P: program error (558e76.312): Stamp Visible

Cmd+Opt+Shift+E (Stamp Visible / Merge Visible) fails with program error (558e76.312).

Additionally, dragging assets from Libraries into the canvas also fails with the same error.

This worked previously and still works in regular Photoshop (non-Beta).

Occurs even when:
- All layers are rasterized
- No Smart Objects present
- No Generative layers
- No Adjustment layers
- GPU enabled or disabled

This breaks core professional workflows using Clone Stamp, Healing, Liquify, and Libraries.
This appears to be a regression introduced in the latest Photoshop Beta update.

    Hello,
     
    I frequently encounter an error when using the Merge Visible Layers (Stamp Visible) command.
    Exact error message:Unable to complete the Merge Visible Layers command due to a program error (558e76.312)
     
    Shortcut used:
    CMD + ALT + SHIFT + E
     
    Configuration:
    Photoshop Beta 27.3.0
    macOS 26.2
     
    The issue does not occur every time but happens quite often, especially on large files with many layers.
    It did not occur in previous versions.

      Was working fine a few days ago. Went to use it today and get the following error:

       

      Could not use the magic eraser because of a program error (239843.609).

      Hi @rawritsemz 

       

      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 @Kevin B- Twin Falls! Thank you for reaching out! I'll help you with this. Could you please share the version of Photoshop you're on and the version of your operating system?

       

      - Try resetting the tool: Right-click on the Magic Eraser tool icon (top left) and click on Reset Tool.

      - Try resetting all tools: Right-click on the same icon and click Reset All Tools.


      Thanks a bunch!
