It sounds like you are only seeing the 'red' mask overlay.

Press keyboard [O] to Hide/Show the overlay. Then without the overlay paint with the Brush Preset to see the result.

(It is a BRUSH preset you are using?- Not a 'global' Develop Preset?)

 

 

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .

Did you install the 'Local Adjustment' presets as advised by the suppliers instructions?

NOTE: You must copy the "CONTENTS" (.LRTEMPLATE files) only- NOT the Folder. There cannot be any sub-folders in the Local Adjustment Presets Folder.


2. Copy contents of "local adjustments for Adobe Lightroom" folder into:
[Windows]: C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Local Adjustment Presets

 

Now when you open the masking panel and choose the Brush Tool- Are you choosing a Brush Preset from the Drop Down Menu?

Clicking the double arrow will reveal the Brush Presets from which you choose one. The Milky Way 7 Brush Presets should appear (a long way down below the defaults!) in a list like this-

Only then will you be 'brushing' with the Adjustments as defined in the Brush preset.

 

 


Yes installed as you have there.

 

Yes I choose a brush preset from the drop down menu. IK then have 2 concentric circles where my curser was, the brush and feather sizes.

My MW presets appear at the top as attached.
