P: Photoshop Beta Generate Image only produces a black images.

Hello everybody

So, the latest Photoshop Beta 25.9 m.2603 update which introduced the Generate Image and Reference Image features is not working for me. I'm on Windows 10 and a high-end PC by the way.

 

Whenever I use the Generate Image feature, I get a black layer as a result.

No matter what options I choose or what the prompt is.

Even if I choose no options at all.

 

It simply doesn't work. I just get 3 black options to choose from (see attached screenshot).

 

Needs to be fixed asap.

 

Thank you.

Thank you for letting us know @olehd16178664 about the Eye Candy plugin issue... since Ps beta does not support third party plugins, it is up to the developer to update their apps and most will not do that for betas, but it would be interesting to know if the Ps release version has this issue or not... if so, then it might be good to reach out to them to see what their update plans are.

 

Glad to hear you are back up with Ps beta though.

 

Thanks,

Hey @CShubert , It looks like I have discovered the source of the problem 🙂

I took your advice (above) and launched Photoshop without third-party plugins (it was Eye Candy 7) - and “Generate Image” works correctly!
But it's a bit sad because the Eye Candy 7 plugins are very useful and I use them periodically.... (

No, @CShubert, unfortunately, even after rebooting and “Check for updates,” the CCD still only offers version 25.11
Perhaps somewhere the ability to see beta versions of Photoshop is disabled?

What’s interesting is that on my home computer, the same Photoshop version 25.11 works great.
And the "Generate Image" function works correctly.
The problem is only on a work computer in the office.
Differences in corporate network access settings
or computer configuration (video card? drivers?)

@olehd16178664 if you click on the text that says Check for Update, that will go out and pull in the latest. You can also try logging out of CCD and then back in, sometimes depending on region/location things take a bit longer...

 

Let us know if you are able to see the new Ps beta.

@olehd16178664 do you see the same thing with Adobe Photoshop Version: 25.12.0 20240722.m.2708 7e0e5ce arm64 that was released today?

Could it be related to network access settings or the video card's properties?
