Photoshop 22.1 Sky Replacement - Could not complete your request because the file was not found

When trying to use Sky Replacement in PS 22.1 I get the following error message 

Could not complete your request because the file was not found.

 

Apparently this has been a problem for quite some time, I tried appending the stock skies and deleting the original folders and a couple of other half baked work arounds and none of them worked.  How do I fix this?

Could you please try deselecting "Use Graphics Processor" located in Photoshop's Preferences > Performance, then relaunch Photoshop and let us know if it helps?

I found the answer elsewhere in the Community.  Delete all the default Sky folders, close out the Sky Replacement window (not PS window), then select Sky Replacement again and all the sky files work again.

    In response to your last update - 600 skies may be overload for the panel.

    I'm not sure what the max is but that seems excessive.

    Have you tried resetting as suggested and then importing in phases - 50, 100 etc. to see if you reach a breaking point with that many external dependencies?

    Hi there,

    Sorry to hear about the "file not found" error in Photoshop. Would you mind telling us the operating system version you're working on?

     

    Could you please try resetting Photoshop's preferences and let us know if that helps? Preferences in Photoshop 

     

    Note: Make sure that you back up all your custom presets, brushes & actions before restoring Photoshop's preferences. Migrate presets, actions, and settings

    I have the same issue using MacOS Big Sur 11.2.1 and PS 22.2.  Resetting preferences did not resolve the issue.
