Camera Raw Issue

For some reason after I updated both photoshop and camera raw. I am unable to access the camera raw filter feature. It worked perfectly fine before the update but now I can't use it. Does anyone know how to resolve this? I reset the camera raw preferences and it had no effect.

Yes, it is in CMYK mode! @Stephen Marsh

Then you have your correct answer! :]

 

The Camera Raw Filter expects RGB input, not CMYK.

 

If you have a grayscale mode file, Photoshop can automatically handle the 1 channel > 3 channels > 1 channel processing behind the scenes.

 

You'll also notice that Bitmap, Indexed Color and Lab mode are also unsupported. Surprisingly, Multichannel mode is supported, but it's only for the active channel which is treated as grayscale.

I'm also having a sudden camera raw issue but it's a "camera raw graphics acceleration is not supported by your system" when I have an M3 Max chip, lovely.

@Nicholas5DE5 – Is your document CMYK mode?
