UPDATE:

We're interested in what changes you would like see in our products. Do you have an idea for a feature that would help your workflow? Is there a small change that could be made to make your life a little easier? Let us know!  Share an Idea, Ask a Question or Report a Problem and get feedback from the Product Development Team and other passionate users on the Photoshop Family product Feedback Site on Photoshop.com.

In future it would helpful if you could use this thread as a means to add

"Features" that you would like to see in future releases of Adobe Camera Raw.

Please do NOT create additional new Topics and try not to duplicate requests by other users. Also, be thorough in your description of the feature and why you think Adobe should consider it.

Oh, and if you find it necessary to comment on someone's feature request/suggestion, try not to get into a shouting match. The penalty for doing so is...

b If you're asking that a particular camera is supported in a future release or just taking the opportunity to carp that yours isn't then please do so in another thread!

    Hello

    As a feature I think that the adjustment brush pins should have a layers palette,so that they can be turned on and off, just as in Photoshop layers. There is a lot of space further down the tab.
    I am not convinced by the colour slider in the adjustment palette. A simple slider similar to colour temperature would be sufficient.

    Alex - DNG is a RAW file format and ACR [Adobe Camera RAW] is a tool to develop RAW file. ACR can develop .dng files, as can many RAW processors.
    All RAW files are unaltered by developing, so you never lose quality. The data regarding the developing is kep separate from the actual file.

    >childish, ignorantly,Moan,Whining,etc etc.Can you see this is name calling , something we learnt as children.

    No, I'm simply being descriptive of your behaviour.
    And yet again you ignore any relevant points made about your complaints.

    Hi Alex,

    As far as I understand, DNG is a 'lossless' RAW file format, and no quality is lost. (I have certainly not seen any loss of quality myself). DNG files are also compressed, which is a bonus if your camera does not compress its RAW files. (My Olympus E1 doesn't).

    However, I have found that some of the Exif (camera) data is lost when I convert the RAW files from my E1, but that is a minor problem.

    There is an added benefit, in that ACR 4.? does not create sidecar 'XMP' files when DNG files are opened and adjusted, but changes the DNG file instead.

    However, this might mean that your backup system needs to copy the whole DNG file, rather than the XMP file, which is typically only a few KB.

    I hope this helps you.

    Nigel.

    I would like to ask a question, is it possible that people who answer be understanding and not rude, even though the question may seem silly to some of you.I cant believe the unpleasantness of some people on this site.
    Can anyone tell me if there is a loss of quality by using DNG rather than ACR?
    I too dont have CS4 yet I cant afford it just now, so please, please can I just get an answer.

    childish, ignorantly,Moan,Whining,etc etc.Can you see this is name calling , something we learnt as children.
    Why does it upset you so, move on.

    In my view and the view of many on other sites CS4 is a poor upgrade...it happens.
    Remember Illustrator 7...or did you like that upgrade.
    Feedback is essential to Adobe so there it is...Maybe we can relabel Feedback as Moaning I am OK with that...

    The ideas I have given them a couple already through a different avenue.......for very obvious reasons.

    Who said I bought a new Camera?
    Please read carefully.
    I could call names like you but.......my man I an much better than that.
    Gretch

    Obviously not, judging by that childish comment.

    You only need the upgrade you request as someone in your department bought a 5DII - I did read post correctly and realise you personally do not have one, obviously you are being a bit literal. You is singular as well as plural in English.
    And once again, you ignored all the points I mentioned as to why your are moaning ignorantly and inappropriately about Adobe not doing things for nothing. Moan at Canon, they are the reason for the problem, not Adobe.

    >If you're asking that a particular camera is supported in a future release or just taking the opportunity to carp that yours isn't then please do so in another thread!

    FYI - This is part of the original ACR request post by Ian Lyons

    >I have a couple of ideas which would help my workflow..
    Gretch

    So why not post them rather than whining about irrelevencies and being rude to people?

    Can someone in authority knock this squabble on the head, please? It's polluting the Feature Requests topic.

    PS so rather than saying I need glasses or spending time trying to nitpick..Get with the program and help improve an already brilliant piece of software.

    I am sure we are all on the same team.
