MacBook Pro Max Brush not working

[tadunmire314]

The brush tool is not working properly. not allowing me to brush in simple strokes. The radial tool is also not permitting me to resize with twitching. This is in lightroom desktop. Ive included a viedo showing the brushing tool problem.

What version are you running? Did you do the most recent update? Have you quit and reopened the app?

LR 5.1

Monterey 12

MBP M1 Max

Update to 5.2 and see if that solves it.

That is not an option for me. Creative cloud saysmy version is up to date

You are not up to date. Go to the updates tab, click on the three dots and choose to check for updates.

Heres a screenshot of my creative cloud updates tab. still version 5.1

Well, I don't know why that is happening, but version 5.1 is definitely not the latest version. What you could try is uninstalling Lightroom and then reinstalling Lightroom.

It was weird. I couldn't even log out of creative cloud or unistall. But I did find I needed an update for my mac. After that installed I was able to resign in to creative cloud and the update for 5.2 was there. Thanks for your help. And 5.2 has fixed my brush issue as well.
