P: Make All Adjustments Local

[areohbee]

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?)

[hillrg]

Okay, forget about localized CA correction. Any localized solution is good that solves fringing and halos.

My first choice for additional local controls is white balance. Photographically, it is now very difficult to handle mixed lighting situations.

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

I'm sure this has been expressed before, but I didn't find it with a search. (No doubt my search terms are at fault, but everything I can think to search with are all very common terms.)

I LOVE Lightroom. I've been a user since the first public (Mac-only) beta. In particular I love the ability to do so much editing without needing to go out to "real" Photoshop. Maybe I'm just spoiled. Maybe it's that my computer is showing its age which makes me less and less interested in going out to Photoshop if I can avoid it.

The adjustment brushes and gradient masks are great for that purpose. But why is it that I can't do the same adjustments with these as I can within the Basic develop panel? I can do most, but I'm missing fill light and blacks, as well as a more simple way to do color correction selectively (such as the same white balance sliders we have in the Basic develop panel).

These tools already exist. But they aren't consistently available. Adding these to the adjustment brush and gradient tools would simplify SO MUCH of my editing work. I do primarily weddings, where I don't have control over the mixed light sources and it's not feasible to set up my own strobes or speedlights ahead of time to cover an entire venue with good light. Sometimes these mixed sources work very well together, but other times I need to selectively correct the color of just parts of the image. Going to Photoshop to do this really interrupts my workflow, not to mention that it strips away the power and flexibility of RAW files, including delayed rendering of the final file.

Again, if this request already exists, or I'm just missing something in the interface, I'm happy to just be pointed in the right direction. Thanks!

I would add Noise Reduction to the list, as it would be useful for areas which need more noise reduction than others AND would also serve as a better skin smoothing brush than Clarity currently does (in reverse)...

I just posted something similar before looking at this thread http://feedback.photoshop.com/photosh... Maybe someone should merge it with this.

[areohbee]

Don't forget the local colorizer: desaturation of all 3 colors and the addition of one or two other colors will alter white balance.

Additional Items were implemented in the LR4 Beta.

Highlights
Moire

The new LR4 beta local adjustment tools are a GREAT addition! Thanks, Adobe! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the brushes are updated to show actual Kelvin and tint values to make corrections even more useful.

I do not understand why in Lightroom the brush tool has only limited functions?
IT WOULD BE AMAZING IF WITH THE BRUSH TOOL ONE COULD CHANGE ANY SLIDER AVAILABLE IN THE DEVELOP MODULE!!!!
instead of having its own sliders (besides of course size, feather, flow, etc) would it be much better to be able to scroll down to any slider of the develop module and be able to change anything you need to change only for the brush tool.
why is not possible to change blacks or recovery, for example?
it makes no sense
please stop "protecting" photoshop dumbing down lightroom
PS and LR are 2 different programs, who needs photoshop will buy it anyway even if LR has more functionalities.

[Lee Jay]

"I do not understand why in Lightroom the brush tool has only limited functions?"

Because it's relatively hard to do this sort of thing in a non-destructive way, both from a writing of the software perspective, and from a CPU perspective.

Doing this destructively, like in PS, is much easier and that's why PS has so much capability in this area.

[Jeanpierrer]

I do not understand either of these limitations, products like Capture NX proposed this from several years

[teosax]

Agreed 100% especially in lum noise reduction
many pictures need, for example, a heavy noise reduction only in the sky, where you do not lose important details
and having noise reduction in the brush would make a HUGE difference
agreed also for color adjustment

[teosax]

thanks for the explanation

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

It would be nice if Lightroom supports selection. It don't need to be as destructive as Photoshop. Here's my idea, you can select the image a few ways, like quick selection, magic wand and color range. Selections will be labeled as selection 1,2,3 or a,b,c, etc. All settings can be changed just like normal. Is this that hard?

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

1-. Local color corrections.
2-. Local curves

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Ah! And make possible to show clipping with Alt+highlights/shadows in local adjustments

[C-OW]

Need

-Blacks
-Whites

in local adjustments

Does it crash immediately after you change the setting? Or sometime later while you're working?

[Sunil_Bhaskaran]

Gregg,
Does this happen to every image you try to edit?
Are you syncing the image?
I have sent you an offline message.

Thanks,
Sunil

i replied to your email ... at this point lightroom classic is broken. i've been paying $50/mo for years for the creative cloud suite and now the application i use most is flat out busted. i spent over an hour on hold w adobe support before having to hang up yesterday. this has got to the single worst experience i've had with software since i first starting using a computer in 1988. v

Is this on Windows? Please follow https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/lightroom-gpu-faq.html and report what you find. 

Does it work after you've temporarily turning off the GPU acceleration from the Lightroom Preferences dialog? If so, try updated GPU driver to the latest and turn back on the GPU acceleration.

[goodthingfactory]

no, running osx 10.11.5 - please read answer to email sent by sunil below ... 

yes on every image i've tried - all raws - some times it might not happen on the first correct but always after no more than 3 ...ie; tep change, exposure, contrast. i've also tried a variety of combinations to make sure the behavior wasn't tied to just the basic changes. and the same thing happens in quick develop mode in the library tab. so any change to an image results in the image being unselected / 

i am not syncing images - assuming you mean mobile synch?

i've turned off graphics acceleration, deleted and reinstalled lr classic
