It doesn't matter what was done to create the JPG. The point is that the same JPG is being used as input to LR/ACR-plug-in vs ACR-filter with the same settings applied and it looks different between the two.

Just Dehaze + 100 is enough to show the stripes. No need for tone curve and sharpening.

ssprengel · ‎Nov 14, 2018

I see the same thing with the JPG you shared: In LR 8.0 and PS 20 / ACR 11.0 plug-in the banding occurs. In PS 20 / ACR 11.0 *filter* there is no banding. The JPG didn't appear to have any embedded Camera Raw settings. I mostly added Dehaze +100 to make the banding more visible but also removed most of the red/green chromatic aberration that was a bit distracting. but the CA removal didn't affect the banding. Can you upload the original raw to the same Google drive and share it? Or maybe a DNG with the settings embedded?

This is in Develop which doesn't use previews, right?

That link is private, for you only, not public, for everyone, or access to that image needs changed to public, at least temporarily. Here is what I see logged in as me when I click on it, and I'm not going to request permission:

I mainly wanted to see if you were using a LUT with your custom profile. Looking at the side-by-side in the original message, I’m suspicious there is something wrong with the display of the JPG, where there might be a mismatched profile when displaying in PS because the colors look so pale compared to the NEF that looks normal. Do you have profile-mismatch warnings turned on in PS, or could you be viewing a ProPhotoRGB or AdobeRGB JPG with sRGB set as your profile in PS without warnings turned on?

Does this happen with all JPGs? Does it happen if the GPU (Graphics Processor) is turned off or on, whatever is different than now? Can you provide a link to the original JPG on somewhere like dropbox or googledrive or onedrive and let us see if the same happens for us?

This is a user-to-user forum not Adobe and here we cannot cancel a subscription. Look here for more information: How to cancel your Adobe Creative Cloud plan or membership Be aware that subscriptions are typically for a full year with monthly payments, not a monthly subscription, so if you cancel in the middle of the subscription period (a year) there is a penalty (perhaps half of the remaining subscription fees).

An application graying out is a sign that the keyboard/mouse drivers have suspended taking new input because they are waiting on some low-level process to complete. In my experience this is due to the app needing more memory and waiting for the OS to give it to the application. You might watch things in Task Manager to see if the CPU is maxed out, the memory is exhausted and/or there are many page-faults occurring, and if the GPU is being used or not. Add the GPU and GPU Engine columns in the TM Processes view (right click on another column heading to get the menu), and add the PF Delta column in the Details view to see the page-faults. You can try disabling or enabling the GPU individually in each of PS and ACR Performance settings and try updating the graphics driver from the manufacturer's site.

Can we see the what camera profile is selected in ACR 11 for the CR2?

Does it work if you Run as Administrator:

You can do this with LR CC if your total images isn't so much as to fill up your hard drive with the sync data, or you can put your images and catalog on an external drive, and as long as you name the device the same on both computers or have the same drive letter on both computers it should work with the desktop LR Classic CC. Just make sure you've shut down LR completely -- and the process has exited, after several 10s of seconds for me, before you eject the drive.

Download the original-sized photo (should have _o.jpg not a _n.jpg suffix) from FB to your computer and see how big it is in bytes on disk, then Export the original in LR using that max-file-size on LR's Export panel and see how bad the LR Export with that filesize restriction looks. I'm sure FB is just compressing the photo significantly so it doesn't take up much bandwidth on various devices. You can add random noise to make the banding less obvious, but of course it won't look as smooth as the original.

The small set of Canon lens profiles in your screenshot means you're viewing a JPG. Most lens profiles only work for RAW (.CRW or .CR2 for Canon) format files. Select a .CR2 (instead of a JPG, PSD or TIF) and you should see many Canon profiles, more like this partial list that includes the profile you're looking for:

As Gary-SC shows, if you are using a recent LR version > 5.6 and I would add, shooting raw images, then the correction should be there and automatically detected, assuming your lens is the Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM. If you are not sure what you’re doing please upload a raw image taken with your camera and that lens to somewhere like dropbox or googledrive or onedrive (or some other large-file-hosting site) and post a public share link to that raw imgae, here, and others can try it and tell you it is working for them or what it is different and won’t work.

ssprengel · ‎Oct 25, 2018

Great. No bug needed.

ssprengel · ‎Oct 25, 2018

I'll submit a bug with Adobe for this.

ssprengel · ‎Oct 25, 2018

Can you upload a sample raw file to somewhere like dropbox or onedrive or googledrive and post a public share link to it, here?

The link had an extra HTTPS on the end of it. I think your question is how to copy-paste ASCII art into PS, which I don't know the answer to. https://www.twitchquotes.com/copypastas/ascii-art

With Adobe downloads are free; however, licenses are not free. Using unlicensed software is illegal. PS7 may have been produced before Adobe had online activation set up so it's possible someone has a keygen that can create a key that works with the software but that doesn't make it legal to use, either. In other words, just because Adobe or the software, itself, can't tell a key is created outside of Adobe being paid, doesn't make it legal. It also seems unwise to pay money for a PS7 key because you are likely being scammed. There is a risk of being caught if you use any other Adobe software on the computer (like the free Adobe Acrobat Reader) with a pirated PS7 installed because you never know what license checks are going on in the background and your PS7 could be disabled or your Adobe ID or computer could get blacklisted, or worse.

I am not a Mac person so maybe someone who is can tell you something better, but: What were you doing before when things worked as you expected? Were you on Windows or not using Photos as your photo manager? Why are you using Photos and not Organizer? The problem is likely that you're opening from Photos and it renders a JPG from the raw and sends that jpg to your app. There is a way in Photos to export the raw to another folder (makes a copy) and you can then open that copy of your raw in your other application, but why make extra copies, why not just copy the original files to your HD and import into Organizer and from there open in ACR or PSE, right? Like I said maybe there is something that allows better integration between Photos and PSE but I don't have experience with a Mac.

Adobe released PS 20.0 with ACR 11.0 and Lightroom 8.0 today to coincide with Adobe MAX this week.

What is an example of the original filename corresponding to the other names you've listed? What's the process you're using to open an original files in ACR that is showing a different name? Give an example of the steps you're using.

Adobe releases software updates about every 2 months so there's enough time to get new features and cameras tested to some degree. Cameras from various manufacturers are released at various points during that period. The perceived time it takes to get a new camera supported depends on the relative time between the camera being released/purchased and an Adobe scheduled software update. If you wanted day-one support for a new camera purchase, wait to purchase it, until it is supported.

This is a user-to-user forum, so we can only respond to what has been posted, here, which isn't a lot to go on, other than your LR Classic crashes after about a minute and you're on a Mac and have tried disabling the GPU. A couple more things to try would be: 1) Create a new, empty catalog and see if things are ok. 2) Pause Address Lookup, Face Detection and CC Sync, restart LR and see if things are stable for more than a minute. Then enable each of those settings one at a time, restarting in between, and wait for a minute or two and see if the crash is related to one of those things. I'm on a PC not a Mac so am not quite sure what all you can do on a Mac but if there is some way to find out what files the LR process is reading and writing to at the moment of the crash, perhaps it is related to a bad video or image file that LR is trying to examine as part of the background process of seeing if metadata has changed outside of LR.

Most people's subscriptions are for a full year and cancelling early results in a penalty of 50% of the remaining balance. People assume they are month-to-month because they are billed monthly but the subscription is an annual one. Usually Adobe wants to find out why you are cancelling and to warn you about the cancellation penalty and to otherwise try to get you to stay. And I was able to get to a webpage with Chat and Phone options using only a few clicks, where it is 5:30 pm on a Sunday in the US: 1) www.adobe.com 2) Support -> Contact Adobe: 3) Account Issues: 4) Cancel My Membership: 5) Show me my contact options: 6) Chat or Phone: I am not going to click any further, because I don't want to cancel my membership, but I expect someone would reply to me if I clicked Chat. I prefer that to Phone because the language barrier less severe via typing.

If you like things disappearing at the moment of decision with one keystroke or click, set your filter to show only non-rejected photos (Flagged and Unflagged, but not Rejected) and they will disappear as you reject them, then think of delete-rejected-photos as empty-recycle-bin that you do one time at the end, not once per photo.

Anthony is looking for the Auto-Tone algorithm from ACR 8.8. Auto-Tone changes are different than Process Version changes. Using the latest version of ACR 10.5, using Auto Tone in PV4 and PV5 produces the same Tone values. Auto-Tone in PV3 is very slightly different, but in all causes the Auto algorithm changes Vibrance and Saturation which is a very new addition, so changing PV does not change the Auto-Tone algorithm. -- I think the solution is for Anthony to install the very first PS CC (before the year started being added) from the CC app, then install the ACR 8.8 update from the links, earlier, and open the particular photo(s) in that older version and do Auto WB and Auto Tone. After that, opening the photos in the newest PS/ACR/Bridge version will be ok as long as the toning sliders are not being touched. The install for PS CC is available in Other Versions under PS in the CC App:

I don't have a Mac so cannot answer your question from personal experience. About the only thing I can suggest is redownload and re-install in case something wasn't quite, but maybe it doesn't work, I don't know. It seems you wanted to include some screenshots. If so you need create the message on the web version of the forums rather than e-mail where attachments aren't allowed, and either copy-paste an image into the message text or upload an image using the photo icon above where you type in the reply. There is some size limit to them, so don't copy-paste your entire hi-res screen or multiple monitors. Make the window your pasting less than full screen or crop off the parts outside the window. This is the "insert photo" icon:
