OS: MACOS, W10

Camera RAW smart filter (PS): 17.5.0.2318

PS: 26.11.0

 

STEP TO REPRODUCE:

I copy a camera raw smart filter with subject masks in it to a new file (to copy editings from a file to another),

ACTUAL RESULT:

when I try to create new mask for the new subject to apply the edits, it always recreate the old masks from the source file

EXPECTED RESULT:

when I try to create new mask for the new subject to apply the edits, it generate a new mask based on the actual layer where the filter has been applied

 

source file

 

target file

 

This is very annoying as it slows my workflow. Can you fix it as it was in the old PS version? TY.

You list your current version of Camera Raw as 17.5.0.2318 - the current version is 18.x. Bugs are not accepted for out-of-date versions.

I updated CRAW to the latest version and the bug is still there.

I followed the template bug discussion, and I do believe this is a real bug, because the older version of PS does not have it, so please can you move it to the bus section?
