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

Updated on July 7th, 2026.This post is to collect in-app customer feedback on the Generative Expand feature in Camera Raw.  Generative Expand seamlessly blends the edges of your existing image with newly generated content that naturally fits into the background without taking away from your photo’s original subject. Some use cases for Generative Expand are: Expand the canvas for images that were accidentally cropped  Fill in the edges of Geometry Edits Adjust the aspect ratio of a photo for social media  We'd love to hear what it does well, what it doesn't, and how you'd like it to work.  Please also include the following details in your post:  Camera Raw version System details Example image(s) if you wish to share Our team continually monitors this thread.

There were people in the lower left and lower right of the image frame, both much larger than other people in the middle and far distance in the frame.

Please can someone explain the changes to the crop tool in Camera Raw (18.3)?When using the gemoetry options I cannot crop to the edge of the image no matter what I do - this was no problem before. When the crop area is maximised, the crop tool no longer drags the cropped area, it only draws a new area to crop.This is incredibly frustrating. Please can someone tell me how to get the legacy crop tool back? This wasn’t included in any “What’s New” content I have seen.

Please Bring Back the “Constrain Crop” Option in Adobe Camera RawPlease bring back the “Constrain Crop” option that was available in previous versions of Adobe Camera Raw.This feature automatically adjusted the crop boundary when an image was rotated, preventing empty or transparent areas from appearing around the edges. It was extremely useful for photographers who need to straighten and crop large numbers of images quickly.In the latest version, this option is no longer available, which makes the cropping workflow much slower and less convenient. Users now have to manually adjust the crop after every rotation, even though the previous feature handled this automatically with a single checkbox.Removing this option feels like a significant step backward, especially for professional photographers who process hundreds or thousands of images at a time. Please restore the original “Constrain Crop” checkbox, or provide an equivalent option that users can enable or disable depending on their

At the moment I don’t shoot in raw and do not want Photoshop to open in Camera Raw. I have tried the various suggestions and rebooted both photoshop and my Mac laptop but it still opens my jpeg files in Camera Raw. Any suggestions on how I can top Photoshop opening in Camera Raw would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi everyone, I’m a professional photographer specializing in interior photography.In my workflow, which involves processing images through Adobe Camera Raw, perspective correction is an essential step.Correcting vertical and horizontal lines manually takes some time, especially when it has to be done image by image. So, when Adobe introduced the one-click Guided Upright feature for automatically straightening lines, I was genuinely excited.Unfortunately, after testing it in real-world situations, I found that it only worked reliably in a limited number of cases, and I soon stopped using it.The main issue is that, when an image contains many visible lines, the algorithm does not always distinguish between the primary architectural lines and secondary elements.For example, when photographing a hotel room, the main reference lines should be those of the room itself, such as the walls, floor and ceiling. However, the algorithm is often distracted by wardrobes, furniture, doors and other el

Prior to version 16.0.5, switching aspect ratios in the now-named Crop & Expand menu would maintain either the width or height (can’t quite remember which, but I believe it was typically the shorter of the two) when switching over. Now, it seems to average out some arbitrary change in crop size, losing the useful ability to rely on a crop still aligning to a certain place/size when switching ratio.

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  

Hi Adobe Team,I am writing to express my strong frustration regarding the latest Adobe Camera Raw updates (v18.4 / v18.4.1). [1, 2]With the latest update, the automatic limitation feature for mass automation/batch processing was completely removed or broken. Because of this regression, I was forced to manually limit and process hundreds of images individually, which completely ruined my high-volume workflow and cost me hours of manual labor. [1]Due to this severe limitation, I had to uninstall the latest version and downgrade back to version 18.3.2 just to keep my daily business running. Batch automation is a core requirement for professional photographers, and removing or breaking this automation constraint makes the plugin unusable for mass editing. [1, 2]Please treat this as a critical bug or regression and restore the automatic limitation for batch workflows in the next patch.System Environment:Previous Working Version: v18.3.2 Broken Version: v18.4 / v18.4.1 Windows 11  Thank you,

I have a bunch of HDR photos that I’m saving as AVIFs.  Everything works fine except that if I save them with Color Space “Maximize Compatibility” enabled then I am unable to load these AVIF’s back into ACR without losing all of my HDR grading.  It will load those files back in as basically ungraded SDR images.  Simply clicking the HDR button does not return them to their correct appearance.  All HDR grading is lost.However, if I turn “Maximize Compatibility” OFF then the resulting AVIF files load back into ACR perfectly fine with HDR enabled and all the grading looking exactly how I left it.  My understanding is that Maximize Compatibility simply adds a gain map to the file, but apparently that gain map is confusing ACR when I try to load those files back in.  HDR JPEG Ultra files which also have gain maps, however, do load back into ACR just fine without any issues. This is with whatever version of ACR is current as of July 18, 2026.

Products: Photoshop 27.8.0, Bridge 16.0.5, Adobe Camera Raw 18.4.1.2647Hardware: Mac Mini M4 Pro with 24 GB, Apple Studio Display XDROS: macOS “Tahoe” 26.5.2Symptoms: Frequent kernel panics while editing RAW files from Nikon Z8 and iPhone 16 Pro Max.Sometimes I can work through several files without trouble. Then I load a new file in ACR, make some adjustments, and it crashes. This has happened when touching several different sliders and controls. There is no obvious or repeatable pattern to the panics. I am mostly editing in HDR mode, with working space HDR P3 or Rec. 2020. These are not complex edits - usually just a few moves for exposure, shadows, clarity, cropping, etc.Files are located in local storage (internal SSD of Mac), or external storage (Crucial x9 Pro SSD).Files are opened via Bridge, or directly from Finder.I have tried disabling GPU, purging cache, restarting the Mac, reinstalling Photoshop.Attached is a crash dump. 

I’m using Geometry panel in ACR on everyday basis, but after some latest update it is harder to use again.Why geometry panel is now collapsed by default, when there is no need to save space for other tools?Why do I have to expand panel for every single image?How do I make it expanded by default?Why do you do these nonsense changes, that dont help, Adobe?   

When I updated to the latest Camera Raw 18.4.1, the Denoise AI disappeared and only the original Denoise is there. When checking why this is what is suggestedEnable Technology Previews:In Photoshop: Go to Photoshop > Settings > Technology Previews (Mac) or Edit > Preferences > Technology Previews (Windows). Check the box for "New AI features and settings panel". Restart Photoshop or Bridge. That box containing New AI features doesn’t appear in either Photoshop or Camera Raw settings in Bridge. Can someone tell me where to find and fix this problem?
