I have the latest version of Photoshop and Camera Raw loaded. Using Mojave 10.14.6. When I access the Camera Raw filter with an image loaded in Photoshop it freezes up after only a couple of adjustments. I'm not able to quit or otherwise get out of the application without shutting down the computer and restarting. No other applications are running. Advice????

Crash or freeze

Correct answer D Fosse

Go into Camera Raw preferences (not Photoshop preferences) and uncheck "use graphics processor".

It's a buggy video driver.

I'm running version 24.3 and every time I use the Camera Raw filter, Photoshop locks up and I have to go to Task Manager and force a shut down. I've tried rolling back to an earlier version but that hasn't helped. Any suggestions?

Oh ok, finally fixed it. Just easy, hold ctrl + go to edit>preferencies>camera raw, delete settings.

This worked for me too on Windows. This problem was driving me mad - when I attempted to launch Camera Raw from either Photoshop or Bridge the user interface would freeze and I needed to kill the process using Task Manager. I tried turning off graphics processor (didn't work), purging cache (didn't work) and various other tweaks (didn't work). Deleting Settings as described worked perfectly.
