Missing Distraction Removal section in Camera Raw

I've been looking to test out the new dust removal feature in Camera Raw and couldn't find it. Turns out, the entire "Distraction Removal" section is missing from my Camera Raw app. I've gone into settings and enabled "New AI features" as directed in many instructional guides. Restarted Photoshop, and it's still not present. I even tried downloading the latest Photoshop beta (26.11), and I don't have this section at all. What am I doing wrong? I've screenshot the relevant sections for visual aid. Versions:Photoshop 26.9Windows 11 24H2Snapdragon X Elite PC

P: Anamorphic Lens Support (De-squeeze)In Development

I shoot video using the Red Epic camera, which shoots super high resolution video. I often pull high-res photos from the camera and use them in Lightroom. However, I'm hoping to add a feature that supports anamorphic lenses. These lenses shoot natively-stretched pixels. Meaning, the images are stretched vertically 2:1. It's a classic way to shoot movies, and I wish Lightroom supported a way to select the pixel aspect ratio so the images can be viewed undistorted. Currently, I have to stretch them in Photoshop and export. Which is a bummer because the Red Camera's raw files are supported in LR, and I would love to use those files straight from the camera rather than make new ones. Anyone else agree?

My remove tool is not removing objects

My remove tool stopped removing objects. I have tried generative remove and plain remove. Neither work. For instance, I am editing a photo of a baseball catcher making a throw. Off in the distance past the outfield fence is a school bus. I am trying to remove it, but when the remove tool is used, it does nothing. It highlights the area and looks like it is doing something, but it makes no changes. Previously, prior to a couple of days ago, it was working fine. What happened?

Camera Raw Crop Tool

Please can someone explain the changes to the crop tool in Camera Raw?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.

Background/ subject/object selection mask in ACR no long working

In the latest veersion of ACR, the ability to mask subject/background etc has gone wrong. Particularly object masking. It has completely gone to unusable. It slects wrong things, Slects too Little and wont allow adding etc. It has completely changed in quality to the point I can no longer use it. I am stuck using only brush or gradient mask at best

Steps to reproduce: 1. load image in ACR 2. choose the crop tool (C)  3. enlarge the canvas (check "enable expand" first) 4. apply a manual transformation   Result: the stretched image is confined by the dimension of the imageExpected result: the stretched image is only restricted by the size of the canvas   Workaround: Export image with enlarged canvas and use ACR from there

The graphics processor has encountered an unrecoverable error. With AI Tools

When I'm using RAW images for editing, I typically load 10-20 images in Camera Raw. When I try to use AI-related features like AI masking, I receive the following error message:"The graphics processor has encountered an unrecoverable error.Due to a run-time error, GPU acceleration has been disabled for the remainder of the session."I have tried all the methods mentioned in forums for months, almost 6 months now. Currently, I cannot even edit a single photo if the preset is slightly heavy with AI tools such as subject selection or background selection.I have taken the following steps to try to resolve the issue:Updated the BIOS.Performed a clean installation of Windows.Conducted a driver cleanup.Updated drivers to the latest versions.Reinstalled Adobe apps.Tried using a previous version of Camera Raw (version 14.x).Used only Adobe default settings (without my own presets).Experimented with all combinations of graphic acceleration settings.Logged into a new admin user account.Had an Adob

Adobe Bridge is adding color and contrast to my raw files.

As seen on the screen recording added to this post, my raw files are automatically getting more contrast and colour as they are loaded into Adobe Bridge… Anyone else have this problem? And how do I fix it? I would love the images to stay neutral until I edit them.

It would be much better if Camera Raw had a feather effect tool in the masking section. Because after masking, a thin, white line appears around the object that looks awful.

The new masking selection tools in Camera Raw are great, but It would be much better if Camera Raw had a feather effect tool in the masking section. Because after masking, a thin, white line appears around the object that looks awful.

Camera Raw 18.2 forces all WebP files to open in ACR. Version 18.1.1 did not support WebP, so Photoshop opened them normally. Now there’s no way to disable WebP handling. Please add a toggle.

Does anyone have some tips on how to remove blotches in window panes due to polarization?

I know it wasn’t the wisest thing to do, but I didn’t have a chance to change filters or lenses.I was walking through an airport’s departure hall and took a picture of the apron through a large glass window pane. Because I still had my polarization filter on the lens, blotches appeared throughout the pictures, in addition to light reflecting from within the hall. I tried using the removal tool (reflections), but the result was very disappointing. There was hardly a difference noticeable. Was this just too much for the app?If anyone has a good idea on how to eliminate the blotches efficiently and effectively, I’m sure interested. I am on macOS 26.3.1 using Photoshop (27.4.0), Lightroom (15.2.1), and Camera Raw (18.2.2).Thanks for any help.Tom

Photos won't open in Bridge to Camera Raw

"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?

P: DNG support for >65000px >512 MpixOpen for Voting

Currently CameraRaw DNG support is limited to images that are <65000 pixels on either side or <512 Mpix total. This is very restrictive - as for example gigapixel panoramas and super high resolution images exist. The request is to extend the support to the limits of BigTIFF format with regards to resolution. Extra bonus is to support this in DNG SDK as well.

Plantage avec le GPU NVIDIA

P: Tilt-Shift & Technical Camera Lens Distortion Correction ToolOpen for Voting

I've already posted this in the Lightroom ideas, but it is equally important for ACR to have this feature.   I’d like to request a dedicated distortion correction tool for tilt-shift and technical camera lenses in Adobe Camera Raw.   Many tilt-shift and technical camera lenses do not save shift movements in metadata, making automatic correction difficult. However, some modern lenses, such as the Fujinon GF 30mm TS and 110mm TS, do record shift data, enabling software like Capture One to apply automatic corrections.   Rather than attempting to create lens profiles for every possible shift position, a more practical approach would be to calculate distortion based on the full shift range of the lens when shift metadata is available, while also providing manual correction controls for lenses that do not record shift data.   Proposed Tool Features: Automatic distortion correction for lenses that record shift metadata, using the full shift range to determine the correct

Picture Profiles stripped out when converting to DNG

Hi there, I was playing with DNG conversion of my NEF files to save space but I noticed this thing: opening the original NEF file with MacOS’s preview and then launching the Inspector tool (cmd+I) I have a “Picture Style” tab that contains informations about the colour space used in the camera settings. If I convert that NEF files to DNG, the “picture Style” tab has gone … and, with it, the pieces of information that were there. so when converting to DNG with ACR DNG converter why those informations are gone? and how to preserve them?

P: Ability to search presetsOpen for Voting

Hello Adobe Community.I have a request for you or, let's say, a super suggestion. An idea came to me, and i wanted to share it with you because it would be a super convenience for creators who work with photos all the time and are quite busy. My request is that in the Camera Raw section in Photoshop, a window be created where we can search by name for the presets we want to use quickly so that we don't waste time looking for them.I would be very pleased if my request is considered by you, and I would be even happier if in the next update, you could create a window to search for Presets more easily to save our time. Thank you very much.

Custom DCP vs built-in Camera Neutral.

I shoot RAW with a Nikon P1100.Ninety-nine percent of my photos are of birds. I use the latest versions of Adobe Camera RAW and Photoshop to edit the photos on my Windows 11 laptop. I do as much of the work as possible in ACR, mostly with subject masks. I export the highest quality (12) JPGs as the final product.Until recently, I had always used either the Adaptive Color, Adobe Color, or Adobe Standard profiles as an editing base. I just discovered Camera Neutral, which is much better, I assume because it is tuned to my camera model, which ACR detects. I spend a lot of time editing my photos and am very obsessive, as I compare slider changes in increments of one. With this in mind, if I make a custom DCP profile from a color calibration chart, would this make the editing job even easier and allow me to make better JPGs, or would it be a waste of money, since it would not improve on the built-in camera neutral profile?

P: Camera Raw checkbox to remove GPS metadata from output filesOpen for Voting

I often work with RAW files that contain GPS coordinates, but for privacy and wildlife protection reasons I must ensure that exported files (TIFF/JPEG, etc.) do not contain any location data.Right now, I have to export from Camera Raw and then run a separate step with external tools to strip all GPS tags from the output files. This adds friction to the workflow and introduces the risk of accidentally sharing images that still contain GPS metadata.I would love to see a simple checkbox in Adobe Camera Raw, for example:“Remove GPS metadata from output files” (or “Include GPS metadata in output files: On/Off”).When enabled, Camera Raw would strip all GPS tags when writing the exported file, so no GPS data from the RAW source is carried over into the output image.This would make it much easier to produce privacy‑safe files directly from Camera Raw, and would be especially valuable for professional users in wildlife photography, journalism, and other sensitive fields where publishing exact l

P: Camera Raw - Export to SubfolderOpen for Voting

From the Camera Raw export dialog, I’d love to be able to save directly to a subfolder within the image’s original directory. Currently, the only two options are to Save in Current Location or Save in New Location, which defaults to whatever folder was last used for that option. When using “Save in New Location,” if you’re not using that old folder from a previous export, it’s not very convenient to have to sift through folders yet again just to set an export folder. What I’m envisioning is the same or similar treatment as in Lightroom Classic in which a subfolder can be both created and selected. The apps’ teams seem more than capable of doing this as-is, and I’d simply like to see it added to ACR for quick work.

P: Light Tab 2.0 & Updating Effects TabOpen for Voting

Suggestion to make Light and Effects tabs more intuitive, pragmatic and simplified in Camera Raw. Texture, Clarity and Dehaze tools shouldn’t be recognized as effects. These tools are pretty much just another contrast sliders using different algorithms. That is why these tools should be moved to the Light tab.What should be in Effects tab is Vignette, Grain and Lens Blur.Lens Blur as a tab should be removed and moved into Effects tab as a new tool.Effects tab to be dropped to the second tab from the bottom as it would become one of the least used tabs after the update. Masking Menu: In the Masking menu Light tab should be the same as the main menu containing Texture, Clarity and Dehaze. Effects tab to be completely removed. The Grain tool to be moved into Detail tab. Detail tab in Masking menu could be renamed to ‘Details’ because it would contain slightly different tools from the main menu tab called ‘Detail’. It is to avoid confusion and teach users that Detail and Details tabs are

How do I uninstall Camera Raw from Creative Cloud in 2026?

I see solutions for prior versions. I’m trying to uninstall the latest Camera Raw (18.2) because it is supposedly a workaround-fix to allow the prior version of Photoshop to open WEBP images like it did just few days ago. Every solution I have found suggests to click the 3 dots next to Camera Raw in the Creative Cloud desktop app, but those dots do not appear next to Camera Raw. I also could not find the file within the Adobe CC Suite in Finder. I do not have “Bridge” installed either.I went through the trouble of completely uninstalling Photoshop to try and remove Camera Raw, but no luck. Appreciate anyone who can provide factual information with clear steps.Thanks.
