P: (CB 10031962) Photoshop Crashing When Using Adjustment Curves

  • November 4, 2024

Photoshop is constantly crashing when I adjust an adjustment curve. This problem has got much worse to the point where I can no longer use adjustment layers!

 

I'm using Apple Mac Book Pro M1 Max 

 

I have done a clean Photoshop install and replaced my preference file.

 

I am on the latest Mac os Sequoia 15.1 (24B83)

 

I am on the latest Photoshop 26.0

 

I have nothing else running and still, it crashes.

 

Any ideas?

I'm hoping to narrow down any commonalities in our setups as it seems the 4 of us are experiencing this bug so frequently.  Are any of you using mulitple external monitors or a Caldigit TS-4 Dock?

Agreed, I have 1.3TB free and get this crash on average 2-3 times a day. Often the crash does not even prompt the photoshop crash report dialogue to appear which makes submitting one impossible

I don't think so, I have plenty of space, 350gb and the crash happens.

It hasn't happened since I created space on my hard drive, so I'm assuming this solves the issue??

I've done both with the same results

I've been submitting reports whenever this happens to me too. It's driving me mad how often this happens.

I've also just had another crash on the latest Photoshop. I've tried everything suggested and nothing seems to fix this bug

Another identical crash today on the latest version of Photoshop (26.1)

 

Another crash log attached here.

If I open an image, create a new empty layer on it. Do some healing on the empty layer, then create a Curves Adjustment Layer, the moment I grab a point on the curves, Photoshop crashes.

I'm using 16" M1 Max MacBook Pro, and Photoshop 26.1.0 but it happened to me before on older versions as well. 

It happened to me at least 5-6 times. There was a time when I worked a lot on a photo and then the Curves layer crushed Photoshop and I was never been able to recover the work I did.

Sometimes I can recreate the problem to test it, sometimes I'm not but I was able to recreate 3 times in a row.

Hi Gabor,

I've tried to replicate this:

 You mean like this yes?

 

No issues here with my mac:

Sequoia 15, iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019),
3.7 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i5,
40 GB 2667 MHz DDR4,
Radeon Pro 580X 8 GB
 
Best regards, Euan.
