Photoshop 26.1 Crashing With Remove Tool

The new Photoshop 26.1 crashes when using the Remove Tool. More specifically, when the "Removing Area" loading bar appears, the application closes before it completes. I tested with the AI mode both "on" and "off", and the issue occurred in both cases. The crash is not immediate, as the tool sometimes works without problems, but the error has been consistently recurring across multiple files.
I'm running Photoshop on MacOs Sequoia with a M2 Mac. On preferences, changing the Remove Tool Processing from "Faster" to "More Stable" didn't make any difference on the issue.

Same for me, 5 crashs tonight after the update.

I reverted to the previous version; this one is unusable.

Same thing with me after i updated. Happened on both ps 2025 26.1 and beta 26.1.2. Nothing seem to fix it including restart and changing the processing to more stable. I reverted to ps 2025 older version which is 26.0 (i did it from creative cloud) and it fixed the issue. Let me know if you can try this and if it works for you

I reverted back to 25.9.1. I felt some stuttering with 26. After some time working its starts to freeze and I get too many spinning wheels, and the AI seems worse too. 25.10-25.12 versions have a problem with legacy healing tool, so 25.9.1 is my safe place for now.

I have the very same problem. Mine crashes immediately upon using the remove tool. It doesn't even complete its task. I just updated this morning to Photoshop 26.1, running it on Mac OS Sequoia 15.1.1, M1.

Update: I went and changed Remove tool image processing to more stable, restarted Photoshop...that fixed it for me. Sorry @Cerezine that did not fix it for you.

Glad that at least it worked for someone! I noticed that in low-res files (2500px), the the remove tool works fine (PS still crashes, but less frequently). But when working on larger files (6500px+), it's almost certain that it will close 😞
