P: Camera Raw adjustments in context of other layers

currently when you use the amazing camera raw on a layer, it opens a separate interface which is great, but... alas, if you are in need of color matching you are facing a problem because you can't see the color correction in the composite psd document until you close camera raw.

if camera raw could be applied in both windows or have a view of the composite in camera raw as one of the views at the bottom this would be amazing. (btw, spliting the views with a way to actually move the split vertically or horizontally and not the layer would be nice)

if you want an example this is same as a color correction is applied to layers as an effect in after effects.

2025 and still not a solution.  Come on, guys, let me turn on a "background" of the rest of my project layers in the RAW window.  Or better yet, just add the RAW filter into photoshops window. This makes my life hard and slow; fix it.

Given that Adobe still hasn't implemented this much needed feature, are folks finding any work arounds other than comping in After Effects? I'd love to hear how people are getting around this problem in the interim because my solution is a bit clunky.

This feature has been in there for years. Consumer versions do not have it. If you are in the right circles you get the Photoshop version of your dreams.

Hi, I'm a Product Manager here from Adobe. Thanks to everyone who has provided so many great comments and suggestions. Here are my takeaways for the suggested improvements here: 

1. Ability to see real-time previews of adjustments 

2. Ability to see the effect applied to the entire composite rather than a specific layer 

 

Also, I'm looking to chat with a few of you 1:1, so request you to please fill up this form form so that I can reach out to chat further in detail. Thanks again!

Been needing this since I started in photoshop 15 years ago... hopefully it'll happen before I retire!
