Last week Adobe updated Adobe Camera Raw. If you updated like I did thinking it would be routine… boy, were we wrong! It was a shell shock at first, but I quickly adapted to the new layout and have grown to accept the innovation Adobe has put into it.
With the release of ACR 12.3, I was forced to update my new 30 Days to Ps Mastery course, and I wanted to do it as timely as possible. So I buckled down last Thursday and recorded all the videos in my office. It took about 17 straight hours of work, but it was well worth the effort in the end.
I updated the new course for anyone who purchased the 30 Days to Ps Mastery or who was streaming it on f.64 Elite. The fourth video in the series is all about ACR. So, instead of the brief rundown, I did in the first go-around, I decided to create an extended one hour video detailing EVERYTHING in ACR that is necessary for you to know.
I removed that lesson from the course and broke it up into a four-part series that you can watch right now! Just click on the thumbnails below to navigate from video to video. If you like this four-part series, just know there are 29 more videos just like this in the full 30 Days to PS Mastery Course!
30 Days to Photoshop Mastery
This course will help you establish a path for Photoshop Mastery in just 30 days! It’s not magic tricks or gee-whiz information in Photoshop, its practical application meets real-world examples.
Its a sequential build-up of the right information at the right time.
For Blake, it's all about the art and process synergy. He dives deep into complex topics and makes them easy to understand through his outside-the-box thinking so that you can use these tricks in your workflow today!
I purchased the CLIR course on infrared, how to I add the camera profiles on the new ACR
They should already be in ACR in your profiles. Mine were there and were not lost in the installation. If they were just go to the course folder and reinstall them or recreate your DNG profile using the instructions.
My RB Swap profiles were no longer listed in ACR but the IR Camera profile was. However, the profiles were in the location CameraRaw\Settings folder. I moved those files to another location and stored them in a zip file.
Went into ACR and imported the profiles from the zip file. That took care of it. Now the profiles are in the CameraRaw\ImportedSettings. Hopefully, with the profiles there I will not lose them again. I’m keeping that zip file with my CLiR tutorials in case I need the again.
Thanks for the help.
Can one make the “fit in view” sticky or default? Old ACR use to hold the fit in view even if you cropped. Now it doesn’t.
I’m not sure, I never really paid too much attention to that.
Extremely generous of you to spend the time and make the effort to help us Blake. Thanks very much.

I’m so glad I got the 30 days to master Photoshop videos. I’ve watched the whole thing twice and I am a lot more comfortable with it now. What I’m most impressed with is that after they updated Camera Raw you went back in and redid several videos. I really feel like you went above and beyond by doing that. It shows that you do care about us learning. Just want to let people know and tell you thank you! Really appreciate all your hard work for us.
Enjoyed the four parts. Thanks.
Hi Blake, This serious of tutorials is great help. Have picked up a lot of tips/techniques that wouldn’t have been intuitive and I might have missed! But…. I may have done something wrong or there may be a bug. I thought you said we could click and hold then release on the Eye icon next to the global adjustment categories to see before/after. When I do that, my image looks grey and murky and when the Eye icon is released it remains that way. I also tried a quick click off/on to see if maybe I was being too heavy handed. Same result…. I’m on a Win 10 Pro PC using ACR. I’m a Ps, not Lr user.

Typically, great value from f64! Thank you, Blake.
Blake,
You previously showed how to create LUT profiles in ACR and then import into Lightroom. With the new ACR engine that no longer seems possible? or it’s done a different way at least that I have yet to work out. Can you please help?
It’s still done the same way.
Blake, but where did the little page tear that you Alt click on go to create a profile In the new ACR layout I cannot seem to find it anywhere
Blake,
FOUND IT, need to get used to this new layout.
Keep up the great work. More on grading please when you get the time 🙂
Hi Richard, It would be nice if yougave the way to do it:I meet the same problem.Thanks in advance to you but also and mainly to “Blake the Guru”
Great videos, Blake! Thanks!
My pleasure!
