Camera Raw Filter darkening image automatically

Question

I'm not sure if I'm asking this in the right place. Today, out of nowhere, when I open an image in the Photoshop Raw Filter, it immediatly crushes the blacks in the image. I use this filter every day on pretty much every image I edit and I've never had this problem. Does anyone have an idea on what to do?
The compression on this screenshot may make it too subtle to see here but the top image you can see into the shadows and the bottom one the blacks are completely crushed. This happens in Photoshop 2021 and 2023. Image is a 300dpi JPG that was first edited in LR.

To be clear, you're using ACR as a FILTER on an existing rendered image, not the plug-in to render raws? You may want to look here as your issue and this user may be the same, but we need a lot more data:https://community.adobe.com/t5/camera-raw-discussions/dark-images-in-acr/td-p/13355135What you might try is resetting the Camera Raw preferences:Hold down the Command key and select Photoshop > Preferences > Camera Raw (macOS) or hold down the Ctrl key and select Edit > Preferences > Camera Raw (Windows).Click Yes in the dialog that asks "Delete the Camera Raw Preferences?"See also:https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/using/camera-raw-settings.html
