One specific parametric filter stopped working and I can't get it back
I was using the Filter Aberration parametric filter extensively and suddenly stopped working. I’ve tried everything I can think of to get it working, but it just won’t
All of the other parametric filters work just fine, but when I click on the Filter Aberration Chromatic nothing happens, over and over.
I’ve tried all of the following:
- Reset preferences
- Delete preferences
- Restore Default Filters from the Parametric Filters flyout menu
- Upgrade to newest version of Photoshop (currently on 27.9.1)
- Uninstall and reinstall Photoshop
- Update my graphics drivers to the most current (RTX 4070 Laptop w/ drivers dated July 22, 2026)
- I’ve tried on numerous files, including low res files
- Plenty of web searches looking for solutions
I can open and edit the Filter Aberration Chromatic properties on my existing files, but I can’t ever seem to get it working with new files.
Is there anything else I can try?
Any temporary files or something that the parametric filters use that maybe I can delete? Looking in the standard presets folder (C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2026\Presets) I don’t see anything obviously related to parametric filters
Please help! I don’t know what else to do other that removing the entire Creative Cloud install and I’d really prefer not to
