Question

Slow Loading NEF files

Blows my mind how much of a pain this now is and has been for quite some time now. Can't say if this applies solely to 14.3 or if it goes back farther; since I've been dealing more with videos over the past couple years or so. 

But Jeez!

I've a very powerful PC with RTX 3070ti / 64 GB Ram / Ryzen 5950x and fast SD drives. YET, this crap blows.

Takes 29 seconds to open up a (nikon) NEF file or (panasonic) RW2 file. 
If I hit cancel thereafter? Another 9 seconds wasted. Pathetic.

 

I've tried numerous different approaches and it's always the same. Mind numblingly frustrating.

Spoke too soon. 

I see now, hours later, that the quirkiness is back. Fleeting yet still annoying. 

But speed of opening has remained improved.

are you still getting this: "Some AI masks are missing and need to be updated" ?  I've been having issues with that and I believe it's what slowing down the opening of my RAW files.  I'm working with Adobe Support on it but they're trying to blame it on my Topaz plugins despite the fact that my husband is having the very same issue and he has no plugins installed at all.

Yes, I am.
'and do you get that white (Camera Raw?) dialog box after? Each time you either choose to be done or cancel your editing within Camera Raw.

 

It's all annoying. 

 

Mind you, I too have Topaz plugins and refuse to remove them to start over and test since it was such a huge pain getting my plugins working in the first place. 

MAYBE one day when I'm in the mood and I've the time then I'll try that. 

 

Also, this all happens regardless of whether I'm opening a raw file or opening up Camera Raw during my work on any image.

Try resetting your ACR preferences, better? 

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 the feedback. 

Opening still takes just as long.

Althouh, hitting cancel does now close it out immediately (as it should be). Also, there's no quirkiness now. Previously I'd get some odd screen or two related to Camera Raw. 

Also, I'm still getting (which I didn't mention previously) this little dialogue box stating: 

"Some AI masks are missing and need to be updated"
