Camera Raw

I'm planning a presentation to a photography club on the subject of all the new masking tools in Adobe Camera Raw, to encourage club members to subscribe to Adobe's photography plan.  I plan to demonstrate the selective masking functions for skies, objects, backgrounds, people, landscapes, etc.  However, the building where I will give this presentation has no wifi/internet connection.  Will these new tools work?  

Hello,So i have been having this issue, camera raw wont update and its preventing my other apps from updating as well. I dont have camera raw installed to my Mac, but it says installed to this device.If anyone has some advice that would be great thank you.

In ACR, Apply Previous Settings does not apply the previously selected Calibration: Process Version. No matter which process version was previously used, it defaults to Version 6.   Camera Raw 17.3.1 Camera Raw Plugin

I shoot RAW photos with a Canon 5D Mark IV. Until recently, my .CR2 files showed without issue in the preview pane after downloading them to my MAC system. Since my upgrade to Sequoia 15.4.1, the preview pane shows black. Once the images go through post processing and are saved as .psd or .jpg files, the preview pane functions normally. Is this an Adobe issue due to Adobe/MAC incompatabilities or is this something that stems from the MAC side? Anyone else have this issue?  Any ideas?

Why it doesnt work with ps Elements?  

When I select the sky in Adobe Camera Raw (v. 17.3, Windows 11, 23H2 latest version), automatic adjustemts are applied. Often I do not like them but would want delete the automatic adjustments and do what I intended instead. Is there an easy way to undo the automatic adjustments, keeping the selection and start all over with the adjustment? 

We're happy to announce the release of Adobe Camera Raw 17.3.1!   This update includes bug fixes and added support for the Sony RX100VIIA. To update Lightroom to 17.3.1, click “Update” in the Creative Cloud desktop app next to Adobe Camera Raw. Find more information here.

In Adobe Camera RAw (ACR), in the Presets Panel, when I right-click on a saved preset, what is meant by "Set Modal Raw Settings"?

I recently got a new MacBook Pro. Since transfering everything over from my old one I can't seem to preview CR2 (RAW) files. I use to be able to click on a CR2 files then hit the space bar to see a preview of the image. Now all I see is black in the window, see attached example. Can anyone help with this...?

I can't scroll through the previews, is it a bug or [the absence of] a feature?I can just click and drag the bar to view the series. Frankly, I haven't opened any series in it for a long time and already forgot if this option was ever there.  

I see how to install previous versions of Adobe Cloud apps (Photoshop, etc.). I don't see how to install previous version of Camera Raw, does anyone know how?  I am having trouble with Camera Raw version 17.3, would like to intall previous version 17.2 to see if that is the problem.

Hi, Does anyone know why my option for iso adaptive presets is not available when trying to save an iso adaptive preset when having the technology preview turned on in ACR? I have the latest version installed. Is it because I have technology preview turned on or some other issue?It seems to be possible to create other non-iso adaptive presets.This is only valid for ACR with the technology preview turned on. Not valid for LR Classic since the option is not available there within the Detail section in presets on CR3 files.Thanks in advanceOla

I was facing a problem with my raw photos for canon r5 mark 2 the photos appears in the finder as a black photo and it will not be previewed until I zoom in! and that's only happened after I updated the camera raw filter to the version 17.3, as before I update it, it was working perfectly without any issues. I tried to solve the problem by installing the older version of camera raw 14.5, but it became worse, as photoshop now can't open any raw photos, and also cannot open the camera raw filter at all!! Can anyone help me to uninstall all camera raw fiters i have and reinstall the older version??

When using ACR the masking panel does not undock when a mask type is selected. Am I missing a parameter setting somewhere?ACR 15.0; PS 24.0.0; Win 10 64-bit

Since this morning, Adobe Camera Raw has stopped supporting GPU acceleration. When I try to edit photos directly from bridge (Canon Raw or jpg), I get the message: "Camera Raw requires GPU acceleration to edit photos."I've checked my settings, and everything seems fine. So I opened photoshop bu it also can no open Camera Raw Filer for me so I checked performance setting, it does show my GPU (meaning adobe photoshop recognises it) but stil can not open Camera RAW Filter in photoshop too . Has anyone else faced this issue? How can I fix it?Any advice or fixes would be greatly appreciated! 

Hello everyone:I have the latest version of PS (in Spanish) 26.6.0 and Camera Raw  17.3 installed; these are the latest versions available.These versions run on a Mac Mini 2018 with a CPU: 3.2 GHz 6-core Intel Core i7, GPU: 1536 MB Intel UHD Graphics 630, and 64 GB of memory.In the previous version of camera Raw, I was able to use the "Adaptive Color" profile. Now I'm getting an error (in Spanish, which I hope can be translated understandably into English), saying "Could not update all AI settings."What's the problem?I would appreciate a quick response.José Víctor González

Camera RAW: Merge to Panorama - Preview Problem (PS 26.6.0 + ACR 17.3.0)in Camera RAW, the preview are rotated clockwise 90° when Auto Settings is NOT checked in ALL 3 Projection modes (Spherical, Cylindrical & Perspective). The same problem happens with PS 26.3 & ACR 17.2.See attached files.    

Sono 4 giorni che attendo un aggiornamento: CAMERA RAW non funziona all'improvviso dicendo che la mia GPU non è compatibile, ma vi viene invece una conferma di compatobilità asoluta su Photoshop. Vi prego rimediate alla svelta che ho del lavoro da terminare.

I have a camera converted to super color IR by Life Pixel. The method Life Pixel recommends to create a white balance profile is to export a raw file created with the IR camera as DNG. Next, run the DNG Profile Editor, open the file, click the Color Matrices tab, move the temperature slider all the way to the left, then export the profile for use in LR and ACR. This is necessary because the DNG Profile Editor lets you select a much lower color temperature than the Temperature sliders in LR/ACR.The DNG Profile Editor has been abandoned by Adobe. It runs on Windows but does not scale on high resolution monitors. I read online that it does not run at all on Mac High Sierra or later.The new Adobe Profile SDK, which is Adobe's replacement for the DNG Profile Editor, let's us create profiles in ACR. Unfortunately that does not work for those of us with IR cameras because the Temperature slider in ACR does not have the range of the Temperature slider in DNG Profile Editor as stated above.Yes,

After upgrading to Camera Raw 12.4.0.555 I am getting the following error when trying to open a raw file:"Unable to read the full size image" This happens when files are on a network drive. If I copy the files to a local drive there is no problem opening the files. Workstation:  iMac Pro (2017), MacOS Catalina (10.15.7)Photoshop version: 21.2.4Raw files:  Olympus RAW (ORF files)Files are located on Network Drive, (AFP), permissions are 777. Since nothing hass changed on the NAS, and the previous version of ACR did not have this issue, it must be some bug. Please fix a.s.a.p. Rick 

Good afternoon, I always use Adobe Camera Raw to edit my photos, but when I use masks, Camera Raw is so slow that it is no longer usable.For example, if I open 30 photos in ACR and edit them, it is really really very fast.But if I use a mask even once, ACR becomes so extremely sluggish and slow that it can no longer be used.I then have to close everything and then it works quickly again, until I use masks again. It gets slow if I click on masking just once. I have a Windows 11 PC with Intel I9 13900k processor - 64Gb RAM - NVIDIA RTX 4070Who knows the solution?

"The Camera Raw settings could not be applied because there were no Camera Raw files selected or selected files were read-only" This keeps appearing when I try to open photos to camera raw. The weird thing is it's only for this one photo session.  Any ideas what it means? I'm able to bipass it by going to edit the photos in photoshop, but its a hassle cause I'm editing a whole wedding.  Any thoughts?
