- For first time, seems I don't have to always click Done, to make sure adjustments are safe. I'm seeing the change icons in the thumb previews on the left in real times. Is this new? Maybe just have not noticed before. It's auto saving finally? |
The thumbnails in ACR and Bridge show the changes as you make them. This is not new.
ACR can use the GPU so it might be faster.
- It seems to be creating duplicate, after cropping - backups in real time, is this new? Does these stay around? |
Not sure what "duplicate, after cropping" means. I just see an updated preview in ACR and Bridge. You might describe the process you are following in more detail and say what you see vs what you expect.
- It is crashing a lot, and then says (are you sure you want to open 57 files?). Did it three times. So then from Bridge I had to redo my open in ACR again. But because everything is faster it's quick to deal with. |
For problems with crashing, it's usually the graphics card or driver having issues. First try updating to the latest driver for your video card. If that doesn't help, try disabling the GPU. You can do this by going into Preferences in camera raw and unchecking the Use Graphics Processor item. If you have a 3K to 5K monitor you might need the GPU to speed things up sufficiently, so try this experimentally and just turn it back on if you can live with the crashing. If these screenshot previews are too small, click on each in the message and it'll show full resolution. My monitor is only 1680x1050 so if yours is higher resolution you might have to resize or zoom in on the image in whatever browser or image-viewer you are using to see them.
- I'm puzzled with straighten tool. It says double click. I do that but nothings straightens. |
Double-clicking the Straighten Tool (bubble level icon) does work, but only on images where it can detect a horizon and some images don't have anything it recognizes as a horizon. Here I've double-clicked the "level" tool on an image of a star destroyer and it found something to align on, just not something that makes sense, but it demonstrates the tool can do something:
- Bridge is also finally fast. I posted about that, no response. Bridge has always been slow. |
Bridge uses ACR to do it's previews and can use the GPU so may be faster on that account. Depending on what version of PS you had previously, it might not have used the GPU.
