I am having issues with the new upgrade to Photoshop CC 2015 on Mac El Captain. The only thing I did was upgrade from a working CC 2015 to the new version. Using the liquify tool give the following look. There is a box around the area liquified that is lighter than the other areas. When I turn of Use Acceleration in Graphics Processor, it is better but .... I didn't have to do this in the prior version i.e.. Yesterday.

New Update: The Squiggly waist is the liquified:

    2015.1 update has now broken the liquify tool when working with 16-bit images.

    Simply open a 16-bit image, liquify, hit OK and see what happens. (Tested on El-Capitan and Yosemite, Nvidia GPU's). The problem has also been reported on Windows systems and is well documented here:

    in Windows, you cannot hit alt without it exiting out of the menu. The solution I've found is to just use the Ctrl+F command for last used Filter combined with Alt... so Alt+Ctrl+F and then it disables the Graphics Accel

    Same Issue since the latest update. I converted the document to 8-bit as the workaround suggested and did the trick. i'll be patiently waiting for a fix.

    Why all of us should be a free beta-testers of all new releases? I expect, as many other licensed users, a kind of compensation from Adobe for all inconvenience resulted with lots of bugs.

    I just spoke to the engineer that wrote Liquify and he stated it is 16bit in and 16bit out.

    This fix is just not good enough for a professional work. WTF Adobe??? I'm very frustrated. slowly but surely the software is not worth the price 😞

    I wouldn't like to find out after this problem that the liquify filter is converting 16bit images to 8bits and then re-sampling back to 16bit (which is what I'm starting to suspect)... that would be cheating like WV.
