Camera Raw

After updating PS to 21.2.0, I was so unhappy with the CR plugin (12.3) that I contacted Tech Support and they gave me a link to revert back to previous plugin.  That has screwed EVERYTHING up.  Now, any RAW / DNG file brings up a strange CR screen with all of the controls missing and it's now obviously all corrupted.  I've tried uninstalling and re-installing PS from CC site and it is still screwed up.  Tech keeps giving me links that are supposed to overwrite the old plugin but I can't get any detailed help.Quite frustrated.

I'm looking to use the DNG SDK to write DNG files from quad bayer RAW image data but I'm not sure if DNG actually supports this bayer pattern. I have found DNG sample files from cameras which use quad bayer sensors but analysing the DNG/TIFF tags they're not correctly reporting a quad bayer pattern. Does anyone know if DNG actually properly supports quad bayer?  

1) Muscle memory has me clicking [Done] or [Cancel] instead of [Open].  Why, why, why did Adobe change the position of the buttons?  It's probably the most idiotic thing any software developer can do. 2) The missing icons in images in the Filmstrip that showed an edit had been done.  I very frequently open up to a dozen variants of images, and only open into PS those that I have edited in ACR.  Now I can't easily see which they are.  Sometimes there is an icon when I hover over an image, but most times not.

So I tried to install the 12.3 Adobe DNG Converter because the Photoshop program is too old to otherwise open my camera RAW files. However when I try to install it I just get an "Error opening file for writing: (directory)" message. Was wondering if this has an easy and apparent fix or otherwise if anyone has a solution for this issue. 

I just updated to the new and "improved" June 2020 ACR.  I have found that I much prefer the previous version, especially the crop tool.  Is there any way to revert to the former workspace?     {Thread title edited by moderator}

I re-installed the previous camera raw after the recent update but now, I cannot 'open with' camera raw as I used to directly from Bridge.  The Camera Raw Preferences is greyed out.  I can open in camera raw from Photoshop but I used to be able to open in camera raw direct from Bridge without even opening Photoshop.  Any ideas anyone?  Thanks

Where/how do I access the masking slider that was just below the sharpening sliders.I used it it All the time to mask out potentially noisy ares  

I installed Camera Raw 12.3. And now all my personal Profiles are gone. I tried do install my *.xmp Files but no Profiles was showed. I only see the standard Profiles. All atempts to import my personal Profiles failed. Error Mesasge: "Profiles and specifications cannot be imported. All elements have already been imported." How can I access my specifications (*.xmp Files)? Please help.  

Dans la nouvelle version version de Camera Raw, où est passée la fonction "Auto" des réglages de base (exposition, contraste, etc.) ?

After installing the "update" I can't figure out how to get the photos on the left side like they used to be rather than the bottom. How do I do this?  Thanks

I use Adobe Lightroom CC and Adobe Photoshop CC as part of my image processing workflow. I have a Fuji X-T2 and have read a number of articles that intimate that Lightroom Struggles to process Fuji RAW files effectively.I have processed a number of my files in a selection of RAW converters and have found that although the detail in the converted file seems to be in line with other applications there does appear to be some obvious color tone loss in the Lightroom conversions. I have included an example export below to illustrate the issue. It would be good to understand the roadmap for Adobe in respect to X-Trans RAW file processing. I do not want to switch software but I feel that I am not getting the best results from my RAW files currently.The image below shows a comparison of default processing from Lightroom on the left and MacPhun Luminar on the right. Note the Luminar conversion shows a greater color tone range in the foliage.

The little eyes on right of each panel header do not function consistently. Sometimes, they toggle on and off the effects set in a panel. Other times, they switch off the effects in a panel permanently. The latter is pretty consistent behavior in the geometry panel, and after that happens, most of the other eyes misbehave. Please investigate and fix.

Recently changed camera from Panasonic Lumix TZ80 to TZ90, which also produces JPEG and RAW images. Have long used Adobe DNG Converter (version 9.4.0.548) to convert TZ80 RW2 images to .dng for editing etc in Photoshop Elements 12 (in Windows 7). That converter will not convert the TZ90 RW2 images (apparently same format as TZ80 RW2 images). Have tried downloading current Adobe DNG Converter version (12.2.1?) but it will not install and open for testing on RW2 files. Please advise.

I understand tweeking and developing new ideas for a product, but this latest update to Camera Raw is horrendous. I can't even begin to find the functions I use most frequently. What's worse, the older versions don't even appear to be available. You have made what would have been a 20-minute project undoable! I need to be able to directly control how much of the image will be affected by a change in noise reduction. I also want the old cuve function back.

Hi,before the update to ACR 12.3 the adjustment brush would keep its settings as long as the user did not change them. Now I have to load one of my presets every time I switch over to a new picture. The old behavior was perfecet since one would sometimes work on similar pictures and therefore use the same brush settings over the span of several picture. Now it is as cumbersome and illogical as the use of the brush in LR. Who can think of this as a good idea?Cropping in ACR 12.3 is practically unusable for me (i7, 16Gb, internal graphics). It used to be fine, ACR used to be fine and fast. Not anymore.The UI changes are not great but something one will (have to) get used to. But changes in fundamental functionality are simply stupid. 

Hi!I recently bought a new camera; Canon 5D mark IV and now i cant open my raw files i bridge cs6 even though i updated everything it says.. and i need to fix this as soon as possible. please help me!

how do you change the defolt interface? after the update it was requested but now I can't find a way to change the interface

They forgot default button on each panel : for example, when I make changes in the color mixer and after continuing to work the image I see the colors should go back to default  I have to select colors one by one and set to zero again. Also the crop tool is horrible: if you make a selection for crop but want to remove (instead of resizing it) and select again you must go to the menu and 'reset crop' and then search again in a list for the aspect because it really resets the crop; yesterday I just had to click outside the image to reset crop but not the settings for new crop aspect.I believe they forgot to include the loupe also - I have to press a key in the keyboard to open the loupe but sometimes , until yesterday, I prefered to click on the loupe button. But I am still searching for the loupe. The new layout is weird and I really don't understand why these confusing changes.

Just updated to new ACR, when you crop in ACR is there a way to make the new image default to fit page? 

The cropping is reverse for me, cant select and crop. Also, when done editing photo and selecting "ok" it looks different within the program. SO PISSED!

Need some help with the latest upgrade (what an oxymoron).  Where's the mask in sharpening?  Thanks.

I update camera RAW to12.3 and  UI was change can I change it back to older version

A couple of problems with the camera profiles for the Nikon Z7.1. When changing the white balance from "As Shot" in Adobe Lightroom or Camera RAW, the program creates a magenta cast on all Nikon Z7 images. This is true for all Adobe white balances and all the camera white balances. Returning the Tint slider to its original location removes almost all the magenta cast that was introduced. I believe this was an issue that was fixed for the Z6.2. There's something wrong with the way that Adobe is reading or applying the Built-in Lens Profile. It seems to apply the corrections correctly for the Z lenses, but when using adapted F-mount lenses the profile isn't applied even though Lightroom claims that it is. If you manually apply the profile for the F-mount lens, it gets applied correctly. This also impacts stitching in panoramic photos. I can get a perfect stitch from a D850 with the same lens whereas using the same properly adjusted for the camera/lens RRS pano system and same lens with a

Does anyone know where I can find the luminance slider in this new version of Camera Raw? I found the color mixer one but I cant find the regular one so I can use to smooth skin on a black and white photo. Any help would be appreciated!
