P: Photoshop 23.2 freezes on macOS while changing layer styles/opacity on a PSB file

Using macOS (latest version) on an iMac Pro. Changing the opacity on a PSB freezes up the program for 5 to 10 minutes at a time where you cannot do anything in the program. No spinning beach ball, just stuck on the arrow with no ability to cancel, exit, or do anything. Just started after I updated. Super wierd, but problematic.

    Hi,

     

    We're sorry about the trouble with Photoshop 23.2. Please try disabling the option to Use Graphics Processor by going to Preferences, then Performance. Once done, relaunch Photoshop to check if it helps.

     

    If the issue persists, you can try to reset the preferences of Photoshop manually using the steps mentioned here: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#Manually

    Please backup your settings prior to resetting the preferences. You can check: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#BackupPhotoshoppreferences

     

    Let us know how it goes!

    Regards,

    Nikunj

    following today's update to 23.2.0 Photoshop is freezing when I attempt to adjust a layer mask with a curve, as seen in attached image . Restarted app several times, also restarted iMac w/Monterey 12.2.1 to no avail.

      me again—attempting using workarounds to achieve my desired effects, but it seems if I use any adjustment layers, when I go to make adjustments using the adjustment layers Photoshop crashes.
