Title: LR adjustment brush
Post by: chasgroh on November 12, 2010, 01:34:49 am
...when I increase the size of the brush past a certain point and *then* decrease it after use, it turns into an irritating 4 horizontal pip array.  I can only make it go away by exiting the program and restarting my machine (the phenomenon continues past closing the Lightroom program proper...so, to get it working properly again I have to restart the machine)...this has a history through previous versions. Anyone know what's up?

Which version of Lightroom? Which computer? Which OS? What version of OS?

FWIW, no problem on my Macs (10.6.5, Lightroom 3.2).

This probably isn't a LR issue.  You're seeing the symptom in LR, but my guess is it's somehow/somewhere related to the video card/driver/screen.

...this makes sense, only I've experienced the same condition on my older XP system (using LR 2.whatever)...machine I'm on is Win 7 64 bit utilizing LR 3...still a hmmmmmm...

Have you tried downloading & installing the latest drivers available for your video card?
