I have enabled the Distraction Removal feature in ACR, however it appears that this results in the disabling of the Enhance function.  I am attempting to process several old 6MP images from 2004/5 period, and after ebaling the distraction removal function, it ppears that the Enhance function is disabled, and thu you an't use both functions.  Any advice regaring this issue would be appreciated. (I am using Windows 10 with current ACR)

Correct answer Jeff Arola

After you check New AI Features and Settings Panel in Technology Previews, the Enhance functions are moved to under the Detail tab, so the Enhance menu item is no longer there when right clicking on an image.

    Jeff, thank you so much for your response.  This has driven me crazy as I couldn't find what had happened to Enhance.  I can now sleep easy.  Thank you.

    I too am unable to replicate this. Distraction removal (i.e. Reflections) works fine with all of the Enhance Functions.

    In what format are your 2004/2005 images? 

    When you say, "I have enabled the Distraction Removal feature in ACR," are you referring to this setting in Camera Raw Preferences? -

    Thank you Erik for your response.  Yes, that is what I mentioned as enabling Distraction Removal.  The image I am working on are Nikon NEF raw images from a D70.  I have tried again this morning, and whilt Distraction Removal is enacted and worked, a right click on the ACR raw image to engage Enhance, and Enhance is not visible.  I can still increase image size in ACR but it is probable that this differs from Enhance in the way it works.  I am just wondering that as the image files are now nearly 20 years old since shot, that their is something in the old files that prevents both features from working.  Will be interested in your thoughts.  Thanks again.
