P: "Achieve non-destructive brush painting" doesn't work! Photoshop 24.6 Stable (not the Beta)

I don't see this in the What's new in photoshop 2024 or documented anywhere on what kinds of

layers are affected and how it's supposed to work.

Can we please have a preference to turn this off.

I don't consider this one as a bug! With the last two update releases, I realized a synchronizer was needed between the "Product Release Team" and the "Release Features Writers Team"! 🥴 

@CShubert  can you take a look at this one. The release capabilities in 24.6 do not match the documentation - it looks like one or the other is out of step

Thanks

@davescm, thank you, Dave! Then this is indeed a bug. Even though I couldn't get it to work based on the Adobe Helpx article either, I thought I was reading the instructions wrong. @TenTin, thank you for pointing this bug out. Hopefully it will be added to the list of fixes for the next release.

@J E L  The new feature is supposed to automatically add a layer rather than prompting that the layer needs to be rasterised, or requiring you to open an SO.

Unfortunately, despite being in the documentation, the feature does not seem to be active in the new version 24.6. It was raised in another thread that I can't find right now, if I do I'll link it.

Edit : It was mentioned in this thread https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/ps-v-24-6-is-out/m-p/13881103#M739843

@TenTin, I sincerely read your title, and your post, several times. I admit confusion and humbly ask that you rephrase your question. Because non-destructive brush painting does work in Photoshop 24.6 Stable… if you convert the layer to a smart object. Which I attempted to point out in my third pass. My apologies for not being able to assist you with your question so far.

Did you read my post title (!)?
