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

Need a toggle setting or bug fix to restore the classic auto-fit behavior. Panorama Exposure Blending Issue: Panorama stitching for individual shots taken on iPhone 17 Pro produces uneven, erratic exposure gradients (extreme highlight/shadow patches). Provided Environment: Windows 10 / AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D / RTX 4070 Ti / 64GB RAM. Detailed Feedback Content1. Regression in Crop Tool Behavior (Post-v18.3.2) Up to Adobe Camera Raw v18.3.2, cropping an image would automatically adjust and fit the newly cropped frame to the view screen (Auto-Fit Canvas). In versions newer than v18.3.2, after applying or adjusting a crop, the canvas display remains frozen at its current zoom level/position instead of auto-adjus

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

Camera Raw 18.6 – Local Mask Sharpening/NR values become incorrectly shared between saved ISO presetsI believe I have found a reproducible bug in Adobe Camera Raw when used directly through Photoshop.Environment Photoshop 27.10 Adobe Camera Raw 18.6 Testing performed directly through Photoshop → Camera Raw, not through Bridge or Lightroom. Important troubleshooting already performedI purged the Camera Raw cache and deleted relevant .xmp files between tests as necessary, so I was starting each test from as clean a state as practical. The problem remained reproducible.Reproduction Create an ISO 1600 LNR+MASK preset with: Local Background Mask Sharpening = −10 Local Background Mask Noise Reduction = 40 Test the ISO 1600 preset on multiple different ISO 1600 photos. All photos correctly receive −10 / 40. Create a second ISO 3200 LNR+MASK preset with: Local Background Mask Sharpening = −20 Local Background Mask Noise Reduction = 60 Test the ISO 3200 preset on

Hello Adobe Team,I have found a reproducible issue with Camera Raw 18.x.System configuration:Windows 10 Pro 64-bit Adobe Photoshop 27.8 (official Creative Cloud version) Camera Raw  18.4.1 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (latest Studio and Game Ready drivers tested) Intel Core i7-8700K 32 GB RAMIssue:Simply opening the Presets panel in Camera Raw causes the following error:"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."After this message appears, Camera Raw becomes unstable and continues to display the same error until Photoshop is restarted.Important findings:Camera Raw 17.5 works perfectly on the same computer. Camera Raw 18.0, 18.3, 18.4, and 18.4.1 all reproduce the problem. Lightroom Classic works perfectly with the same RAW files and the same presets. The problem occurs only in Camera Raw Filter inside Photoshop. The error appears simply by opening the Presets panel. In many

Since a few versions (18.x) DNG Converter started to not only convert my raw files, but accompanying JPEGs as well. That is not the described and expected behaviour and is somewhat annoying, because now I need to mv my raw files to a separate folder before converting and then move the results back.Since my JPEGs have a different pixel resolution than the raw files, and also from the file size, I can clearly see which DNGs derive from which source. Obviously, the JPEG is converted first and gets the basename from that. Then the raw files is converted—as expected—and gets an additional `_1` added to the basename.I have not found any setting to control this behaviour.I use Olympus cameras.DNG Converter 18.5.0.2673macOS 26.6.1, Apple silicon

I want to convert a folder full of HEIC files to JPEG and I was hoping Bridge could do this as a batch process.I am getting the following error message in Bridge (which spawns Photoshop CC in the process) when I try to open an HEIC image file:"Photoshop Camera Raw does not support HEIC files on windows". The Adobe Help page titled HEIC and HEVC media files support in Lightroom and Camera Raw says:"In the Camera Raw Preferences dialog box, ensure that the JPEG/HEIC field is set to either Automatically open JPEGs and HEICs with settings or Automatically open all supported JPEGs and HEICs. To access Camera Raw Preferences, click the Open Preferences Dialog button  in the Camera Raw dialog box." Whether from Bridge or PS I do not see the above text in my Camera Raw Preferences dialog box even though I just updated LR Classic CC, PS CC 2019 and Camera Raw this morning.

It seems like selection zoom has been removed entirely. I mean, seriously? Whose bright idea was this? I HATE scrubby zoom, and don't want to be forced to use it.

This is the kind of message I get from version 18.4.1 to version 18.5.0 when I launch the module from Photoshop.

Every time I try to edit raw NEF files from my Nikon camera, camera raw feels unusable.

I have a 100 year old photo that was oil painted and framed in an oval with bowed glass. I tried very hard to light it without having a reflection of the light in the photo, but because the glass is bowed, I still had some reflections. The distraction remove tool, even at Best quality, doesn’t seem to do much. Honestly, I can’t see any significant different between before and after. Before distraction removalAfter distraction removal at BestYes, I realize the image is dark, but I thought I would brighten it after removing the glare. Any ideas? Is this tool not going to work on bowed glass? 

In the latest Camera Raw update, it stopped accessing graphics acceleration, and I can't activate it.My setup:Windows 11NVidia RTX 5070 Ti 16 GBI've tried absolutely everything: cleaning the card driver and reinstalling it, adding .old to the folders, resetting the graphics card, etc., and finally contacting Adobe technical support... who started by saying that the card was "old" and not suitable for Camera Raw... Adobe, if that's the case, please indicate it on your website, because supposedly my card is suitable (and if it isn't, few people will be able to continue using Adobe products). Lightroom handles everything without a problem, and the other programs that require GPU resources do too (Da Vinci, Topaz, etc.). After saying this, the card is suitable; the problem is with Windows. I honestly don't think so; it seems like a bug in Camera Raw. That's the only thing that has problems. I don't know, maybe it's a credentials issue or something.I'm mentioning this because I think it's a
