Question

Camera RAW 18.3.1.2580. Depth range masks do not work properly (GPU error message)

On selected Windows configurations, the use of depth range masks, especially in conjunction with using them in presets, causes error messages that do not occur when using other mask types.

When you hover over a preset containing a depth range mask, an error message appears saying that the GPU produced an error and has been deactivated due to the error.

Sample configuration:

  • Camera RAW 18.3.1.2580
  • Windows 11
  • NVIDIA GTX 1050 with 4 GB VRAM

For Mac, everything works fine. In Windows, there seems to be the need for some code optimization. Does anyone know when this can be fixed?

    Hey, @Kreativstudio Kaplun. I'll help you figure this out. Please share the system info from Photoshop Help > System info > Copy & paste into a text document > upload & attach here.

     

    Press and hold the CTRL + ALT key in Photoshop. Then, go to Edit in the main menu > Preferences > Camera Raw Preferences, and select 'Yes' when prompted to reset Camera Raw preferences.


    The NVIDIA GTX 1050 (2016) may not be enough to keep up with Camera Raw's newer features, such as Lens Blur & Depth Masks. You can check for any available driver updates from Nvidia. After you update the GPU drivers, try the steps below and check how it goes.

    The GPU info & Logs location on Windows is %APPDATA%\Adobe\CameraRaw. A shortcut to get to this folder on Windows is:

    • Press the Windows + R

    • Enter %APPDATA%\Adobe\CameraRaw 

    • Rename the GPU & Logs folder in this directory by adding .old at the end. (GPU.old & Logs.old)

    • Relaunch Photoshop.

    • Head here to see more manual ways to troubleshoot this: https://adobe.ly/3RsinkG


    Let me know how it goes. Thanks!
