Camera Raw (Lightroom)

[SlicedCheese]

For over two weeks now I have not been able to open Lightroom on my new MBP M3 Max. I have reinstalled three times, run the cleaner app, and reinstalled Creative Cloud, but nothing is fixing the issue - Camera Raw fails to initialize.

Can we have more details from you?

"Camera Raw" is a Photoshop Plugin and has no purpose or effect, neither is it needed, for using Lightroom-Desktop (Cloud based app).

Is it that you have "reinstalled (Lightroom) three times" from the Desktop App?

Does the Creative Cloud Desktop App , from the Apps icon, show you Lightroom to (Open) or (Install) ?

Do you see any error messages?

Here are 3 screenshots of trying to open Lr.  I have check disk permissions and Lr has Full Access.

This is the final dialogue box that allows me to report the issue, which I have done a few times

Have you opened a chat with Adobe Support?

And if not already done so try- Grant 'Full DIsk Permissions' in your Mac.

The link (although a little out of date) refers to Lr-Classic but should apply the same for Lightroom.

Sorry I cannot be of more help.

By the way that Adobe access application is the worst. Need to discontinue that as I've uninstalled it months ago. Just as facebook isn't an alternative platform anymore. Too controlling.

Figure out another way of accessing Adobe application as the Apple Store has commandered one side of the IP community while google has control of the other. Especially if one has run out of fiat during the early part of a new month. Even though DVD software is owned and installed, our phones are blocked from accessing any updates. Which in this striated fiat times, you now become locked out of socializing via web. No conglomerates should have that kind of control over society. No one. Had been blocked from twitter's platform because I mentioned that Trump would win the election. So bought a new phone just to stay relatively updated with news.
