P: Camera Raw as a Filter (not the plugin) freezes Photoshop on use

@Crady von Pawlak @Bachiboy Can you confirm if you've downloaded and installed the 25.11 update? Are you still seeing the issue in that build?

This is something that must be specific to a configuration. I'm not seeing on multiple computers, both Mac and Windows.

Thanks.

No use going to Mac. Happens on both platforms.

Can't understand why in August of 2024 this is still an issue but it is, at least in Windows 10. Is this a thing with Apple hardware?  I would seriously consider switching to a Mac if it meant no longer suffering this bug.

Hello awesome people! 

I might have a solution for a few of you.
I'm working on a Macbook Pro 2015 with integrated Intel graphics. I tried a few of the suggested tips but they didn't work, instead what did work, was reducing the image size as the actual was very big 240DPI and about 5500x3500 in document size, once the size was reduced, Camera Raw worked just fine!

Hope it works for you too! 

I am having the same problem, opening some old RAW files from an old Mirrorless Olympus camera.

After about a minute of changing settings within the RAW editor, the program becomes unresponsive and I cannot close Adobe PS or access any other menus.

However, it seems if I open Adobe Photoshop from the file in Windows Explorer (which then loads Adobe Photoshop 25.9.1) the problem occurs.

When opening the file from within Adobe Photoshop, the issue does not occur.

Issue still occurs in 25.9.1. Only difference now is that the progress bar is in the foreground but is still unclickable. Nothing works besides force quitting losing all progres. 

Mine still had the issue after disabling.

Press the ESC key when the Camera Raw is freeze, it really will escape from freezing and you can work and save nomaly. After that, try this method to resetting the Camera Raw preferences:
Hold down the Command key and select Photoshop > Preferences > Camera Raw (macOS) or hold down the Ctrl key and select Edit > Preferences > Camera Raw (Windows).
Click Yes in the dialog that asks "Delete the Camera Raw Preferences?" then Restart your Photoshop.
*I tried and succeeded*
