Texture Slider in Adobe Camera Raw Best Practices

The new Texture Slider in ACR and LR is really making an impact it seems as it should!  Anytime Adobe adds a slider to either program it means they felt it was necessary to be in there. Otherwise, they would have left it out or changed how other sliders worked to achieve the effect.

The new Texture Slider was added with the most recent update to Photoshop (Adobe Camera Raw) and Lightroom CC 2019.  It is just above the Clarity adjustment in both the basic adjustments (global) and the Adjustment Brushes (Local).  I feel this slider is fantastic, but it almost certainly should be used as a Local adjustment with very few exceptions.

The thing about the Texture slider is that it is a micro-contrast adjustment that heightens the relationship between highlight in shadow in the detail areas of your photo.  Sounds awesome right?  Well, it is until you see what it does to areas that don't have too much highlight or shadow too close together.
