Spin Blur feature not available

  • August 27, 2026

Note: I am working on an Imac Intel 2020, Mac OS Sequoia 15.7.9. with 32GB RAM. I am working in Photoshop v 27.9.1. Have had NO problems running Photoshop……….until NOW! Attempted to use Spin Blur  (Filter > Blur Gallery > Spin Blur). Check “Spin Blur”. NOTHING APPEARS!  In control panel Tabs underneath show:  Effects - Motion Effects - Noise.  (A) When selecting “Effects”, there is the following message: “Available for only Field Blur”   (B) Selecting “Motion Effect”, shows message: “Available only for Path Blue and Spin Blure”.  (C) Selecting “Noise”/Gaussian produces no effect. At no time, under any circumstances does the Spin Blur ‘Control wheel’ (not sure WHAT Adobe calls this gizmo) appear. 

Things I tried and/or considered:  (1) - Reset Blur Gallery - NO help!   (2) - 8-bit vs 16-bit - NO help!  (3) Smart Object (Layer) vs Raster (Layer) - NO help!  Closed PS and re-launched - NO help!  (4) - UN-checked “Use Graphic Processor” - NO help! 

I am at my wits end!!! “””SOMETHING”””” is causing this problem……….but WHAT??? Can anyone with Photoshop technical knowledge please advise?

    Does the control path appear when you tick View > Show > Edit pins ?

      Eureka! - Your question has resulted in success, however, the process is behaving very slowly and somewhat erratically……..but I am now seeing and able to work with the “control path”. I have been using this tutorial video as my guide. Notice that the procedure appears to be working quite smoothly and fast……… 

      and have been basing my efforts on the contents of this video but as I say the procedure is behaving very slowly and erratically. Could this be due to the fact I am working on a 2020 Intel iMac (as opposed to a Mac with a silicon “M” chip). I do have 32GB RAM however, if this means anything.  What about the GPU in my computer? Would you suggest I leave the GPU setting “on” or turn it “off” in PS Settings?

      Basically you have provided the solution. If you prefer not to address my other concerns and/or questions, that would be okay but I would like to hear back from you if you are so inclined. In any event, THANK YOU!

      Basically you have provided the solution and I sincerely appreciate this.

      I doubt that either the Legacy Save As or Legacy gradient settings are the culprit.

       

      Adobe just released an 27.10 update so see if that’s available for you.

       

      Also, if you could post the contents of Help>System Info from within Photoshop, that could hold some clues as to why Spin Blur is not working.

       

      Perhaps a screenshot of what you seeing after going to Filter > Blur Gallery > Spin Blur could help as well.

      I would try a reset of the Photoshop preferences:

        I did this too……...and nothing changed (except of course, any/all changes I made within PS Settings and/or my Workspace.) Your suggestion does bring up a thought, however. Do you think that anything having to do with Legacy might be causing this problem with the Spin Blur feature? For example, I do have Legacy version selected for Gradients. Additionally, in PS Settings under File Handling Preferences, I do have Enable legacy “Save As” checked. Just a thought…………???

        After you select Filter > Blur Gallery > Spin Blur, click on the little arrow just to the left of Spin Blur to show the Blur Angle slider and see if that makes any difference.

        Makes no difference what-so-ever. Also moving the slider left & right has no effect.
