Deselect does not work

If I select something and I go to Delselect, I get an error that reads "Could not complete the Deselect command due to a program error"

Correct answer diamond-cat

I opened it while holding the Shft+Ctrl+Alt and it is working fine now. I had dropped something on the keyboard earlier and a few of my menus went away. I wonder if that caused the issue. Thanks for the help.

Hi @diamond-cat please share your workflow and any screenshots of what you see, the error, etc.

 

1. 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


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.

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

 

Thanks,
