Good afternoon,
I always use Adobe Camera Raw to edit my photos, but when I use masks, Camera Raw is so slow that it is no longer usable.
For example, if I open 30 photos in ACR and edit them, it is really really very fast.
But if I use a mask even once, ACR becomes so extremely sluggish and slow that it can no longer be used.
I then have to close everything and then it works quickly again, until I use masks again.
It gets slow if I click on masking just once.
I have a Windows 11 PC with Intel I9 13900k processor - 64Gb RAM - NVIDIA RTX 4070
Who knows the solution?

What kind of mask, with what settings? Please share an example of a raw and sidecar files so I can test this. What operations, specifically, get slow? How long do the slow operations take?
Are you sure GPU acceleration is enabled on your PC?
Thanks,
David

GPU acceleration is enabled.
It doesn't matter what kind of mask or RAW file I open, as soon as I make even 1 simple mask (select sky/use brush), my entire computer slows down.
This is mainly because the "adobe" and "system" processes in Windows 11 suddenly use a lot of CPU.
So it really only happens when I go to the masking section in Adobe Camera Raw, if I don't go there everything works very fast and there is no high CPU consumption.
I don't dare to use masks now, because I have to restart my computer to be able to edit photos fast again.
(I am a full-time photographer and edit hundreds of photos per week)
