Green patches after using auto haze removal

[Frans2001]

After I apply auto haze removal I get lots of green patches in highlight areas. Did I set a highlight warning that I don't remember or is something else going on?

Thanks everyone for the points raised in this discussion.  I will bring the issues to the attention of the Elements development team.  I would not expect the 16-bit problem to garner much attention, but the color management issue is certainly deserving of it.

About the color space bug with raw files in the Elements ACR (Always sRGB even if the choice is 'optimize for prints'), I have noted something strange while working on the jpeg file submitted by @Monte307 in that discussion:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-elements-discussions/organizer-2023-photo-date-is-1-1-1601/...

When I open that jpeg, I get the warning dialog that the file has no embedded color space and that I have to choose according to the regular modes, optimize for print or for display. Everything works as expected.

When I try to open the jpeg directly in ACR, no warning at all and the result is always sRGB.

Maybe that could help debugging the issue?

A while ago, I had submitted the idea that the bug could have been the result of changes to enable the recent workaround to update the PSE ACR version manually, instead of waiting for an update needed both on the ACR module AND in PSE itself. If my guess was right, that would mean that the only satisfaying solution to get both the update workaroung and the choice of color space would be to include the color space choice directly into the ACR dialog, just like in Photoshop or Bridge.
