I have a bunch of HDR photos that I’m saving as AVIFs.  Everything works fine except that if I save them with Color Space “Maximize Compatibility” enabled then I am unable to load these AVIF’s back into ACR without losing all of my HDR grading.  It will load those files back in as basically ungraded SDR images.  Simply clicking the HDR button does not return them to their correct appearance.  All HDR grading is lost.However, if I turn “Maximize Compatibility” OFF then the resulting AVIF files load back into ACR perfectly fine with HDR enabled and all the grading looking exactly how I left it.  My understanding is that Maximize Compatibility simply adds a gain map to the file, but apparently that gain map is confusing ACR when I try to load those files back in.  HDR JPEG Ultra files which also have gain maps, however, do load back into ACR just fine without any issues. This is with whatever version of ACR is current as of July 18, 2026.

Products: Photoshop 27.8.0, Bridge 16.0.5, Adobe Camera Raw 18.4.1.2647Hardware: Mac Mini M4 Pro with 24 GB, Apple Studio Display XDROS: macOS “Tahoe” 26.5.2Symptoms: Frequent kernel panics while editing RAW files from Nikon Z8 and iPhone 16 Pro Max.Sometimes I can work through several files without trouble. Then I load a new file in ACR, make some adjustments, and it crashes. This has happened when touching several different sliders and controls. There is no obvious or repeatable pattern to the panics. I am mostly editing in HDR mode, with working space HDR P3 or Rec. 2020. These are not complex edits - usually just a few moves for exposure, shadows, clarity, cropping, etc.Files are located in local storage (internal SSD of Mac), or external storage (Crucial x9 Pro SSD).Files are opened via Bridge, or directly from Finder.I have tried disabling GPU, purging cache, restarting the Mac, reinstalling Photoshop.Attached is a crash dump. 

I’m using Geometry panel in ACR on everyday basis, but after some latest update it is harder to use again.Why geometry panel is now collapsed by default, when there is no need to save space for other tools?Why do I have to expand panel for every single image?How do I make it expanded by default?Why do you do these nonsense changes, that dont help, Adobe?   

When I updated to the latest Camera Raw 18.4.1, the Denoise AI disappeared and only the original Denoise is there. When checking why this is what is suggestedEnable Technology Previews:In Photoshop: Go to Photoshop > Settings > Technology Previews (Mac) or Edit > Preferences > Technology Previews (Windows). Check the box for "New AI features and settings panel". Restart Photoshop or Bridge. That box containing New AI features doesn’t appear in either Photoshop or Camera Raw settings in Bridge. Can someone tell me where to find and fix this problem?

Ich habe die Grafikkarte Intel Arc B 850 Graphics (32.0.101.8861) - 12 GB. Sowohl bei Lightroom als auch bei Lightroom Classic funktioniert alles. In beiden Programmen erhalte ich unter Voreinstellungen - Leistung den Hinweis: Dein System unterstützt automatisch die volle Beschleunigung. Grafikprozessor verwenden steht auf AUTOMATISCH. Hier könnte ich noch AUS und BENUTZERDEFINIERT auswählen.Bei Bridge und bei Photoshop  steht unter Voreinstellungen -- Camera Raw - Leistungen - Grafikprozessor verwenden auf AUS. ich habe keine Möglichkeit, den Eintrag zu ändern. 

In the latest Camera Raw on Windows (for me, 18.4.1) - the Constrain Crop check box in the Geometry panel has disappeared. Where did it go? 

Hi,After updating to Camera Raw 18.4.1, GPU acceleration stopped working.I'm using:Photoshop 27.8.0 Camera Raw 18.4.1 Windows 10 22H2 Intel UHD Graphics 620Everything was working fine before the update.Now Camera Raw shows: "Camera Raw graphics acceleration is not supported by your system." The Use Graphics Processor option is locked to Off.I already tried:Updating the Intel graphics driver. Resetting Camera Raw GPU settings. Recreating the CameraRaw and GPU folders. Reinstalling Camera Raw.Nothing helped.Has anyone experienced the same issue after updating to 18.4.1?Thanks! 

MacOS, ACR 18.4.1In the previous versions of ACR _before_ the new AI Expand tool, I could scroll up and down images on the left hand side gallery while in the “Crop and Expand” tab (just like in all the other tabs like in “Edit”, “Remove”, etc.) with arrow up and arrow down on the keyboard.Now it’s not the case anymore.  I can’t scroll ONLY in “Crop and Expand.”  My guess is that the addition of AI Expand has broken or disabled the arrow key scroll feature.  Please fix.  Thanks.

On Camera Raw, the file looks perfect, but once it’s in PS it’s horrible. The transition from shadows to highlights is completely pixelated. How can this be fixed??

With the introduction of Ananmorphic lens adjustments, the panel has been redesigned/reordered yet again. I have not and will not ever use anamorphic lenses and I have to now retrain my brain where the Geometry area is. Even if I could move the anamorphic options, that would be great, but I can’t. In a perfect world I’d hide them completely because they’re useless to me. Moving the cursor a little farther on screen isn’t the end of the world but with as much time as I spend doing the same thing, it’s annoying as hell to have it change all of the sudden for a feature I don’t need and cannot hide.

When I crop an image and finish with it the new crop does not fill the screen. Its stays the same size and just removes all the pixels outside the crop. In previous versions when I would confirm the crop with the enter key it with bring the new images to fit in view. Its is frustrating that I have one more button to click now every time I crop and every time and slightly adjust the crop.Im using ACR 18.4 on a 2024 M4 Mac Mini

Hey!I would love to be able to edit the 4:2:2 HEIF photos from my new Sony A7Siii. Lightroom mobile cannot see them in the camera roll or import them in any way.    Thanks.  {Moved from Lightroom Cloud to Lightroom Mobile Forum by Moderator} 

Beginning with Camera Raw 18.3.1 the window keeps shrinking every time Camera Raw is launched from Photoshop.I’m using Windows 10 on two different computers.Prior behavior kept the same window size upon every launch of the software.

In camera raw you can highlight and removed ares and all seems to be OK . When finished and you touch “done” all of the areas reappear in the finished image. If you reopen in RAW all removed areas disappear again but when the you touch “done” again the same happens and all areas reappear.This problem is for me showstopper and all photo processing has stopped until I can get this fixed

Hi,Camera Raw 18.4 includes improved subject selection for masking. On my system, Masking > Select Subject works normally even when I disable the Internet connection.However, after publishing a video about the update, two users on my YouTube channel reported that, since Camera Raw 18.4, they cannot use Select Subject unless they are connected to the Internet.Is Camera Raw 18.4 supposed to run Select Subject locally, or can it require cloud processing depending on some setting, host application, license status, GPU/model availability, or other condition?I’m trying to determine whether these reports describe expected behavior, a configuration/licensing issue, or a possible bug.Thanks.

In Camera Raw the remove tool highlights areas to be removed then appears to remove the areas OK. However when you key Done the areas reappear. If you open the image in Camera Raw the previously highlighted areas are removed again.All of the Remove functions are effected meaning the entire feature doesn't work which for my work is a showstopper

Remove reflections does absolutely nothing in LR Classic and Camera Raw in Photoshop. Have tried all fixes suggested on Adobe website. Both were recently updated to latest versions. 

Camera Raw 18.4 gives an error in "lens blur". I shot Raw 18.2 and everything was perfect.

Test for Base.ai integration

When I go to create a linear gradient or a radial gradient mask, I cannot adjust either of them after my first initial placement. Almost out of nowhere it just stopped being available, but it was definitely right after I restarted and updated both my computer and Camera Raw itself. 

Once installed the 18.4, immediately started experiencing a memory leak again, whenever use Subject Selection. This bug disappeared a while ago, am not sure since when, but for the last ~half a year I definitely did not have this problem. Now it’s back, perhaps with the new subject selection model? How/where do I download an early 18 version? Thanks.

When entering Crop mode, the system stutters slightly and the image is no longer zoomed out.Previously when entering the crop mode, the image would slightly zoom out and you could rotate the crop quickly from the side of the image (Landscape) top or bottom for (Portrait orientation).Since the update, the image is no longer zoomed out making it not possible to quickly get the rotation cursor on the sides (Landscape orientation) or top/bottom for (Portrait orientation).I’m also noticing there is a short stutter when entering Crop mode,which didn’t exist before the recent Camera Raw Update.I’m using Camera Raw 18.4.0.2608 in Bridge 16.03.21
