Photoshop CS5 to CS6: is ACR improved?

[JohnMWright]

<p>I have trouble finding the details on Adobe's site. </p>

<p>Are there any major improvements to ACR in CS6 over CS5?</p>

<p>Is there a list of improvements anywhere? I'm only concerned with ACR, not the rest of Photoshop.</p>

<p>Thanks for any info!</p>

<p>I found a non-Adobe site... http://www.photoshopcafe.com/cs6/CameraRaw-7.html</p>

<p>So it sounds like yes, it is considerably improved.</p>

<p>Process Version 2012 is a significant improvement in the raw processing engine of ACR 7 (in CS6/LR4)</p>

<p>I had CS5 and then upgraded to CS6 when it came out. I felt there were significant improvements in ACR. I especially liked the new highlights and shadows sliders in the first tab (Basic).</p>

<p>Thank you Andrew and Phil.</p>

<p>Wether there is an improvement to ACR I will say this upgrade has been horrible - months later and still crashing almost routinely. The clarity slider may be improved but honestly I feel I liked the look I was getting before 6, yes the dreaded ghosting is gone but a little too much an you have that horrible hdr look.<br>

With Adobe's pricing it might not matter to skip an upgrade - but man am I sick of this program crashing something is not right with it's photomerge. </p>
