HSL 'adjust by dragging in the photo' not working

[MrJPH]

Hello,

Anyone else having this issue?  Ever since the latest update (2015.10.1) when going into the HSL adjustment panel, and clicking on any (Hue, Saturation, Luminance) of the "adjust _ by dragging in the photo" doo-dad, and then go to the photo to adjust, it is not becoming the adjust tool, but staying the magnifying icon, and just zooming in on the photo when clicking in the photo, instead of selecting that specific color to adjust.  It's rather annoying, as I use this tool quite regularly to fine tune specific colors within an image, and now cannot.

Any suggestions or info?  Thank you in advance for any time and help.

All the best to you,

JPH

This is a known bug introduced in 2015.10.1 acknowledged by Adobe: Lightroom CC 2015.10.1: Develop module: Target Adjustment Tools not working | Photoshop Family Custo... . Please add your me-too vote and details of your configuration to that bug report to make it more likely Adobe will prioritize a fix and to notify you when the bug status changes.

The only workaround so far is to roll back to 2015.10: Lightroom roll back to prior update version

Hi, John -

Thank you very much for your time and reply, and sorry I didn't find that it was already a known issue.

I tried to do what you said, and "Me too", but every time I clicked on it, it would tell me to login, even after I was logged in, just keeps bringing up the login box prompting me to do so over and over...  but, did find on the page, a gentleman who said to temp correct it, was to open LR whilst holding the Alt/Option + Shift keys, and reset one's preferences, which I did and now works (for now)... to the loss of all my settings, which is frustrating too, but I hadn't customized things too much (that I have noticed so far at least), so not too big of a hassle.

Thank you again for your help, and wishing you all the best and happy shooting.

UPDATE:  Okay, scratch that, moving on to my next photo to use the target adjust tool in the HSL, it now again does not work, and stays on the magnifying tool.  Frustrating... added that I cannot "Me too"

Right. Others report in that topic that resetting preferences only provides temporary relief. Rolling back to a prior version is the only known permanent workaround.

Hi all,

I am having the same problem. What I do is select "All', then select "Saturation" and then back to "All'. it will work once you do this.

Well done! This was driving me crazy. Hope they squash this little bug but this seems to be a work around.
