Photoshop closes without warning during editing of large Hasselblad TIFF/PSB files. Crashes frequently occur while using Magnetic Lasso. Event Viewer identified Nik Collection 8 Palette.8li as the faulting module in at least one crash. Issue persists after Photoshop preference resets and NVIDIA driver updates. Loss of recent editing work occurs.
