Title: Photoshop Beta displays oversaturated green colors with GPU enabled on wide-gamut EIZO CS270

Photoshop version: 27.11 Beta
OS: Windows 11
Monitor: EIZO CS270, connected via DisplayPort
Monitor calibration: freshly calibrated with current Calibrite/X-Rite software; current ICC monitor profile is installed and set as default in Windows
Image color space: Adobe RGB (1998), 16-bit

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open an Adobe RGB RAW photograph in Camera Raw.

  2. Use Adobe RGB (1998), 16-bit as the Camera Raw output settings.

  3. Open the image in Photoshop Beta 27.11.

  4. Compare the image displayed in Camera Raw with the same image displayed in Photoshop.

  5. GPU is enabled in Photoshop Preferences > Performance.

Expected result:
The image should have the same appearance in Camera Raw and Photoshop.

Actual result:
With GPU enabled, Photoshop Beta displays the image with noticeably more saturated greens than Camera Raw. The difference is particularly visible in green areas.

Important diagnostic result:
When "Use Graphics Processor" is disabled in Photoshop Beta, the colors become correct and match Camera Raw.

The same image, monitor, ICC profile and color-management settings are correct in the regular Photoshop 2026 release. The color discrepancy occurs only in Photoshop Beta when GPU acceleration is enabled.

Color-management settings:

  • Photoshop RGB working space: Adobe RGB (1998)

  • Color Management Policy: Preserve Embedded Profiles

  • Proof Colors: OFF

  • Document profile: Adobe RGB (1998)

  • Monitor ICC profile: EIZO CS270 profile created today by Calibrite/X-Rite

This strongly suggests a GPU-related color-management/rendering problem in Photoshop Beta.

    Hi all, this was fixed and is in the current Ps Beta release: Adobe Photoshop Version: 27.11.0 20260809.m.3632 2f38064  arm64 (beta, PublicBeta)

    Please make sure to update and confirm this issue is not showing for you.

    Hi 

    Thanks for the update

    I updated to that version and enabled "Use Graphics Processor."
    The problem persists even after a computer restart — see the video bellow. 

    Note: recording with the Snipping Tool did not actually capture the shift of the dark grey to less grey, so this video was filmed with my phone instead (sorry for the quality). You can see it in the first 2 seconds of the video, and again at the very end after opening a smart object layer. I also attached an image with yellow marking where it’s visible, just in case.

    @petrar2320752 thanks for that.

    1. Try resetting Prefs for the Beta:
    /Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/ Photoshop Beta Settings (Mac Ventura)
    /Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/Adobe\ Photoshop\ \(Beta\)\ Settings (Mac)


    C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop (Beta)\Adobe Photoshop (Beta) Settings


    Launch BETA Photoshop While Pressing The Keyboard Shortcut
    With Photoshop closed, press and hold Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and then Launch Photoshop the way you normally would.

    2. It may help if we could see your Photoshop beta System Info. Launch Photoshop beta, and select Help >System Info...and copy/paste the text in a reply.  

    Thanks,

    Hi

    Very similar issue. odd color shifts only in this photoshop beta version. 

    My images are shifting colors, noticeable back and forth, mostly in the black areas while working on it.
