Camera Raw

If I double, click of a jpg. That I’ve already edited, it will open camera raw. But not a new jpg. I have the box clicked where it says double click opens camera raw. There is no error message.

In the last 4 days, it has happened at least 4 times where I have made significant adjustments to an image in Camera Raw - on the Edit panel, a bunch of masks, cropping, created snapshots - the works... and the image just spontaneously resets itself to previous settings. I cannot say 100% but I think it has reset them to the settings that were there when it was last opened. The snapshots even disappeared. It is definitely not user error - I am not hitting anything that is causing this to happen and I cannot Command+Z to undo it. I haven't yet pinpointed exactly what tab I am on when it happens. Has anyone else experienced this?CameraRaw 18.6.0.26982024 MacBook Air M3 16GB

Use Profile Corrections (Camera Raw, Optics, Profile) used to be automatic.  Now every RAW file I open (I only shoot in RAW), I have to tell it to use profile corrections.  It becomes really annoying when opening 20-30 images a day.I work on images from  Nikon D-300 (not so much anymore), D-810 (the most for now) and Nikon Z8 (newly purchased) and all lenses I use appear on the Adobe list as being supported.  The Z8 is not a problem as it has a built-in correction.I found instructions for a Camera Raw Preset (Stephen Marsh, 6 years ago) but it doesn’t work with the current version of Camera Raw (I’m on the prescription plan and updated).Does anyone have a way to make Use Profile Corrections permanent or automatic? Thanks for the help. 

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.  This seems to have started happening since version 18.3.1 

This is a pretty simple bug that was introduced when "Raw Details" was changed into a button instead of creating a new DNG, it removed the ability to apply raw details to several raw files then merge them to a Panorama. You used to be able to do this with separate DNGs, but now this ability has been removed, please put it back!!!   I have tried this many different ways, applying Raw Details to the raw files, when merged to Panorama it's undone and turned off permanently (visible when comparing the raw and merged Pano side by side). I tried applying raw details, then converting to DNG, then merging to panorama, same effect. The wonderful algorithm of Raw Details is completely wiped out when the image is merged to a Panorama, it used to work when it made a separate DNG, PLEASE FIX this newly introduced bug.   Have not tried but likely the same with HDR merging!  

In previous versions of ACR, you could execute the following steps:edit a photo select a second photo (or multiples) hover your cursor over the edited photo to select the icon that will bring up the Synchronize box, select the edit options to apply to the second photo and click OK. All of the options you selected will be pasted to the second photo. NOW: this is what happens:edit a photo select a second photo when you hover the cursor over the first photo, the icon for Synchronize is NOT available. If you hover the cursor over the second photo, the Synchronize icon IS available. If you select it, the options on the second photo are applied to the first photo effectively wiping out all of the previous edits. Additionally NO masks are applied. The only work-around I have found to go select the dots icon, click Copy Selected Edit Settings to get the dialog box; then go to the second photo and select the dots icon and click Paste Selected Edit Settings. Making an easy process time consuming

The bottom image is the original one. With person removal, only the person on the bottom right corner was detected. Also, the man on the right as his right leg bizarrely recreated.

Only ONE distructing person is identified, while there are several.  “Exclude area from remove” doesn’t work, since cursor turns into ZOOM mode when moved to that area and you can’t point to the pin.Previous version worked much better !(I work in Windows 11)

Problem:Benutzer-Presets von Adobe Camera Raw, die Maskierungen enthalten, werden im Camera-Raw-Filter von Photoshop nicht angezeigt.Ich arbeite professionell mit Photoshop und Camera Raw unter Windows 11 Pro.Mein Workflow:Ich öffne ein DNG direkt in Adobe Camera Raw. Ich verwende bzw. erstelle ein Benutzer-Preset, das neben normalen Entwicklungsparametern auch Maskierungen enthält. Dieses Preset wird im normalen Camera Raw korrekt unter meinen Benutzer-Presets angezeigt und funktioniert einwandfrei. Anschließend bearbeite ich das Bild in Photoshop und erstelle daraus eine zusammengefasste/gesamte Pixel-Ebene. Ich öffne diese Ebene über Filter → Camera Raw-Filter. Das betreffende Preset ist dort nicht vorhanden. Auch nach Aktivierung von „Teilkompatible Presets anzeigen“ erscheint es nicht.Interessanter Vergleich:Wenn ich aus demselben Preset eine XMP-Version ohne die Maskierungsdaten erstelle, wird diese im Camera-Raw-Filter angezeigt und funktioniert dort korrekt.Damit lässt sich das

This post applies to Camera Raw.  Feedback for Lightroom Classic and Lightroom Desktop should be posted here.   Update February 2025:Adobe has introduced two Adaptive Profiles – Adaptive Color & Adaptive B&W.   Getting started with the Adaptive Profiles:  Access a profile inside the profile favorites menu.  In addition, there is a new section for Adaptive Profiles in the Profiles browser.  Enable the profile and adjust the ‘Amount’ slider as desired.  Use the rest of the Camera Raw tools just like you would otherwise.  Check out the Help Page for more detailed usage information. For more technical information on the underlying technology, please refer to this blog post.    Please try the profiles and share feedback in this community forum thread. It would help to include details like how you access Camera Raw (via Adobe Bridge or Photoshop), your computer system details, and as much information as poss

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.

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.

★ I'm re-uploading because there are some corrections to make.  Starting in 2025, when using Camera Raw, a phenomenon occurs in the “Optics” section where color aberrations actually increase during distortion correction.  Even though "Remove color aberration" is checked, the color aberration is not being removed cleanly.  Color aberration is only somewhat reduced when the 'distortion" correction amount is set to 0.  When the “distortion” correction value is 1 or greater, chromatic aberration actually occurs. (This also includes the default setting value of 100.)  Also, in the latest version, even if you set the “distortion” correction to 0, it still feels like chromatic aberration is not removed cleanly, as in version 17.0.  I’m wondering whether it’s my laptop’s specs that are the problem, or if others are experiencing the same issue.   * I am currently using a Canon body and lens. I used the matching lens profile in Camera Raw as well.       

Just find out, that DENOISE dont work for RAW files from Ricoh GRIIIx (DNGs)

Subject: Camera Raw 18.6 – Glow/Schein effect not updating until cache resetHello Adobe Team,I am using Camera Raw 18.6.0.2698 on a Mac with Apple M5 Pro.I tested the new Glow/Schein feature on a Sony ARW file. The controls were available and responsive, but initially there was no visible change in the image preview at all, even with extreme values such as Glow 100, Range 100, Spill 100 and Warmth +100. Switching between Diffusion, Bloom and Halation also produced no visible result.I reproduced this both through the Camera Raw Filter in Photoshop and by opening the RAW file directly in Camera Raw.GPU acceleration was enabled and reported as supported. I also tested different GPU settings and restarted Photoshop.The effect only became visible after I cleared the Camera Raw cache and increased the cache size from 5 GB to 10 GB.This suggests a possible preview/cache/rendering issue in Camera Raw 18.6.System: MacBook with Apple M5 ProCamera Raw: 18.6.0.2698File type: Sony ARWPhotoshop 2026

If the working profile in both Photoshop and ACR are the same, the skin tones match the proper hue when a photoshop image is brought into ACR.  However, the skin tone line on the new vector scope is not moving to adjust for the fact that the Hue value associated with skin tone varies between color spaces.  The skin tone line seems to be set at a hue of about 18 regardless of what the working export color space is, so it gives incorrect skin tones unless you are exporting to Rec709. space.Open an image in photoshop with skin and convert it to Rec709 color space.In the settings panel ensure that ACR working space is also Rec 709. Open the base layer in ACR and select the skin of the subject.  The skin tones will properly align with the skin tone line on the new vector scope, at a hue of about 18-19 degrees. Now, cancel in ACR and use the Edit menu to convert the image to ProPhoto color space.  In the settings panel, change the settings to ensure that ACR is also exporting to the ProPhoto

My GPU is no longer being recognized by Adobe Camera Raw from versions 18.4.1 and beyond (18.4.0 has no issues). Both 18.4.1 and 18.5 are showing the issue for me. Upon upgrading to Adobe Camera Raw 18.4.1 I immediately had the "Camera Raw requires GPU acceleration to edit photos" error when launching ACR from (up to date ) Adobe Bridge. Same result with ACR used with Photoshop.  Both Photoshop and Lightroom themselves showed no GPU issues. No other editing program that recognizes my GPU is having an issue either.My system is as follows:  OS Version: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro (10.0.26200 Build 26200), Video Card: RTX 4070 12GB. Nvida Studio Driver 610.88, 64GB RAM. Since this occurred on July 20th I've installed a wide variety of versions of ACR. The error occurs only when ACR 18.4.1 or 18.5 are installed.  Downgrading to an earlier version of ACR fixes the problem, upgrading to 18.4.1 or beyond reintroduces it.I initially had this issue crop up with a year old version of the NVIDIA dri
