Guest WPalank Posted March 12, 2012 Share #1 Posted March 12, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Anyone as unimpressed as I am? Every Blog of the CS and LR Gods blather on how much better it is. What I am finding is that it is pulling the Blacks down in the Shadows and blocking them up. The old Clarity needed to be used judiciously (no problem), but seemed to effect the mid-tones only. Me liked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Hi Guest WPalank, Take a look here The "New" Clarity (LR4 and ACR 6.7). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

tobey bilek Posted March 12, 2012 Share #3 Posted March 12, 2012 Will be fixed in CS6, at extra cost. See you will get something for the upgrade. Clarity is now screwed up. I read recovery slider is gone to "automatic". I will get to have raw for a few more cameras I do not own and never will. I can not go back to 6.6? So tell me why I should upgrade? In fact, why should I continue shipping Adobe money? If I had not purchased a M8,, I could use use NX2 which has done some raw Nikon conversions for me I could not duplicate in ACR no matter how hard I tried. They do not pester me for upgrade $ every time I turn around either. Capture 1 another look? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WPalank Posted March 12, 2012 Share #4 Posted March 12, 2012 Could it (Clarity) effect different cameras differently. Lots of people are really loving it. I haven't seen one image of the close to two thousand I am now editing were it has added an improvement and I'm talking running the slider up less than 20. I used to use it on almost every image I processed. Tobey, I wouldn't trash the product just yet. I think it might be doing things in the background that really are advanced. For example, I was shooting wide open in some of the harshest sunlight on the planet. When I first click on an image and the engine is churning (still blurry), I think I see purple fringing and CA all over the place. Then the image renders and it's not there, no CA or fringing. I'm only seeing it in many minute instances in a certain hairstyle some of the Afar and Oromo girls wear their hair in. Easy fix in PS. I haven't seen the slightest bit in tree branches shot against a contrasty sky. Not one instance, so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
