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'd use Snapshots a lot more if I found an easier/quicker way to do it.

    From within any panel, click Command/Shift S (Control/Shift S on Windows) which brings up a dlog to name the snapshot. You don't need to even go to the snapshot panels to save or use snapshots...all saved snapshots are available from the main ACR Flyout window under Apply Snapshot. That makes saving and use snapshots pretty easy...and they are persistant in the raw file's xmp metadata.

    Thanks, Jeff. That's a new one for me. It helps speed things up a bit.

    It would be even better if there was a shortcut(s) for reapplying Snapshots (possibly as bank of several presets) with shortcut keys.

    I'll have to review the ACR keyboard shortcut list. Obviously there are some I haven't yet learned.
