just switched from CC2018 to CC2021, but...

[FocusUno]

...running into Camera Raw 13.4 mechanics issues:
 

a. no button-arrow for advancing to next image?

(clicking cursor on next thumbnail seem only way)

 

b. histogram never indicates highlight clipping, even if forced;

rarely indicates shadow clipping, even if forced;

(yes, both boxes are checked)

 

c. don't see button to start converting DNGs to 16bitTIFs

 

TIA

I use Lightroom but I had a look at ACR to see what you are talking about as it has changed to be more Lightroom-like. 

 

a. Use the arrow keys on the keyboard - I can't see a button arrow either but keyboard is probably quicker anyway than clicking a button.

b. Works for me.

c. There is a button with a down arrow at the top right as well as on individual thumbnails. This opens a big dialog box that allows you to save with various options and save as a preset as well. If you save it as a preset, you can right click to save with that preset.

Thanks for response.

a. once arrow key is used in "Basic" boxes, arrows don't react with

thumbnails unless thumbnail is clicked -- its a PITA to go back & forth;

also the Basic starting box for next image always resets to top unlike CC2018 where

it stayed in same box as previous image...

b. I see clipping for shadows but not for highlights no matter how much overexposure

c. thanks -- how I missed that, I don't know

 

hope there is solution for a & b

You know the Germans have a word for this: Verschlimmbesserung - (more or less: disimprovement😞 An improvement that makes things worse.  😂

I still hate our current Image Manager! And the new homepage!

I don't know as I don't have an older version to compare with but it seems to me that I am having to go a long way to the right with the exposure (or white) slider to see highlight clipping at all so maybe they have made it less sensitive. The shadow clipping seems normal though.

German word

buyzenadobeinreizenshtockenpayzenneinneinneinnzemonthafeezinneinschrooglenconzuma

roughly translates to

"buy ADBE rising stock to cover $9.99 monthly fee no screwing consumer"
