Camera Raw 13 Color Grading very slow and lagging.

I'm finding that the color grading wheels in ACR13 are very laggy with a mouse and unusable with a Wacom tablet.

With the mouse there is a 1-2-second delay with both the hue and saturation controls making it impossible to accurately drag and slide the controls.

I'm grading 16-bit ProPhoto RGB 45MP raw files. Color grading in LrC works perfectly.

I have a Windows 10, i7, 7700k with 32GB memory, SSDs and a GTX 1060 6GB.

Has anyone had the same issue and found a solution?

Thanks.

Correct answer Jon-M-Spear

SOLVED: It seems that Acronis Active Protection is the culprit. Once disabled, Color Grading works as expected.

Acronis True Image 2021 build 34340 just released solves the problem

Hi ,

I solved this problem a year ago by disabling ransomware protection in Acronis, but ACR does not work properly now on my current pc. I have another pc which also has disabled ransomware protection which was working ok. However as I watched the latest upgrade to ACR install and then I signed in to bridge and now ACDR does not work on that computer.

Adobe are up to something. I wish that they would admit that there is a problem somewhere.

Further update.

On my other pc which i do not use very often on which ACR stopped working, I recovered an image of my drive from last week and updated to the latest version of PS and bridge , but not ACR and everything is now working.

O my main pc which is the one that we are discussing a ACR is fully up to date. ACR as a filter is a bit sluggish. I always export from ACR with my images as smart objects so that everything is none destructive and I can go back to my raw file at anytime. However this does not happen now. Just look at the mess that Photoshop now creates when I want to go back to my raw file in ACR. see attachment. What a mess Adobe have created

That looks like a buggy video driver. Disable GPU in ACR preferences to confirm if that's the issue; then update or roll back your driver. If neither is an option, you can just keep GPU disabled. It doesn't make much of a difference unless you have a 4K/5K monitor.

Wow, thank you! All of my Camera Raw sliders were sluggish and the RTX2070-8GB GPU in my Sager Notebook with i7-9750 and 32GB of RAM was constantly racing. Turn off Acronis Active Protection and all is well. What are they doing???
