I was reworking a couple of images saved in RAW format from last year, when I noticed something strange with Camera RAW when it opened in CS6.

Have a look at the images and see what I mean

Any idea why this is ?

What was ur previous version?ive been using 7.1 for ages now and dont know the difference lol
 
Andrew what anomaly?

I feel as if I am playing spot the difference :thinking:
 
I process my RAW in CS6 and it's always started like this. What did it used to look like ?
 
I'm the last person to ask but in my CS6 trial it opens as the bottom screen but when I opened in CS4 (CR 5) it opened like your top screen. If you click the exclamation mark as showing on your top screen doesn't it just update to the layout of the bottom screen?
 
The first screen shot shows ACR using process version 2010 and the second using PV2012.
 
If you processed the image using version 2010 it will usually show up in PV2012 in the old style format. You can update it from the basic tab. I think the new version is much better so you are better off updating it and taking it from there. As far as I know it will handle the old style perfectly well but I always update.
 
The new version of ACR in CS6 (Process 2012) is quite different from the previous version (Process 2010). This ! at the bottom of your image means that the image was processed with version 2010 and you are now using version 2012.
The best thing to do is to load the original unprocessed RAW file in CS6 (ACR) and do the work here. The basic panel features looks similar to version 2010, but if you look at the sliders, you will see there is no more Recover and Fill light. The new Shadow and Higlight adjustments are fabulous and they are worth the upgrade. The clarity slider is still there, but it's far more better than before: you can now push clarity to 100 if you wish, without messing the image
 
Jack agree with what you said, what I dont understand is why today when I edited both of these for the first time ever, that the old option came up.

Ive had the 7.1 since it came out, and the picture that was affected was taken a month after the other one so there was nothing that could have triggered that.

If it had been an old picture I had previously worked then yes I could understand that - really weird
 
Could it be that you had a previous photo with the same file name and it is that one that you previously opened in the software thus creating a sidecar file or other link?
 
The first image is shown in process 2010, the second in process 2012.

If images can be edited in the improved process 2012, like the first image shown, there is an exclamation mark bottom right of the image area - if you click this, you can change to using Process 2012.

You also get the option to change all images in that folder to process 2012, if you wish. The sliders in Process 2012 have names that are easier to relate to the effect thay have on the image.
