Camera Raw

I am writing this report as a long-time paying Adobe customer (over five years) because this issue has reached a point where it is seriously impacting my professional work.Today was the third time I lost 100% of my AI Denoise progress because Camera Raw exhausted all available memory and crashed.This is no longer an isolated incident. It has become part of my workflow, and I am now spending more time repeating work than actually editing photographs.My system:MacBook Air M4 16 GB Unified Memory 512 GB SSD Latest version of macOS Latest version of Photoshop 2026 Camera Raw 18.4.1I primarily work with Canon EOS RP (.CR3) files.The crashes happened so frequently with CR3 files that I completely changed my workflow and started converting every image to DNG before editing, hoping to avoid the issue.Unfortunately, that only delays the problem.Today’s session contained 347 photographs.I had already processed almost every image with AI Denoise when macOS displayed a warning that system memory h

When I go to Crop & Expand the default setting now has the Generative Expand box open and the geometry Box closed, I know I can open it but I have to repeat that step with every bloody image I open when opening images individually. I can’t get rid of Generative Expand and Anamorphic two less useful items that I now have to click through. The continues urge to update software that works perfectly well and add functionality that very few people ever want or need in order to charge exorbitant fees is getting out of hand. Adobe seems to urge people to change to Affinity, Capture One or others. I am paying for 26 programs of which I use about 6, the others I subsidise it appears. You clearly don’t use the software yourself. The question is WHY??

Cropping an image (sometimes some border parts are transparent pixels ) : when generative development sub-panel is rolled down(”generate” button lit in blue) generate fill starts automatically and it fails; when rolled up (“generate” button not visible), it doesn't automatically start. Seriously Adobe? Is this a software we pay money for? Please @adobe stop giving us meaningless new versions; we prefer tools that actually work to flashy Firefly options.

Previous Early Access Feedback can be found here.   Generative Remove makes it easier to remove unwanted objects and distractions with a simple gesture, even on complex backgrounds. For more accurate results, be sure to include the object's shadow in your selection and/or expand its size.    Detect Objects uses AI to find the objects underneath a brushed area. The masked areas will now appear larger than the Early Access version of this feature. You can also circle objects for quicker selection now.    We have also updated the spot selection experience to make it easier to manage variations, switch the fill type, refine the selection area, or re-generate as needed.    Batch updating is also now supported for Generative Remove spots. As Generative AI analyzes portions of the image that have been cropped out, Camera Raw has the ability to tog

Updated on July 7th, 2026.This post is to collect in-app customer feedback on the Generative Expand feature in Camera Raw.  Generative Expand seamlessly blends the edges of your existing image with newly generated content that naturally fits into the background without taking away from your photo’s original subject. Some use cases for Generative Expand are: Expand the canvas for images that were accidentally cropped  Fill in the edges of Geometry Edits Adjust the aspect ratio of a photo for social media  We'd love to hear what it does well, what it doesn't, and how you'd like it to work.  Please also include the following details in your post:  Camera Raw version System details Example image(s) if you wish to share Our team continually monitors this thread.

In Camera Raw, there are eye icons next to masks and adjustment panels. Toggling them on or off reveals or hides the changes. When I press an eye icon to hide, it almost immediately and automatically switches back to visible. If I try clicking it a lot and holding it, I may get it to stay off, but then I get the oppsite issue--I can't get it to stay on . How do I make it so that the eye icon does not automatically toggle back to on immediately after I turn it off? I can't find the setting for this anywhere. Is there some kind of trick I am not aware of?    

Announcing a new feature now in Adobe Camera Raw (17.2) – Removal of Distracting PeopleUnder the Remove dialog, under Distraction Removal, we have added an item called “People”.   This feature supports faster and easier detection and removal of distracting people in an image. It is offered as a Tech Preview in the Adobe Camera Raw Plugin-only and is available now. Please try it out and let us know what works well, what doesn’t work well, and anything that might improve the experience.   Thank you! Peter Baust - Dir, Product Management   Posted by Rikk Flohr  

Using an R6III with en EF 11-24 F4L via an EF to RF adapter, and I am noticing significant barrel distortion at the wide end that the profile in Adobe Camera Raw isn’t taking out.The strange thing is that I used the exact same lens and adapter on my R6 mark 1, using the same lens profile in ACR and it corrects the distortion well.Anyone have any insights?I can correct manually but it gets tedious (shooting real estate)

Please can someone explain the changes to the crop tool in Camera Raw (18.3)?When using the gemoetry options I cannot crop to the edge of the image no matter what I do - this was no problem before. When the crop area is maximised, the crop tool no longer drags the cropped area, it only draws a new area to crop.This is incredibly frustrating. Please can someone tell me how to get the legacy crop tool back? This wasn’t included in any “What’s New” content I have seen.

This post applies to Adobe Camera Raw plug-in.     Adobe Camera Raw team is sharing an early look of our new Reflection Removal feature, which removes reflections caused by plate glass surfaces from photos.    Note:  The feature currently only works on raw photos. Support for JPEGs & HEICs is added in the April 24 Update. There is a known issue on some Windows machines where the feature may produce a corrupt image. We are working on a fix for the upcoming release.    Check out HelpX for more detailed usage information. For more technical information on the underlying technology, please refer to this Blog post.    Getting started with the Reflection Removal feature:  Make sure you have the “New AI Features and Settings Panel” Technology Preview enabled in the Camera Raw plug-in Preferences dialog (requires restarting the host application to activate).  Go to the Remove panel [B] , and in the “Distraction Re

Please Bring Back the “Constrain Crop” Option in Adobe Camera RawPlease bring back the “Constrain Crop” option that was available in previous versions of Adobe Camera Raw.This feature automatically adjusted the crop boundary when an image was rotated, preventing empty or transparent areas from appearing around the edges. It was extremely useful for photographers who need to straighten and crop large numbers of images quickly.In the latest version, this option is no longer available, which makes the cropping workflow much slower and less convenient. Users now have to manually adjust the crop after every rotation, even though the previous feature handled this automatically with a single checkbox.Removing this option feels like a significant step backward, especially for professional photographers who process hundreds or thousands of images at a time. Please restore the original “Constrain Crop” checkbox, or provide an equivalent option that users can enable or disable depending on their

At the moment I don’t shoot in raw and do not want Photoshop to open in Camera Raw. I have tried the various suggestions and rebooted both photoshop and my Mac laptop but it still opens my jpeg files in Camera Raw. Any suggestions on how I can top Photoshop opening in Camera Raw would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi everyone, I’m a professional photographer specializing in interior photography.In my workflow, which involves processing images through Adobe Camera Raw, perspective correction is an essential step.Correcting vertical and horizontal lines manually takes some time, especially when it has to be done image by image. So, when Adobe introduced the one-click Guided Upright feature for automatically straightening lines, I was genuinely excited.Unfortunately, after testing it in real-world situations, I found that it only worked reliably in a limited number of cases, and I soon stopped using it.The main issue is that, when an image contains many visible lines, the algorithm does not always distinguish between the primary architectural lines and secondary elements.For example, when photographing a hotel room, the main reference lines should be those of the room itself, such as the walls, floor and ceiling. However, the algorithm is often distracted by wardrobes, furniture, doors and other el
