Question

Camera Raw 15.1 vs 14.x - Tonemapping of .EXRs

Dear community and Adobe Support,

in recent versions of CameraRaw it automatically did some tonemapping prior to opening the image. In v15 this behaviour has been switched (and no tonemapping seems to be applied on opening an .exr).

Can this be turned off to fall back to the old behaviour? Is there any other way of getting the exact same Tonemapping behaviour prior to doing exposure/gamma adjustments in cameraraw?

kind regards,
Rasmus

Does 15.0.1 exhbit the same problem? The 2023.1 Lightroom/ACR releases (including ACR 15.1) have a bug where they do not interpret some 32bit files correctly: https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-bugs/p-32bit-tiffs-broken-in-lightroom-classic-12-1/idi-p/13463114

    Thank you for your feedback @JtheNinja ,

    This might fall into the same category although I'm working with 32bit .exr renderings in my case. However in my scenario ACR15.1 in PS2023 does not show so obvious misbehaviour and wrong results.

    What do you mean by "automatically did some tonemapping prior to opening the image"

      Thanks digitaldog,

      In the following images you see cameraraw v13 vs v15. As you can see even before touching any slider CR is doing some tonemapping/auto adjustment, but it's not affecting the sliders. In CR15 the image stays exactly the same when you open CR.
      Regarding the new HDR setting in CR15 I'm pretty sure it is not what I'm looking for. I am not working on a HDR display, I just want to be able to switch back to the old "behaviour" from CR 13/14 or at least understand how to recreate it in CR15.
