Hello, I am incredibly upset about the removal of the preview button in Camera Raw. It has completely interrupted my workflow. I don't mind the ADDITION of new features for those who make take advantage of them, but the REMOVAL of perfectly good features that many of us are used to using is asinine and if you can't tell I am rather upset about it. Please for the sake of god bring it back.

    Preview?!?!?!?   I can no longer see before and after preview of just my sharpness/noise reduction settings.

    I agree with stlouiscrash09. . . . "I am incredibly upset about the removal of the preview button in Camera Raw. It has completely interrupted my workflow.

    Arbitrary software change like this are tough on those of us who work under deadlines.

    Can you describe the workflow you use(d) in which you employed the Preview button?

    Perhaps there's another way to "get there from here" with the new version.

    I apologize for being so upset, but it is very frustrating to attempt to do

    something and find it's been changed. I've noticed that there is no way at

    all to see what the original photo looked like without resetting all your

    adjustments. The new "before and after" buttons only go back to your most

    recent settings. Not what the original photo was. I don't care what my last

    edit looked like, I want to know what my original looked like and what my

    current edit looks like. Again I apologize for being so upset, and I

    appreciate your time.

    Very Respectfully,

    Jules

    I too took Julianne Kost's statement to mean that the "P" key could still be used to provide a  within panel Preview that the old check box and the "P" key provided in prior Camera Raw versions.   Well it does not!  Since she is an official Adobe representative I will try to contact her for an explanation of why her statement seems to be incorrect.

    I use the within panel preview a great deal like many other Adobe Camera Raw users.  If I have to use a more cumbersome process than I find necessary, it is not progress to me.  What Adbobe should have done is left the within panel Preview capability in place and added the new Preview features to it, which all would have seen as an improvement.  In my world Product Managers and Marketing Management set product specifications not engineers.

    Well, on ACR, it's Thomas Knoll that sets product specs...and he has an excellent track record to date, don't ya think?
