Camera Raw

Hello Adobe Team,In a series of identical tripod shots, a manually created mask does not synchronize correctly.When I copy the mask to a single image, it is positioned correctly. When I synchronize it to multiple images simultaneously, the mask appears shifted—even though the camera, subject, framing, and image dimensions remain unchanged. Is this a known issue?Thanks - Michael

I have a 100 year old photo that was oil painted and framed in an oval with bowed glass. I tried very hard to light it without having a reflection of the light in the photo, but because the glass is bowed, I still had some reflections. The distraction remove tool, even at Best quality, doesn’t seem to do much. Honestly, I can’t see any significant different between before and after. Before distraction removalAfter distraction removal at BestYes, I realize the image is dark, but I thought I would brighten it after removing the glare. Any ideas? Is this tool not going to work on bowed glass? 

Adobe Camera Raw 18.5This problem occurs on both Nikon D850 and D500 raw files which have been opened in ACR by right clicking on the files in the Mac finder and selecting open in photoshop.  The files have not been previously processed in any way.When I right click on the image in Camera Raw, the option for “Show Autofocus Points” is greyed out and not responsive.  I have repeated this with multiple files from both cameras taken using different autofocus modes.I have checked two of the files (one D500, and one D850) in Raw Digger to examine the EXIF data, and both show values for “Focus Position” (0x11 on a D500 file) and “AF Points in Focus” (E9 on the same file), so this metadata information should be available to Camera Raw.Are these cameras supposed to be supported by this feature?  Adobe’s documentation says nothing about what cameras are supported.I watched a video today showing someone using this feature (although with a different camera’s files), so I know that I was looking a

This is the kind of message I get from version 18.4.1 to version 18.5.0 when I launch the module from Photoshop. 

It seems the “guidelines” warning is back in Camera Raw after having been absent for quite a while. Today, simply trying to remove the edge of a wall in an image generated the “this doesn’t fit in the guidelines” warning message that I haven’t seen in Camera for over a year now. I realize that perhsp I hadn’t conisdered the wall’s feelings about being removed from the final image, but in all seriousness, removing things like softbox edges and other minor background intrusions seems to be exactly what these sort of tools can make short work of. Please have a look and see if the guidelines can be adjusted to be more useful. I can easily go fix this in PS and will, but something simple like this shouldn’t require a trip to PS. 

Announcing a new feature now in Adobe Camera Raw (17.2) – Removal of Distracting PeopleUnder the Remove dialog, under Distraction Removal, we have added an item called “People”.   This feature supports faster and easier detection and removal of distracting people in an image. It is offered as a Tech Preview in the Adobe Camera Raw Plugin-only and is available now. Please try it out and let us know what works well, what doesn’t work well, and anything that might improve the experience.   Thank you! Peter Baust - Dir, Product Management   Posted by Rikk Flohr  

In some photos, applying the Adaptive Color Profile produces weird, blotchy artifacts in brighter areas, particularly in a sky where there is strong contrast between the bright and dark areas, like a sunrise or sunset. In the attached video, the photo in Develop begins with Adobe Color as the Profile, adjusting the Highlights slider brightens and darkens the sky as expected. Changing the Profile to Adaptive Color produces noticeable, blotchy artifacts in the sky. Adjusting the Highlights slider dramatically changes these blotchy artifacts. Adjusting the Profile Amount slider also changes these artifacts. Enabling HDR mode makes these blotches disappear; adjusting the Highlights moves a prominent bright band up and down in the sky, but the blotches do not appear. I reported this in another photo a year ago, but the problem remains. It means that for some photos, Adaptive Color is quite useless. Has anyone else seen this problem when using the Adaptive Color Profile?  

Only ONE distructing person is identified, while there are several.  “Exclude area from remove” doesn’t work, since cursor turns into ZOOM mode when moved to that area and you can’t point to the pin.Previous version worked much better !(I work in Windows 11)

Attached is a photo I took this afternoon witih my new Pixel 10.  The various C2PA verifiers and inspectors are happy with it. I pull it into LrC (via the Android Lr app) and try to export it with C2PA attachment enabled. It refuses to do this, simply saying "Couldn't apply Content Credentials (1) and then the file name.   In Ps however I can open it, enable Content Credentials and then export. c2patool likes it, but the online c2pa verifiers/inspectors report breakage and failure to validate.

Steps to reproduce: 1. load image in ACR 2. choose the crop tool (C)  3. enlarge the canvas (check "enable expand" first) 4. apply a manual transformation   Result: the stretched image is confined by the dimension of the imageExpected result: the stretched image is only restricted by the size of the canvas   Workaround: Export image with enlarged canvas and use ACR from there

Recent Camera RAW update… when I access the Geometry panel  Shift T, the default is collapsed, I always have to click it to expand. Used to not be this way… any fix?
