After updating Bridge to 13.0.2 and Camera Raw to 15.1.1, I experienced a number of problems when using same apps. One particularly annoying problem occurs when cropping images in Camera Raw.
For the making of a photo book I use images cropped to two different presets: 62x43 for landscapes and 30x43 for portraits. In the past I've never had any problems with cropping, but currently I'm having difficulties to perform the required cropping actions.
Having cropped a set of images with a preset of 62x43 and changing to a preset of 30x43, the custom ratio of 30x43 is consistently reset to 62x43 and images are cropped accordingly. Changing the preset ratio to 30x43 requires clearing all Camera Raw presets (via Edit / Ctrl + Camera Raw Prefs) and start anew. Returning to 62x43 requires the same procedure.
To further complicate matters, this behavior occurs only for the above presets. Having set a ratio of 62x43, I’m unable to generate a preset of 30x43, vice versa. With a current preset of 62x34 I can generate additional presets of 44x30 and 43x29, but not 43x30. Similarly, with a current preset of 43x30, new presets of 61x43 and 62x44 can be made, but not 62x43. The result is a pretty annoying workflow.
As a consequence – and due to several other bugs in the latest updates – in the past weeks I’ve been spending more time with problem solving and working around bugs than with my photo book.
Pending new updates for Bridge and Camera Raw I would welcome any suggestions that could solve this particular problem. I’m using an HP Z400 working station (Intel Xeon CPU E5-1650 v4 @ 3.60GHz, 32 GB; NVIDIA Quadro P620) with the latest drivers, under Windows 10 Pro with the latest updates.
Anybody familiar with the above issues?
