Title: Adjustment Brush Flow Control
Post by: pflower on March 10, 2019, 09:50:24 am

I normally use the adjustment brush with 100% flow and then tweak the sliders to get the effect I want.  However recently I have discovered that, seemingly at random - approximately once every 5 or 6 times I use the brush, the flow is adjusted to 30%.  I have never set the flow to 30% and when I discover it set to that always return it to 100%.  I can't detect any pattern to this.  But it is beginning to get rather annoying.

Any thoughts as what might be happening?

I am running the latest version of LR CC Classic on an iMac under OSX 10.4. 

Thanks

I've not experienced that on my machines - latest Lr CC Classic and Mac OS 10.14.3

Then again I usually set flow to 10-30% depending on what I'm doing.

Is there any chance you hit the “3” key while it was active? I think that would do it.

Thank you! I have noticed this phenomenon many times but have never linked it to a keystroke. In my case at least, I'm sure you are right.

Again thanks. That is precisely what I have done on occasions and explains the problem!
