Adobe Camera Raw 18.6 Adds Native Glow Tool with Diffusion, Bloom and Halation

Adobe Camera Raw 18.6 is out with a new Glow tool sitting in the Effects panel alongside Vignette and Grain. Three styles: diffusion (full-frame haze, think Black Mist filter), bloom (highlight-only soft glow), and halation (warm colour fringing around bright edges, like film base reflection). All three work with ACR's masking system so you can pin the effect to a subject or luminance range — though style settings are global, masks just control intensity. Also in this update: a Metadata Info Panel in the editing workspace, a Trim tool that makes out-of-crop pixels transparent rather than hidden, and new camera and lens profiles. One thing to note: this is ACR, not Lightroom.
