P: Photoshp Beta (25.4.0.2439) Program Error when Duplicating Layer to different document

fixed in Adobe Photoshop Version: 25.5.0 20240118.m.2471 fdb70b5 x64

A standard solution: If the error significantly hinders your workflow, consider using a stable, non-beta version of Photoshop until a fix is released.

Decided to do my compositing on the regular PS (not Beta).  I suppose at some point move tools will be debugged on the Beta - it's such a fundamental part of PS.  Thanks for the replies, I am sure it will be elivated because of all our comments.  

@jane-e Thanks for the tip! xD

Use the current version of Photoshop 2024 (released), which is 25.3.1.

I found this, Chuck: 

Adobe does tell us that "while Generative Fill and Generative Expand will still be available for use in the Photoshop (beta) app, the content generated in the Photoshop (beta) app may not be used for commercial purposes"

@Stu32314935j7it It was fine in 2434, then broken in 2439, then again fine in 2455 and then broken in 2462 and 2464.

The beta releases started resembling nightly builds released with not much internal testing at all.

I'm fine with testing those releases, provided there is a direct and timely response from Adobe - is the bug confirmed, reproducible, will it be fixed, etc..

I've reported many bugs (including this one which was merged into a bug reported later by some other user), some of them fixed without any response or acknowledgement from Adobe (like broken gradient map in production (non-beta) Photoshop which prevented opening PSD files). Sometimes it seems like I'm screaming into the void...

Some bugs are a game stopper. There have been a few, where I stopped using the beta version until that bug was fixed. Perhaps that will make Adobe move faster on the bugs that are critical. But if you can't work, then don't use the beta. I don't recall if they still do this, but Adobe used to tell us that the beta and prerelease versions were not for production work.
