Adjustment brush Color LR Classic

[robn49088724]

I have done something to my adjustment brush so that when I use it for exposure adjustment, it paints the areas red instead of reduced exposure.

Tried using the color selection panel, but it offers every color except black.

I can not remember what I did to upset it, and I sure can not figure how to fix it.

Can anyone offer advice please?

If you mean the masking color of the adjustment brush, try Shift-O when you see an area masked. This will cycle through a light, a dark, a red, and a green overlay.

Thank you Joe.

I tried that, it worked. Great!

The keyboard shortcut "O" turns the overlay on and off altogether. "Shift+O" just changes its colour.

Showing a white, black, red or green overlay is just a matter of which is going to show up best, so that we can see where we are brushing. A black overlay will make it hard to judge whether we are applying the right amount of darkening (say) in the right places. We need to be seeing the actual adjustment in order to do that.

So we switch frequently between the two modes as we work.

We may also want to zoom in and out, and pan around the image in the middle of our brushing. Pressing the spacebar key jumps LR temporarily out of the brushing mode so that we can move a different part of the picture into view, and then resume.
