Cannot read tool tips in Photoshop Camera Raw Filter

They show up white text on a yellow background:

Any solutions? Using latest PS in Catalina.

Thx, BarryT

Yeah, it's a bug in ACR, I see the same issue in dark mode but NOT in Photoshop proper. So until fixed, either ingore or don't use Dark Mode.

    Worked for me also. Soon as I went to Light mode, all was fixed.

    Thanks, Frank

    Hi,

    This problem occurred after Photoshop supported macOS dark mode.

    Solution-1. Set the appearance to Light mode in System Preferences.

    or

    Solution-2. Select "File / Open in Camera Raw..." in Bridge.

    There is no problem because Bridge is not yet supported macOS dark mode.

    Unfortunately, Bridge cannot use the Camera Raw filter.

    The problem has been reported and I think it will be fixed in the next release of Photoshop.

      Moved to the Camera Raw forum from the Photoshop forum.

      It only seems to happen if the Apple>System Preferences>General>Appearance is set to Dark or if Auto is using Dark.

       

      Use Light mode and the tool tips are back to normal.

        Same thing happening to me as well.  This is pretty annoying.  At first I thought I was loosing my mind or my eyes.  Hopefully, they get this fixed soon.

        Hi Barry,

        That does not sound good, are you able to read the tool tips in Photoshop?

         

        Also, could you try reinstalling the Camera Raw plugin and let us know if it helps? https://helpx.adobe.com/in/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-in-installer.html

        Regards,
        Sahil

          Thank you for your input.

          - Yes, I can read tool tips in Photoshop (and all other programs)
          - I reinstalled Camera Raw 12.2 this morning without incident
          - Unfortunately the issue with the CR Tool Tips is unchanged: The background is a yellow and the text is white, making the tips basically unreadable.

          Further suggestions would be appreciated.

          Thx,
          BarryT
