ACR Adjustment brush problem

Contributor ,
Feb 10, 2019 Feb 10, 2019

Copied

PS 20.0.2,  Bridge 9.0.2.219,  ACR 11.0.112

MacOS Mojave 10.14.3, with Radeon Pro 750 graphics card (27in iMac late 2017 model)

When I open my raw files from Bridge> Open in CameraRaw >  the Adjustment brush is not visible.

When I open my raw files from Bridge> Open > then the brush is visible

How can I correct this so the brush works when Open in CameraRaw?

(It used to work fine until the latest round of Adobe CC and Mac OS updates)

*And here's the kicker, it's not consistent. Sometimes it does work. And sometimes the brush will quit working after having worked .

But I can't find a pattern to the erratic behaviour!!

Except

As I understand it, the first option opens it directly in Camera Raw, and the second opens the file via Photoshop's CameraRaw filter.

I have tried to turn 'Use Graphics Processor' on and off in the Camera Raw prefs and In PS Prefs>Performance.

I've also changed (tried check & un-check) other settings in PS>Prefs to try and increase performance and solve the problem.

I did find these links but still haven't found the answer -

Optimize performance Photoshop CC

Adobe Camera Raw graphics processor (GPU) FAQ and troubleshooting

Photoshop graphics processor (GPU) card FAQ

Any suggestions appreciated (& thanks to this who may have tried to help last time I posted this.)

Thank you

Hi Frankg,

Sorry to hear that, have you tried reinstalling the Camera Raw plugin and see if it helps:

I just re-installed CameraRaw 11.1

As before (Ive done this more than once) it appears to work.

But then when I reboot the computer its back to square one - no tool visible.

I also just tried again the reset the CameraRaw prefs - no luck.

Also the PS Prefs

This morning (Feb 12) I found an Adobe CC notification that there are updates for PS & Camera Raw (PS 20.0.3 and ACR 11.2) so I have installed them hoping that any corrupt files and/or settings will be corrected.

The first few files Ive opened appear to have the Adjustment brush corrected. I hope it sticks.

I should add that I also removed all login items  (Sys Prefs>User>Logins) in case they were creating an issue

The mystery remains as to why Camera Raw when opened from Bridge directly has the missing/invisible brush, but not the case when opened in PS (Open vs Open in CameraRaw). It is after all the same Camera Raw

I will report back, after a few re-boots if the problem raises it's head again

Thank sto  all who responded
