Crop tool in ACR zooms-out of image and does not return

We've recently moved our workflow from Lightroom into Bridge, as Lightroom has proven problematic managing hundreds of clients and galleries.  Bridge also allows us to work via Dropbox and we don't have any database-sync issues like Lightroom did.

 

One of the issues we're facing is cropping.  In ACR, cropping an image (C) for some reason zooms-out of the image, and does not return after the crop has been applied.  I can press Command+0 or "Fit" in the lower left-hand corner, but this makes cropping hundreds of images very inefficient.  I was hoping there is a solution to this bug, or whether Adobe is aware of it? 

 

Thanks much.

I am aware of this issue, however, I believe it has been fixed in recent versions of Camera Raw. Are you using Camera Raw 14.1 (the latest as I write this)?

 

When leaving the crop tool the view should return to fit view, and the one-click zoom value should return to what it was before you entered crop. You shouldn't have to use cmd+0 all the time. (There are a pair of zoom buttons to the lower left of the photo; the button on the left shows the percentage for fit view, and the one on the right the current one-click zoom percentage.) If you are using 14.1 and still seeing problems please share a screen recording, so I can see exactly what is going on in your crop workflow. 

 

Thanks,

David

Hi Michael, 

 

We are sorry for the difficulty with Camera Raw. We are here to help. Please share the exact version of your macOS. When cropping an image, Adobe Camera Raw applies an overlay that nondestructively crops your photos. The specific area of the image where you had zoomed in before changes after the photo has been cropped. If you are cropping similar sized images in Adobe Camera Raw, you can set the default zoom in the preferences as follows 

 

  • While in the Camera Raw window press Command + K (Mac) or CTRL+K (Win) to access the preferences page. 

  • Select the default zoom percentage as per your needs, which becomes a global setting and then single click on any image to zoom, it will zoom to that set percentage. 

Please check here for more details about crop in Adobe Camera Raw - https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/using/rotate-crop-retouch-images-camera.html 

 

Let us know if this helps! 

 

Regards, 

Sameer K
