In PS 2021, when I use the color range selection tool and then adjust the Fuzziness slider, my computer locks up. Every time. 

 

PS 22.1.0

MacOS 10.15.7

I'm a little surprised you're having an issue because we did fix an issue 22.1 (released last night) where the app appeared to hang with the slider when rulers were enabled in 22.0.1.

Sorry for the lack of detail! It's Photoshop that locks up, not the whole computer.

I just tested by opening up an AI file in PS, and it's working okay. I do have the problem with PNG and TIFF files, though.

The Color Range tool becomes unresponsive, and is forever present in the foreground, no matter what application I switch focus to. The only way to fix is to force quit PS. I don't get this with PS 2020, just 2021. I thought the update today might fix it, but it didn't. Hence, reporting it here. 

Any other questions, I'm happy to help!

The whole computer locks up? If so, do you have to toggle the power to reboot the whole machine?

Or just Photoshop freezes?
