Question

Camera Raw takes a long time to open in Photoshop

Hi

I have a problem with photoshop and camera raw on my Laptop.
When i am in photoshop and want to open a picture in Camera Raw it takes more than 10 seconds to

open it. If I then want to reopen it in photoshop it takes too long.

When doing the same thing from a stand alone Bridge it opens almost directly in Camera Raw.

If I then want to open it in Photoshop, it takes a long time.

It has been working before and I dont know if the large update of photoshop has anything to to with it

What is the differenc between the way PS communicate with Camera Raw end the way Bridge does?

I dont know if it is relevant but I have the same programs in my PC and there it is working.

I have the same preferences in the PC asin the Laptop

I have Photoshop 2022 23.11, Camera Raw 14.1.0.993 and Bridge 12.0.1.246.

 

regards Nils Elsner

I have the same problem although my PC has more than enough specs to handle both the Photoshop and CaptureOne workflow I'm working for the last 4 years. Looking to find a solution too.

It is inccredibile slow transportation, the PC has still not reached the service workshop!
I have also checked under help in PS that the GPU is compatible with PS- CC.
So i will be back as soon as I know more

Hi again

At last i got the PC back from repair. They have changed the heatsink so now the temperature is ok.

But, of course, it did not solve the CR-problem. I started from the beginning and loaded PS version 22.5.6
and it is working. When I update it to  the latest 23.2  I have the problem. I have reset the preferences without 

success. The problem goes two ways, when i try to open in CR and when I try to open it in PS form CR.
Could it be the RAM. I have 8Gb installed but only 6 available. But in the preferences it gives a recommended

value of 3,5. But on the other hand Bridge should not be working ok if the memory is too small.

I was also thinking that the GPU is too slow or something. But he effextfilters are working and also that

Phososhop says that the version I have should be enough.

So now I have run out off ideas. Anyone who figure this out ??

 

regards Nils

Thanks for your suggestion.

 However I discovered the PS made the temperature of the PC to go up over 90%, this in
combination with loading the PC,so I did send it infor service.
They changed the fan and did reset it. That didnt help so I have sent it to them again

and now I am wating to se what they come up with.
The support said something about changing the GPU?

So both Bridge and Photoshop can host ACR (even at the same time but I digress). This indicates there is something in Photoshop alone that impedes ACR from rendering the image as quickly. You might try resetting the ACR prefs or even Photoshops, or examine the GPU settings to see if you can get PS closer to Bridge's hosted preformance.

To Reset of 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?"

Thanks for your answer but unfortunately it did not help. I have examined every preference

in PS and Bridge. I have also tried to change the GPU but there is not much to change in

the Nvidia settings. Also thanks for the link that explains the different ways to open CR,

I learned somthing from that.

Just saw this comment. My suggestion wasn't to mess around there but in Photoshop's preferences. Turn OFF GPU there. Does this make any difference? This might explain too why you see a difference when ACR is hosted by Bridge vs. Photoshop.
