Feature Request: Persistent Snapshots for Photoshop Camera Raw Filter
I would like Photoshop to support persistent, named snapshots for Camera Raw Filter adjustments, similar to how snapshots work in Adobe Camera Raw when opening RAW files.
ACR snapshots are extremely useful because they let users save multiple versions of a RAW edit and return to them later. But when using Filter > Camera Raw Filter inside Photoshop, there does not appear to be an equivalent way to save named ACR Filter states for later comparison.
This would be very useful for photography workflows where Camera Raw Filter is used after an image has already been opened from RAW. When I return to Photoshop and later go back into Camera Raw Filter, if I want to build on a previous ACR Filter version, I first have to recreate the original settings instead of simply returning to a saved snapshot.
Ideally, Camera Raw Filter snapshots would be bound to the specific Photoshop History State from which Camera Raw Filter was originally invoked. That way, the saved ACR Filter snapshots would only appear when they are valid for that specific Photoshop edit state, avoiding confusion if the user later invokes Camera Raw Filter from a different History State.
This would make Camera Raw Filter much more powerful for iterative editing and would bring it closer to the flexibility already available in the regular Adobe Camera Raw workflow.
