Camera Raw freezes and crashes my computer (using iMac)

Also having same issue. Not running Mac. Using windows 10. Bestbuy said the computer i just purchased has everything to support Adobe programs. Except Raw locks up and only thing I can do is force stop and shut down.  I had to convert all my images to jpeg just to be able to edit.  Whats the point of shooting in Raw if I can't use the program. I'm thinking of dropping my subscription and using something else. GIMP is comparable I guess. 

I'm having the same problem each time I'm using Adobe Camera Raw lates edition. So frustrating and time consuming. I would appreciate some help thanks.

Had the same problem.  Here's the solution: Downgrade the plugin to 12.4

I found the solution on a similar thread. You need to use an older version of the camera raw plug-in. By downloading and installing the previous version of camera raw, adobe Photoshop will automatically incorporate the most recently downloaded version, and should work fine.

Was there a fix for this? Older version of plugin?

Same problem

Congratulations Adobe, first of all you ruined Camera Raw last year and now you've made it unusable

Same issue. Mac Mojave 10.14.6 latest and Photoshop 22.2.0.

When using Camer RAW as an effect on a layer, some adjustments trigger a MAC screen freeze. Nothing in Photoshop or the MAC GUI responds. Can't switch apps or force-quit with keyboard or mouse. Have to power cyle and reboot. It's 100% repeatable.

I'be tried purging Camera RAW cache and bumping the size up from 5GB to 50GB. No apparent difference.

Was happening with two previous version. Still happening with today's update.

This is a big issue, because it essentially prevents using ACR as an effect. The cost of the failure - reboot and data loss (if you did not just save) is too high.

Spent hours on phone with Adobe with them telling me it was my iMac and probably my graphics card.  Phoned Apple and spent hours on phone and finally took imac in to find out Apple had no blame in this.  Adobe cannot keep up with Apple.  And if adobe wants to stay competitive, they need to keep up.  Nothing was wrong with my graphics card (this just goes to show how inexperienced support is).  Spent 2 days out of commission trying to fix something that was clearly Adobe's problem with their inability to keep up with updates.  Apple had to erase hard drive and I had to go back to Catalina for Adobe to work propertly.  I should not have to go thru this and spend 2 days out of commission and unable to service my clients.  It's very frustrating.  My computer is finally working but I have little faith in Adobe considering what they put me thru to get to the answer to solve my issue.  Good luck and hopefully you will have better luck than I did with Adobe's "experts".

I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE!  So SOOOO FRUSTRATING!  I can't seem to find a solution.  Whenever I open RAW images fro Bridge to Camera RAW, the circle keeps circling and then my imac crashes and reboots.  What is the deal????  HELP!  I HAVE A JOB TO GET OUT.
