Where Are The Radial and Linear brightness Filters?
I am a newbie. Please can someone tell me where to find the radial and linear brightness filters in On1 2019.
Kind regards
Chris

Hi Chris, I'm guessing that you're looking for the ON1 equivalents to those functions in Lightroom. ON1 does not have direct equivalents to them. However, you can use a Local Adjustment with the Masking Bug to do the same thing. Add an Adjustment layer then select the Masking Bug by pressing the B key. At the top of the screen you'll see a Shape pop-up menu when you can select the shape of the mask to be created.

I would just add that there are a couple of steps to use once you have chosen the Gradient tool or Masking Bug. BTW the gradient tool appears in the tool pane above the image when you chose to apply a local adjustment or when you click on the mask in a filter. You then have to choose the preset style (linear or vignette) to the right of the gradient tool symbol and the shape, further to the right.
It is worth looking at the User manual to learn more about how there tools work. On1 provides more functionality than LR to this feature.

Thank you all for your comments. I clicked on the left vertical tool stack where it says "Mask". Then I clicked on the top tool options where it says, "Masking Bug". Then selected "Vignette". Preset Vignette, Shape Centre.
There are 2 problems. (Due to my not understanding how to use the tools)
1- The mask is erasing pixels on the image.
2- It is not increasing the exposure in the centre.
I am used to LR where the radial and Linear gradient tools can increase exposure or the contrast of selected parts of the image.
I often use the radial gradient in LR to brighten selective faces in group shots.
How can I do this in On1 2019?
Kind regards
Chris

Please ignore my previous post. I have realised that I need to click the local agjustment button on the left. Then select the options on the top to get the shape I need. Then adjust the exposure value on the right.
Thank you all for your helpful comments.
Kind regards
Chris

Chris,
It is worth seeking out the You tube videos that On1 posts covering many topics including the tools and in the Support Forum in the ON1 website. The User Manual like many is function focused rather than process (work flow) but does provide worthwhile information on functions.
I think of the Brush tools as either a round brush applying the effect evenly in accordance with the Opacity and Feather, or the gradient options which include the Vignette and various shaping options. Of course you can always invert a mask within the Mask Panel on the right.
Another other tip that might help is in regard to the brush options; "Paint in" and "Paint out". It took me a while to realise that this is the same as the more familiar phrase, Paint in/ White (reveal) and Paint out/ black (conceal). You ca use the ALT key to reverse a stroke. Just hold down the ALT key while you paint; this undoes the effect stroke by stroke. Unlike LR you cannot use the X key to toggle between the modes.
You also have the ability to apply a blend mode to the effect you are applying and limit the blend to a chosen option - see the "cog" button in the top right of the Adjustment or filter panel. A bit tricky and a function that I am still working on.

You can use Shift-X to toggle the setting between Paint In & Paint Out.
