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!

    Ian,

    Thanks for starting this thread. Sorry I didn't see it yesterday. I started another thread last night but will post it here as well. I would like to see a CMYK readout in ACR, for use with the eye dropper tool.

    Ostensibly for compatibility with the Lightroom interface

    I'm also missing these features. If the only reason for removing individual autos was to save UI space, I would like these features back in other form. It is already possible to set individual sliders to auto, but this is no longer preserved when copying settings nor by presets (there is plenty of space in the New Preset Dialog and I can't see why not to remember individual autos when copying).

    But maybe there were other reason for removing them altogether?...

    I already posted a feature request as a new topic before I saw this thread. So here is my original text, please have a look:

    http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.3bb6a869.3bc42a03

    My feature request concerns noise reduction and I feel it would provide considerable benefit in reduction of noise in pictures shot in low, artificial light at high ISO.

    Best regards

    (This issue affects all Adobe code that attempts to recognise Pentax lenses. That includes Bridge and the DNG Converter).

    Please cater for the new 3-byte Tag63 in the Pentax K10D Makernote, so that lenses can once again be identified in relevant Adobe software.

    This isn't simply a request for a new feature. It is a request that Adobe restores an existing feature that has been disrupted by the Pentax K10D 1.20 firmware upgrade. Therefore. I've also started a new thread in case any Pentax users are puzzled about this regression.

    The thread I've started is at:
    http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.3bb6a85c.3bc423bc

    Example of the change: old Tag63: 04 FE; new Tag63: 04 FE 00. The effect is that the DNG LensInfo is now not set up correctly, and the XMP exif/1.0/aux namespace information is not set up at all. So the real name of the lens is not shown.

    You're not content with knowing what the pixels dimensions are?

    Frankly, I've never cared what the size of the file on disc is going to be.

    Well ACR 4.1 and still no way to know how big a file will be if you choose to change the export parameters in "Workflow Options". There is no way to know in advance the file size of any image before committing to a set of Workflow Options. I was hoping this would be a easy fix. Maybe next time.

    I'd just like ACR 4.x to not be crippled in Elements. I would likely upgrade if that were the case, but as it is I'll stick with Elements 3 + LR.

    Camera Raw 4 is fantastic. I can do most of my sports photo processing right in Camera RAW. Even ACR sharpening works well with my crop and up-rez workflow. Because I use the crop tool on almost every shot a couple of improvements occured to me.

    It would be nice to be able to store multiple user crop settings. I often go back and forth between 2400 x 3000, 2000 x 3000, 1500 x 3000 and 1728 x 1152. It's a real PITA to have to dial in the same user settings over and over and over again.

    Additionally a center marker, similar to that in Photoshop would be of great help in centering the crop over the subject.

    Other than that I have a hard time finding any flaws in Camera Raw. Good work Adobe.

    Just thought of another which would be useful:

    Better Batch processing in ACR - this hasn't improved since ACR's introduction. I thought that since the take over of Pixmantec, we would see some of the cool queue control features from Raw Shooter Pro inside ACR, such as the ability to delete specific entries from the queue, the ability to stop and start the batch queue also!
