Hi Colin, thank you for the informative video. I like the 'Content Credentials' feature. It crossed my mind whether there will be a 'batch' facility to run through the whole of my existing image library to retrospectively apply content credentials?.
@photoshopcafe Notice on the top of your image at 13:36 it says CR and the date. If I go to the Content Credentials page, all of the images in the examples show to click on the 'CR' pin for information. The article also states, "When you see the Content Credentials pin, it means Content Credentials are attached! Simply click the pin to reveal more information about the content you’re viewing."
Thanks for a very useful tutorial Colin. I edited a photo and used blur very early in the process. Then at some point LRC told me to turn blur off in order to be able to do the edit I wanted (I can't remember what it was). So, clearly, applying blur can interfere with other edits down the road. Any comments? Thank you.
Great video! I've always been confused on when and how to use Camera Raw. For instance, only when I'd shoot at the highest rez on my camera (Canon CR3 etc), would camera raw open automatically when I brought the image into photoshop. I figured because it was automatically opening, that I should then do some basic edits there to use whatever "power" Camera Raw had, and then was never sure about the options to Open it in photoshop (which I always would want to so I could further edit it with the tools I'm more familiar with. Don't know if that's overkill or not). If I remember, there are a few options on how to open it in Photoshop, but not near my computer now, so can't look. Anyway, should I now always open my regular jpg's in Camera Raw before going into Photoshop? Or are there only certain times it's worth it? Hope I was clear. Thanks.
Colin. the eraser options you demonstrated at the start of this video, do they use up Generative Credits? Specifically the 'Use Generative Ai' option. Do you get advice from Adobe about new features with each update? It's not always easy to find that information. I have asked Pete Green and Cory Shubert, but got nothing back from them. The features you demonstrated in this video are genuinely useful, and a welcome addition, so thankyou for bringing them to our attention.
Hi Colin! Thank you again for another great look into the new features. I am curious though, have you noticed any difference in the quality of the remove/Generative AI tools in Photoshop vs Camera Raw vs Lightroom? I know they're using the same technology, but just curious if you've found any significant differences. Thank you :)
@@photoshopcafe ACR is easier for me to navigate (maybe because I have used it for so long..started using PS in 1995) and I use Bridge to view my raw files so I can just click and the photo opens directly in ACR. Whereas with LR, I have to open it separately. I like the UI in ACR better than LR also. LR is confusing to me for some reason...?? Old habits are hard to break.
New in 16.3.1 ? Noticed the addition of a 'Loupe' view in the Guided Upright tool. Very helpful! In my skyline photography even the camera's built in artificial horizon is not accurate enough to get perfect verticals. Before this addition, often required image rotations in fractions of a degree.
It really helps to have you walk thru the new operations and save me that time leaning it! Fascinating to see the credentials and history information from Adobe. It's hard to believe this new meta data could not be changed by anyone wanting to hide the AI used for creation. Image and metadata are just files and can be edited and rewritten. How can it be prevented? It would be great if there were some telephone AI that could show the REAL phone number calling.
The metadata can be stripped from an image, but it won't show a CIA badge, so its not verified. If the data was uploaded to the cloud, the image can be matched with the cloud data and verified. If the data is tampered with, it will also show that. I'ts not perfect, but its a start.
It should only be used on areas smaller than 1024x 1024 at a time (at exported size) so if you are just exporting for social, it won’t matter. If you are doing very large exports for print etc, the legacy tools should be used, or the remove tool in PS

How long before Lightroom/Camera Raw replaces Photoshop completely? Personally, I don't much care for the imprecision of the Camera Raw brushes and sliders. It seems that Adobe is moving more and more toward dumbing down editing features for the people who think that all they need is a phone to do fine art photography...
People are complaining that Instagram is labeling their images as AI even when they are not, and just about all of those users have never used Content Credentials. The speculation is that Instagram uses their own software to decide whether to label an image as AI, and does not use Content Credentials to influence that decision. So the answer to that question may be more about Instagram than about Adobe or anyone else.
I find ai useful to remove my camera from bathroom mirrors in my real estate photography. No one needs to know about that. It isn't an ai image and I don't want people thinking that it is. Going way too far with disclosure.
David, I have no interest in cheating Content Credentials, but it is interesting thinking if and how they could be bypassed. If you have two images of the same mirror, and place a minimal composite of the Ai fixed area over the second image, is there going to be information in the few pixels you just added, that will trigger a Content Credential to be baked into the second image? We about what can be achieved with Steganography where an entire image can be hidden within an image, so I guess a few lines of text can be hidden multiple times to make bypassing difficult. There will be people investigating the 'issue' just for the challenge I am sure.
It will still show up as edited, although maybe not ai. To be realistic, edited is edited, no matter what tool is used. It’s not like we didn’t fake things in PS before ai?
This is AI patchwork and it doesn't even look good. Too many imperfect details. AI used to introduce different versions of your image has nothing to do with photography. For more than a year I have been a happy ex Adobe person now without Adobe's control, cloud and suction hose into my bank account. My best tool back then was ACR, and it has now become an AI zombie. Fortunately the free Darktable covers 99 percent of all necessary raw editing - without AI. The one percent left for AI is noise reduction perfectly managed by DxO PureRAW 4. For that purpose AI is perfect, and it doesn't add anything or take anything away from my images - except it sharpens small details and removes unpleasant noise extremely well. The output dng goes directly into Darktable.

Hi. Can you use this blur feature to create depth map?
Thank You Colin for another great video, Been subbed for years and you never disappoint. Thanks again.
Much appreciated
Amazing lesson! Greetings from Spain.
Thanks Colin. I'm always enjoying your informative well explained tutorials.

Collin I like your way of teaching. This lens blur, it seems to me from this video, is better than the older version?
Yes, it's gotten better
quick question : How do you set default to "Full "- even if you have 4:3 crop set in camera ?

I haven’t noticed any, but that’s a good idea for a future video to investigate that
@@photoshopcafe It would be good topic.
Amazing..... This just keeps getting more and more fantastic with the things you can do, creatively speaking. keep 'em coming Colin! 👍👍
Thank you! Will do!
Clear & to the point - as usual! Much appreciated Colin, thank you.
My pleasure!
Very informative video, easily explained. Thank you!
Thanks
Brilliant.... absolutely brilliant. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
Great and very useful upgrade to ACR. Nicely and methodically presented. Thanks. 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic as always! Always looking forward to your videos!!!!!
Thanks again!
Thanks Colin: most excellent demonstration 👍
Very welcome
well done sir, thank you !
great video thank you Colin, you are really talented tutor.
Thanks!
Thanks man. Nicely explained .
Thank you Colin, appreciate your videos a lot.
Glad you like them!
Great video!! I would rather use ACR than Lightroom.
Why do you prefer it?

Does using Camera Raw Gen AI stuff use up or limited credits Colin?
Thanks nicely explained
Enjoyed this video. Thanks.

Thank you very intresting
Hi, Is it a good way to rename all the imported pictures to lightroom classic or leave the pictures name as is.
Thank you.
Entirely up to you and what makes it easiest for you to work. Either way is perfectly fine
Thank you

Has Adobe removed the option to save different versions/edits of an image within Camera Raw?
Very intresat !
Good to know...
Thank you :)
You're welcome!
Thanks
Welcome
As we know the raw files are huge, the generated content is still low resolution as in the first versions of firefly?
It should only be used on areas smaller than 1024x 1024 at a time (at exported size) so if you are just exporting for social, it won’t matter. If you are doing very large exports for print etc, the legacy tools should be used, or the remove tool in PS
As well as doing well it also seems to create more work
How so? Remember, when I walk through all the tools, it doesn't mean you have to use them all on every image.
thank u
You're welcome!
Colin, my images don't have a CR pin?
What do you mean?

It seems that Adobe is moving more and more toward dumbing down editing features for the people who think that all they need is a phone to do fine art photography...
They never will. So many people use photoshop for so many things. I can see some Photogs needing to go into PS less often.
I find myself using RAW more than Lightroom rather than switching between the 2 while editing.
cool
I prefer ACR over LR also...less steps in the work flow and the user interface in LR is just odd to me.
Thank you. It's pretty scary what photoshop can do with AI now
If you were to post the processed image on Instagram, would Instagram call this image created with AI now?
People are complaining that Instagram is labeling their images as AI even when they are not, and just about all of those users have never used Content Credentials. The speculation is that Instagram uses their own software to decide whether to label an image as AI, and does not use Content Credentials to influence that decision.

That’s kind of what I was alluding to near the end of the video. It’s a problem right now.
Colin: I am trying to use these new features as I am watching your video. Nothing works. My computer freezes. And yes, I installed 16.3.1.
Have you rebooted? Also consider resetting your preferences.

All lies!!! New Camera Raw will disable your Photoshop and you wont be able ever to open the Camera Raw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very strange comment.
he is on drugs or he use a pirate version😂
Thank you!!
