I dont have harmonize option in my beta photoshop 26.12

I have Photoshop 26.12.0 beta for Macintosh and am amazed: in the ‘Selective Colour Correction’ and ‘Hue/Saturation’ settings, you used to be able to select the colours to be adjusted using keyboard shortcuts, e.g. command+4 for yellow. In the latest beta version, this option is disabled or no longer available, and the settings windows look different. What is going on?

When I upload reference images for generative fill, the tool automatically removes the background and makes the image transparent. How can I disable this feature?

Con la herramienta eliminar fondo, si se tiene una imagen con fondo transparente, no considera al sujeto en la imágen, da por sentado que la imagen ya está con el fondo eliminado y sólo marca la selección de la imagen completa y no elimina el fondo del sujeto.

Photoshop's Select Subject feature automatically detects and selects the main object in an image, making precise selections faster and easier. It's useful for cutting out, extracting, or isolating subjects for tasks like generative fill, composites, effects, or adjustments. Remove Background simplifies background removal with a single click, masking everything except the subject. It uses your Select Subject preference to detect the main subject, then inverts and removes the background.   In April 2025, we updated Select Subject using Cloud processing. We are now working on updating the feature with DEVICE processing. We would love your help in testing and get your feedback!   Similar to the Select Subject and Remove Background Cloud Improvements, the Device improvements include: Better subject detection Exceptional detection, selection, and masking of fine details More accurate selection of edges Better detection, selection, and masking of “holes” in an image Detection,

I was trying to create a surrounding black border with starry glitter using the magic wand. Started with a 1920x1080 black background - increased canvas to 2000x160 px (so I could have an 80px border).Then selected the transparent border area with the magic wand clicked on "generative fill"typed in the prompt "microscopic white glitter star particles scattered on black background, 4k, high detail"clicked on "generate" - all in first image.It began the generative process (with Firefly Image3), and it progressed for 2 seconds and quit and went back to a blank "generative fill" - as if I never typed anything in! Now keeps doing that every time. - 2nd image 

Ao tentar selecionar um objeto ou pessoa, esta selecionando todo o conteudo, em qualquer situaçao, isso ocorreu depois da ultima atualizaçao, pois nao estava desta forma, espero que arrumem logo pois é uma ferramenta rapida e pratica que infelizmente nao esta tendo utilidade...

The remove tool is not doing anything... at all.All I am getting is the shortcut description.I select what I want and hit the button... and nothing.

Today we are releasing Photoshop (Beta) on the desktop 25.9 with a sneak peek at an under-construction feature; Reference Image.Reference Image for Generative Fill and Generative Expand allows you to upload an image of your choice, then Generative Fill uses the content of this visual input as a reference to influence the generated results. This means that the output takes inspiration from the content of your provided image in addition to - or - instead of your prompt. A picture is worth 1000 words!   Reference Image for Generative Fill/Expand works differently than the style-based Reference Image in Generate Image (our new beta Firefly text-to-image feature in Photoshop (Beta) on the desktop 25.9); Generate Image uses Style for references, Generative Fill & Generative Expand use Content.Follow these steps to generate variations using Reference Image: Generate an object or scene using Generative Fill or Generative Expand workflows.  Select the&nbs

Hi everyone,Since five days ago, Generative Fill has stopped working for me in Photoshop Beta (it started on version 26.9). I keep getting the error message: “There was a problem with your request. Please try again later.”I updated to the latest version (26.11), but the error is still there. I noticed something interesting: in the new version there’s an option to switch the Firefly model. If I choose Firefly 1 (2023), everything works fine. But if I use Firefly 3 (2024), I get the same error every time.Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a known issue with Firefly 3, or something on my side (network, account, credits, etc.)? I’d really appreciate any advice, because I specifically need to work with the Firefly 3 model.Thanks in advance!

Hi, reference image was great to create similar backgrounds for a line of products, but now when I add the image it delete the background and only reconice the objet on it , and i can´t generate a similar bacground.... 

Hi I have no access to potoshop beta on my creative cloud in all apps or in pre releases it only illustrator. The region is Georgia creative cloud is up to date  

This latest beta version of Photoshop is totally useless. When I try to use one of my actions, Photoshop completely freezes, I have to force quit & loose everything I had done previously. It happens everytime.  

My original post from a while back seems to have disappeared (or is not searchable at least).Problem: any use of the remove tool causes very long lag (10-15 sec) no matter how tiny the area covered in the remove tool stroke.The results are usable but the tool itself takes too long to use in a regular workflow. This isuue was resolved by installing the 24.7.0 beta for about an hour before it reverted back to the laggy behavior.These are the things I have tried without success:Restting preferencesReverting to previous betaHaving only the layer being worked on visibleSwitching between the two modes (commit after each stroke or not)Switching from sample all layers or not.Deactivating Native canvas and restartingGranting full disk access to Phooshop beta.Using different brush characteristics (build up or not etc)This is so furstrating as the results it returns are fantastic, just that I have to wait forever for each stroke and that is not possible in my workflow.Workaround so far is to disa
