Hi

Not sure if new to 3.4 or not.

If i make one adjstment brush corrections with certain settings....

eg
Feather - 62
Flow - 62
Density - 62

and then go and make a new adjstment brush with different settings,

eg
Feather - 40
Flow - 40
Density - 40

if/when i return to edit the first adjustment brush the feather flow, density settings are not honored as per the original choices made (62, 62, 62), but rather are the same settings as the 'last' adjstment brush.

Very annoying, as sometimes one needs to return to a old brush to add or subtract a bit more, but I have no memory of the original settings. This is critical, as we know the settings determine the harshness and degree of each brush stroke.
 
Yes, the brush settings are separate from the effects sliders, as indicated by the horizontal rule in the UI. I suspect that's part of why there's an A and B brush.

I can see how it might be usedful to have it work as you describe, though. Might be worth a feature request over on the official feature request forum.

I don't follow....horizontal rule? Excuse the idocy.

I don't see how the brush setting being separate from the effect sliders is relevant. Both of them should honor the history of the develop change?
 
Interesting use. I'd never considered needing to remember the size of the brush. I'd agree, it'd be worth putting in a request.
 
What I was trying to say, apparently poorly, is that there's a horizontal line dividing the two sections of the Adjustment Brush panel. The top section is labeled "Effects", and the bottom section is labeled "Brush". The top section is remembered as part of the pin, the bottom section is not.

You know it's rare i ever go back to a pin to make a change. After making an adjustment brush to some slightly over exposed clouds, i took an image into PS/SE2 and played with the structure (clarity) and noticed i had missed some minor edges of where the clouds met the hills.

When i returned to the pin to make some extra minor adjstments, i couldn't remember the brush settings (and yes victoria, the size one isn't important). The problem is trying to then match the subtleness of the mask.

I can not believe i haven't noticed it before and more importantly can't believe that this is not a gimmy in LR's metadata principal.
