[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 625644, member: 13090"] I do use the Adjustment Brush in ACR and I like it for what it is. It's great for "spot" adjustments and quick corrections. Like most of the tools in ACR it lets you get quite a bit done in a pretty short period of time. That being said I disagree with the statement, "you are always better off making every adjustment possible in RAW before going to PS." I use ACR to a certain extent because, as I said just a second ago, it's often [I]faster[/I] than doing a similar adjustment in Photoshop. But... Unless I'm using ACR as a Filter I lose the ability to do things like change the opacity and use blending modes; and that's huge for me. Also, sometimes I simply prefer to do things a certain way in Photoshop instead of ACR because that's how I roll; and that's okay. So yeah, the Adjustment Brush in ACR is way cool; a very potent tool I would urge you to learn; but don't get hung up on the idea that doing something in ACR is better than doing that same thing in Photoshop simply [I]because[/I] you're doing it in ACR. ACR is another tool in the bag; no more, no less. Use it as you see fit. [/QUOTE]
