AI order of operations in Camera RAW

[@sjkahn]

Greg, thanks for explaining a host of frustrations I was experiencing, but NOT understanding--now I do! And, importantly, know how to minimize them...

[@rgarlinyc]

Wonderful insights Greg - you never cease to produce the goods. thanks a ton!

[@J5388T]

A verynhelpful summary, thanks Greg!

[@adriangidney7134]

Really useful video Greg.

[@jackpinoh]

Very helpful. Clearly explained. Thanks!

[@MrRicardoax01]

Thanks... 💯

[@photonsonpixels]

Great advice, Greg. Thank you.

[@jacquesdemers1998]

Great information, thank you

Adobe like Apple are doing weird updates presently. Lightroom and ACR are no longer aligned for Adobe and IPHONE 15 is not able of Apple Intelligence. Weird times. Thank you for this post, it clarifies a lot and avoid a lot of frustration for the users.

I would think about moving the Denoise panel to the top...

[@shamanbeartwo3819]

I'm so new to Adobe (five weeks) that when I have seen that message, I thought it meant Adobe wanted to update the software again. It seems like every time I turn around, Adobe Cloud wants to update so, I just ignored it altogether:)

[@gregbenzphotography]

I can see how that would be confusing!

[@grainculture]

Hi Greg! Do you still recommend DXO's PureRAW as one the best noise reduction tools, or I can get by with ACR/LR noise reduction, as you did in this video?

[@gregbenzphotography]

For very dark foregrounds such as ISO 6400 night sky, I think DXO wins. But on the whole, LR / ACR tends to otherwise be very good and generally all you need.

[@Relentlessiam]

I see your using ACR 17.0 there is now 17.01 do you know if it has any benefits ? Many thanks & nice drone shot ( hassleblad ) 😅

[@gregbenzphotography]

Any double dot release is just bug fixes

[@marcburdenphotography]

Really struggling with this. Not using apple, using pc, not sure that matters. I've created a smart layer, but i cant double press to open camera raw, I have to open it from the filter drop down in PS. None of these new features are there, even though I have ticked use the AI features. Any idea what Im doing wrong? also in camera raw I have no option to change colour profile, it only shows colour or monochrome in the dropdown list. ** UPDATE Think I've found a work around, I have to open the photo in LR first, open as a smart object in PS, then it all works. It will not work if you just open the file in PS or if you open in PS via LR without selecting open as a smart object in PS.

[@gregbenzphotography]

Not specific to anything but the version of PS / ACR. That’s not a raw smart object if you can’t double click into it. See gregbenzphotography.com/photography-tips/3-common-misconceptions-about-camera-raw-smart-objects/

[@jensvielmann7662]

Thank you for the video! But honestly, I’m getting annoyed with Adobe. Why the hell can’t they put those features in Lightroom beta or something? Makes life room, kind of useless if you actually wanna use new features. Not only the extra step of pushing every image to Photoshop, but also the fact that photo shops to look and save back DNG files. And even if it could, you definitely have to files then and double the space. Sorry I know I’m not the right place… but it really annoys me.

[@gregbenzphotography]

Implementing all that work twice when you expect to make changes is not efficient. It creates lots of rework, duplicate bug reports for the same problem, etc. I can appreciate how it may seem frustrating from the outside, but as a developer, I’d probably make the same choice if I were in their shoes.

[@amiri7392]

@@gregbenzphotography Are ACR and Lightroom Develop not just the same thing but with a different UI?

[@jensvielmann7662]

@ as a developer, I would think that all the functions are in separate classes or modules that I could call from ACR as well as from Lightroom ;) Maybe some Ui elements need to be added. But they need to do that anyways at some point. But the functions them selves would be stupid to implement them twice and not use the same

[@gregbenzphotography]

@jensvielmann7662 there is surely plenty of reusable code, but adding it to multiple pieces of software with the expectation of subsequent rework isn’t trivial either. LR includes Classic and Desktop on two operating systems, iOS, iPadOS, Android, and web. Getting it right in one place and then implementing elsewhere is much more efficient. I’m sure they’d love to give everyone everything they want if it was easy.

Always useful video's but for non native english people you are really talking too fast :)

[@newramesh]

i am a non native as well, he's speaking with full clarity and slow...probably you should turn on the sub-titles for easier understandnig..

[@rdbimages]

For me ( even as a native English speaker) Greg is talking too fast, especially since he is teaching people. Don't forget that you can slow down the speech in KZbin by clicking on the gear icon and adjusting Playback speed. I set it to .75 in this case.
