P: Liquify lightens result on 16 bit/channel images

after all the edits finished but only liquify left I turn to 8 bit.. the only solution worked for me was this..

Or you could just roll back to cc 2015 0.1 and just work normally

There is if you intend to create more adjustment layers that use 16 bits, like curves, although, for most, standard workflow is to liquify as the last step.

So you could duplicate the document, flatten and convert to 8 bits for liquifying and then move the liquified 8bit layer to your complete 16bit document.

If I can suggest a solution just roll back to the previous version of Photoshop and you can continue working normally

I'm having the same problem, and I just found this topic after quite some searching. So this is not my computer but a software problem, we do need this fixed asap.
I can't touch anything without changing the contrast locally.
Changing to 8-bit doesn't do much, only completely disabling the GPU works 😕😕

If you convert to 8 bit there is no point on going back to 16

The only way it works for me is finishing everything and using liquify at the end.. I make the image 8 bit than liquify then make it 16 bit again and save.. this is heavy workload when you work with 1000 raws.. Fix it please..

make 8 bit liquify then 16 bit again.. nothing but workload..

After I installed the latest photoshop update, the liquify tool start having issue with 16 bit images.
I was editing 16bit Tiff file and whenever I use liquify on any part of the image, it will linear dodge the section modified and generate a lightened rectangular section. I tried on 8bit images, and this issue didn't occur.
I saw in another post, people suggested using Alt + Liquify to disable GPU and the problem didn't occur.
Hope to see update fixing this issue soon...

Do as I did and roll back to the previous release until they get their act together
