Open an image,  go to Edit> Replace Sky, and the sky is replaced, but no window opens up to choose a sky, and the app freezes, and you have to press Escape to get back into the app.

    Hi ​@vshammer testing here and not seeing this issue.  Make sure you are on the latest Ps Beta: Adobe Photoshop Version: 27.12.0 20260927.m.3691 5144a9c  arm64 (beta, PublicBeta)

    Does this happen with ALL images or just one? Do you see the same issue with Ps Beta or on Ps release version?

     

    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,

    What have you tried?
    Have you restarted Photoshop?

    Your Computer?

     

    So you are not seeing this panel at all?

    Do you have additional skies and if yes, where are they located?  What sort of drive (i.e. M.2, SSD, HDD?)

    How healthy is your OS?

    What are your scratch disk arrangements?  Check for Photoshop Temp files — how big are they? Do they have today’s date?  Delete any orphaned temp files (Photoshop temp files that are still there when you close Photoshop)  I’m assuming you know what you are doing with this.  If not sure, maybe restart Photoshop, or go Edit > Purge > All

    good luck, and let us know how you get on
