CS3 question

[Lisa Nikodym]

OK, I've spent the last hour searching Photoshop's Help, the CS3 menus, and the Adobe web site (where the "log in as guest" option in the forums appears broken), and have been unable to find anything on this question, and it's driving me nuts.  Hopefully someone here has run across this and has an answer...

In CS2, I saved my detailed history log to an external text file so I have a record of changes made to each image.  It included the Camera Raw settings applied to the image.  In CS3, I have similarly set my Preferences to write a detailed history log to an external file, but in CS3 it does not save the Camera Raw settings in this file.  I can't figure out how to tell it to do so.  Was it decided in CS3 to not allow this, or have I just not figured out where to set it, or is it a bug that will be fixed in later releases?

Thanks for any suggestions,
Lisa

I just checked and the only difference between the CS2 and CS3 log file (when set to Detailed) is that CS2 will save workflow settings-ei:space, bit depth, scale, resolution and CS3 doesn't. I don't remember ever seeing the actual Camera Raw settings in a hisotry log...that image specific metadata stored under File Info in the Advanced tab: http://ns.adobe.com/camera-raw-settings/1.0/

Hmm.  Strange.   In CS2, when I asked for a detailed log in an external text file, it automatically wrote the ACR settings (temperature, tint, exposure, shadows, brightness, etc. etc.) in it just after the "Open [filename]" part of the log - all the things that are also in the sidecar xmp file.  I can live with saving both files as a record of what's been done, but it was very convenient to have all the info in a single file.  Do I interpret you correctly that you don't believe that your version of CS2 (or CS3) does that?  I wonder what's different about either my version of CS2 or the way I was using it?

Still puzzled (but thanks for your response),
