That feature of the spot removal tool didn't exist in Lightroom 2. I think it was introduced in LR 4 or 5. I don't think it was as early as LR 3. Anyway, you're out of luck if you don't want to buy an upgrade to LR 6 or subscribe to the Creative Cloud Photography package. Hal

Rob, Make sure that Density and Flow are set to reasonably high values. Size, too. Hal

You have to buy and install a 64-bit version of Windows, assuming that your PC is capable of runninng a 64-bit operating system. Hal

Of course her response was helpful. She moved the thread to the Lightroom forum from whatever unhelpful place you originally posted. Hal

Grant, I did a little experimenting. If the exposure slider is set to zero when I select the "Exposure" preset, then when I click on the image with the brush, the preset field changes to "Custom", and the slider stays at zero. It's odd, but hardly a major problem. The sliders seem "sticky": if I'm in the Exposure preset and set the Exposure slider to zero, it will be zero the next time I invoke the Exposure preset. This is a badly thought out interface design, but it shouldn't be that hard to work around. Hal

OK. I misunderstood. Are you saying that if you set the brush to the Exposure preset and then draw a brushstroke on the image that the preset field changes to "Custom"? If so, are any of the other sliders changing? In other words, is the problem only with the label, or does it affect your editing adversely? What version of LR are you using? And what OS? Hal

Of course it does. Whenever you change one of the sliders so that the new configuration doesn't match the "effect" preset selected, the preset changes to "Custom". This is the way it should work, not a bug. Hal

Auto-advance is still available in the Photo menu in the Library module on my CC2015.12 (Win 10). It isn't available in the Develop module, however. That said, turning on Caps Lock works in both places to enter auto-advance mode. If this doesn't match what happens for you, you could try resetting the Lightroom preferences file: https://www.lightroomforums.net/threads/resetting-the-lightroom-preferences-file-updated.25197/ Hal

It has always been that way. I guess your mind slid.

Well put, Richard. It always feels wrong to grab the "slides" by the image. Hal

Make sure you are clicking on the image and not on the border. If you are, you might want to reset your preferences Hal.

You only get that option when you are exporting JPEGs. You are exporting a TIFF. Hal

Fine here as well. Win 10; LR 2015.12. Perhaps resetting the preferences file might help. Hal

With a 32-bit operating system, Lightroom will limit itself to about a megabyte of memory usage. Upgrading your memory won't do any good unless you go to a 64-bit OS. Hal

I have an Olympus, too. "Dramatic Tone" is pretty far from anything LR can easily produce. It's an "art filter" rather than a camera profile. Personally, I'd just go with the JPEGs instead of raw.

Try going to the Performance tab of the Preferences dialogue and turning off "Use Graphics Processor". See if that helps.

Is there a gesture on the tablet that translates as a Backspace? That sounds like it could be the problem.

Could you post a screenshot of your Develop module with the problem showing? Also, include the histogram in the shot. Hal

Jim, It may be happening. I have defective colour vision and can't see a difference. Normally one doesn't try to work on colour issues while in crop mode, so it isn't likely to make a difference in practice. I notice on my copy of LR that the image shrinks slightly when entering crop mode. Perhaps this has a subtle effect on colour balance. Hal

When LR starts doing really strange stuff, resetting the Preferences file often helps: https://www.lightroomforums.net/threads/resetting-the-lightroom-preferences-file-updated.25197/ Hal

Well, the thing is that apps don't cause BSODs. Bad hardware or bad drivers do it, though.So it isn't likely to be an Adobe problem. That said, it might be interesting for you to run a program that is guaranteed to stress your machine. Try downloading PRIME95 and running it in "stress test" mode. It stresses hardware more than anything else I've tried. Hal

Lightroom pushes your hardware harder than most programs. Your crashes are almost certainly caused by overheating. You'll need to clean the dust out of the heat sink on your cpu chip. And out of the rest of the interior of your computer. Hal

Not necessarily. Lightroom can push your computer harder than most other programs.There are several free apps that monitor internal temperatures. You could run one while doing a large export and see what happens. Hal
