P: Camera-Matching Profiles: Requests and information

Camera-matching Profiles are applicable to Camera Raw, Lightroom Classic, and the Lightroom Ecosystem products (Desktop, Mobile, and Web).Note: Not all cameras will receive camera-matching profiles.   This thread is a place to request missing camera-matching profiles for specific models. Please include a complete camera model designation and a list of the specific camera-matching profiles you are requesting in your request. If your camera is already listed in this thread, please reply to the specific camera’s post rather than just posting in-line.   Camera-matching profiles are provided for some camera manufacturers and models. As raw support is added for individual camera models, camera-matching profiles for some cameras may be added when raw support is initially offered.  Other cameras may see camera-matching profiles added at a later date. It is also possible that a specific camera may see a long delay or perhaps not ever receive a specific camera-matching p

P: Do I post in Discussions or Bugs?

When presented with a New Post screen in the Adobe Community, you are given three options for Conversation Type: Discussion, Bug, and Idea.   If you were searching in Discussions, the New Post window will default to Discussions. If you are searching in Bugs, the New Post window will default to Bugs and likewise for Ideas.   Many customers instinctually report problems they are experiencing as “Bugs”. It is natural to think that a problem you are having might be a bug. A bug is defined, for our purposes, as “something in the software that is not functioning as it was designed to function”. Interpreting whether a behavior is a bug or not is not always easy, however. Here are some reasons why you might want to consider posting first to Discussions rather than jumping straight to reporting in Bugs: Most items reported as Bugs are not actual bugs. In a typical group of reported bugs, only about 3 out of 25* bugs reported turn out to be actual bugs.  Of those, typically 2 ou

P: How do I write a feature request?Open for Voting

Adobe is excited to receive requests for additional features you need to enhance your workflow.   What can you do to increase the chances of being heard?  Don't use the words "Feature Request" in your post's title. Search for and add to existing feature requests rather than creating duplicates. There is no advantage to creating a second request for any existing feature request.  One request per thread!When creating an Idea or Feature Request thread, please keep requests for features to ONE request per thread. Doing this will allow others to vote on a single, specific feature and not confuse Upvotes amongst a list of feature requests. If an Idea thread has multiple requests in it, a moderator may ask you to split the multiple requests up into multiple threads so others can vote. In the event there remain multiple requests on a thread, the first item requested will be the arbiter of where the thread will be cross-referenced or merged. Describe how the featu

P: How do I write a bug report?

Bugs should only be reported for the latest or current version of Camera Raw. If you believe you have a bug it must be verified on the latest version of Camera Raw. New bug reports will not be accepted for older versions of the software.  If you believe you have encountered a bug, it is important to first search the existing bugs to see if your issue and a possible solution or workaround have already been reported. If so, please add to that thread. If not, it may be prudent to start a new thread.Greater than 90% of the bugs reported are not actually bugs. Before starting a new thread, please read:P: Do I post in Discussions or Bugs?   When logging a new bug report, it's required by the Camera Raw team for the information in the report to include steps to reproduce the bug experience. Once we can reproduce an issue, then we can start to investigate a fix. Bug reports without reproduction steps will be moved to discussions.If, after some troubleshooting, we find

P: Generative Remove Feedback (Camera Raw)

This post applies to Camera Raw. Lightroom Classic and Lightroom Ecosystem feedback can be found here. Previous Early Access Feedback can be found here.   Generative Remove makes it easier to remove unwanted objects and distractions with a simple gesture, even on complex backgrounds. For more accurate results, be sure to include the object's shadow in your selection and/or expand its size.    Detect Objects uses AI to find the objects underneath a brushed area. The masked areas will now appear larger than the Early Access version of this feature. You can also circle objects for quicker selection now.    We have also updated the spot selection experience to make it easier to manage variations, switch the fill type, refine the selection area, or re-generate as needed.    Batch updating is also now supported for Generative Remove spots. As Generative AI analyzes portions of the image that have been cropped out, Camera Raw has the ability to tog

P: Reflection Removal feedback (CR & LrClassic)

This post applies to Adobe Camera Raw plug-in.     Adobe Camera Raw team is sharing an early look of our new Reflection Removal feature, which removes reflections caused by plate glass surfaces from photos.    Note:  The feature currently only works on raw photos. Support for JPEGs & HEICs is added in the April 24 Update. There is a known issue on some Windows machines where the feature may produce a corrupt image. We are working on a fix for the upcoming release.    Check out HelpX for more detailed usage information. For more technical information on the underlying technology, please refer to this Blog post.    Getting started with the Reflection Removal feature:  Make sure you have the “New AI Features and Settings Panel” Technology Preview enabled in the Camera Raw plug-in Preferences dialog (requires restarting the host application to activate).  Go to the Remove panel [B] , and in the “Distraction Re

P: Camera Raw adjustments in context of other layersIn Development

currently when you use the amazing camera raw on a layer, it opens a separate interface which is great, but... alas, if you are in need of color matching you are facing a problem because you can't see the color correction in the composite psd document until you close camera raw.if camera raw could be applied in both windows or have a view of the composite in camera raw as one of the views at the bottom this would be amazing. (btw, spliting the views with a way to actually move the split vertically or horizontally and not the layer would be nice)if you want an example this is same as a color correction is applied to layers as an effect in after effects.

Erx: A.I. sharpening for ACROpen for Voting

Please add A.I. based sharpening. And I don´t mean Topaz, but an algorithm, which is developed by Adobe and thus .…- doesn´t have a file size limitation- runs locally on GPU- doesn´t create a DNG- you can still continue raw editing- just works like Adobe´s ACR denoisingACR´s current - and decades old - sharpening just isn´t even close to A.I. based sharpening and doesn´t do anything against motion blur.ACR´s denoising works extremely well and I´m sure, Adobe can achieve the same level of quality with an A.I. based sharpening.

Camera Raw (18.3.0.2528) Freeze when using graphic processor

Hello, I started editing with photoshop after a 4 months pause and I found this unpleasant bug.When using Camera Raw on a Windows 11 PC with AMD Ryzen 9950x CPU, RTX 4070ti Super GPU and x870 Chipset Camera Raw freezes the pc while rendering the raw files. In order to troubleshoot the problem I freshly formatted the computer and started fresh with a updated windows 11 pro and stock bios settings (no overclock) latest nvidia studio drivers v596.36 and nvidia app v11.0.7.247. All programs are latest version. Bridge is v16.0.3.21 and ACR is v18.3.0.2528How to replicate the issue When editing RAW files coming from my Canon R6MKII ACR behaves sluggish. Modifiing sliders induces lags. I usually open 20 pictures at the time and the more the picture I edit the heavier the problem gets. After around 10 pictures are edited hard freeze happens - it’s impossibile to run task manager or to move the mouse - keystrokes are accumulated in the buffer. Usually thereafter the freeze resolves itself after

DNG Converter unusable

In order to optimize storage space I convert pictures from NEF to DNG. Unfortunately the Adobe DNG Converter is almost unusable. The software works fine on older PCs with four core processors. On my newer PC with 8 cores and 16 threads it is impossible to use. It seems like a memory problem. Sometimes it works but most of the time it renders the whole PC unusable, often crashes Windoes Explorer. Even restarts won’t solve the tangled up DNG Converter. Frustrating.

Camera RAW "There was an unexpected error and your request could not be completed.”

I’m reaching out to the community for assistance with an issue in Adobe Camera Raw that keeps recurring.Quite often, when I attempt to create a mask, I receive the following error message:“There was an unexpected error and your request could not be completed.”Immediately afterwards, a second message appears:“The graphics processor has encountered an unrecoverable error. Due to a run‑time error, GPU acceleration has been disabled for the remainder of the session.”This behaviour is now happening frequently, and it interrupts my workflow every time masking is required. If anyone could point me toward reliable guidance, known fixes, or relevant Adobe documentation, I would be very grateful.Thank you in advance for your support.

P: ML / AI Based Defringe in Camera RawOpen for Voting

I wold like an ML/ AI based automatic 'defringe' tool in Camera Raw / Lightroom to remove corner chromatic aberration reliably and easily. Please consider developing an ML tool that preserves local color while identifying and removing fringing that occurs on high-contrast edges and especially in image corners. The existing tools and procedures for this in Camera Raw and Photoshop require a lot of manual work and even then do not produce good results.
