The question was: >>Lightroom 2 has a really nifty feature called Adjustment Brush, which lets you make local (as opposed to global) corrections such as exposure and so on to specific parts of an image. I work on a raw image in Lightroom 2 and fiddle with it (crop, adjust exposure etc) and then open it in Photoshop CS3 where I use Alien Skin Exposure 2 to convert it to b&w. I then flatten the layers, save it as a .tif, and re-open it in Lightroom. At this point I can still make global corrections (exposure etc) but the local Adjustment Brush doesn't work. Alien Skin must be doing something to the image. If I go LR->PS->LR without using Alien Skin I don't have this issue.<< And the workaround is: Deselect Auto Mask and the Adjustment Brush will work. This has got to be one of the most arcane I don't understand it at all software glitches and workarounds I've ever seen. Not in a million years could I explain the how or why of this. If this is something that may be useful to you I am happy to send it along. That may be 1% of the LUG, but hey..... Regards, --Bob
