    Have you tried resetting Photoshop preferences and disabling GPU acceleration to see if the crash still occurs? Also, make sure your graphics driver is up to date.

    I have the same problem.  If I switch to the default cropping, there are no errors, but as soon as I try to use “content aware,” it crashes. This is a new behavior since the last update and seems to be tied to the update. Can someone from Adobe please address this issue?

    Hello @divindk,

     

    Sorry to hear you're running into the same issue in Photoshop. To help us dig into it, could you confirm a couple of things: your exact OS and Photoshop versions, and whether this happens only with Content-Aware Fill or with Generative Fill as well?

     

    It would also help to submit a crash report using the steps here (https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/desktop/troubleshoot/troubleshoot-tools-resources/submit-crash-reports.html), as that feeds directly into the investigation.

     

    Looking forward to hearing from you.

    Anubhav

    Yes Generative expand works but that uses up my credits which is a waste for background extensions

    Then you may want to consider more trouble-shooting.

    It is unfortunate that such an issue has come up. 

    Does »Generative Expand« work as expected? 

     

    What have you done for all-purpose trouble-shooting so far?

    Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be a good starting point:
