I have the same problem and it's very annoying.

I can solve it by closing photoshop and reopen it but this doesn't work all the times and it continously repeat more times a days...

It's difficult working with this problem...

I work on IMac - Os X 10.8.5

Hmm...same happened to me just a minute ago.

Using the new ACR beta though. But it worked fine for a few weeks.

I'm still on OSX 10.6.8. Mac Pro 2x2.8 Ghz Quad Core and Photoshop CS6.

It happened to me on ACR 7 as well, but for some reason it just went away. Not sure what I did, but haven't seen it until now. Extremely frustrating because I was finally able to open my D610 files with the beta. And now ACR is useless

Same problem here and on top of that, Camera Raw can no longer recognize or use lens profiles for my lenses using D800 & D4.

I checked this today and I'm not able to use lens profiles either in acr. Mine were for a 50mm nikon lens.

One thing I found. I'll go down the adjustments panel and adjust color/temp first. If I hit the button just above the exposure slider/setting, the 'auto' button, it will adjust several settings including exposure. If I then try and adjust another setting the exposure setting does not move. It stays where 'auto' put it. However, once I manually adjust the exposure slider the same problem occurs. Exposure moves to zero or the next full stop, 1.0, 2.0 or -1.0 etc...

ok, that's all I got...

Hi David

its exactly the same for me .

Plus if i put the mouse excatly on the line i.g.of the exposure slider its an arrow

if i put the mouse above the line it changes into a hand with arrows right and left .

Now that works with every slider exept for the exposure slider . Here the mouse also changes into

a hand with arrows right and left , but i can t move the the exposure slider.

The the exposure slider i can only move if i m right on the line and the mouse is an arrow.

I also upgraded to camera Raw 8.3

It worked fine untill i had to switch off the Mac .

Afther the next start the problem with the jumping the exposure slider was back .

I have this same thing happening. I open a raw file. Adjust exposure up or down. Any other slider i move moves the exposure setting back to 0 or sometimes to 1.00. It'll go back to 1.00 if I set it higher than 1.00 or back to 2.00 if set higher.

I don't use acr much at all. Usually do my raw conversions in Lightroom. Yesterday had some test files not compatible with LR4 so I opened them with the acr in photoshop CS6. Adobe Camera Raw version is 8.2.0.94. I did upgrade photoshop recently. Some bug fixes. I have not installed the most recent release candidate of acr.

I'm on a mac. 10.8.5

thanks for any help...

ok, here's a short update...since acr 8.2 was usless the way it was working I decided to try the 8.3 release candidate that was put out recently...that solved the exposure slider problem...it now works as it should...

wait, shut down photoshop, re-opened, and it's doing the same thing...even moving between tabs or making the image bigger resets the exposure slider...none of the other sliders seems affected...

any ideas?...

I've not seen this happen -- very strange symptoms. Particularly the part about even just making the image bigger (which I assume you do by zooming in) causing the exposure slider to change.

May I ask -- what type of input device are you using? Are you using a mouse, trackball, some type of tablet? Are you adjusting the sliders using the device, or nudging up/down using the keyboard?

Hi Eric, I'm using a wacom with its mouse and pen...an intuos 3, small model...

I tried my computer this morning without it, restarted, and used the trackpad, same result. I'm using a macbook pro with wacom attached.

The exposure setting changes with any move I make afterward. If I click in another box to set say contrast with keyboard number, as soon as i click in the box the exposure resets itself. If I click on the magic wand to enlarge or reduce the image the exposure setting resets. If i click on the small menu, lower left hand corner to resize, the exposure setting resets.

The problem occurs using the mouse to move the sliders or clicking into a box to add a number.

ok, that's all I got...

short ps. I'm momo55, but the adobe forum was weird this morning, asked me to sign in again and I couldn't use my original name for some reason so i chose m.davidtaub...

PS :

but maybe i had only downloaded before ACR 8.2

but not the DNG 8.2

Is that possible ?

The DNG converter is a separate program and separate download, not an update. Not sure exactly what you did, but glad it now works.

I'm pretty much out of bullets. You might try reloading ACR 8.2, using the download version rather than from the Help menu. Also, have you applied all other updates to CS6?

Hi Richard

it does both

the slider jumps

and the image darkens significantly ( i.g. the slider jumps from 1.9 back to 1 )

I'm with Yammer, never have seen or heard of such, using same config on a PC. You might experiment some more, does entering a number give a different result than using the slider? However, it seems to me to be a bug, probably time to report in to Adobe.

Did this occur ought of the blue, i.e. all was running fine one day and then suddenly the problem appeared, with no changes to either system or application software? Have you tried it with several images, both raw and jpg?
