[BUG / REGRESSION] Selective Color degraded after latest update

Hello,

After the latest Photoshop update, the Selective Color adjustment has significantly degraded in terms of precision and usability.

Previously, this tool allowed for extremely fine and controlled color corrections, especially when working in specific color ranges (Reds, Neutrals, Blacks, etc.). It was one of the most reliable tools for subtle, professional-grade color grading.

After the update, I am experiencing the following issues:

• reduced precision in color adjustments
• less predictable behavior of sliders
• difficulty isolating specific color ranges
• overall loss of control compared to previous versions

As a professional photographer, this tool was a core part of my workflow. In its current state, it is no longer reliable for high-end color work.

 

This is not a minor change — it fundamentally affects color grading quality and consistency.

Please confirm whether this is:
• an intentional change
• a known bug
• or a regression that will be fixed

If needed, I can provide before/after comparisons.

 

Best regards,
Magdalena Adamczewska

    I’m not seeing any difference in behavior here. Please provide specific comparisons.
