In general, i like the new camera raw better than the old one, if there weren't some major flaws which are very disturbing in my workflow...

1. zoom is not always "fit to screen" -when i crop it changes zooms out - but it doesn't jump back to "fit to screen". annoying.




2. the crop tool was way better in the old version - give people the choice to switch to the old version.




3. changing the aspect ratio of a picture while cropping - should be easier to reach via right click ..




4. the saving button in the thumbnails - is it possible to hide it .. when i choose the next picture i often click on it by accident. It is enough in the top right corner ...




5. the correction brush - it doesn't save settings from previous pictures /edits .. When i have to correct a row of similar pictures this is very annoying as well .. maybe there should be a check box with "save settings for further pictures"

Please return the old crop tool behavior or let the user decide in settings how we want it.
Before the crop was set to default when switching to next photo (no aspect ratio) now, when I crop with any aspect ratio in one photo and go to next photo the "remain aspect ratio" stays turned on (with full photo aspect ratio) and need to be manually switched off or set to different ratio if wanted.
Personally I also don't like the current moving photo instead of the crop area with mouse and the behavior like the crop always stays in the middle of the screen - therefore when moving the crop from side both is moving - the photo and the crop.

Versions of Camera Raw prior to 12.4 (or whatever it was before the latest major user interface change) would have "fit in view" the default zoom. The current method wastes time and keystrokes. Here is the problem:

1) Set image zoom to "fit in view"
2) Select the crop too (c)
3) Crop image
4) Select edit tool (e)

Note that zoom does not refer to "fit in view." Now I have to change the view to "fit in view" which is command + 0. This is an extra keystroke that is annoying and unnecessary. Previous versions of Camera Raw would never to "fit in view" when a different tool was selected.

Furthermore, it's easy to accidentally press command +o, which opens potentially hundreds of images in Photoshop. This is far from ideal.

Please fix this.

it seems with so many cameras shooting the jpg and raw together the following is going to happen again and again: when going through and marking a rating on the jpg files i felt afterwards that some feature that copied the ratings to the raw files with the same file name and ### would be productivity oriented innovation..

if i want to quickly select all files with a certain rating to another folder and include their raw companion files, auto pairing of jpgs and raw as a kind of stack that photoshop could dynamically access and later redo all of the image work onto the raw file as a action script ... where you started with a better raw source....

First off, thank you Adobe for not giving up on Bridge - Bridge is the only viable program for Adobe cross program users (PS, ID, AI, AA, are the main programs I use and I need to see thumbnails for all work cross programs) - so thank you for keeping Bridge fresh and thank you for allowing these requests from your users, especially long-time professional users working with LARGE (18GB+) PSB files. PERFORMANCE is crucial as camera files get bigger and larger mp sensors (100mp+)

Here are some suggestions I would like to see implemented into bridge:

1). Making duplicate or Instances from ACR would be great - I often make duplicates of a raw file in bridge and then make different adjustments for each (such as, color or b&w, or more complex changes in ACR, while still keeping each duplicate's full raw editing in tact as opposed to making a Tiff instance...)

2). ALSO CRUCIAL - Been asking for every single Bridge update since this feature was abandoned: PLEASE PLEASE - PUT BACK THE WEB GALLERY under the output tab - it is a much preferred method for review than a PDF proof sheet. PLEASE RETURN the WEB GALLERY (it is in lightroom - Adobe, you have the means - I only keep lightroom loaded so I can use its web gallery - how cumbersome) - PLEASE BRING BACK what once was a great and used feature in BRIDGE.

3). How about more color options for labeling files - inc. ability to custom make colors for different considerations - and being able to make multiple color labels applicable (Like apple does in its file labeling in finder (I have complex coding system for my work for product outputs - this would be nice - but not as crucial as the WEB GALLERY) - and I would like use red to mean delete or reject if I had more colors available - 5 pre-named colors is limited to how many creative people work within their own custom workflows.

4). Going back to C1-Pro - its output module contains multiple conversions, including adding more output options - and it is very fast in processing multiple outputs per large groups of selected raw files - all customizable (a bit like the old Dr. Brown plugin where a singe raw image could be out put into multiple formats, color spaces, bits, ppi, dimensions --- etc.) what a time saver that would be given all the different SM platforms, and website criteria - to program in the outputs for the different destinations and use of the one single image for immediate deployment to respective platforms. (as a side note: I think DR Brown plugin offered three different simultaneous outputs - but I don't remember given that plugin isn't available anymore for the most recent Bridge updates - on another note - C1-Pro allows adding custom outputs beyond 3... I have not seen a limit yet when I use C1-Pro to how many outputs it will create for a file or group of files - all can be selected or deselected - a very handy feature).

Thank you for implementing these for the next release (I am being positive here).
