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

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

Yeah, sadly, there are no shortcuts to apply snapshots...the flyout menu or opening the Snapshots panel are the only way I know if.

But, don't forget ACR has unlimited Undo (unlimited for that particular session) so, if you select multiple snapshots, you can toggle between them using Command/option/Z to move back in time and Command/Shift Z to move forward. To the extent that there's no real "History UI" you can use multiple undo to do history like functions.

So, if you have multiple snapshots, select each one to set the histort state and then use undo/redo to move back and forth between the different snapshot states.

Not the same as having LR's History because you can see the history state in LR but not in ACR.

I think it WOULD be interesting to consider some sort of UI for per session history in ACR. But, I know that it would be very difficult to store history in the xmp metadata, so ACR prolly would not ever have the same history that LR has since the LR history is stored in the catalog database, not xmp (like snapshots are).

I suppose that a 'recall last snapshot' keyboard shortcut would be useful here.

I think something that would be relatively easy/useful to implement in ACR would be 'bookmark' and 'restore bookmark' actions/shortcuts. The bookmark action (for want of a better name) would create a temporary snapshot for the duration of the session, which could be recalled later with a similar keyboard shortcut.
