System Info:
-OS: macOS Tahoe 26.1
-Hardware: Apple M2 Max (Apple Silicon)
-Photoshop Version: 27.5 / 27.6 beta
Description:
The new Adjustments Panel (UXP-based) fails to save or preview custom presets if the Green channel of a Curves layer has been modified. This happens even with a neutral point (Input 128 / Output 128).
Steps to Reproduce:
-Create a new RGB document (8 or 16 bits).
-Add a Curves Adjustment Layer.
-Modify only the Green Channel (even a neutral point like 128/128).
-Try to save as a new Preset using the (+) icon in the Adjustments Panel.
Actual Result:
The thumbnail appears with a red diagonal line and the preset is not functional. The folder ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop [Version]/Presets/Adjustment Presets remains empty (no .psap file created).
Expected Result:
The preset should be saved correctly, as it does with Red and Blue channels.
Additional Discoveries (Key for Devs):
-The bug occurs only in the Curves adjustment layer.
-The bug does not occur in Lab Color mode (modifying the 'a' channel works fine).
-The bug does not occur when saving via the old Properties menu (Save Curves Preset... as .acv).
It seems to be a serialization error specifically linked to the Green channel index in the new UXP Adjustments Panel.
