P: Histogram is not visible in the latest ACR but it is visible when using the PS camera raw filter

Just notice something strange following this week's updates: The histogram in Adobe Camera Raw 18.3.1.2580 is not visible, although one can drag a mouse pointer in the blank area and change the luminance. So, it seems to be just not showing. Conversely, when using Photoshop and clicking on the Camera Raw filter, that version of ACR has a visible histogram, with the same functionality as expected.

Updating NVidia drivers to the latest release did not correct the bug.

At least one other user experienced the same bug. His correction was to rollback to 18.3.0

      Recently, I updated Adobe Camera Raw to version 18.3.1.2580. Since the update, ACR does not display a histogram. However, when using the Camera Raw filter from the latest version of Photoshop, the histogram is shown. Since I have used ACR for years with my current computer and hardware without issues (specifically, with ACR displaying the histogram as expected), I assume that the recent ACR upgrade has adversely affected the histogram display (and whatever the bug in ACR, it is not present in the PS ACR filter).

      I have not tried to roll back to an earlier version of ACR.

      My first thought to correct the problem was to install the latest NVidia driver (596.36; studio driver version), but it did not correct the loss of the histogram.

      I also reset GPU support from within the Preferences in ACR. This too did not correct this issue.

      I admit this is more of an annoyance than a ‘show-stopper’, but if anyone knows why this problem happened and, more important, how to correct it, by all means please post a reply.

       

      Thanks, Bob
