P:(Masking)Adjustment brush should be separate from Mask Menu in ACR 14

[Mammal]

Having the adjustment brush within the mask menu adds additional clicks and it's frustrating that I have to reselect the brush tool when I go to the next picture.  This slows workflow.  There should be the option to separate specific mask options to a solo click on the panel.

 "K" selects the adjustment brush with one key press.

I know.

There are similar single key shortcuts to the other tools so I am not sure what you are suggesting by way of "solo click" which is any different.

[Mammal]

It's completely different.  I'm talking about a mouse click not a keyboard shortcut.  Having to look down to find the "k" key for each picture slows workflow.  If the adjustment brush stayed selected for each picture in a row that would be helpful as well.  Feel free to use the "k" key if that works best for you.

It seems like you mean turning back the clock to the way things were before this latest incarnation of ACR. That is very unlikely to happen. If that is what you would like your only option is is downgrade and reinstall older versions of Bridge, ACR and Photoshop.

I know what my options are.  The whole point of making feature requests is to move forward with the best program for everyone, not backwards.

Yes this!!!!  My entire workflow slowed down tremendously due to this change.  I had to actualy revert back to the old camera raw  :(.
