Hello everyone!

wanted to use if conditionals in ACR, is that possible?

for example: I have different presets for different cameras

I don't believe actions are available in the normal Camera Raw but maybe as a plugin or something.

Any help will be much appreciated!

There are no actions or conditionals in Camera Raw, but you can save new defaults based on camera and or ISO:

Thank you Chuck, i know about this one unfortunately i need to distinguish 6 different angles of my products that were shot with the same camera (same serial number)

Hi AG,

Not sure what you mean by conditionals here. I can say that ACR is primarily an image adjustment application and does not have any scripting potential.

Can you please provide an example of what you expect to happen when using a Conditional with images? Mind you, I'm not a programer or scripture so please use simple language! ;>)

Hi gary,

Actions, in Photoshop for example, are set of commands that are executed by clicking one button, and therefore make the process a lot easier. Conditionals are IF statements, example: "IF the image is a square THEN apply preset "Square"", i don't think this is possible

My end goal is to distinguish between the angles as i told Chuck. I think eventually this will be done with AI & Machine Learning.

I have another nice idea that is very easy to do, give Presets keyboard shortcuts! this will be great and will help a lot.

Either way, I think ACR really need to take the next step and add Actions. It will give ACR another dimension and take it to the next level.

You can "Insert Conditional" from the Actions fly-out menu. It's a fairly generic and limited set, though:

ACR is perfectly actionable, but the action step will just record the current settings. You can, however, toggle the dialog on, and set parameters that way.
