Great e-book.
I ran into a problem using custom brushes to insert a watermark on my photos using a local adjustment. They were sometimes skewed. It turns out the local adjustments are affected by lens corrections. And ALL brushes are affected, even the default circle brush. A couple of workarounds:
– turn off lens corrections in the Develop pane. This will correct the problem, even if already applied to your photos. But you lose lens corrections.
– do your complete edits, export your final image and then open the exported image and apply your watermark. Since the exported image will not get additional lens corrections applied, this works fine
– make sure lens corrections are turned on, create an additional layer (even a color fill layer will work – dragged below the image), then create a new stamped layer. You can then edit the stamped layer. Brushes will then not be distorted.
– before editing, apply JUST lens corrections and export your image as a PSD file and edit that file. Since lens corrections were applied before the export, this should work fine.
