Feature Requests

I love the Camera Calibration sliders. They are truly powerful color adjustments, especially when I want to change the “character” and response of certain sensors and something Adobe should be proud of. I have several presets based on those sliders and that is fine. But I would also like to include them when generating XMP/Creative profiles in ACR. Is there a reason they are disabled/not availble? 

I would like to request that the Adobe DNG Converter be installable, updated, and managed directly through the Creative Cloud Desktop application.Currently, DNG Converter is distributed as a separate manual download that requires users to periodically check for updates, download installers, and manage version control outside the Creative Cloud ecosystem. This creates unnecessary friction, especially for photographers and workflows that depend on timely camera-profile updates.Integrating DNG Converter into Creative Cloud would provide several benefits: Automatic Updates: Ensure compatibility with newly released cameras without requiring manual monitoring. Consistent Workflow Management: Allow users to manage all Adobe photography tools from a single interface. Improved Security and Reliability: Reduce the risk of running outdated versions due to missed manual updates. Better Enterprise Deployment: Simplify administration for organizations that rely on Creative Cloud for software l

Hi, I'd really like to see these two missing elements in ACR:1. In the NR tab - for AI NR - add a second control that would adjust ONLY the shadow reduction, independent of the overall level.2. In masks - add a color/chroma NR control to be able to remove chromatic noise only for specific areas.   Why is this necessary?As someone who processes photos taken with cheap cameras and smartphones, the problem of noise in the shadows on such cameras remains a persistent issue...forever casual photos from home, photos taken in the evening, and you get problems everywhere where the light doesn't directly hit.I can solve this problem, BUT now I have to create several layers for each photo separately, paint masks, and this takes time and effort, especially if we're working with RAW and extracting a lot of information.If this appears in ACR, it will be a lifesaver!   For more than 10 years, I would have ranked this problem in the top 3. When I increace the shadows, noise appears, especia

Hello Adobe Camera Raw Team,   I would like to suggest adding an option to customize keyboard shortcut keys in Adobe Camera Raw. Custom shortcuts would greatly improve workflow efficiency, especially for photographers and retouchers who work with large batches of images daily. Being able to assign personal shortcuts for frequently used tools such as Basic adjustments, Masking, Healing, Presets, Compare view, and Reset would save time and reduce repetitive mouse actions. Many professionals already rely heavily on keyboard-driven workflows in Photoshop and Lightroom, and having the same level of shortcut customization in Camera Raw would make it even more powerful and user-friendly. This feature would be especially valuable for: High-volume editing workflows Wedding and portrait retouching Users transitioning between Lightroom and Camera Raw Power users with custom keyboards or control surfaces Thank you for continuously improving Adobe Camera Raw. I hope this feature can

I made a custom profile for a Google Pixel 9 Pro using Calibrite Profiler. Camera Raw will not allow me to use the custom profile because (per Adobe tech support) the profile doesn't specify if it's for the front or rear camera. Aside from the fact that that doesn't, or at least shouldn't, matter, I should still be able to select any profile I want. There's no difference between me using an inappropriate profile and using any of the canned profiles available in Camera Raw. It's all just altering color information based upon a curve, so let me pick whatever I want! This makes it so that I can't support some of my customers based upon the workflows they're creating using the equipment they have. 

Disable the "Open in Photoshop" button in Camera Raw   I'm working in Camera Raw and sometimes I accidentally press the Enter key (sometimes by me, sometimes by the Cat) and Photoshop opens. I've been looking for a way to configure Camera Raw so that the "Open" button doesn't appear and the Enter key doesn't work either. This has been happening for a while. This function should exist for those of us who work only with Camera Raw and then separately with Photoshop from Bridge or Explorer. Please, if anyone has a solution, or if Adobe should enable this feature, as I've seen it online and discussed it with colleagues, it's a real problem.  Kind Regards... Desactivar boton: Open in photoshop en camera raw Estoy trabajando en Camera Raw y a veces presiono accidentalmente el botón Enter (a veces yo y a veces el Gato) y se abre Photoshop. Busque la menera de configurar camera raw para que directamente el boton abrir no aparesca ni tampoco funcione la tecla enter. Es algo que

Nikon cameras stores the focus point that was in focus and the exposure was taken. This would be extremely valuable to see for a sports/action/wildlife photographer.

As a timelapse and landscape photographer, I need this feature so much! Birds suddendly appear in different parts of the frame & look like rubbish in the final video.   I know some tricks in AE/Pr how to remove them fast with the Lighten blend mode by duplicating the same footage and moving it 1 frame forward, but it doesn't always work perfectly. It often gives artifacts. Being a perfectionist, I do it manually frame by frame in PS with the Spot Healing brush. Can you imagine how time consuming it is? 300-500+ images to clean... At sunrise the birds wake up and are very active. Almost the same thing with the sunsets. That's why I need the feature like birds removal. I'm sure it would be useful for many landscape photographers.   P.S. I can even provide a few timelapse series (hundreds of shots) to train your algorithms.  

It's high time to add this useful feature from Capture One to ACR 🙂 Skin uniformity.   Very often people have some skin issues like a red nose, uneven skin tone, etc. It'd be a great timesaver in ACR (rather than solving this in PS). By the way, it exists not only in Capture one. There's also Infinite tools plugin, called Unify.   Adobe, what are you waiting for?! We need this in ACR & LR!    

I need a way to have ACES in Camera RAW natively so I can load RAW photos that use ProPhoto since that doesn't exist as a color space in ACES 1.3 in AE. It would be so much easier to convert my stills directly to ACEScg and not need to double convert to external files.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_Color_Encoding_System 

In Camera Raw, there is a half-buried setting to write changes to XMP. Unfortunately there is no way to specify that settings should always be written to XMP, so every file I process, I have to manually run that command.   How about adding a preference to always write changes? I move files between machines as my workflow, I use presets and dng profiles, and everything blows up if changes aren't saved out.

SInce last update - I am on CR 17.5.12319 now - the inner circle (feathering amount) has not been visible. I can still adjust the feathering on the slider, but the graphical interpretation has gone.It's on two Windows 11 machines - a laptop and a very well spec. desktop, so I don't think it's a hardware issue.I don't know if this is on purpose, or perhaps somebody has made the same observation.Jan, DK

  Why don't we have a Saturation Range Mask here yet? 🤨   A separate saturation adjustment tool would help us quickly target and fix oversaturated and undersaturated areas, without navigating through multiple tabs and other sliders.

Many people have beautiful, natural freckles that often get softened. Manually enhancing them in Photoshop (with dodge&burn or channel masks) is effective but time-consuming. Add  a one-click "Enhance Freckles" filter within Adobe Camera Raw. Smart Auto-Detection: the filter should intelligently identify and select freckle patterns.Adjustable Sliders: Lightness, Contrast, Hue, Saturation. A wide range of values should allow us to do everything from boosting freckles to mostly eliminating them. This would provide a fast, intuitive, and non-destructive way to accentuate a subject's natural character.

Please consider adding a Midtone Adjustment slider to the Develop Module in Lightroom Classic and ACR.  This adjustment slider would be in addition to the other sliders.

Try to crop a 6003 x 4002 image to 6000 x 4000 in one go.   You click and drag, then release your LMB. Now your image is 5999 x 3998. You zoom in your image to get better precision and try again, and this time you get 6001 x 3999. ....   Please implement Photoshop's Canvas Size (⌥⌘C) feature into ACR.

This seems very obvious but having the thumnail strip on the right hand side of the image in camera raw would save a lot of mouse/pen movement across screen when editing mutiple images. I wonder how many miles my cursor has moved this route over the decades:) Apologies if this has been discussed before.

Please give us an option to permanently disable the new-ish toolbar that pops up over the image when using the Color Mixer in Camera Raw. It’s distracting and keeps getting in the way, and I'd rather not have to hit close every time it pops up.

I'd like to see different shape options for the Adjustment Brush and Clone/Heal tools. Circles don't work to well on linear objects. I'd like to see squares. If it doesn't require a great deal of additional code-writing, I'd like to be able to rotate and change the size of the square brush. Just a thought.Jimwww.JMartinHarris.com

Hi Adobe team 👋 First of all, I want to say how impressed I am with the new “Remove Dust” feature in Camera Raw. It works incredibly well — the AI mapping and automatic cleanup of lens dust is a huge time-saver and very accurate. I’d love to suggest an extension of this feature to cover other types of image contamination, especially dead or burned pixels caused by sensor damage. In my case, my camera sensor was hit by a laser, and now I have a few fixed pixel spots that appear in every photo. When I use a fixed lens, the position stays consistent, which makes it easier to correct. But with zoom lenses, the location of the damaged pixels shifts slightly, so I have to manually fix each image one by one. It would be amazing if Camera Raw could include a “Remove Pixel Damage” option — something that detects and corrects these recurring pixel artifacts across a batch of images. I believe this could be implemented similarly to the dust removal logic, and it would help many photograph

I know the sliders allow to fade in and out the selected range, but this still produces bad results in several situations. Blur is different from fading, and it gives better results under many circumstances.

Hey, Adobe! why isn't it here yet?! It's a super handy feature to compare the files. Especially when they are shot with different camera settings / lighting conditions, but you have to make them look similar.   Lightroom has this feature for ages, but as a retoucher I have small series & process them in ACR.   (the screenshot is from a Youtube tutorial)  

It would be good to have an "are you sureyou want to dismiss" request after pressing ESC in ACR. I have occasionally pressed it by accident and it dismisses ACR instantly which can result in hours of lost work. It would be good to demand a confirmation to save us from our own finger trouble!

I'd like to have the cross closing icon at the upper right corner of the ACR window.The same function as the Cancel button, but in a more user friendly location, IMHO 🙂When I open files for a qick review and then want to close the window, intuitively I move the cursor to the upper corner... again and again. I believe, I'm not alone, heh
