Hey, @Inspiration29834330urr1. Welcome to the Camera Raw Community. I'll help you figure this out.

Do you see this when you open images via Camera Raw or the filter > Camera Raw? Before anything else, please update Camera Raw & Photoshop to the latest version via the Creative Cloud desktop app and check if the issues exist.

If it does, please share the system info from Photoshop Help > System info > Copy & paste into a text document > upload & attach here.

Try this with Camera Raw:

In Photoshop, press & hold the CTRL + ALT key and go to Edit > Preferences > Camera Raw Preferences and select 'Yes' when prompted to reset Camera Raw preferences.

Let me know how it goes. Thanks!
