P: Adjusting layer properties doesn't work for Hue/Saturation/lum. HSL layers

This issue is so annoying - I get it intermittently too, usually when I’m in a hurry to finish some work (of course).  It’s happening again today… The first time it happened (over a year ago) I assumed it was me as I was still ‘relatively’ new to PS so it’s disappointing to read that this has been a known issue for so long - especially considering the subscription price.

Why is the hue and saturation layer behaving this strangely? Is this normal? Am I doing something wrong?

This does my head in and adds countless hours to workload having to constantly save and quit and reopen. It’s been a known bug for well over a year, why is this not being fixed?? We’ve had multiple updates with new features but why not fix these issues? This might push me to other software very soon.

Still happening - come on adobe - sort this out ...

This has been going on for so long… I will have completed Grand Theft Auto 6 before they fix this! It happens constantly and this is a tool I use all the time! Pull your fingers out!

This has been an ongoing thread that Adobe keep stating they have acknowledged, yet its been nearly a year without a fix.

You have had the entire community tell you over and over again how to replicate this bug.

Its a vital tool as per post

It requires a full reboot of the software, in 2026, to sort, this is inexcuseable.

I want to know why no one from Adobe is actually doing anyting about this. Who signed this off as acknowledged? Do you know you have to actually you know, go then do something, or it sits in limbo? Thats kind of what acknowledgement means. 

Ive posted about this myself at leats 5 times now. Everyone is fed up with the lack of action.

For the 50th time, seeing as it keeps getting ignored, this bug happens when layers are merged. then the tool breaks. go into the software, duplicate your layer, then merge them, then try make a hue saturation layer. 

Its the easiest bug to replicate. A year of investigation, or lack of.

Sounds like corrupt preferences. Resetting preferences returns the application to clean, out-of-the-box factory state.

Corrupt preferences can cause erratic behavior that usually looks like application bugs. Preferences are vulnerable to corruption because they are rewritten on every application exit.

Sometimes when I add a hue/saturation adjustment panel I am given a “mask” layer, instead of the H/S/L adjustment. I need to stop what I am doing and reset photoshop in order to get the adjustment panel. “Updating Photoshop” does not fix the problem. I’ve been dealing with this for months.

Have to reboot photoshop EVRY time to get this to work. Ridiculous.

I’m having this issue in the latest version, I see that this post is 10 months old. How is this bug still active?
