Question

Selective edit brush and auto mask missing from LR CC mobile

I was using Lightroom CC on the desktop and on my mobile devices and I noticed that on the desktop version there is the brush tool available for the Linear and Radial masking tools as well as the eraser tool to modify the mask. On the mobile version I see the eraser tool but no brush tool. So you can remove parts of the mask but it looks like you can't add to it.

I also noticed (or can't find) the auto mask feature on the mobile version for the brush tool.

Thank you.

Did I get it right that when you try to access the Brush via the top left icon you are not able to get it to work?

Normally you can start to brush right away and change the e.g. exposure...

Hi Guido,

Thanks for your reply.

Actually not quite. The brush tool itself works fine. What I was talking about was the brush tool within the radial and gradient tools. On the desktop version when you create a mask with the radial or gradient tool you can edit the mask with either a brush (add to the mask) or an eraser (subtract from the mask). In the mobile version only the eraser is available to edit the mask and not the brush.

Right. On the mobile version you need to add a new brush via the + and app a new mask to accomplish that.
