[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I've run this by the Adobe Lightroom Forum and Alien Skin Support without a solution so I thought I'd try it here, since I know there are at least a few regular users of these programs in attendance: 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. When something like this occurs to me I usually assume it is operator error but I can't figure out what it might be. If anyone has a suggestion I'd appreciate it. --Bob
