thanks for sharing the video it was so helpful

Thank you so much. The Denoise is fantastic

[joanneabramson]

Cropping with Generative Expand is best done in Photoshop, where you can increase the resolution of the added pixels, especially on the pano with that significant addition.

Some great content again, thank you 👍

Excellent and timely video, thx! As a photographer using LRC for editing DNG files, what is the benefit of using ACR inside of Photoshop?

[CoyotePark]

Licensed newest version of Photoshop, Newest update of Camera Raw (17). and I have enabled the AI features and restarted Photoshop. There is no "Denoise" button, there is no Adaptive Profile. also, please find me the "Lens Corrections" tab where I could fix vignette and lens distortion in a simple click. Thanks.

favorite new feature: noise reduction; amazing!!

[jckvision]

feels really cool! thx for sharing! but I also feel that we are accelerating to be away from real photography.

Colin, when I crop and image in Camera Raw 17 and then close ACR, the cropped image in PS 2025 has a transparent border around it which is very distracting. Any advice appreciated . This video has been very helpful as are all your PS videos. You are a "go to" resource for me. Thank You Kindly.

Hi Colin please check this out : I just opened a raw file directly in PS and activated the new noise reduction in CR using the gear wheel as you suggested. Processed the shot and it did a good job. This file was previously in my LR catalogue. I opened it in LR and as far as I can see the NR is not applied in the LR view of the file. In fact LR is offering to do it again in its own NR facility. Now since the actual file is altered and not what it's displaying in LR then who knows what the result would be. Also opening a file from LR into PS ( not directly in PS) and into the camera raw filter, the new NR in CR does not display even if activated ( checked using the cog wheel - it's on but not available). So essentially LR users will have to be super careful here because there is no forward or backwards compatibility. I guess you could open in PS and "save as" after processing then re-import from the LR Library module. This needs fixing if I'm correct.

Updated to same camera raw version and ps version as you.
Clicked AI features and setting panel
Shut down ps, and even restarted the computer
Opened ps, opened camera raw (ctrl shft A)
Although the box for new ai is still checked, none of the features are showing.
**** UPDATE - spoke to Adobe Support. The answer is the New AI feature in Camera Raw only works when the original source file is a ".RAW" file. The New AI features are hidden if you are just trying to edit a .jpeg file within Camera Raw.

Thanks a lot Dear Colin, I am using Bridge, and then from there to CR and to PS, I am nowdays working on a book and I need CMYK profiles, so, to what I learnt this is the way to work with photos that will then go to printing? Please help me out if I am confused? Thank you very much and best wishes from Uruguay!

Another great video Colin! Some useful tips as always! One thing has been bugging me for a good few months since one update; when opening photos and that box pops up (that never used to) about color managing and using 'the embedded profile' or 'don't color manage'.
What is the best thing to choose would you say? (And I will trust your advice implicitly)

[timothymoore]

So is a raw image stored in the downloads in PSD form not considered a raw file? I do not have any problem opening up a raw file imported from L.R. Then I may make some changes, save in the downloads in PSD format but it does not open in camera raw again using the File-Open selection.

[FotomakerAcademy]

Can we update just ACR w/out updating to Ps 2025 (production vers.) too? I like to leave a few wks, post MAX, for Adobe to fix annual update bugs... thx.

Sir i am using Apple macbook air m1 and the subject selection features is not working properly on my macbook
Help me please

[jackprice]

I have not been able to get the denoise to work with any of my raw DNG files. If I open a DNG the denoise parameters have triangles and state the file is incompatible.

[MONTY-YTNOM]

The denoise only works on limited files through which is annoying Won't work on my Olympus files.

So I tried updating to Photoshop 25 but it says my computer's CPU is no longer compatible. My computer is a decade old as of this year, so guess that means it's time to buy a new one. 😖
