Lightroom Adjustment brush

sam80 · 27th of May 2010 (Thu)

I'm having a problem with the develop module using the adjustment brush. I haven't had any other problems with any other modules.

It can take Lightroom up to 2 seconds to catch up with the mouse, and when it does, it usually takes a a direct route to the cursor, rather than follow the route I have tried to select. After I have released the mouse button, the brush then continues to follow the cursor around the screen.

I never had this problem when I first installed the program, so after having a look around, I have moved the cache and increased the size to 10GB. This increased the speed marginally, but the problem continues. I also tried a different mouse to ensure that it wasn't the problem.

Apologies if this has been covered before, I did have a look through some other topics, but couldn't find any specific to my problem. Thank you.

Are you using LR2 or LR3 Beta?

Lightroom is pretty poorly coded IMO. ACR is much quicker unfortunately.

Lightroom 2.

I find Lightroom much better in terms of workflow that Bridge + ACR. Lightroom uses the same coding for the RAW development as ACR.

Well bridge isn't that great I would never use it. But lightroom is very limited once you get passed basic color treatment. The adjustment brush is laughable. I find myself exporting to photoshop much more than i'd like to.

I tend to stick to basic colour adjustments so Lightroom suits me.

Building 1:1 previews seems to have quickened it up, but it still jumps to where my cursor is when I'm not hold the mouse button.
