GH4 Adobe Camera Raw - to color grade GH4

ACR is great for still photos, but it's sorely lacking in secondary color correction tools. The color-binned Hue, Saturation, and Luminance sliders can be useful, but they operate on all shades at once (i.e. the "Master" channel). I find it essential to have individual control of color and dynamics in each of the Shadow, Midrange, and Highlight regions as well. If you've got After Effects as well as Photoshop and want an integrated full-feature color correction tool, I'd recommend checking out Color Finesse, which comes bundled free with After Effects.
 
I'm most interested in that noise reduction. Looks pretty good. I do hate that there's such a limited range of export format options.
 
I can't get to Adobe Raw 8.6 from Win CS6. I appears you have to have the latest CC to get this to work. If anyone knows how to access Adobe Raw from CS6, please let me know. Cheers, Pete
 
Hmmm... this is very interesting! I wonder if this functionality also is within Lightroom 5.5?? I don't have PS CC but I do have LR. I will check tonight and report back.
