Title: Problem with graduated Filters
Post by: peter.doerrie on November 27, 2008, 08:42:23 am
Hi,

I got a problem with the graduated filters. I don't know how it happend, but suddenly all the control points and lines are gone. I can still see the effect of the filter(s), but I can nnot see the button which activates the filter nor the lines to manipulate it. Hence, I can not manipulate the graduation and can not change the adjustments after i deselected it. Therefore this feature is at the moment essentially useless.

Anybody got an idea what this is about?

Thanks,

Peter

Silly  answer but, is the grad module (M) turned on? and you're in Develop (D) mode?

Yep

both active. As I said, I can still draw a graduated filter, but I can not see the lines indicating its parameters.

To clarify the problem I have added a screenshot.


As you can see, I have activated the corresponding panel. The picture shown has a graduated filter applied to it, but you can not see the controls (controlpoint, lines).

EDIT: I use the german version of Lightroom2

Ok I have found the "problem". For others searching this forum in the future: activate the graduated filter control (hit M) and then hit "H" (i expect for "hide"). That should do the trick.

Same with noise removal tool, hitting H hides/shows (toggle).
