    Lightroom and Kelvin Colour Temperatures

    Am I mistaken or is it no longer possible to enter a Kelvin temperature in Camera Raw 14.01?

    If it's not working correctly as in ACR there is a bug and the solution is to turn off 'Show Rich Tooltips' in the Camera Raw preferences.

    I see what is happening. When an image in Photoshop is sent to the Camera Raw Filter there is a +/- 100 scale but from outside the program there is the usual Kelvin scale.

    I'm using ACR 14.0.1.952 (the current build) and have not encountered any such problem.

    That is actually the correct functionality and as long as I remember using the Camera Raw Filter, there has never been a Kelvin scale. Photoshop works on image files, not raw data. The actual colour temperature is "baked-in" to the image file when the raw data is built into an image, just as the colour space is (you can't change that using the Camera Raw filter either).

    There are some slight differences between what the Adobe Camera Raw can do and the Photoshop Camera Raw filter can do.

    For clarity ..................

    This comment was based upon opening a raw file directly into ACR. The bug there was that whilst you can click on the kelvin temperature figures and blue highlight them as soon as you moved the cursor up popped the tips and they were no longer highlighted allowing you to feed your own figures in.

    I wonder if this is a window sizing issue. I can agree that if the Rich tooltip pops up the highlight is lost, although that does not prevent you from changing the temperature by dragging the sliders. This behaviour seems consistent amongst all the ACR controls.

    But for me the Rich Tooltip only pops up if i point my cursor at the "Temperature" text. Moving the cursor anywhere else leaves the highlighted box available for manual number entry via keyboard.
