Brush tool in camera raw slow

The brush tool is Adobe Camera Raw is very slow and laggy. Almost impossible to use. I am on a very fast Mac Book Pro with 16gb of RAM. I have a newly installed Yosemite and PS.
I have no idea how to fix this, would appreciate any help thank you!!!

Maybe you should post over at
Adobe Camera Raw
and mention the exact versions of Photoshop, ACR and OS, the involved hardware, …

No Adjustment Brush Tool in Camera Raw 5.2

Hi, I'm new here. After watching a Gavin Hoey tutorial on HDR editing, I decided to give it a try. My pc came with PSE 7.0 pre-installed (it's version 7.0.1 and the camera raw is version 5.2.0.65) When I drag a RAW image into the edit window of PSE, it opens in a camera raw 5.2 window. On the Hoey tutorial, the window has an adjustment brush in the top toolbar, but on mine, there is no such tool. Is this normal, or can I download an update to fix this? I'm guessing PSE is a "diluted" version of PSand that's why the adjustment brush is missing.

The tutorial was undoubtedly using Camera Raw hosted by the full version of Photoshop.
Camera Raw in Photoshop Elements is emasculated by design, even though the Camera Raw plug-in is exactly the same one used by the full version of Photoshop. There's only a limited subset of the features and tabs offered by Camera Raw when hosted by Elements.
I don't remember at what stage the Adjustment Tool was added, so you should try updating Camera Raw at least to version 5.7, or higher if your version of Elements supports a higher version.
In my opinion, Photoshop Elements is overpriced by about $80.

Adjustment Brush Tool or Graduated Filter Tool in Camera Raw for Photoshop Elements 12?

Is there an Adjustment Tool or Graduated Filter Tool in Camera Raw for Photoshop Elements 12?

Those are Lightroom tools for those who don't want to use a regular pixel editor like Photoshop or Elements which have much more powerful tools to do that.
The idea with the reduced set of feature in the ACR version of Elements is that features available in Elements are not necessary in ACR. You need to use the Elements editor more frequently than if you are working with Lightroom.

Why can't I see moire reduction tool in camera raw 8.1?

Hi There,
I have been happilly using the moire reduction tool in camera raw up until a day or 2 ago. For some reason the moire reduction panel no longer appears under the adjustment brush. The funny thing is that 1 dng file that I used the moire reduction on 2 days ago still shows that panel but no other dng files will display the panel containing sharpness, noise reduction, moire reduction and defringe. Can anyone suggest why this has happened? I've tried updating the sofware and that didn't work.
Cheers,
Damien.

PSE 11 has a new 2012 raw engine but you can switch between the old and the new. In the camera raw dialog click on the camera icon. Then change Process to 2010. Then go back to the basic tab.

Free hand selection tool using Camera Raw?

When using the Camera Raw “Spot Removal Tool” or the “Adjustment Brush”, the selection tool is circular (which makes it difficult many times to select the exact spot). I have to make several smaller circular selections to get the exact area that I want to work on. Is there a way to make a free-hand selection (like you can in Photoshop)?
I am using ACR 6.6.
Thanks to anyone who can help me out.

Just to be clear...this is the Camera Raw forum. The moment you click Open in ACR you have the fill functionality and feature set of Photoshop at your disposal. I think you need to make a much stronger use case for adding completely new functionality that can arguably be done better one step after ACR in Photoshop.
I take thousands of concert photos shot in raw mode. Up until recently, I would process each photo through Camera Raw and then into Photoshop for additional adjustments and save another version of each photo in Photoshop. With the recent improvements to Camera Raw, I have discovered that I can do all my processing in Camera Raw and have no need to go into Photoshop for adjustments (for 99% of the photos). I now save all that storage space (by not having to store 2 versions of each photo) plus my process is streamlined. I have also further automated Camera Raw with an external keystroke macro program to quickly jump to the different sliders. If I was able to have the free hand tool in Camera Raw, I would replace multiple adjustments using small circle selections with one adjustment using a free hand selection saving much time.
Is the above explanation a stronger case?

Crop tool in Camera Raw 8.4 for PS CS6

I recently downloaded camera raw 8.4 for use with photoshop CS6. The crop tool in camera raw now only allows me to crop to a ratio rather than to a specific size. I usually crop to 9x13 or 17x22 inches. How do I get this feature back? I prefer and need to crop my work to a specific size.
Thanks, Jeff D.

Good day!
I notice no difference to prior to 8.4.
But maybe the ACR Forum may be a better place for questions realted to ACR.

No crop tool in camera raw

I have only 8 tools in the Camera RAW toolbar:
Zoom
Hand
White Balance,
Color Sampler
Targeted Adjustment
Spot Removal
Red Eye
Adjustment Brush
Graduated Filter
Radial Filter
I right clicked on the toolbar to see if the Cropping, Straightening, etc. were hidden. Nothing. The only other tool is the Full Screen button.
What's up?
Windows 8.1
I did further research and opened the file from Windows Explorer and the tools are all there. But they're not there when opened from Bridge?????? WTF?
Okay..... more research. The problem was opening a file from Preview. From Filmstrip and Essentials they're all there. So I modified the workspace to look more like Preview, saved it as a new workspace and I'm happy now.
I was thinking of deleting this email, but thought someone else might be running into the same issue.
Thanks
David

If you go to Help > System Info and look at the first line, that will tell you what exact version of Photoshop you have.
If CS6 or above, you might check to see if you are updated to Camera Raw 8.7.1
That would be the first item to look at if you suspect anything wrong.

Can you help with the moire adjustment tool in Camera Raw?

I have a file with a lot of moire on a child's dress and am having problems using camera raw moire adjustment tool.
I opened a jpeg file (not raw) in camera raw. When I use the moire adjustment brush - set to +100 - and click on the eyeglass tool in the window to see the effect - it shows a white overlay.
Clicking the preview button doesn't show up any difference.
I have saved several files as tests but the moire remains unaltered.
Any help appreciated. Or alternatively, suggestions on how to deal with Moire in Photoshop.
Thank you.

If possible deal with the moire issues up front. If you have original re-scan to see if you can reduce effect. If not do a web search for this. There are several tutorials listed such as http://photographylife.com/how-to-remove-moire-in-photoshop
Hope this helps.

Changing brush size in camera raw?

I'm having trouble with changing brush size in the camera raw brush tools.
What I use for input is a scandinavian keyboard and I have to type in alt gr+8 and alt gr+9 instead of brackets.
This works great in Photoshop, but sadly not in Camera Raw.
Is anyone able to help me?

That works well, thanks for this.
Any idea why the brush sizing feature is not similar to Lightroom where you can simply scroll vertically on the Magic Mouse?
Cheers,

Adjustment tools in Camera Raw not working

Downloaded CS 5 and opened Camera Raw, then attempted to use the adjustment tool and received the following message "Unable to create local adjustment. All the local adjustment controls are set to have no effect on the image." Can anyone provide assistance please and thanks?

I had the same problem and tried turning of GPU in Photoshop and in Lightroom which did not work, however in the RAW window when I found the preferences tab which is the tab with the 3 horizontal lines and unchecked GPU there Camera Raw did start working and the blue screen was replaced by my image. Hope this clarifies it more and you get yours to wok also!

Lightroom adjustment brush inconsistent with Camera Raw

I love Lightroom's adjustment brushes, but I find it annoying that I can't use them to take saturation all the way to monochrome, even with the saturation slider turned down all the way. Today, I noticed that in Camera Raw 5.4, the same thing is NOT true - you can remove color completely with an adjustment brush.
Surprised at this difference, I wondered what would happen when I loaded the ACR-adjusted file back into Lightroom. Lo and behold, Lightroom showed the result of the adjustment brush the same way as ACR, with all color removed. Excellent!
But what would happen if I changed that adjustment brush in Lightroom? Would it "forget" what I had done in ACR and revert to its normal behavior? No, it continued to behave just as it had in ACR. But in the same photo, a brush created in Lightroom did not behave the same way. So clearly, it was something to do with which program created the brush.
Then I took a look at my XMP file, and it became (somewhat) clear what's going on. This is one of the XMP attributes for the brush created in ACR:
<crs:MaskValue>1.000000</crs:MaskValue>
And here's the same attribute for the brush created in Lightroom:
<crs:MaskValue>0.375000</crs:MaskValue>
The obvious next question is, what happens if you change MaskValue from 0.375000 to 1.000000? Answer: The brush starts behaving like an ACR brush.
Now, this is kind of cool. I can get the behavior I want in Lightroom, by editing the XMP file by hand. On the other hand, editing XMP files isn't really my favorite thing. Is there some setting in Lightroom that can be used to achieve a MaskValue of 1.000000 for adjustment brushes? I couldn't find one, but hey, there are a lot of settings...

Ian, thank you! It was indeed Density that did the trick. I mistakenly thought Density had nothing to do with it, because you have to set it before you create a new brush stroke. (Each individual stroke of a particular adjustment brush can have a different Density value, along with the other Brush attributes like Size.) So I was changing it for my existing brush strokes, foolishly expecting it to work like the Effect sliders, and seeing no effect.
Jao, my flow was set to 100 all along, so I don't think that was my problem. It really seems to have been Density.

Lens correction tool in Camera Raw 6.0???

I bought Photoshop CS5 last night and got everything loaded up. The first thing I wanted to play with was the lens correction tool that is supposed to be in Camera Raw 6.0. For the life of me, I can not find the barrel distortion corrections and auto CA corrections. I find them in Photoshop, albeit a very limited selection of lenses (Canon's extremely popular EF 16-35L is not even an option) but not Camera Raw. It does not appear to be an option under the lens correction tab. What am I missing?

It will be in 6.1, not 6.0.
See, for example, here:

Radial filter tool in Camera Raw 8.3 does not show

If have updated Camera Raw and do not see the Radial Filter tool in the toolbar next to the Graduated filter tool. Does anybody know what is wrong here?

Are you using CS6? The Radial Filter only comes with CC. You will continue to be able to add ACR updates to CS6, but only with additional camera support, and not the added features that come with CC.
If you wanted to use the Radial Filter to produce vignette, check out the Post Crop vignetting in the FX tab. It produces a wonderfully smooth gradient with lots of control.

Straighten tool Adobe Camera Raw

I am using CS4 and Photoshop is up to date.
When I use the straighten tool in ACR it crashes approx 50% of the time.

My video card is a Nvidia GeForce 8600 GTS amd the PC is a dual core
AMD 6000+ with 3Gb Ram

Hi,
If you open an image in camera raw, draw out the crop tool and then press the Esc key, what happens?
I just messed with it further tonight. It looks like it is working correctly with the 'Crop' tool. However, it is not working correct with the Straighten tool. I use the straighten tool, click enter to straighten the image. If the image does not look correct to me, I click on the straighten tool again and hit the ESC key to revert it back to the original. As soon as I hit the ESC key (while clicked on the straighten tool) it closes out of Adobe Camera RAW and goes back to Adobe Bridge.
Which operating system are you using?
I am using OS X 10.10.1 (Yosemite)
Which version of camera raw are you using?
I am on Adobe Camera RAW Ver. 6.7
Both Photoshop and Bridge are CS5.1
You can see the version listed at the top of the camera raw dialog when not in full screen mode.

Auto scale/crop with lens correction tool in Camera Raw 8.4

Does anyone know if this type of functionality exists in Camera Raw 8.4 similar to the Auto scale function in the lens correction filter? I understand the straighten tool offers this effect but I'm looking for in auto crop or autoscale feature when using the lens correction tool. Thanks in advance!

Good day!
