Title: Copy brush area?
Post by: sdwilsonsct on November 04, 2011, 02:45:41 pm

Hi -- Sometimes I have one area that I would like to apply several adjustments to, such as sharpening, increasing contrast and decreasing highlights (for example). Do I need to use the brush in the same area for each adjustment, or is there a way to copy a brushed area from one adjustment (e.g. sharpen) to another (e.g. contrast)? Thanks! Scott

Hi Scott.  There is no practicable way to use a Brush mask created in one Adjustment Brick with another Adjustment Brick.  (You can find the mask in the Library package, but putting it to use elsewhere is a laborious hack.)

This comes up regularly.  It might influence the development of Aperture if you add your voice to this feature request.  Feature requests and other feedback and made through a web form.  You can jump to it from Aperture by using "Aperture→Provide Aperture Feedback".
