Hi Luca,

I am not able to reproduce the hang using the steps you've provided. Maybe I'm doing things differently. Could you make a video of your steps and post it?

Hi guys, I would like to know if anyone else still have this issue, with last update (PS 17.0.1 / CC 2015.5.1) it is better however it freezes with further step: Create blank document, create new layer, draw any shape, create new layer, switch to mixed brush, set sample all layers. Paint any shape. Now click on create mask on that layer. CONVERT IMAGE FROM THE RGB PROFILE TO CMYK. Photoshop stop responding.
Anyway it freezes also if you works on an RGB file with mixer brush and you open another CMYK file...
Is quite annoying that after many months, like an age(ice), we can't use mixer brush without be afraid to lose our works. Someone doesn't update PS from version 16.0.1 to avoid this issue...
This is an already known issue that will be solved in the next update?
Thanks,
Luca.


OS X Version 10.11.6

Well, I remember at least 1 update I installed after this message and yet the bug is still there. So basically we've been paying for our subscriptions for a half a year now and have not been able to use our Photoshop all this time. This is very frustrating. I kind of hate you guys for being so slow at resolving this issue.

Yes, I have the exact same issue. PS freezes when using the mixer brush on a layer mask.

I am having the same issue. I am running windows 10 64 bit OS, have updated my graphics driver, and Photoshop is up to date. Each time I try to use the mixer brush with a layer mask Photoshop hangs forever. 

This is frustrating as hell. I have work that has to get finished and I can't use the program I pay money for to do it. *sigh* 

I'm relieved to see that I'm not the only one experiencing this bug. I can see it happening after using the mixer brush and then either switching to an already existing layer mask, or adding any adjustment layer which comes with a layer mask (all of them). Even flattening and saving the document before adding/selecting a layer mask does not help, nor does switching the selected tool (away from the mixer brush). I'm eager for the fix to come out since I just got CC this month and so far I'd be inclined to ask for a refund and go back to CS6.

Can't give an exact date but this will be fixed in the next update. We will update this thread when the update goes live so you get a notification.

Did this get fixed with any update?
