Tips for Using Lightroom Graduated Filter, Radial Filter and Adjustment Brush in Develop Module Plus Clone and Heal Tools

New to begin, be certain Brush is in “New” mode (at top right of Brush Panel)
Keyboard shortcuts:
Spot Removal/Clone “Q”
Graduated Filter, “M”
Radial Filter “K”
Brush open/close “Shift + M”
Reveals an adjustment’s mask “O”
To create an eraser brush “Alt”
Spacebar to open image magnifier
Reveal pin markers (brush indicator point) in an image “H”
Remove individual pin markers “Alt + Click (on marker)”

With adjustment open, hover and Click over pin marker to make it activate
Reset (located at bottom) of Adjustment panel resets adjustment
Reset (located at bottom of Develop Module deletes all pin markers and removes all changes
Done On toolbar “T” closes adjustment panel
Brush in destination for Clone tool first then move marker to area to be cloned

Double Click “Effect:” to reset all sliders and return preset menu to “Custom:”
Click preset menu to right of “Effect:” to choose brush preset
Save brush settings at the bottom of the option menu “Save Current Settings as New Preset”
Double Click on the title of any slider resets slider to zero “0”
Brush a straight line: Choose options, “Click” move brush to desired location then “Shift + Click
Color is a box to the right of “Color:” beneath the sliders and is used to add a hue (H) to the brush as desired, be certain to adjust color saturation at the bottom of the box.

Size, Feather, Flow Adjust size using mouse wheel, Feather to blend brush into image, Flow is like an airbrush control – lower reduces the airbrush’s flow rate

Auto Mask This option applies a brush to a selected hue when first applying a brush and may be activated while using the brush by pressing “Ctrl.” Clicking on a different hue extends the range of the mask

Density Increases or decreases the intensity of a brush, if set to 0 (zero) the brush acts like a brush eraser

Range Masking: Apply any adjustment mask then select Range Mask to create a range mask (a mask using selected colors or luminance values to further constrain an adjustment mask)

Color: Restricts (masks) an adjustment to a color or range of hues (“Shift + Click” for up to five color Point Samples) or cover a range of hues such as in a blue sky “Click + Drag.” This produces greater accuracy. Park the eyedropper over its “spot” when done.

Amount Adjusts the depth of the color range selected, lower is best (smoother) “Alt + Amount slider” for preview of masked area

Luminance: Adjusts brightness within target color range

Show Luminance Mask Reveals areas where luminance masking has been applied

Range Limits range of adjustment to selected range of luminance, moving the right slider to the left limits to darker areas, moving the left slider to the right limits to brighter areas, “Alt + Range slider” for preview of the range

Smoothness 0 – 100 is harder to softer (toward the right for more gradual transitions)

Depth: Requires a depth aware camera

At one time I thought that I had to make a selection before applying the adjustment brush but that isn’t true at all, in fact it may be counterproductive. So now I draw the mask using the adjustment tool first then apply the range masking then move sliders. You can move sliders until the planet falls out of orbit.
