Photoshop Beta 27.9 on Apple MBP M1 Max running OSX Tahoe 26.5.2

When I look at an image in Lightroom it looks as it should, however when I open it in Photoshop it appears very bright, as if a curves or gamma has been applied to it. If I open the “covert to profile” menu the preview looks normal. If I turn proof colors on it appears as it should. However with proofing off it returns to it’s very bright state. Same as with anything that shows a preview, preview looks normal. I tried Sony ARW raw files and tif’s, no difference.

It was ok on Friday, problem started with open today, July 13th.

See attached screenshots

Any advice on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi all, the team is aware of this and working on a fix. The workaround for now is to go to Preference/and either checking or unchecking Precise Color Management for HDR display, turning off Use graphic processor or turning off Preference/Technology Previews/ Precise Color Management.

Here is another thread talking about the same issue:

Thanks,

Yes, I’m having the same issue with Photoshop Beta 27.9, and yes, if I open the image in Photoshop 27.8, it appears fine.

I have opened the same files in Photoshop 27.8.0 and the previous version of Photoshop Beta 27.8.0 and the image is fine. So I think we can conclude that this issue is specific to PS Beta 27.9 on OSX Tahoe 26.5.2

Has anyone else seen this on a different OS?
