P: Reference image upload not working in Photoshop Beta 26.11

Hi everyone,

I’m having an issue with Photoshop Beta version 26.11: the reference image upload feature (used in Generate Image / Generative Fill) stopped working.

What I’ve tried so far:

  • Uninstalling and reinstalling Photoshop Beta;
  • Updating via Creative Cloud (currently on version 26.11);
  • Testing in different files/projects;
  • Checking system permissions.

None of these worked.

System configuration:

  • OS: Windows 11 Pro 64-bit
  • GPU: [insert your GPU model, e.g. NVIDIA RTX 3060]
  • RAM: [e.g. 16 GB]

Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Is there a temporary workaround or is Adobe already investigating this bug?

Thanks,
Jobson

@Wrivium 

 

I've already told you a couple of times to uninstall 26.11 and downgrade to 26.10. You should read the answers before asking.

I need to do very specific work changing a player’s clothes to a team jersey using a reference image, but the button to upload the image is grayed out. I’ve tried with images in different formats, using both the official and the beta version, but I’m having the same issue. It keeps asking me to switch to Firefly Image 3, but that’s already the one I’m using.

Go to Creative Cloud, uninstall 26.11 versión, and install 26.10.
