Open CL greyed out - Catalina

Hi

Probably due to an update of Creative Cloud (?), Open CL cannot be activated anymore. The result is that Plugins such as Luminar 4 by Skylum do not work properly anymore. The result they are sending back to Photohop appear black. This is the case one more than one Mac running latest version of Catalina (10.15.7) – and it is a pure nightmare. I was hoping that Adobe would be able to fix GPU issues - and am quite disappointed. Hope that it will be fixed soon again. Fortunately it is still working ith a MacPro and Mojave...

This is being widely reported.

Reinstall a previous version of Photoshop from the CC desktop app for now.

Thanks - I have downgraded this way to 22.3.0 and 21.2.6 but none of these steps worked. It looks as if there are some changes under the hood with Creative Cloud as well inhibiting OpenCL with Catalina.

Maybe you have a good idea for solving this - or which version should be working properly for now?

Go to preferences/performance under advanced settings and make sure "Use Open CL" is off.
