P: Lens Profile requests and information

Lens Profiles apply to Camera Raw, Lightroom Classic, and the Lightroom Ecosystem products (Desktop, Mobile, and Web).   Lens Profiles are available for a wide array of lenses. Not every lens is currently profiled, and of those profiled, not all are profiled for all camera and file types. For example, there may be a profile for a particular lens and camera mount for the raw file but not for the JPEG. Normally, profiles for JPEG are not supplied unless the camera does not apply a correction (e.g. iPhone, GoPro). A complete list of profiled lenses can be found here: https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/supported-lenses.html other helpful info: https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/lens-profile-support.html#Supported_lenses  Lens correction for all Micro 4/3 (MFT) lenses and many newer cameras, including Panasonic and Olympus cameras, and other cameras (including Fuji X,  Leica Q, and Nikon Z series)plus many point-and-shoot models from Ca

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

Feature Requests

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: 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.

We are working on a fix for the upcoming release.    Check out HelpX for more detailed usage information.

P: Histogram is not visible in the latest ACR but it is visible when using the PS camera raw filter

Just notice something strange following this week's updates: The histogram in Adobe Camera Raw 18.3.1.2580 is not visible, although one can drag a mouse pointer in the blank area and change the luminance. So, it seems to be just not showing. Conversely, when using Photoshop and clicking on the Camera Raw filter, that version of ACR has a visible histogram, with the same functionality as expected.Updating NVidia drivers to the latest release did not correct the bug.At least one other user experienced the same bug. His correction was to rollback to 18.3.0

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

Unable to Download AI Model (ACR 18.3.1 and 18.3.2) - Needing reset of GPU support

For the past few weeks, opening Camera Raw from Bridge and trying to use selection mask such as background or subject, I get the “Unable to Load AI Models” error. The fix for this is often to go into Carmera Raw Performance settings, reset GPU Support, and then restart bridge. This does allow me to use the tool/mask I was trying to use. However, every 2nd or 3rd time I open Camera Raw from Bridge, I have to do this again. Is this issue being addressed?System is Windows 11Edition Windows 11 ProVersion 25H2Installed on ‎10/‎16/‎2024OS build 26200.8524Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.315.0 AMD Radeon RX6800 8gb GPU w/Adrenalin Edition 26.5.2 DriverAMD Ryzen 7 7700x64g Ram Happy to provide more details if needed. -Brandon Jackson

P: People mask works on TIFF exported from a raw but not the raw

People masking fails to detect the person shown in a raw photo but does detect the person in a TIFF exported from the raw. That's incorrect -- the images are visually identical. To reproduce on LR 15.3 / Mac OS 26.4.1: 1. Download and open this catalog, containing a .nef and a .tif exported from the .nefhttps://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/awz18x0px6nxb5dvauu9g/people-mask-raw-bug.2026-05-29.zip?rlkey=wy2h85fmasbr39y9q10z27mnv&dl=0 2. Select the .tif and create a People mask. Observe that it succeeds. 3. Select the .neft and try to create a People mask, and observe that it says No People Found.
