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!

    We need to have non linear color assignment like ACR in Photoshop.

    Feature request: Please add a navigator window.

    Problem: When the preview window is set to a large magnification, like 100 % or higher, then navigating across the image is awkward because the only way to move around in the image is the hand tool---there are no scroll bars as they would use up too much precious real estate on the screen. In particular when trying to find the optimal settings for the chromatic aberration correction, moving quickly from center to left border to right border and then back again at high magnification is important.

    Proposed solution: Similar to the Histogram/Info/Navigator panel in Photoshop, there should be another tab behind Camera Raw's histogram display, containing a navigator control (i. e. thumbnail preview window with a red frame indicating the main preview window's visible part of the image). Sharing the real estate with the histogram window, the additional window would not compete with the other controls for screen area and still would be quickly accessible.

    I would like this to be supported by more local universities. I know it's not a feature request, but it doesn't seem to be so wide spread.

    I would like a way to save custom crops in ACR.

    I have a client who needs event images cropped to 1056px x 594px to use in Intranet presentations displayed on large monitors in their hallways.

    I use 10.56 x 5.94 in the custom crop in ACR to do this. But whenever I crop an image to another size (ones that might go in their newsletter) I lose the custom setting and have to re-enter again and again to 10.56 x 5.94.

    I typically process a few hundred 'candidates' from their events (2-3 per month) and the image dimensions never change. It would be useful to have a way to add this custom crop value to the choices in the pull-down list?

    Thanks

    I went from Photoshop CS to Photoshop CS3 and in this version's Camera Raw program, I am agog that I can no longer cycle through my (50+) separate Presets. I spend a lot of time, often, creating a great adjustment for a photo and find it helpful if I can save all the settings in a Preset should it come in handy later with another photo, if for no other reason but to serve as a better starting point from which I may then tweak. In the past, all I had to do each time I opened a Raw file into ACR was select my first Preset in the list, and then click on my arrow key to move on to the next successive Preset and see one after another as they apply their settings to my photo. It saved a great deal of time. Now, I have to click the flyout menu, select one Preset, and the list disappears after each selection so I have to repeat the steps to see the second Preset, etc. What normally took me 30-40 seconds now takes several minutes. I'd love this function back!! Please!!

    I'm using a viewsonic CRT calibrated using spyder2express. Used on both an XP and a Vista machine, as well as on my laptop's screen with XP.

    The red-orange shift is seen on calibrated and uncalibrated systems, and also seen in the .jpg when exporting from LR (using srgb color space as the output, and viewing in both color-managed and non-colormanged apps, on both calibrated and uncalibrated systems.)

    The shift is not present in Canon's software (likely due to the proprietary data embedded in the RAW?)

    A number of other RAW converters do not show this color-shift... but of course, they don't have the tools that I like in ACR, either. :)

    Okay next questions. What display do you have, and how are you calibrating it?

    Don't know if you read this, but it may be of interest: http://lightroom-news.com/2007/03/28/camera-calibration-panel-tips/

    I'm using a Canon 350d.

    No, haven't used the script because I don't have CS2 or CS3. I'm an Elements and Lightroom user.

    While I'm glad to see some hardworking people have come up with a solution for many of us, I argue that it would be awfully nice if there were a way to avoid the shifts in the first place. I know some responsibility first lays on camera manufacturers to more fully document their RAW formats... but lacking that, I'd like to see Adobe be proactive in making progress to rectify this if at all possible.
