The longer PS Beta remains open, the more memory it uses until the point where my system can no longer support it. Closing and reopening PS Beta solves the problem, but then it will occur again. Here are some details:System: Mac Studio: 64G RAMOS: 15.6.1PS Beta Version: 26.12.0When first opened, PS Beta uses a little over 7G RAM after a few hours it is now 20.52G and that number will continue to increase until I have no free RAM. Quitting PS Beta and reopening it will bring it back to about 7G, but then the process repeats. Thanks for listening...Dan

Hello!I often use Generative Fill or Content-Aware Fill to remove distracting objects from backgrounds. Normally, leaving the Generative Fill prompt blank works perfectly, blending the area seamlessly. After updating to Photoshop Beta 26.12, both tools are now producing weird blobs inside the selection instead of removing the object. I've attached a before and after. I’ve tried prompts like "blank" or "remove object", but the results are worse than leaving it blank. I've never had issues with either function until today.  Has anyone else run into this?  Thanks,
Dustin

Tried a couple of different images, different parametric filters.  Either crashes when adding the filter, or when trying to open to change parameters.  Mac M1 Ultra - Sequoia 15.6.1

My Photoshop Beta has recently started crashing on opening.   Hitting reopen just does the same.  I have rebooted and I have also updated it to the most current version.  I can, on rare occasion, get it to open.  Help Please.  

I updated PS Beta to v.26.12 (20250911.m.3216) on 9/12/25 and now when I try to open it ,it gets stuck at 'Buliding color conversion tables' and will not open. Everything was running fine until I did the update. Please help!Desktop Running Windows 11

Hi All, Is it normal not to have the ability to create ACTIONS in BETA ? Sincerely. Disregard. Solution found.    

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....
