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!

    1000 excuses, and thank you for the tip. Just filed #2 at Bridge forums.

    Bridge feature requests should go to the Bridge team (not related to the ACR team) in the Bridge forums.

    How about this:

    1) Being able to create Additive/Substractive White Balance/Hue templates: As of now (unless I am wrong) you can hardcode a specific temperature, but cannot create, say, a template that adds or removes 50K. This would be very very very useful when photos were not taken in the exact same lighting conditions, and white balance is fine tuned for each one. With this kind of templates you could, after that, make them all a little bit warmer/cooler while retaining their independent temperature/hue values.

    2) I do not know if this belongs to this team, but Bridge URGENTLY needs some decent metadata search capabilities (like "Show me all pictures shot at ISO 800" or "Show me all pictures with exp.comp. > 0.3). Absolutely any metadata field should be searchable independently. Apple grasped this ages ago. What's holding Adobe? (or at least just leverage those technologies if the OS gives them for free Spotlight for XMP? Smart Folders? Etc.)

    John, so it is. Though I never noticed that info ever after several years of using ACR. Obviously, not the most obvious place for the info! Very top of window if anybody else missed it.

    I'd still like to see EV values though as it's simpler for comparisons. I'd like to see the info under the histogram as that would make more sense.

    Please add native support for AWR files (from the Sony DSLR-A100) ASAP!

    Troy,

    The shutter/aperture is shown!

    If the exposure Value [EV] or shutter/aperture combination could be displayed in ACR then it would make matching shots taken under same lighting but with varying exposures much easier.
    Sometimes one varies the exposure even though the light is constant - testing for best exposure or possibly one knocks a dial inadvertently. Oops!

    Could you correct an inconsistency in the ACR/Bridge interface related to assigning ratings and labels? By example, in Bridge I can assign the Green label with the keyboard shortcut CTRL+8, and the "8" can be entered either from the numerical keypad or from the row of numerical keys. In ACR the numerical keypad does not work, the "8" must be entered from the row of numbers, which is much further from the mouse (at least for us right-handed folks).

    Another small suggestion, can you assign a keyboard shortcut to remove the label from an image? (That would apply to Bridge as well).

    Small potatoes I know, but these things really add up when processing tons of images!
