P: CR/Lr select subject not working properly

This bug is a known behaviour of "Select subject tool" in Camera Raw module under Rosetta-started-application for couple of months already, now up to version 14.4. 
You will ALWAYS get corrupted "Select subject" mask WHEN your hosting application (Bridge, Photoshop. Lightroom) will be launched in Rosetta mode.
If you are launching Camera Raw from Bridge, you are out of luck, Bridge IS STILL NOT Apple silicon native.

When you are starting Camera Raw from Photoshop or Lightroom, make sure you are NOT starting under Rosetta, and everything will be fine.

You might want to start Photoshop in Rosetta mode in case you still want to use legacy Filter/Plugins, which are not Apple silicon optimised, like for example in my case Anthropics Portrait Studio Pro, or Flaming Pear Software Flexify 2.
If you start host application natively, you will not see this legacy plugins anymore in the menus, they will not load. Then - If you start Camera Raw module, your "Select subject mask" will be corrupted.

Photoshop runs natively since March 2021, dear Adobe, could you please finally deliver Apple Silicon native Bridge as well?

Or - at least - fix this "Select subject" bug in Camera Raw called from Rosetta started applications. 

Many of us batch process files with Bridge, without need to import and catalogue everything, and all the edits will be saved in .XMP sidecar files. 

And no, opening files in Photoshop is not a solution, because you have to save copy of your edits in a another heavy separate Photoshop file, if you want to keep non destructive edits like in RAW+XMP tandem.

You're right! I had "open using Rosetta" in the info panel checked. That resulted in LRC selecting everything of other things and never the subject.

I unchecked the box and voila...LRC seems to mask as designed.

Thanks,

Since installation of LRC 11.4 have been unable to auto mask subjects (mask>subject).

When trying, masking takes place haphazardly throughout image regardless of image type. e.g. JPG, RAW, PNG, etc.

When trying to invert, the entire image is overlayed with the mask.

This is before any adjustments are attempted, e.g. exposure, contrast, etc.

Have contacted Adobe tech support and they have witness the problem (through screen share) but are unable to provide solution...as of yet.

This anomoly also takes place in PS Camera Raw.

Have uninstalled and reinstalled apps several times with no resultant corrections.

Note that the other masking functions (spherical, linear gradient, color range, luminance range and brush (including add/subtract on applied masks) appear to operate normally.

Any ideas out there? Is anyone else experiencing this problem, especially with M1 Max chip set(s)

System specs: Mac Studio M1 Max chipset, LRC 11.4, MacOS 12.4, Camera Raw 14.4.0.1121

Same experience here. Whe ACR module used under non M1 Bridge, masking does not work.

I just checked your DNG image and can confirm that the issue you see is the same as I reported previously.

I reported a 'Subject' mask bug elsewhere for LrC, LrD and ACR when using Rosetta emulation mode.  If you're using Camera Raw via Adobe Bridge, then it's running in emulation mode since Bridge is still not yet M1 native. The workaround until  the Bridge team get their 'backsides' into gear is to use ACR from within Photoshop. 

There are no settings for “accuracy” and it's odd LR is fine, not the same. This is an M1?

Perhaps it's a GPU issue and you can play around with setting it in preferences; worth a try.

If you could export a DNG with a mask in both products and upload via something like Dropbox, we could examine both masks from each product. That be useful.
