P: Liquify with a small marquee selection on a Silicon Mac returns no result.

PS 23.4.2, on a Silicon Mac Studio running Monterey 12.5, As a rule, I've always made a marquee selection slightly larger than the area I plan on liquifying, as historically it takes a great deal less resources and time to bring up the liquify window on large files. In my new silicon Mac set up, liquify goes through all the motions, giving me the proper preview, but upon completion, it returns no result. In frustration, I had resorted to screen capping the preview at 100% and pasting it in my image. Finally I discovered that using a much larger marquee selection would actually return my result. It's a viable workaround, but liquify should work in ANY marquee of any size, as it still does in the most current version on an Intel Mac.

Bug is still here, I am running Ventura / PS2024 / Mac Studio.

Small selection does not work, make the selection much bigger and it works.

Option + Liquify does disable the graphics acceleration for just that Liquify session. My script leaves the acceleration on if the selection is greater than 800 x 800 px, just above the threshold where PS returns no result. This way, you can still reap the benefits of the GPU on the big selections, where you really need it. Then you just remap your favorite shortcut to it.

Here to make known I've had this same problem for months, pre and post my Macbook Pro M1 Max.

 

These two suggestions from this thread produce results with small selections for me:

1. Option + Liquify

2. Turning off "Use Graphics Processor".

 

I'm choosing option #1 so I can keep the Graphics Processor checked on, until it's all sorted out.

Hi @chazcronOMS I'm interested into your script. I can try it while PS try to fix it...

OP here.

 

A message I composed didn't come thru. I apologize if this ends up as a double post.

I had a coworker create a jsx script that disables the GPU for selections smaller than 728 x 728, then turns it back on after returning a result. Otherwise I would have been be stalking this thread regularly.

 

If anyone wants the jsx script, let me know.

 

It's been four months, no fix, not even in 24.0.1
