In particular batch processing is awkward and slow compared to either Capture One, RAWshooter or Bibble. ACR floats on top of the main Photoshop screen which is grayed out while ACR is in use. The tabs on the right are well arranged and offer lots of extra functions for noise reduction, correction for vignetting, lens aberrations and colour. By default all the sliders on the main screen are set to auto which I find less than useful - It just never seems to get it right. So I turn them off, but keeping them switched off isn’t as easy as it should be. Next time you load an image they’ll all be back to auto. The trick is to load a raw image then clear all the auto boxes, set the sliders to their mid points then click on the small arrow to the right of top drop down image settings menu, then select save new camera RAW defaults. Once you’ve done that you see the pictures you actually took, not the auto level version. Incidentally this camera raw default setting also determines how the previews are displayed in Adobe Bridge. So if you find, as I do, that your images look nothing like the consistent carefully exposed frames you thought you took, that’s probably why.
