Photoshop (Beta) 27.5

Windows 11

When I am cleaning up scratches and dirt, the program will suddenly stop as if I had selected cancel and didn’t have any changes, but Bridge stops in the meantime.  I am working on a .tif file.  I can’t make a screenshot because it doesn’t do it consistently, and it doesn’t do every time.  Besides, when it does go away, there isn’t any photo left. It does this in Beta and the regular Photoshop 27.4.  I have been having to keep selecting ‘Done’ after I clean up three or four scratches because if I do more, it suddenly disappears.  And then I have to start over with Bridge that also stopped.  Although it has happened before, not like it does now.  I can’t even get one photo done because it is doing that consistently.  I should be able to clean up the whole image before I have press ‘Done’ and have the whole image cleaned up.  I have been doing this for a number of years, but it has had this problem for about a month now.  The problem might be in Bridge because Bridge goes out when I am in RAW and it goes out.  Here is a portion of the photo so you can see the scratches on the photo.

    @Wildcat500 you’d be better off reporting the issue on the Photoshop Beta forum

    Thank you for your suggestion.  I put the report in Beta, and I learned that it isn’t nice if you have the same title on the report.
