MAJOR update: Adobe Camera Raw 17

Thanks. The review yet.

Best review for new things in ACR

I don't understand why, despite the engine being the same, these new things in Camera Raw are not present in the recently released Lightroom?

I have succeeded in getting the adobe adaptive profile to work. But ACR does not retain the profile setting after the program has been closed and reopened. Does this happen to you? I wonder why it was set up this way?

Also it doesn't seem to work in monochrome mode, only with color images. Mike

Guess Denoise in RAW didn't make it into LrC.

How is the mobile app (that is not having AI denoise) handling the non-desctrutive denoise?

After performing denoise in ACR, there seems to be a rather large side car file created with the extension .acr.

Thanks Blake! Appreciate the review. Do you think this Adaptive Beta profile could be used in place of a linear profile that flattens out the curve? I like taking flat images into PS and building up the balance and contrast via specific tonal values for light and color. Thanks again!

Really good information. Have you tried doing the AI remove object before doing the AI Denoise? I am wondering if that would solve the inconsistency between the overall denoise and the AI generated fill that has the original noise level in it. I haven't upgraded the software yet, so I can't test it myself. Cheers!

Great new features and video. As a Lr user I wanted to try the new Denoise feature. Unfortunately it's not still in Lr. So I've tried to see what happen if I open the image in ACR, use the Denoise feature, close the file and reopen it in Lr. And sadly it doesn't work... Obviously Lr can't read the .acr side car file yet.

I need to know how to modify select subject. I liked the old way, which opened a new window where you could add or subtract areas, and expand or contract pixels. What the heck?

Nice review.

Why adaptive profile is not available in Lightroom?

do you have a masterclass where i can learn?

FAKEGRAPHY

Is it just me, but in the Adaptive example I find some of the green foliage a bit too artificial?
I did try on one of my own images and got similar results

Dont get that embedded denoise at all, What file types do that work on ?

Adaptive profile doesn't show up in my latest upgrade.

Thanks for this video Blake.
As the latest version of denoise is only available in ACR, Can a raw file in lightroom be sent as a smart object and be edited in the latest version of Adobe Camera Raw and go back to Lightroom without an additional file being created ?
Thanks

Your ACR is different than mine. No Adaptive Profile in mine. Not in PS or PS Beta.

I understand your frustration with the noise not being matched by Generative AI, Blake. Is it possible/worth trying to add noise via a localized mask? And, BTW, I love the rooster picture! Thanks.

Blake. This was excellent and very helpful. Could you comment on the other settings such as: Adobe Landscape, Adobe Portrait, Adobe Standard 2, Adobe Vivid, and the Browse feature? Is the Browse just LUT settings? And the other options; how should one use those? Similar to the workflow you demonstrated?

Oh how I remember this little you years ago!!

Save the women and children from being HDR'd...made me laugh out loud which woke up my dog...lolol! Great information, Blake! Thank you! :D

Even for content aware fill I wish it would look at the close neighboring pixels for the detail instead of the more blurry areas. You would think that would be a simple thing to have it do but I guess not. Thanks for doing these videos.

Beta forever…

Clearly "Adaptive Profile" was your favorite feature to have 4 segments of your video dedicated to it.

I wanted to say in my testing it looks nice on portraits, it seems to be separating color tones, and I didn't experience overexposing, I had an extremely warm image of a young lady in a blue cinderella dress, and it really made a nice starting point.

This is my 24th year using PS and still learning, this tutorial has been very helpful, thankyou for your continues enthusiasm for this program, watching from the UK.

I know you’re not Team Adobe and the release of this thing is still very recent, but, based on your experience with Adobe products, do you think they will introduce the Adaptive Profile thing to LR any time soon?

Superb analysis !

@f64 can u tell me what cursor magnifying glass app you are using?

Thank you for the video! I tried resetting Photoshop for the camera raw denoise, It did not update

I have seen some tests on Dpreview forum. It looks like Adobe has catched up with DxO , when it comes to noise reduction. Earlier I had to do NR in DxO > DNG > import it to Adobe.

I hope it will come to Lightroom, which I prefer in my workflow.

ive had some success with portraits but most of the time it does what you mention hdr/grunge effect which is horrible for girls

Is the Denoised file available to use in LRC

What i hate is that I can't open all layers at once in camera raw 😒
