P: Display Focus Points

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.

Merged to a wrong topic Please reference the new topic here: How about a "mask" to show areas of sharp focus?

Lightroom 4
Please add focus points ...this because it is easier and faster to see if i had a correct focus on the " moving " object ..or not !
I am sorry but I found it handy in Aperture and used it when photographing birds or animals .
Now that i've switched to LR#4 i miss the option.....it makes my workflow slower.

Display camera focus information would be very nice to have in Lightroom.

CaptureOne's noise reduction is not up to par with Lightroom, nor is the sharpening. I strongly recommend trying it, in case you like it OK, and if you don't, you'll appreciate Lightroom that much more. Please do share after you give it a go...

Yeah, I tried Capture One again after Lr4 came out, just to see again / compare.

It has some nice tools/features, but quality (for D300 pics anyway) is not as good.

They have a 2ndary cataloging program that you buy as an add-on, which I didn't try...

I can't tell, you'll need to try it to discover that, but there's is a good chance of good result I think.

Thanks Alban, that is very informative. I am shooting with Nikon D800 (36 Mp). Do you think the sharpen tool will be good with that camera?

I've tried a lot Capture One in the past (few month last year), it is a very good software, especially for portrait/studio photographer, skin tones, A so good white balance tool too, tether...

On the over side Capture One does not work so well with Noise reduction and the Sharp tool is awful especially with low megapixel photo (< 25 Mp). I think that Capture One is more designed for medium format.

Capture One's interface is fluid, simple to use and to configure. It have a very personal workflow and no catalog tool. So with not a very strong organisation, a big mess comes very fast in your files.

I'm very exited to use the focus tool before install the soft, finally it is not so useful because is not so accurate, and I didn't use it so much.
I prefer to see where is/are my active AF point(s) and jugde by myself the focus area.

There has been revived interest in Capture One. Capture one has a wonderful feature that tells you what part of a picture is in focus. People are also saying that Capture One does a better job quality-wise with Nikon D800 RAW files. I will try it myself.
