Help with the Tutorial "Make Selective Edits" in Lightroom CC 2020

[Adrianb1967]

Hello everyone.

I am following the Lightroom online tutorial and have started right at the very beginning "Lightroom Get Started".

At the "Make Selective Edits" section, there are several instances during the video(s) that I am struggling with as my application behaves differently compared to the tutors.

For example, for the third video (3) on this page (https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-cc/how-to/edit-part-photo-lightroom-cc.html?playlist=/services/pla...) titled "Use the Brush tool to change part of a photo" the tutor shows the brush performing the exposure change in the brushed area instantly.

If I follow EXACTLY the same process and settings, I only see a brushed on mask in light red - quite different to hers and in order to "see" the brushed on change, I have to hit return. Which doesn't work for me!

I've seen something similar with the other video too in this section " Edit parts of a photo with Radial Gradients" so something is amiss here that I would appreciate an expert's advice on. 

Thank you very much!

You will be showing the mask overlay. Tab two or three times with the O key to cycle through the tool and mask views. When the mask is not visible you can view the slider effects directly on the image.

Genius!  That worked perfectly.  

1,000 thank you's.
