seven21 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 When I open a raw file in develop persona and I cancel it, the image becomes darker. Is this a bug or am I supposed to always remember to click on the Develop button? Going back to the develop persona doesn't reload the image properly. I've uploaded a short video showing this here https://goo.gl/DN9Uih Also, loading image really is very slow as you can see in the video. This is using a machine with i7 6700k, 32gb ram, gtx970 gpu, and loading from ssd. I hope this is not the case in the final release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gio Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I have the same problem (although with lower specs: i7 2600k, 32gb and gtx770 and ssd) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jorismak Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 What happens is that you didn't develop your image, so you end up with the raw pixel data without any tonemapping applied, so it seems very much like an image in linear-space-viewing-in-srgb. You actually see kinda how it works behind the scenes. The raw is opened as a sort of 32bit HDR image, you apply tone mapping to get it to 'normal 16bit' or 8bit. If you cancel the Develop persona, you're stuck in the 32bit HDR space without any auto-brightness, so all the data available in the raw file displayed, pure, without any gamma correction or other stuff :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurentia Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Me too ... However, it does not happen on Mac where the cancellation of the development closes the image (1.5 RC1). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedrickbk Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Happens to me too with Canon 70D RAW files. joirsmak's explanation is interesting. How would that be useful to have that capability... has anyone tried messing around with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jorismak Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Hmm.. you're really expecting something useful to happen when you click cancel ? In most other programs you end up with nothing then and no settings saved. I don't see an issue here with this. 'oh, I clicked cancel by accident. Reopen the file and start again'. In acr it's exactly the same... The way to 'fix' it seems to be then to just close the file if you click cancel instead of showing the raw undeveloped data. It still makes you go 'grrr stupid me should not have clicked cancel' :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ablichter Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Hmm.. you're really expecting something useful to happen when you click cancel ? Yes. In most other programs you end up with nothing then and no settings saved. I don't see an issue here with this. 'oh, I clicked cancel by accident. Reopen the file and start again'. In acr it's exactly the same... No, it's not. Sorry. Aside that a "cancle" in ACR means not to touch the RAW (means also its metadata is untouched), it's not like this in ACR. Even with all values set to zero (except whitebalance and tint) we get different results. I either expect those zero values being applied or - even better - that the image is not opened at all when cancle is clicked. Combined with the actual behavior the metadata might get changed, in case they decide in future to write them to a sidecar file or a database (as ACR does). regards, Ablichter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AiDon Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 It's a bug. The document is supposed to close when you press Cancel. Are you sure? Because you can switch to the Develop Persona at any point from the other Personas such as Photo and you wouldn't water it to close your image but return to the Photo Persona or where you invoked it from ...

IanSG Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 It's a bug. The document is supposed to close when you press Cancel. Why would that be the correct behaviour? Surely canceling just means don't apply the changes? It seems that the bug is the Develop persona's different behaviours when it's entered via opening a RAW file and when it's selected - a persona's behaviour should be consistent.

If you select Develop Persona and then cancel, you're cancelling the develop operation. If you load a RAW file and then cancel, you're cancelling the file load. Seems consistent to me.

If you load a RAW file and then cancel, you're cancelling the file load. Seems consistent to me. I'm not cancelling the load operation, I'm canceling the changes I made in the Develop persona. My idea of consistency is that the persona should apply the same changes (or lack of them) regardless of how it's entered.

Well, I do cancle the load op - or rather this is what I'd like to happen when clicking cancle. regards, Ablichter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Jon W Posted November 28, 2016 Staff Share Posted November 28, 2016 @IanSG: When you press Cancel, you're returning to whatever state you were in before you entered Develop Persona. When you load the RAW file, Develop Persona is opened automatically - these two things are treated as a single operation, so it wouldn't make sense for Cancel to return to a useless, half-way "loaded but not yet in Develop" state.

At the top right of the image there's a "close image" button - why not use that (perhaps with a warning if any changes have been made)? As things stand, if I click on "close image" AF insists that a cancel first, regardless of any changes. AP, AD & APub user, running Win10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take your point, but I'm being forced to cancel because I want to use a different persona. If I cancel, the image available going forward into Photo isn't the same as the one I get by Developing but not making any changes in the Develop persona.

A cancel button (should) stop the current action and return me to the state I was before (which was Photo Persona) - without the need to press any other button.

AiDon Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Yes I agree that the operation should be cancelled,in PS you are not cancelling ACR but the file open action. In this case the close file option is there after you have opened a file, entered Develop, then cancelled the operation.

I'm an IT guy too, and I completely agree with you - but returning to the Photo Persona isn't my concern. Unless I've horribly misunderstood him, Jon believes that cancelling the develop persona from a freshly loaded RAW file or one which has been changed should close that file. I respectfully disagree! I believe the cancel button should discard any changes but the user is left in the Develop persona. Selecting a different persona should then be an option without having to explicitly Develop first. If the user wants to close the image then press the close image button. AP, AD & APub user, running Win10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Jon W Posted November 28, 2016 Staff Share Posted November 28, 2016 Selecting a different persona should then be an option without having to explicitly Develop first. None of the other personas can work with an undeveloped RAW file. You have to develop it first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
