Photoshop 2027 on macOS: Relight fails to create the preview. Repro: open an image, select an unlocked pixel layer, then choose Layer > New Relight Layer. The same error occurs on a duplicate image. Creative Cloud says Photoshop is up to date.

Title: Photoshop 2027 on macOS: Relight fails to calculate the initial preview

Issue: Relight cannot start because Photoshop fails to calculate the initial lighting preview.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open an image.

  2. Select an unlocked pixel layer.

  3. Choose Layer > New Relight Layer.

Expected result: Relight starts and displays its low-resolution preview.

Actual result: Photoshop starts preparing the lighting preview, then shows this error and closes the Relight session:

“Error al iniciar una sesión de Recuperación de iluminación porque se ha producido un error al calcular una vista previa inicial.”

I also reproduced the same error on a duplicate of the document with the pixel layer unlocked. Creative Cloud says Photoshop is up to date.

Environment: Adobe Photoshop 2027 on macOS.
