Total pain in the ass, used to have these tweaks to get manual rid of CA, now has a bunch of useless pincushion/ barrel distortion tools but now, no fringing tweaks what is that all about?
All of the preformatted lenses are there bu I cannot find any manual tweaks for fine tuning, bummer!

They want you to buy LR to get the CA functions ;-)

Seriously,that's a disappointment for them to change the game like that!

I uploaded it just to try the HDR function. Hoping that it is better than PS. Haven't even had time to try it out yet. Anyone used it? Is it worth having?

What is weird is that the same Product Manager is in charge of both ACR and Lightroom, which means that they are essentially the same software.
The new "Remove Lateral CA" button does work nicely, but I liked my manual tweak ability.

I just do not understand what the pincushion/barrel distortion warping controls could be used for, I guess all this stuff is rev 6 of PS also.
That will teach me to do automatic updates LOL!

BTW that was ACR rev 6.7
The other notable difference is in the preset when you select the 2012 process, radically different to the 2010 and 2003 versions
