No blue diamond Lightroom selective edit mask

[marathongranny212]

I hope someone can help me. I am learning LR on the iPad. When I choose selective edit to apply a mask, I have the paint brush icon but the videos all show a diamond blue icon. What am I doing wrong, please?

I am using Lightroom v5.3 on a PC, but I always see the Brush tool icon as a paint Brush.

The Radial Gradient shows a blue dot at the centre of the mask overlay..

The Linear Gradient shows a blue square dot at the centre of the Gradient overlay.

Perhaps the iPad is different, or you are confusing the tool overlay point icons.

Sounds like you are watching videos that show another tool, not the paintbrush. I believe some icons have changed, so they are probably old videos.

Johan is right, they're old videos. The brush was a blue diamond until October last year when Masking was completely overhauled.
