P: OCIO and ACES support for full support 32bit image editing

In a similar way Affinity supports OCIO it would be great if Adobe atleast kept up. The plugin someone has made does not work properly and is far from ideal, it requires LUTs to be made for each possible combination, its not fluid at all and the result is often incorrect.

 

Full 32bit support is pretty vital in general for everything in PS

 

Photoshop is the industry leader and has been for years but if you don't keep up with the times you will loose your user base.

All developers have to allocate resources because they can't fix everything. We know they are working on a new compositing engine and maybe it will add more 32-bit support. My point is that this request is for niche functionality and there are bigger fish to fry.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion and they differ so that's just fine. But just because you don't need a feature and someone else does don't dismiss them as being a monitory . As you have seen everyone's needs are different so why do yours hold more value than anyone elses?

I've yet to see content-aware fill do a good job,  i've tried it hundred of times and always end up starting again and doing it manually.  I'm a photographer and retoucher and wouldn't be seen dead delivering work that had been content aware filled. Its just poor quality control. I implore you to raise your standards for your own sake.

32-bit is huge part of a VFX production workflow. If you don't know what it does then please don't even comment, you're wasting everyone's time. Just because you personally don't need a feature it doesn't mean 1000's of others don't.

You are an outlier then. I've seen a number of useful new features. However, its also obvious that the development team is overwhelmed and they need to work on the core program.

Content-aware fill is HUGE for us photographers.

What advantages do you have from working in 32-bit mode that 16-bit won't work for?

Most people don't need a poorly integrated 3d solution or content aware fill but that gets through. I haven't seen a useful upgrade in photoshop for at least 8 years.

Ok I'm gonna disagree. Most users don't need 32 bit support and I don't want Adobe wasting development resources on that when they have a lot of other things to fix beforehand.

I'd settle for 32 bit upgrades of all tools missing like histogram, Curves, .......   Almost 10 +/-  years since 32 bit per channel was announced.
