I just started using photoshop Beta. I am note sure if this new feuters is just for Beta or the new Photoshop update.

 

But I have a mayor problem with the new gradient tool. I have figured out to restore as much as possible to make the gradient tool go back to preview versions. I not a big fan of the updates of the gradient tool.

 

To the major problem: Now you're not able to see the gradient live preview. It will apear once you relese it only. This makes your workflow very diffuclt, especially when working with masks.

 

Anyone that have manage to fix this?

    I like lots of things in the Beta, but the changes to the Gradient tool are just awful. It's become almost unusable. Mine previews (Mac Os) but I'm used to using it by swiping it several times in quick succession and I can only use it once before stopping and it makes a new separate layer. Humbug!

      Hi @victore9890834 

       

      Try resetting Prefs for the Beta:

      /Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/ Photoshop Beta Settings (Mac Ventura)

      /Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/Adobe\ Photoshop\ \(Beta\)\ Settings (Mac)
      C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop (Beta)\Adobe Photoshop (Beta) Settings )Win)

      Launch BETA Photoshop While Pressing The Keyboard Shortcut

      With Photoshop closed, press and hold Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and then Launch Photoshop the way you normally would.

      It may help if we could see your Photoshop System Info. Launch Photoshop, and select Help >System Info...and copy/paste the text in a reply.
