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

The tab to click on and change the properties for an adjustment layer randomly disappears. Quitting and re-opening the app solves the issue, but it will happen again within minutes, usually when switching between different projects or different app on the computer. 

On Photoshop v26.6 - Mac Mini M4 pro, 32gb ram, 1tb ssd.

 

Any help would be appreciated!

HI @Sameer K

 

concerning v26.9 update in the detail summary, it doesn't list any bugs fixed, so if you have access of that list that will be appreciated,

thanks.

Thanks for the comment, @Kapture benoit. I am unsure what you meant here, but here is the list of fixed issues in Photoshop: https://adobe.ly/4maGAXc

 

I don't see the primary issue in this thread with the variety of steps and workflows shared by everyone with v26.9 and later versions of Photoshop. If you still encounter this in v26.9, please create a numbered list of reproducible steps and record a short video to help us speed this up. 

 

Thanks!

I'm having this isssue as well. I'm not sure if the bug is occuring because I typically have a selection when I create a new H/S adjustment layer (so that a mask is automatically created), or if it's that I use a keyboard shortcut to create one—I don't think so though. My educated guess is that it's related to the updates they made to the panel in 26—not sure which version that was.

Hi All! The issues reported here are likely fixed with Photoshop v26.9 and later. Please test and confirm if the issue exists with Photoshop (Beta). You can get Photoshop (beta) from the Creative Cloud > Apps tab > Beta Apps section. 

 

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks!

置顶回复的办法不管用,等于说这个问题还没解决,自从这个色相饱和度更新形式之后,就有这个问题,和大家的情况一样,我只是在表达,置顶回复的方法不管用。

@Aleke you do realize that the workaround you are suggesting has nothing to do with the issue at hand?

Exactly same bug, appears only on Hue/Saturation layer. And only on this one specific picture. I can create and use H/S layer on the other picture, but when I drag it to first picture, edit panel is replaced by mask panel.
I don't know, problem with memory? Number of layers?

@LYPIN89 What exactly doesn't work? Please be more specific.

Only saying "I doesn't work" doesn't help anybody.
