Updated Camera Raw has killed my workflow
The latest few updates have absolutely throttled Camera Raw. Here are just a few gripes I have with it that have destroyed my workflow.
In the most recent update there is an annoying "analyzing" message that pops up. It's only up for a brief moment, but when it's up you can't click on anything (such as trying to go to the next photo you want to edit.)
Speaking of going to the next photo, I keep accidently clicking the little pop up download button on the thumbnails so I then have to exit out of the Save Options box. Why can't we have the old button back?
The worst offense by far is the crop tool. There is a full second delay whenever I use it which results in jittery operation. The amount of time I spend cropping has probably tripled since the older versions.
And then there's the ridiculous number of bugs in the program. Like when I go to the next photo and it's randomly zoomed in or pushed to one side of the other, or when I'm using spot removal and I have to go back to Edit in order to move around the screen if it's zoomed in, or the fact that "Z" no longer works, to name a few.
These all may seem like minor gripes that take up tiny amounts of time, but when you're editing on deadline or have 2,000 photos to work on, it becomes a real pain. Unforunately I can't go back because I bought an R6 and the older version doesn't support its files. I've been using Bridge since about 2012 and in the past year my workflow time has almost doubled.
