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.

Greetings all,

Updates for Camera Raw are available. The July release (18.4.1) has an update regarding this feature request. If you do not see the update in your Creative Cloud Application, you can refresh it by pressing [Ctrl/Cmd]+[Alt/Opt]+[R]. Note: It may take up to 24 hours for your update to be available in your Creative Cloud app.

Thank you for being so patient.

Note: Camera Raw is the Edit/Develop Engine powering the Lightroom clients. New Edit features must be built in Camera Raw before the Lightroom clients can adopt them. Unburdened by the additional cataloging, syncing, and other workflow functionalities, Camera Raw can move more quickly to get these desired new features into your editing workflow. Our goal is to eventually port these features into the Lightroom clients.

Good idea Jim, but might get lost in this thread - maybe a new 'Idea'?

Hi,

Just being able to add a switchable overlay to the photo using the SDK would be a good step forward. Plugins could add whatever they wanted as a sidecar .PNG, for example. An additional 'decoration' icon would toggle each sidecar overlay.

Cheers,
Jim

I went ahead and issued a separate 'Idea' for a sharpness topography feature.

Although related, I see some important distinctions:

- Focus point display is more for learning - to try and understand the relationship between focus points used and what's actually in focus.
- Sharpness topography is more for culling - eliminating out-of-focus photos or choosing amongst a set of related photos...

Personally, I think these two features would complement each other very nicely.

My vote would go for the Capture One approach. A quick representation of the in-focus areas would rock.

Capture One reportedly has a new feature where a green mask is overlaid where the picture is most in focus (thumbnails as well). As an action shooter (sports, airshows, etc) that would greatly help identify OOF shots for disposal.

I wish that you implement "view focal poin" in the next version of bridge and Camera RAW. A shortcut to turn it on and off. This will improve my first look and rating on new imported photos.
Take a look at Aperture, I just love their focal poin.
My first choise is the combination of Bridge, Camera RAW and Photoshop.

This request is related to the following one :

ability to tag a picture region

as a focus point is no more than a region of the photo.

so we would need lightroom to be able to automatically create such a region from the makernotes in the XMP. That way it become standardized (region tagging is now a standard and include among other : face tagging, focus point,...) and would become readable by other software as well.

regards

I've only seen it when uploading... - my guess is they just give it the "once over" - but I really don't know.
