Can you disable the live preview when scrolling over presets in ACR 10.3?

Hi, is there anyway to disable the realtime live preview when scrolling over presets in ACR 10.3? This is a new feature and wasn't present in previous versions of ACR. I find it slows down my workflow. Is there an option to turn it on and off? It's a burden when trying to batch edit a large volume of images. Thanks for any help!

Hi jonathanf2,

Thanks for your valuable feedback. The live previews of presets cannot be disabled in ACR as of now since this is how we designed it to function.

However, could you please let us know how it is slowing down your workflow in camera raw?

Thanks,

Akash

Remove this thing, it has no use.

    It does slow down my process, because every time I hover my mouse over the left preset panel it changes the image.  And sometimes it leaves the preview showing even though the preset hasn't been selected.  This causes me to have to go back over the left preset menu with my mouse to reset it.  Please take the preset preview away.  I made my presets, I know what they look like, I don't need my hand held when selecting them.

    I don't want LR thinking, hogging up resources, or doing anything other than what I dictate it to do with an actual click of my mouse.

    Hi fetanugs,

    Thanks for the update.

    I'd recommend that you share your feedback on our Camera raw feedback community here: Camera Raw and DNG | Photoshop Family Customer Community ​so that our Engineers can look into the possibilities of improving/modifying the preset live preview workflow in Camera raw.

    Regards,

    Another year later and this thing is still annoying.  obviously with larger files sizes and more presets it will slow operations down, and time is money.  Stop holding onto this unnecessary feature simply because you added it.  Do the right thing and remove it, or come up with a solution so users can disable it.

    The slight slow down is minor, but it's enough to be noticeable. It's not necessary for my work flow to preview each one, especially if I'm working on a large batch of images. For presets that are minor adjustments like adding a vignette or noise reduction, I'm already aware of the intensity so a preview becomes redundant when trying to work quickly. I would highly appreciate the ability to turn it on and off in a future update.
