P: iPadOS 7.0 Brush Does not work

[Sergey5D66]

It seems that new LR Mobile has issues with brush tool. When I try to add brush stokes using new masking panel, I only move the photo, but no strokes are added. "Brush on the photo to create a select area" message is shown, but nothing happens.

Issue: 

• Lightroom Version Number: Lightroom CC Mobile 7.0.0 
• OS Version Number: iPadOS14.6 (18F72)
• Device: iPad Air 3 MUUR2LL/A

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open new masking panel
2. Choose create new mask -> Brush
3. Try to tap and move finger

Expected result: New brush strock is added
Actual result: Photo moves around, but no brush strokes appear. The message "Brush on the photo to create a select area" keeps float.

Could you add a screen shot of how it looks after trying to draw?
Are you able to work with the clone/healing tool?

[Sergey5D66]

Clone/heal works just fine. Here's a small video of the issue:

Tried the same in LR Mobile 7.7.1, the issue is still there.

This could happen when masking group (and not the Brush tool) is selected on the right panel. Please make sure that Brush is selected.

[Sergey5D66]

Looks like choosing brush does not help, or maybe I'm doing something wrong. Please refer to the video above.

I'm having the same issue too.

pits only on the iPad and not iPhone.

pits just the brush tool. All other tools like radial, linear etc work. Just not the brush tool itself.

Same problem as wilks96 ... mask brush works on iPhone, but not iPad

Could you double check your iOS settings-> Apple Pencil and make sure that you turn off "Only Draw with Apple Pencil option" when you are not using such a pencil.

Hope this helps - Guido/ Lr Qe

That fixed the problem ... thank you SO much!!!

[greule]

Glad that the brushing is now working for you - Guido

[Sergey5D66]

Yes, that worked for me as well. Thank you!

Hello,

I am having this issue, but when I turn off  'only draw with Apple Pencil' it doesn't fix the issue. 

[glenna82399466]

Same issue here. Apple Pencil works for all functions other than Mask>Brush regardless of the Setting we’re advised to change. C’mon, Apple. Fix this!

[Glenn31156937jmuo]

Sorry, I meant to say "C'mon, ADOBE! Fix this!

The suggestion about "Only draw with Apple Pencil" does nothing, regardless of the setting. 

What is going on? This has been going on a year now. 

[Glenn31156937jmuo]

I'm tapping out. The pencil is now working for me. I left the option ticked. Funny thing is, I replaced my lost Apple Pencil with a third party pencil. I think it was $23? Highest-rated on Amazon. I wish it had a tiny bit more heft to it, and it has a known minor Bluetooth annoyance that never happens when you're already using the device, but its performance is otherwise perfect. My gut tells me my issue had the same symptoms as others here, but that the root cause was a bad Apple Pencil. It had a little crack down the side. It worked fine in every other app. There must just be some call that Adobe makes that requires a particular function that travels on a main pathway that's under that crack.

When I choose brush it tells me to apply the brush, but when I touch the image, it just moves the image and does not apply the brush strokes. I have deleted and downloaded app, restarted ipad, changed the density and flow of the brush to 100. Nothing seems to make it work. All other masking tools work correctly. This seems to only be a problem on my ipad.

See this thread, which sounds very similar (and has a suggested solution): https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-ecosystem-cloud-based-discussions/lightroom-cc-mobile-7-0-b...

Yeah, you know this link just brings you back here, right?

[Rebeca5CFA]

Tento usar o picel no lightroom mas não consigo de jeito nenhum depois da atualiação. Como podem me ajudar por favor?

[Peru Bob]

I've moved this from the Using the Community forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the Lightroom forum so that proper help can be offered.

[Dimitri van Hezik]

When I use the pencil in the masking function I am not able to select a part of the picture, instead I can only drag the picture. This happened after the last update with all the new masking functions.

Thanks

Moderators, should this not be relocated to Lightroom Ecosystem?
