Question

Adjustment brush settings (ACR 12.3)

Hi,

before the update to ACR 12.3 the adjustment brush would keep its settings as long as the user did not change them. Now I have to load one of my presets every time I switch over to a new picture. The old behavior was perfecet since one would sometimes work on similar pictures and therefore use the same brush settings over the span of several picture. Now it is as cumbersome and illogical as the use of the brush in LR. Who can think of this as a good idea?
Cropping in ACR 12.3 is practically unusable for me (i7, 16Gb, internal graphics). It used to be fine, ACR used to be fine and fast. Not anymore.
The UI changes are not great but something one will (have to) get used to. But changes in fundamental functionality are simply stupid.

For the adjustment brush, scroll down to the bottom of the adjustment settings and uncheck the box "Reset sliders automatically".  The brush will then keep its settings when you switch to a new picture.  Similarly for the graduated filter and the radial filter.

Thank you.

For now I switched back to 12.2.1.. What a relief 🙂
