the issue remains. It has been reported here:

I am seeing it too, Todd.  Looks like it's still working in CC2015.14 but not Classic 7.1.  I will get a bug logged unless you already have?

Rikk - We're not seeing this internally with the latest shipping versions of Lr Classic or ACR. The PCV Highlights slider is working as expected. A video of the issue may be helpful for troubleshooting.

[Todd Shaner]

Rikk, please log the bug report. Thank you!

Kelly, I am seeing it on Windows 10 on LrClassic CC 7.1  Same image in 6.14/CC2015.14 behaves differently and as expected.

[Todd Shaner]

Kelly,  just to be clear the Highlights slider in question is a shown below. It is not functioning at all on my Windows 7system with LR 7.1 or ACR 10.1.

[Kelly Castro]

And not to state the obvious, but please note that the PCV Highlights slider should only be active when Highlight Priority is selected and the Amount slider is set to a negative value.

[Kelly Castro]

Thanks Todd. Let me reinstall 7.1 on Win and I'll take another look.

[Kelly Castro]

I stand corrected. I can repro - looks to be Win only. We'll get it fixed. Thanks.

[Kelly Castro]

Thanks for reporting this issue. The problem has been verified in Lightroom CC 1.1, Lightroom Classic 7.1, and Camera Raw 10.1 on Windows only. Bugs have been filed for all 3 applications and fixes scheduled for the next release cycle.

[Todd Shaner]

Thank you Kelly!

Hi folks! 

It is my pleasure to announce that we have released a new version of Lightroom CC tonight. We believe the new version has fixed this issue. Update your application to the new Lightroom CC 1.2 and give it a try.

Enjoy!

Hi all,

This issue should be fixed in today's Lightroom Classic CC 7.2 version. Please update your application and let us know if you still see this issue!

Lightroom Classic CC 7.2 is now available!

Thanks,
Melissa

Thank you Team Adobe Engineering! This is fixed in both LR Classic CC 7.2 and Adobe Camera Raw 10.2 on my Windows 7 system.

Hi, I am experiencing the exact same problem as above right now after installing the latest update to lightroom classic (9.2.1)! What should I do?

[Bob Somrak]

Works for me on Lr 9.2.1 on macOS 10.14.6.  

As designed, the Highlights slider is only enabled for negative values of Amount using Color Priority and Highlight Priority.  

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Thanks, but I have it on highlight priority and the amount is on -100 and the highlights slider doesn't do anything on both my windows and macOS devices. (both are on the latest software.)

[Bob Somrak]

It only works on areas with Highlights.  If your vignette are doesn't contain highlights it has no effect.  Pick a photo with white on the corners and see if it works.

Thanks, I have tried it with other photos and it works perfectly! I don't understand because the photo I want to use it on has white on the bottom edges. Why do you think it wouldn't work on one photo?  

[Bob Somrak]

Either post the full photo on Dropbox, etc or a small JPG version on the forum

Here is the photo. Thanks for your help.

[Bob Somrak]

There are not enough highlights in the bottom of that photo for the Vignette slider to affect.  Using the white balance color picker the Histogram numbers are about 60-60-60 which are not highlights.

Ah, I see. That makes sense, thanks so much for your help!

What I would do for something like this is to brush in the areas where I want it darker as it would give me more 'selective' control.
