When presented with a New Post screen in the Adobe Community, you are given three options for Conversation Type: Discussion, Bug, and Idea.   If you were searching in Discussions, the New Post window will default to Discussions. If you are searching in Bugs, the New Post window will default to Bugs and likewise for Ideas.   Many customers instinctually report problems they are experiencing as “Bugs”. It is natural to think that a problem you are having might be a bug. A bug is defined, for our purposes, as “something in the software that is not functioning as it was designed to function”. Interpreting whether a behavior is a bug or not is not always easy, however. Here are some reasons why you might want to consider posting first to Discussions rather than jumping straight to reporting in Bugs: Most items reported as Bugs are not actual bugs. In a typical group of reported bugs, only about 3 out of 25* bugs reported turn out to be actual bugs.  Of those, typically 2 ou

P: How do I write a feature request?Open for Voting

Adobe is excited to receive requests for additional features you need to enhance your workflow.   What can you do to increase the chances of being heard?  Don't use the words "Feature Request" in your post's title. Search for and add to existing feature requests rather than creating duplicates. There is no advantage to creating a second request for any existing feature request.  One request per thread!When creating an Idea or Feature Request thread, please keep requests for features to ONE request per thread. Doing this will allow others to vote on a single, specific feature and not confuse Upvotes amongst a list of feature requests. If an Idea thread has multiple requests in it, a moderator may ask you to split the multiple requests up into multiple threads so others can vote. In the event there remain multiple requests on a thread, the first item requested will be the arbiter of where the thread will be cross-referenced or merged. Describe how the featu

Bug Reports

P: How do I write a bug report?

Bugs should only be reported for the latest or current version of Camera Raw. If you believe you have a bug it must be verified on the latest version of Camera Raw. New bug reports will not be accepted for older versions of the software.  If you believe you have encountered a bug, it is important to first search the existing bugs to see if your issue and a possible solution or workaround have already been reported. If so, please add to that thread. If not, it may be prudent to start a new thread.Greater than 90% of the bugs reported are not actually bugs. Before starting a new thread, please read:P: Do I post in Discussions or Bugs?   When logging a new bug report, it's required by the Camera Raw team for the information in the report to include steps to reproduce the bug experience. Once we can reproduce an issue, then we can start to investigate a fix. Bug reports without reproduction steps will be moved to discussions.If, after some troubleshooting, we find

P: Camera-Matching Profiles: Requests and information

Camera-matching Profiles are applicable to Camera Raw, Lightroom Classic, and the Lightroom Ecosystem products (Desktop, Mobile, and Web).Note: Not all cameras will receive camera-matching profiles.   This thread is a place to request missing camera-matching profiles for specific models. Please include a complete camera model designation and a list of the specific camera-matching profiles you are requesting in your request. If your camera is already listed in this thread, please reply to the specific camera’s post rather than just posting in-line.   Camera-matching profiles are provided for some camera manufacturers and models. As raw support is added for individual camera models, camera-matching profiles for some cameras may be added when raw support is initially offered.  Other cameras may see camera-matching profiles added at a later date. It is also possible that a specific camera may see a long delay or perhaps not ever receive a specific camera-matching p

P: Lens Profile requests and information

Lens Profiles apply to Camera Raw, Lightroom Classic, and the Lightroom Ecosystem products (Desktop, Mobile, and Web).   Lens Profiles are available for a wide array of lenses. Not every lens is currently profiled, and of those profiled, not all are profiled for all camera and file types. For example, there may be a profile for a particular lens and camera mount for the raw file but not for the JPEG. Normally, profiles for JPEG are not supplied unless the camera does not apply a correction (e.g. iPhone, GoPro). A complete list of profiled lenses can be found here: https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/supported-lenses.html other helpful info: https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/lens-profile-support.html#Supported_lenses  Lens correction for all Micro 4/3 (MFT) lenses and many newer cameras, including Panasonic and Olympus cameras, and other cameras (including Fuji X,  Leica Q, and Nikon Z series)plus many point-and-shoot models from Ca

Camera RAW Radial Gradient Shortcut behaviorsOpen for Voting

When the Camera RAW Radial Gradient tool was first introduced, one could hit “X” WHILE DRAGGING to flip the effect. One could ALSO HOLD THE SPACEBAR WHILE CREATING* the Radial Gradient before releasing the mouse to REPOSITION the gradient.These VERY USEFUL behaviors were lost sometime since.It would be a DELIGHT to see them return.(*Same behavior already exists in InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop.)

When entering Crop mode, the system stutters slightly and the image is not longer zoom out slightly.

When entering Crop mode, the system stutters slightly and the image is no longer zoomed out.Previously when entering the crop mode, the image would slightly zoom out and you could rotate the crop quickly from the side of the image (Landscape) top or bottom for (Portrait orientation).Since the update, the image is no longer zoomed out making it not possible to quickly get the rotation cursor on the sides (Landscape orientation) or top/bottom for (Portrait orientation).I’m also noticing there is a short stutter when entering Crop mode,which didn’t exist before the recent Camera Raw Update.I’m using Camera Raw 18.4.0.2608 in Bridge 16.03.21

Crop tool in ACR zooms-out of image and does not return

When I crop an image and finish with it the new crop does not fill the screen. Its stays the same size and just removes all the pixels outside the crop. In previous versions when I would confirm the crop with the enter key it with bring the new images to fit in view. Its is frustrating that I have one more button to click now every time I crop and every time and slightly adjust the crop.Im using ACR 18.4 on a 2024 M4 Mac Mini

After upgrading to 15.4, several, but not all, of my hdr pano photos report the above error, along with “The file appears to be unsupported or damaged”. Restored these “damaged” photos from versioned backup on Backblaze from versions several months old and still received the error. Reverted to 15.3.1 and these files no-longer show the error.

Camera Raw 18.4 is Live! Precision masking, Vectorscope, and faster workflows

This release brings sharper precision, deeper color insight, and more control to every edit. What’s NewThe June update for Camera Raw v18.4 brings sharper precision, richer color insight, and more control in your editing workflow. You’ll notice significantly improved subject detection when masking, making it easier to isolate subjects, even in complex, busy backgrounds, for faster and cleaner edits.Color workflows get a meaningful upgrade with the introduction of Vectorscope, which lets you visualize hue and saturation distributions for more accurate color grading and consistent skin tones.Alongside this, the new Bidirectional Gradient mask opens up creative possibilities with two-sided gradients, helping you create smooth transitions and highly targeted adjustments.This release also expands support for the latest DJI and Canon camera models, as well as Canon and Sony lenses, ensuring you can seamlessly edit files from newer gear without compatibility concerns.Learn more about what’s n

Hola de nuevo,en Camera Raw, sería estupendo que al principio de los paneles principales (donde se encuentran los Perfil, Editar, Auto, B&W, HDR…) hubiese una casilla para marcar llamada “invertir” (o similar)… para que, una vez seleccionada, se pudiese editar una imagen de un negativo, en positivo, sin que todos los parámetros ajustables posteriores se encuentren al revés.

P: Enhancement of function and image flip indication in Bridge and Camera RawOpen for Voting

Hola! sería muy bueno incorporar y perfeccionar unos detalles respecto al volteo de imágenes en Bridge y Camera Raw. Al igual que en su día sugerí incorporar el símbolo de recorte en las miniaturas, cuando por ejemplo un Raw está reencuadrado... sería de mucha ayuda otro símbolo que indique si la imagen está volteada. Sobretodo para los que trabajamos digitalizando película fotográfica sería de mucho agradecer. Además, en Camera Raw, cuando intentamos sincronizar una imagen volteada con otras imágenes… no sucede. Y en las instantáneas guardadas (snapshots) el volteo queda establecido sin lógica.

BW mix disabled when BW Camera Profiles are selected

When a Color Camera Profile is selected, the user has full access to the HSL menu. But for BW Camera Profiles the BW mix is disabled. For some brands (Fuji, Nikon) a dedicated ‘BW + filter’ profile is provided (e.g. Acros, Acros +Y, Accros +R) but not for my Panasonic Lumix files.The only method to tweak the color response and emulate a contrast filter is to use the Adobe Monochrome profile. What is the rational behind disabling the BW mix ?

P: if the brush is resized in between changing a slider and making the first brush stroke, the slider resets to zero

When creating a new brush mask in ACR, if the brush is resized in between changing a slider and making the first brush stroke, the slider resets to zero. For example- Press K to create a new brush mask- Set the highlights slider to -100- Right click on the mouse to resize brush- The highlights slider resets to zeroIf you don’t change the brush size, the mask works as intended.

P: a user-defined lens list or "My Lenses" libraryOpen for Voting

I am currently revisiting and reprocessing my photo archive, and I have noticed that Camera Raw is often unable to automatically identify the correct lens profile for older images.In many cases, Camera Raw can determine the lens type and focal length range, but not the exact lens model. I therefore have to manually select the correct profile. While the software often presents a very similar lens, it may choose a newer version instead of the exact model that was used.A feature that could greatly improve this workflow would be a user-defined lens list or "My Lenses" library. Users could specify the lenses they own or have owned, and when lens metadata is incomplete, Camera Raw could prioritize matching against that list before searching the entire lens profile database.For example, if Camera Raw knows that I only owned one particular 70-300mm lens, it could select that profile automatically rather than presenting multiple possible matches. This would be especially helpful when working wi

Camera Raw edits not transferring properly during export

When I go to export my images after editing in CR, the Tiff files look completely different to how they do in CR. I have tried using the save button in CR and Photoshop Image processor, even just opening the files into Photoshop doesn’t work. The format I’m exporting to also does not affect the issue. The edits themselves use masks and denoise, however I have tried exporting without the masks and the issue is still there. What is more bizarre is each time I export, the file comes out slightly differently. I thought it may be a GPU issue and so reset the GPU support, but again to no avail. To clafiy there are no compression settings being applied when exporting.I’m running the latest updates of Photoshop, Raw and Bridge on Tahoe 26.5 with 32GB RamAny help would be hugely appreciated!What the edit looks like in CR on the left vs what the tiff exports as on the right

The phenomenon of a mesh pattern appearing on the Ricoh GR III series.

There is a bug in Ricoh's GR III series cameras that causes a mesh pattern to appear.Setting the texture and dehaze settings to 100 in Lightroom or Camera RAW may sometimes result in a mesh-like pattern appearing.Even just dehaze can sometimes be noticeable.Since some images do not show noticeable symptoms, it is thought that there are specific factors such as brightness and color at play.Set Texture、Dehaze +100↓Lightroom Classic 14.5Camera RAW 18.3Win11This post is based on information from users.
