Can we have the Color grading panel from ACR as an Adjustment layer in PS?

Now if we want to use it not for the raw processing at the beginning, but for the final image after retouching, we have to merge the layers, make a Smart object (to adjust the settings later if needed), open it in ACR... an Adjustment layer would be handy & time-saving 🙂

As Stephen implies, you can already do this as a smart Camera Raw filter. You don't need to reopen the file in the ACR processor.

I fully agree that, as re-editable adjustments go, adjustment layers are simpler and more convenient than smart filters. But considering that the functionality in question is already available in a slightly different form, it's hard to see this getting high priority. Unless a lot of people vote for it.

That would be the Camera Raw Filter, not Adobe Camera Raw?
