Photoshop 2023 Program Error using Brightness/Contrast

Unfortunately, the subject says it all.

 

If I try to access Brightness/Contrast for a layer, I get "Could not complete the Brightness/Contrast command because of a program error" and can go no further.

 

I can use Hue/Saturation, Exposure, Levels, Curves, Vibrance ... but not Brightness/Contrast, which I use about a thousand times every day.

 

I have replaced the installation with older versions of Photoshop, such as the one I used only yesterday, but with the same problem.

 

Can someone please help or advise? I am on MacOS (latest version) on a Macbook Air M1, and with the very latest version of Photoshop 2023 (not that it makes a difference: the update seems to have messed up all previous versions as well).

Then it works as normal.

And if you don't make a new layer?

    Thanks for the reply.

     

    Yes — I encounter exactly the same problem with your file. I make a random selection, create a new layer, and then if I try to use Brightness/Contrast the same error message appears.

    Does this error show up on all documents (flattened)?

    How about this one:
