Suggestion to make Light and Effects tabs more intuitive, pragmatic and simplified in Camera Raw.
Texture, Clarity and Dehaze tools shouldn’t be recognized as effects. These tools are pretty much just another contrast sliders using different algorithms. That is why these tools should be moved to the Light tab.
What should be in Effects tab is Vignette, Grain and Lens Blur.
Lens Blur as a tab should be removed and moved into Effects tab as a new tool.
Effects tab to be dropped to the second tab from the bottom as it would become one of the least used tabs after the update.
Masking Menu:
In the Masking menu Light tab should be the same as the main menu containing Texture, Clarity and Dehaze. Effects tab to be completely removed. The Grain tool to be moved into Detail tab.
Detail tab in Masking menu could be renamed to ‘Details’ because it would contain slightly different tools from the main menu tab called ‘Detail’. It is to avoid confusion and teach users that Detail and Details tabs are different in the main menu and Masking menu.
Thank you.
