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

I’m trying to generate an image using the reference image option, but it’s not working. The icon is visible, but when I try to open it, nothing happens.

I have downloaded the Beta app this morning and I still can't see an option to add a reference image. What am I missing?

Good Day,

I cannot use Generative fill since the last update (26.7.0). It opens and you cannot write in the prompt box at all. If you try to Generate using only a reference picture you get the message: Something went wrong. Please try again. If you try to Generate with no prompt and no picture, you get the same error message.

 

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app and restarted everything.

 

I am using Windowss 11.

 

Please correct this quickly. I need the reference picture for generative fill that my regular Photoahop does not offer yet and I need to work daily.

 

Much Thanks,

Ms. Cynthia Macdonald
