Hi all,

Today, 15th March 2026, Creative cloud shows an update available for camera raw to 18.2.3. After updating camera raw is still showing as 18.2.2.2512. I restarted my PC (win 10) but 18.3 still not showing. Thanks in advance.

    Apparently I got the 18.2.3 update installed yesterday. I don’t think the API is still returning that version as available anymore though. They might have pulled the update for some reason. They did that with a buggy version of Premiere recently.

     

    Perhaps your Creative Cloud Desktop app had fetched the update list while it was still available, but they pulled it in the time between when you went to install it. Then maybe it just fell back to reinstalling whatever was the latest version.

     

    Assuming that’s what happened it wouldn’t have been live for more than a day or so. I have a project that tracks release versions once a day and it didn’t catch 18.2.3

    Yeah, same here.

     

    The CC app claims new camera support, but the ACR “supported cameras” page doesn’t have any new listings past 18.2.2.

     

    We have seen some instances of such ghost updates in the past - usually as an update to the same version that is already installed. I just run them and move on, just to get them out of the way, although nothing really changes.

    I see the same on Mac | Ps 27.4.0. I seem to recall similar “inconsistencies” in the past years.
