Questions

This post applies to Camera Raw.  Feedback for Lightroom Classic and Lightroom Desktop should be posted here.   Update February 2025:Adobe has introduced two Adaptive Profiles – Adaptive Color & Adaptive B&W.   Getting started with the Adaptive Profiles:  Access a profile inside the profile favorites menu.  In addition, there is a new section for Adaptive Profiles in the Profiles browser.  Enable the profile and adjust the ‘Amount’ slider as desired.  Use the rest of the Camera Raw tools just like you would otherwise.  Check out the Help Page for more detailed usage information. For more technical information on the underlying technology, please refer to this blog post.    Please try the profiles and share feedback in this community forum thread. It would help to include details like how you access Camera Raw (via Adobe Bridge or Photoshop), your computer system details, and as much information as poss

On the Mac side, when using the Adobe Photoshop Elements 2026 Editor and the installed Camera Raw 17.3.1 using Help>Install Camera Raw, if you open Camera Raw click on Browse Profiles, then click on any of the available profiles, both Camera Raw and the Photoshop Elements 2026 Editor immediately crash   On the Windows side Camera Raw freezes and has to be forced quit using the Windows Task Manager.        

Bonjour, Depuis la MAJ Windows 15H2 et la MAJ du pilote novembre 2025 de la carte graphique NVIDIA, l'utilisation de la fonction "Paysage " de Camera RAW (bien conçue et très utile) occasionne le "plantage du logiciel et je dois redémarer le PC. Quelle solution pour résoudre ce problème , s'il-vous plaît ? <removed for privacy>

Não esta funcionando o Camera RAW, nessa versão, já instalei ele separado no meu macbook, mas mesmo assim não reconhece nessa versão. 

GPU Accelator IssueEverything was working fine, then out of the blue, I am getting the error “Camera Raw requires GPU accelator to edit photos.” when I try to open Raw files. I am running macOS 12.7.6.  I tried Photoshop 2021 and Photoshop 2024. Apple support said because I can see images in other applications, it’s not a hardware issue but rather a Photoshop issue.Help!  I have a new Mac on order but I need to get a project out the door. Thanks!

my photoshop was Chinese interface, When I use ACR 18.0 , I open the raw pictrue. The first was Chinese,but the second or third always switches to English interface, I must close photoshop,and open photoshop again, open a new pictrue, ACR18.0 was chinese. but alway switches to English interface. Many Chinese users have encountered the same problem as meI don't know why? please help me ,thanksmy computer was windows 10 , Photoshop 2025

I recenlty found when trying to preview any preset by hovering over it with the mouse in Camera Raw it would slow down, be delayed by 5 seconds or sometimes freeze up. If anyone else has noticed this, I suggest unticking the option called "Preview AI Settings On Rollover".It can be found by clicking the three dots icon within the presets panel. After doing this it should be performing much better. It worked for me.

Bonjour, Dans Camera raw voici le message d'erreur que je reçois quand je veux charger l'arrière plan : "impossible de charger le modele de selection par IA" Quelqu'un peut il m'aider? Merci d'avance

OS: MACOS, W10Camera RAW smart filter (PS): 17.5.0.2318PS: 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 fileEXPECTED 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.

I just saw a presentation in the Photoshop Summit 7, where somebody showed the Crop and Expand option in Camera Raw. I do not have that tool and can't find it. I am opening files directly into PS (not from within PS as a layer) by using FILE-OPEN, these are Nikon .NEF raw files and the crop tool does not show any option or check box for crop and expand. See attachment The demo was done in PS 2025 and CR 17.5.1 (2md attachment) - was that option removed? Camera Raw 18, PS 2026 on Win 11

Since the Lightroom update, the Remove tool only works after refreshing. I remove something, edit the next image, go back, and the removal needs to be refreshed. Even when I synchronize images, the removal has to be refreshed every time, and that only works incorrectly. Even removal without AI no longer works properly.

The reflection removal tool in Camera Raw was working beautifully until the last Beta update. Now it takes a minute and does...nothing. I've enabled AI technology previews, reinstalled etc, but nothing seems to make any difference.

I am using a DNG file for the first time in ACR. I have created changes using brush masks in ACR which disappear when I use Open to take the amended DNG into PS. I can find no way of transfering the changes made into. Reopening the DNG in ACR shows the masks and the subsequent changes.I have also used the ACR save function and the resultant image doesn't have my changes. Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug?

Hi everyone. Not a 'Newbie' but neither a 'hot-shot'.Due to my age, I have passed all my Canon 'stuff' to my youngest son. (5D MkIII / 1DX and a bunch of  'L' glass) and have switched to a Sony Alpha 6400 body and a couple of e-fit Sony lenses which are a physical relief! All that said, I still love the Canon 24-105mm f4 L and use it on the Sony with an EF/E-fit adaptor.My question.Is it possible to / how do I  save the lens profiles in the 'Optics / Profile Corrections' area of ACR when using the Canon lenses and having manually selected them them from the drop-down menus.

I have camera-specific presets in Raw Defaults. Those include Denoise being active.   When I load CR3 files into ACR via Bridge, the Denoise box is checked but it has NOT been calculated or applied. If I drag the slider or type into the amount box or uncheck and recheck Denoise, THEN it is calculated and applied.   There is a visible difference once Denoise runs, no .acr file beforehand, and Denoise takes about 45 seconds per image so its pretty obvious. The preset is posted below.   ACR 17.5.0.2318 Intel MacBook Pro w/AMD Radeon Pro 5300M Sequoia 15.6   <x:xmpmeta xmlns:x="adobe:ns:meta/" x:xmptk="Adobe XMP Core 7.0-c000 1.000000, 0000/00/00-00:00:00 "> <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"> <rdf:Description rdf:about="" xmlns:crs="http://ns.adobe.com/camera-raw-settings/1.0/" crs:PresetType="Normal" crs:Cluster="" crs:UUID="D8F6569CF9844FC5A9CA60016B353ED2" crs:SupportsAmount2="True" crs:Suppor

I recently installed Adobe Bridge 2026 on an iMac. It is a new account, I have no previous purchases or installations of Adobe products on this account or this computer. It says Camera Raw is not enabled when I click on Edit in the Bridge tool bar but when I double click on a raw image, it opens in Camera Raw 17.5.1 and the edits are fully functional. How did Camera Raw get there and will it remain? I repeat, I do not have LR or Photoshop or any other Adobe apps. I checked my account, it does not show any purchases or installations other than Bridge. Is it possible Adobe has included Camera Raw on a trial basis, although that wouldn't make any sense as Camera Raw is not stand alone. Confused!   [Moved from the CC Desktop forum by moderator]

I've updated to Bridge 2026 with ACR 18 on MacOS Tahoe 26.0.1 I can adjust images to HDR just fine as in prior versions (Bridge 2025 and ACR 17), but now when exporting in HDR mode it saves the .avif file in SDR instead.  Tried the following:1) Reverted back to Bridge 2025 and ACR 17. Same result.2) Deleted  ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw as per this discussion: https://community.adobe.com/t5/camera-raw-discussions/acr-fails-to-export-avif-hdr-files/td-p/14820248 ; this worked back in 2024 when this bug happened, but not now. Neither in Bridge 2026 nor Bridge 2025 ACR 18. 

The following video is a demo of the CPU usage of the latest version of Adobe Denoise AI on Windows 11. There is something strange in that Adobe Camera Raw runs the CPU in the high +90% for a long time after all the Denoise work is done. If you have ACR Version 17 with Technology Preview enabled, please run a similar test and report if you see the same strange CPU usage. Video at: https://www.arkacy.com/Other/Temp-Upload/n-5RJTN/i-v67pfCT/A Related thread on DPReview: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4784646#forum-post-68019063 Related thread on Adobe Camera Raw Forum: https://community.adobe.com/t5/camera-raw-discussions/p-technology-preview-enhance-denoise-super-resolution-raw-details/td-p/14856090 

I've been looking to test out the new dust removal feature in Camera Raw and couldn't find it. Turns out, the entire "Distraction Removal" section is missing from my Camera Raw app. I've gone into settings and enabled "New AI features" as directed in many instructional guides. Restarted Photoshop, and it's still not present. I even tried downloading the latest Photoshop beta (26.11), and I don't have this section at all. What am I doing wrong? I've screenshot the relevant sections for visual aid. Versions:Photoshop 26.9Windows 11 24H2Snapdragon X Elite PC

This is an update to the previous Mac Radeon GPU bug. Just an FYI, I don't realistically expect a solution from either Apple or Adobe. 16" 2019 Intel MacBook ProAMD Radeon Pro 5300M/4GB16GB system RAMTahoe 26.0.1ACR 18.0.0.2389 I am still seeing the intermittent GPU issues that were first reported in macOS Sonoma, where the ACR document window shows distorted or black images of RAW files. It doesn't happen often, but popped up again yesterday when I had four Canon RAW files (2 CR2, 2 CR3) open. The fix is to restart the computer, presumably this is a memory problem in the GPU. Beyond this, Tahoe and Adobe CC are working as expected without major issues. Performance has not changed appreciably from Ventura->Sonoma->Sequoia->Tahoe or with new CC versions.

Constant error, Windows 10, nvisia 3060TX, all drivers updated, can't use the software, have checked the video card out, appears to be working perfectly.

When using camera raw it starts to slow down after editing a couple of images then finally freezes, after restarting raw and photoshop it;s back to working well, then starts to slow down again.I've reset everything,  I think I've done everything that I've found to be suggested, can you help please?

There is a new masking feature in Adobe Camera Raw 18.0 called depth range. It is only supported if the photo contains depth info. What cameras generate raw files that contain depth information?The depth range is greyed  out for raw files from my Nikon Z7II. Lens blur works.

Photoshop Version: 24.1.1Camera Raw Version: 15.1.1Windows: 10 Home 19044.2486 When you try to use camrea raw filter, it "opens" but the camrea raw filter window does not show. You cant do anything in photoshop and you must press esc a couple times in order to use photoshop again. Reinstalling photoshop, and resetting all settings, including the raw camrea filter settings did not work.  How to replicate bug:1.Open or create any document size or mode.2.Open Camera Raw Filter3. Screen does nothing, you must then press esc to use photoshop.  

The compatibility table does not include the Sony A9(I).It should be compatible, so please include it. @Rikk Flohr: Photography  https://helpx.adobe.com/jp/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
