P: When I am brushin on a mask, the option to switch between black and white stops working and I can only brush in or out.

Closing in on a month of this. Still having this issue of switching to the mask layer and not having pure black / white be the default. Instead, the existing swatches are being inherited and converted to their grayscale equivalents.

I recently thought I was painting with pure black, but it turned out that it was dark gray (due to this bug). I only caught this because I had the mask layer as the only visible layer and noticed that it was still faintly visible after being brushed.

I am having the same frustrating problem - brush stuck in same color. And nope, no workarounds or step-by-step solutions are working.

I feel like they’re vibe coding photoshop now. I downloaded the Art Craft suite. Wow.

It thinks the app has been updated 4 times, and this problem is getting worse.

ive had some success with switching off the new Modern Color Interface (preferences - >  Interface).  I dont really think this is very well implemented so far, and switching it off does tend to improve the issue

indeed, after updating to the latest beta, i had hoped such a fundamental oversight would be fixed.  Unfortunatley not, possibly even worse than before.  Im sad to see not any comms from the team regarding this. ​@CShubert is usually active around here for issues, but not this as far i have seen

Same issue, seems to be getting worse. Manually changing color doesn’t work, just always stuck on #FFFFFF. Even restarting the app isn’t working now and it was for some projects. Eraser trick does work though.

In my particular use case it seems to trigger much more frequently when trying to mask Generative Fill layers, but even rasterizing them isn’t a guarantee it won’t happen.

This has been happening with Photoshop Beta with every active update for the last month or so, each update I hope fixes it but it seems Adobe is prioritizing other things while they let decades-old features we rely on decay.

Yes! this is driving me so crazy. please fix this it’s the main tool and interaction I do with PS and I’m essentially stuck on many projects right now

Same problem here.

nothing suggested works its driving me insane. THis seems pretty basic its been in Photoshop for 30 years, whats going on
