Bug when adjusting exposure and gamma correction

Question

Hi,

I have the latest version of Adobe Photoshop 2026, the Swedish version. When I pick the option to adjust exposure, starting with gamma correction and then going for exposure, the gamma correction automatically jumps down to 0,1, turning the image all black. I've attached a video to showcase this bug. I've never had this issue ever before with any version of Photoshop, and it makes working with photos very, very frustrating right now.

I hope there's a solution for this.

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Fredrik

PhotoShop 27.2.0Windows 11 Home 64bitOn all types of images I found a fix via this thread: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/exposure-adjustment-sets-gamma-correction-to-0-01-automatically-photoshop-v27-x-windows-11/td-p/15569061The solution is: "Edit > Preferences > Technology Previews and uncheck “Enable Modern User Interface” Still, very weird bug.

Hi @fredrik_0624

Thanks for reporting this, Fredrik. That definitely sounds frustrating, and the video is very helpful. To investigate this further, we’ll need a few more details from you:

Exact Photoshop version number (Help > About Photoshop), not just 2026
Operating system.
Does this happen:
- Only with Exposure adjustment layer or also via Image > Adjustments > Exposure?
- On all images or only specific files?
Have you tried the following, and if yes, did it make any difference?
- Disabling Use Graphics Processor (Preferences > Performance)
- Switching the document bit depth (8-bit vs 16-bit)

Also, please confirm whether this issue started immediately after updating to the latest version. We're here to help.

Regards,

Srishti
