P: Cannot add color balance adjustment layer in Lab mode

Looks like a bug in CC2017 (CS6 and CC2015.5.1 work correctly)

 

When in Lab image mode, a color balance adjustment layer cannot be added.
Image adjustments color balance does work - but that loses the ability to go back and re-adjust

Seriously? $240 a year, just upgraded from CS6, and now I can't open my old .psd files because they have color balance layers and I always work in Lab mode. Do you guys beta test?

Looks like you're right. I rarely use that adjustment in any color mode, but it certainly doesn't add an adjustment layer in LAB mode. I'm on a Mac running Yosemite, so this isn't something we can blame on Sierra.

Crossposting from the general discussion thread:


I was wondering if anyone else was having this issue or if it's just my end.

 

I tried making a color balance adjustment layer in LAB Mode and was given this error.

"Could not complete your request because that content type is not supported for this color mode"

Steps Taken:

Reset Photoshop Preferences - Problem Still occurred

Reinstalled Photoshop CC2017 - Problem Still occurred

Tried using CC 2015/2015.5 - No issues.

Opened PSD in 2017 which included a Color Balance Adjustment Layer from 2015/2015.5 - Was issued the following prompt:

"This document contains unknown data which will be discarded to keep layers editable. To preserve the original appearance instead, choose Flatten to load composite data as a flattened image."
