Question

Camera Raw Now Applies a Mask?

In previous versions of photoshop I would open 5 or so images and apply a camera raw filter to the first one. Save a copy and then go through and apply last filter to the remaining images.

After a recent update I am now noticing a mask is being created and applied to the other images. Instead of just applying the raw filter and adjusted settings like before.

This makes the apply last filter useless and now forces me to open camera raw and manually apply the filter every time. Which is several steps and annoying versus just pressing alt+ctrl+f.

 

I am currently using:

Photoshop 24.5

Camera Raw 15.3.1

 

I don't know in which version this started happening. But if anyone does I'd appreciate it so I can downgrade.

 

Thanks

    I've updated to the latest versions of both Photoshop and Camera Raw.

     

    Workflow

     

    1.  Open Photoshop
    2.  In file explorer select and drag photos into photoshop. Usually around 3-6 images.
    3.  These will open into their own tabs in Photoshop.
    4.  Select image in first tab.
    5.  With first tab open select Filter/Camera Raw Filter...
    6.  Camera Raw will open up.
    7.  Once Camera Raw is open on the side there will be two circles, a dark circle overlapping a light circle.
    8.  Click that to open Camera Raw Presets.
    9.  This will open a list of available filters.
    10.  Choose Adaptive: Subject/ Warm Pop.
    11.  Select OK.
    12.  This will close Camera Raw and return you to Photoshop.
    13.  In photoshop Select the next image tab.
    14.  Select Filter/Last Filter. It'll read as Camera Raw Filter on the first line of the Filter drop down.
    15.  This will apply the Warm Pop Camera Raw preset. Except it will also include the mask it created between the subject and backgound of the first image. This does not work.

     

    Previous versions would not do this. Instead they would apply the preset itself not the version of the preset used in the original image.

      Hi @defaultzdjj46eec1kd could you share some screenshots of your Ps workspace, what is the workflow you are doing, what CR filter(s) are you applying etc?
