After upgrade to Ventura OS, Lightroom and Lightroom Classics fail to load with error message:

"AgImageIOInit.init: failed to initialize Camera Raw: initializing Camera Raw: dng_error_unknown."

The same versions of Lightroom Classsics and Lightroom run properly in my PC Windows system. And Photoshop runs smoothly in all platforms.

Any solution? Thanks!

Hello everyone,

Yesterday I joined the Adobe family by subscribing for Lightroom + Photoshop package, but the Lightroom app immediately failed to open, giving me this issue:

AgImageIOInit.init: failed to initialize Camera Raw: initializing Camera Raw: dng_error_unknown

Of course all the app installed through the Adobe Cloud desktop are updated to the last version.

Also, I've the M2 Max 2023, 32gb, updated to Ventura 13.4.1 (22F82)

Hope you'll help me to fix this issue 🙂

Thanks

Manuel

Mac Studio M2 Ultra - Lightroom Classic will open but it's just a Grey screen and you cannot see or do anything.

Tryinng Lightroom and it just gives

AgImageIOInit.init: failed to initialize Camera Raw: initializing Camera Raw: dng_error_unknown error and will not open.

I've done a clean sweep of everything and tried again. same results. Photoshop is funtioning prperly at the moment.

Same Issue here on Windows 10.

I have not been able to resolve this issue and therefore couldn't use Lightroom for almost 5 months now.

All info I got after a thorough support session is that it's an issue with permissions, but no solution has worked so far.

Report · Aug 16, 2023

This is the error message that comes up every time I try to launch my lightroom app. How do I get this fixed?

Same Issue with Ventura 13.5.1 and LR 6.5. LRC 12.5 stopps with freeze when starting up. Photoshop is working.

Report · Sep 18, 2023

Lightroom is not openning, crashing inmediatly.

This is the message I'm getting

Report · Sep 19, 2023

*fixed* *solution*

after finally getting through to Adobe Support it was found that I had some deep seeded privacy settings not setup properly and it was not allowing LR to open fully.

my recommendation it to actually get through to tech support and they'll remotely sign in for you to fix the issue. I wish I did this ages ago

Report · Sep 21, 2023

I really don't have the time to sit for an hour on the phone with support, do you have any idea what settings they adjusted?

Report · Sep 21, 2023

Lol 😂 but you have time to scour the internet for a solution? Just call their support team (that's what they're there for)

unfortunatley I don't know what they did because it was all in the command prompt.

Report · Sep 21, 2023

Since all I was able to get is a condecending reponse, there is a version of Lightroom for Mac available in the app store that works normally.

Report · Sep 21, 2023

"I really don't have time" to go to the AppStore and download it. Could you hold my hand provide a link?

you're the one who started with the condescending attitude for no reason. Acting like people in this forum owe you something. Next time leave out how busy your schedule is and maybe you'll get a better response.

Passing along on behalf of Ross:

After months of being unable to use Lightroom and Lightroom Classic I have finally figured out the issue!

There were comments about changing the sharing permissons but on the new Mac M2 Max the library folder in users is hidden by default.

By Pressing Command + Shift + . it unhides all folders and the Library folder appears. I allowed permission for everyone in the adobe folder and all applications within and now everything works!

I wish someone could have explained this before and now i see the dicussion for this is locked?

Could you pass this on to others please.

Thanks Ross

Clean install of Creative Cloud 6.0.0.571 and Lightroom 7.0 on macos 14.0

At first use of Lightroom, I am presented with an error message "Error initializing Lightroom: Failed to Initialize Camera Raw. I experience the same behavior when downgrading and running Lightroom 6.5

Photoshop is working as expected

New subscriber to Adobe photography paid package. Pretty disappointed, out of the 3 programs, Photoshop, Lightroom and Lightroom Classic - Photoshop is the only 1/3 that seems to operate normally.

As soon as I go to open Lr Lightroom, it pops up with the message attached. I have read numerous attempts tp fix this, such as deleted preferences within Library files and changing all items in permissions to change every item to display Read and Write.

Need help

My lightroom would say it was up to date on the cloud but everytime i opened up the lightroom app, it was still the old 4.3 version. So, I decided to uninstall the app and reinstall it. After reinstalling it, every time I try to open lighroom I get a error saying "failed to initialize camera raw". It wont even let me get into the app now. I can't seem to find any solutions anywhere.

Here is the exact error it gives me: "AgImageIOInit.init: failed to initialize Camera Raw: initializing Camera Raw: dng_error_unknown"

When I try to open lightroom it says failed to initialize camera raw

Report · Jan 02, 2024

Lightroom won't open on my M2 Max Macbook Pro on Mac OS Sonoma. I have Lightroom version 7.1.2 installed and every time I try to open the app it instantly pops up with this error "failed to initialize camera Raw" and or "failed to initialize Lightroom". I have tried uninstalling Lightroom and reinstalling older versions and this issue still appears. I have ensured that all older versions are gone from my finder and then installing the app but this issue still appears when I try to open it. I have tried using Lightroom Classic but it will just sit on the loading page and never open. I also updated my camera raw plugin and this did not work either.

I am encoutering a weird bug with light room that I can not nail down. When I open the application it throws a message unable to initalize camera raw then if you close that error the application will throw the second error failed to initialize light room and gives a bug report. The bug report is exception unknown <crash exception="EXCEPTION_UNKNOWN" exceptionCode="0xe06d7363" instruction="0x00007FF87006567C"> so I dont really have much to go on.

Steps I have tried to resolve the issue. ReInstalling the application, reinstalling drivers, reinstalling windows.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
