I've been using the Variations tool for as long as I can remember. I know it only worked with 32-bit but I used it all the the time for color corrections and would like a new version for 64-bit. Sometimes it's just the only thing that will tweak that color just right.
Dear friend, There is CS6 64bit providing Variation plug-in and I also like that but now The new CC series is not providing Variation plug-in so, I also disappoint with this..
I too greatly miss the variations tool. I'm more visual than technical, I loved the ability to see the changes offered from so many separate options. If I really want to tweek something I'll use curves, but I REALLY miss the ease of use of Variations!
Also, miss Variations but am or have been a sucker or suckered into an upgrade - so thought I would join the petition 😉 - Always good (I Imagine to keep an old machine offline for CS3 -CS4 for variations & many other favourite tools that sure we all loved) Keep the Faith, Respect to All x
REQUEST: Put "Variations" back into Photoshop CC. I need to add more red, or green, or blue into a raster image with with ONE CLICK, and not have to go to Curves or Levels. I am not a retoucher, I just need that simple Variations feature back again. It's insane that it was taken out in the first place. Thank you.
Why did adobe ever drop the "Variations" option... :-(
I know it's been gone a long time now but I still miss it... I thought for sure by now it would be reincorporated new and improved as an adjustment layer...
I've used "variations" for as long as I've been using Photoshop, and I recently upgraded to CC 2020, and am very disappointed to discover that "variations" has been discontinued. Please bring it back. I used it in almost all of the work that I've done. It was such a great feature. Thank you.
Variations was such a fantastic tool and i can see so many more uses for it beyond the original implementation. Such a shame that this tool was abandoned.
Here we are, 10 years on, Adobe has not created a 64-bit version of this tool and no enterprising third-party developer has seized the "opportunity" either... To me, this speaks volumes.
Indeed, the reality is brutal, but I do still think that an interface showing alternate renders has its merits, as we can see in Firefly, for instance. It would be a tool that would help creating, showing other settings for most filters/plugins/adjustments...
It sounds like the focus of taking this tool away was that it was not precise for realistic photographic adjustments.
Some of us use photoshop for image adjustments that for various reasons are not precisely realistic (for example, I'm adjusting bitmap colors to look eventually correct in rendering software that alters the color- this requires me to create an image that looks wrong in photoshop but eventually looks right in the rendering software. And, yes, I understand that color matching software exists, but it's not something my company is willing to pay for so the next best option is adjusting colors so they look correct eventually in the end once another software package makes color adjustments that I do not have easy control over.)
