How to change the default output on the neural filter?

I'm wondering if there is any way to change the default output on the neural filter? As discussed in this thread, the default output is Current Layer. This doesn't work at all with my own workflow, and I'd like to be able to change (and keep) the default as New Layer Masked. In the linked thread, it was mentioned that once you change the output in the filter, that Photoshop will use that as a default until restarted. This has NOT been my experience. I have to change the output every single work day, without having restarted or quit the program. In fact, just now, I was in the middle of working on a photoset, and Ps changed the output back to Current Layer. This is obviously pretty aggravating, and I was wondering if there have been any updates to fix this issue, or better, plans to add an output default to Preferences? Thanks in advance.

Hi Mike, I've tried to recreate what you described on Photoshop v24 & macOS 12.5. The option behaves sticky & continued to be New Layer after closing Photoshop & opening an unrelated/different file. What version of Photoshop & macOS are you working on? Is it an Intel-based or an Apple Silicon-based that you're working on?

 

Ensure there are no stale preferences in your Photoshop to remember the last changes correctly. Go to the location of the preference folder mentioned below and rename it to backup.

  • macOS: In the Finder, hold down the Option key when using the Go menu > Library > Go to Preferences/Adobe Photoshop [version] Settings
  • Rename the Adobe Photoshop folder by adding a .old at the end. (Adobe Photoshop 2023 > Rename > Adobe Photoshop 2023. old)

 

These changes will give a fresh start to Photoshop as a fresh install. Let me know how it goes.

Thanks!
