Color Sliders in my new Photoshop 2024 don't work at all - they don't change when i pick a color from the Spectrum or when i change Foreground/Bacground color with X key.

I reset Preferences, reinstaled PS and nothing works. Any ideas?

Photoshop 25.1.0, Windows 10.

Correct answer Kevin Stohlmeyer

@robzartworx there is a phased roll out for update 25.2 happening globally.

If you are in a managed environment (Enterprise/Teams/Edu) you may have to reach out to your plan admin to allow access to new updates within 30 days of release.

After recent PS update (27/10/2023) to version 25.1 color palette and slider do not show proper color when eyedropper tool is used.

@Sartharion it's a bug that Adobe introduced with version 25.1, you may want to revert back to version 25.0 until Adobe address the issue.

Apparently Adobe knew about the bug in the Beta version but in their wisdom decided not to fix it and still roll out version 25.1 to the public.

Hello! I updated photoshop tonight to version 25.1, and when I went to eyedropper colors from my image, I noticed that the Color window wasn't updating to reflect those colors. (The foreground color was updating, however.)

Windows 11.

This is what happens when I try to use the color picker tool. It won’t change the color instead it stays whatever color I put it to on the color wheel itself. It also dosent change the color if I use color select so it’s not purely a color picker problem. I can make it show the correct color by switching from the color wheel to another option like the default square and back again but I haven't found any other way. How do I fix this so it goes back to normal?

Yup exactly problem for me. And I'm using the Hue Cube.

PS 2024 version 25.1.0 on Windows 10. Having a similar problem.

If I select a color in the wheel, the sliders don't change (first image). If I use the eyedropper tool, it picks up the color but the color wheel and sliders don't change (second image).

Hello!

When I use the eyedropper tool, the color I choose does not show up on the color wheel/ hue cube.

I've already troubleshooted some possibilities like sample size for the color picker, sampling all layers, not using a layer mask. I've tried everything.

The colors I pick only show up in the little tiny box under the word "color" at the top of the color wheel. It is definitely impacting my workflow. I updated photoshop today also, so I think it's just a bug. Anyone else having this issue?

I added a photo at the bottom showing the color in the box above the color wheel is not the same color as the one chosen on the wheel after using the eyedropper. Hope this makes sense.

Thanks!!

I'm also having this same issue. I just updated today and now when I pick a color for my workspace it doesn't change the Hue Saturation sliders or the color wheel. Please let me know if you find a fix!
