Just got the new update for Photoshop v23.0. I cannot use the object seletion tool anymore without Photoshop crashing after a few steps.

FYI: I can use the Object Selection Tool fine in Photoshop V22.5.8 but NOT in 23.5.1

Not sure the issue is JUST related to Photoshop and the OBJECT Selection Tool.
I also use Luminar NEO, and when I use certain features - such as the Sky Replacement Tool or Face Bokeh, the PC automatically restarts, which is what happens in Photoshop using the Object Selection Tool.

NOTE: I had the issue in Photoshop before I installed and started using Luminar Neo.

Thank you, Avalent and Bostjan. I figured the suggestion to upgrade the CPU was garbage.

I am able to use the legacy Select and Mask interface in the top menu in PS by holding the shift key  down and choosing that.

I can refine the mask there.

Until the bug gets fixed, I'll be using that.

@Bostjan5E15 Obviously, Photoshop in 2022 has improved performance, but apart from that, there have been many aggressive bugs in the year. Even if you don't use the object selection tool and select subject, pressing the keyboard W key related to the selection causes a crash and damage to the file, so I was able to temporarily change the above two functions to CPU in version 23.5. (Of course, but very slow)

It's not just that.

This is what I reported before and it was the most aggressive bug of 2022. How awful it was, I completely excluded 23.4 from the official release. Even if I try to download it now, I can't. It was an interesting bug that damaged the image itself.

Anyway, what I'm saying is that Photoshop 2022 hasn't been fully available for nearly a year because most of the features involved in selection, as well as those aggressive bugs, have crashed. Than you think it is the time that is very, very long.
I used Photoshop in CS version before CC subscription Photoshop, but I have never been unable to use any function due to a crash for nearly a year.

But you know what? The beta version now is 24.0. That means the next version is Photoshop 2023, not an update from 2022.
These crashes and bugs will be fixed one day, and they'll be stable, but... I think it was one of the best photoshop versions in the future.
That every build in 2022 is almost unusable...(23.0~23.4.2). (23.5~23.5.1 is just CPU mode version to avoid crash temporarily, too slow compared to 2021 and 2020 versions)

If Nvidia/Adobe would actually work together more and dedicate more manpower to bug solving, it would benefit all. Because the number of bugs in Adobe products (and I do love them, the products) is over the limit and you simply never know when there will be a crash, a freeze, reboot. Of course Microsoft plays a part too.

This is not a CPU problem. It's just an issue of Nvidia and Photoshop.

 

There are many people in the Adobe community. Adobe employees, volunteers Adobe professionals, and the rest of the public.
You can get a lot of information and a variety of answers, but you need to know how to judge inaccurate information yourself.

Agreed. Exactly why I decided to post my config. CPU has nothing much to do in this case indeed.

Oh no it wasn't, but thanl Adobe that clicking on Reply on someone's post does absolutely nothing in regards to tagging said user/reply 🙂

 

Scroll a few posts up, someone pompously recommended it's a cpu issue and it made anothrre user ask what cpu to buy. That's malicious.

If this is referred to my post, I'd like to clarify that my post is intended as a confirmation that even having expensive PC with hardly any bottlenecks in the configuration does NOT help with the current issue discussed. Nothing malicious about it.

Please don't ever post like this again.

 

Telling people to upgrade heir hardware on generic hearsay and acting like it's the solution with zero proof or reading the other posts in which people clearly state having modern and expensive hardware setup is just malicious.

Nothing works. My PC is high perf. with 5950x, 128gb ram ddr4, 2 tb pice4 SSD, RTX3090, water cooled. 

The issue remains.
