@livethakly do you see the same issue with the Harmonize functionality in Ps Beta?  Neural filters uses a different technology that Harmonize in the main workspace. Does your system have any issues with this?

Now 2025 and the issue is still happening. Thank god Adobe cares about our experiences 😉 I am on a PC - $5000 Alienware. Every time I use Harmonization, it lets me use it once and occassionaly twice and then I get the same error and I have to close Photoshop and reopen it to use it again. I have a very complicated image, but that is what Photoshop and its layers and groups and all is for, isnt it? Same response from Adobe since '22. We need help guys. This is a bug. Can we get a patch?

This is still happening after all these years... latest version, all drivers updated on a killer machine. Adobe at their best as usual. Meanwhile, Sora etc. are leaving them in the dust.

I'm getting this as well. My project only has 6 layers, only one of which is a smart layer and I'm on an RTX 3070 so it's not an AMD issue.

@CShubert  Hi! I commited to working on a project because this filter was working just fine at the time after I bought the latest mac book pro. Now it has stopped working again and I realize the problem was never my laptop. Is there finally any solution for this?

Any update on this? I literally even invested in a $4k mac book pro to stop this from happening however the nightmare continues. Please I need help. I see the team was working on this in 2022. I would love an update.
