Hi all!

Im trying to resolve something and i need help.

I just made an action in wich i add a adjustment layer (levels) and i change one of the outputs to 80 (while i'm recording). Then i make a couple of othe adjustments like, adding a layer and a fill, then i stop recording.

 

Now here the thing:

When i playback the action it does everything, except to change the value to 80. What could be the issue here? Because when i look in the panel i see the change(see attachment)

 

Thanks in advance

Save your Levels as a preset, and it will fix your action.

Tested and confirmed.

I experienced the same issue in Photoshop 26.0. My current solution is to install an older version of Photoshop (e.g. PTS 22.2), create and save Actions, then load it into the latest Photoshop. Hope Adobe fix this soon. Here is my Actions:

My opinion is that it's a bug.

In the Actions terminology there is no (never was) "gray" channel for grayscale images.

There was always a "black" channel.

They messed something up in the new Photoshops and now Actions for grayscale files may not work.

It works correctly when I test it here, on a grayscale file. Black output is changed correctly when running the action.

 

I notice you say "output" levels - but the action shows that you have actually changed the input slider?
