Enhance feature is gone from Camera Raw 12 with Kodak DCR files

[aureb71076363]

Hi,

not sure if this is a correct place to report or if Adobe cares about old Kodak cameras like ProBack or SLR/n/c, still I hope knowledgable people will share their thoughts.

Why Enhance feature for DCR files was available in  CRaw v11.4 but gone in v12 ? It helped to reduce moire and other artifacts SLR is infamous for.

Is this RAW format so special that required additional efforts the company decided to spend otherwise ?

Thanks,

Aure

I use Nikon NEF files. If I right-click on the image in the work area Enhance Details is one of the options. Are you saying that the option is not available for your Kodak model?

[aureb71076363]

The option is there but when selected it says photo is not supported. It worked in previous versions of LR / ACR.

I tried to attach a sample file to the original message, however, even this forum says "The file type (.DCR) is not supported." so I am including a dropbox link: GW7H7874.DCR in case you or someone else want to check it.

I can confirm that it doesn't work on this end either. Did you examine the link provided in the warning dialog?

If you convert this to DNG, it will then work; just checked.

Yes, I saw that link but DCR is an ordinary Bayer type RAW and none of those unsupported file formats.

I 'd prefer to keep the originals and avoid DNG conversions, but it looks like after ACR 11.4 this is not possible if I want to use Enhance details ....

Thanks.
