Lightroom help reqd...

When using the clone / heal tool in LR5, how do I get rid of all the little circles when I'm working with the tool?

 

They disappear when I click DONE, but the little buggers come back if I return to healing.

 

Sometimes, they just get in the way of a bit of tricky dabbling.

Hi, Korky,

It could be that you gave the OPACITY slider right up, this will give a very hard edge to the cloned area......go to where you adjust brushes, when the CLONE tool is in use, you will see a pair of sliders, one for brush size and the other for Opacity.

Lower the opacity to leave a softer edge.

Please let me know if that solves your problem.

The little circles are there to show you the location of any previous brushes you have used.  Click on them and you can select that brush and edit it.  As for hiding them, not sure!

Bottom left of the screen.  "show edit pins"  change to never.

Matt - Thanks for those hints - very useful. 

 

Fooj - I've never really played with the clone tool opacity I just control the brush size with the mouse wheel. But I shall now - in fact I've had a go already. Thanks!
