P: Support cataloging PSB files

Camera Raw has never had an option for "Custom" background/apron color. I'll make that part of this a feature request

I have been a regular Photoshop user since 1991 and am a photographer and color correction specialist. I am dismayed that you can no longer create a custom color interface in Adobe Bridge and new versions of ACR. It is important for my workflow to have a consistent 18% grey throughout my entire process from Bridge to ACR to Photoshop. Currently, only PS allows for a custom color background. Bridge and ACR have removed that option in recent versions. Please reinstate those options if at all possible! Thanks, David Ulrich

This is almost certainly a result of switching frameworks for the new UI. Settings are completely different and its now tied to the overall theme.

Lightroom was always a transitional product.  It had an image processor and a database management system.  Other products like Phase One and Photoshop now have almost all of the image processing features of Lightroom.  You would think that Adobe would emphasize the database side.  Most professional and many serious amateur photographers have image databases containing thousands of objects. These databases each represent a considerable investment in time and money.  I am not aware of any product that competes with Lightroom's capabilities to maintain large catalogues with keywords and suchlike.  However, if pressed, I could make do with Photoshop and perhaps Adobe Bridge.
By not supporting the many new cameras with big sensors and high shutter rates, Adobe is writing off many of the leaders in its customer base. By not improving tethered input they are writing off many others. I guess they were signaling that when they renamed it Lightroom Classic.  If they concentrate on the lower end of the bell curve, someone like Apple will destroy their entire business model with a $20 app.
I don't know about others, but I often get asked by Adobe about what is needed for Lightroom.  I have several times mentioned the lack of support for .psb files.

I have been using Brige to come around this problem, but yesterday Bridge stopped working too, wont load, no splash screen, tried to reinstall 5times, the old versions wont work ether, latest W10.So with Brige not working for who knows how long and LR still not supporting PSB files......

This is a major issue, AND it is just getting worse. Come on Adobe!

Every day I get this issue... until Adobe's Photo cataloging app will accept Photoshops PSB file I'm left to inefficient workarounds. Files are getting bigger, where is the support Adobe?

I just went and bought On1 instead of renewing my "cloud crap." Hopefully, this will work better than Lightroom and Bridge for me.

I've posted this concern / request / plea also (on a different thread, years ago).  Adobe has made some strange business decisions over the years, but supporting your core customer base remains a sound business practice.  We need to manage our digital images and videos... please don't abandon us Adobe and drive us to another software vendor!

BTW - I'm using a workaround that's a Lightroom plug-in.  It's nowhere as good as real PSB support, but automates the manual workaround I was using.  Here's a link. http://www.johnrellis.com/lightroom/anyfile.htm
