Photoshop v26.6 showing desaturated image

Question

I have issues with Photoshop not showing correct colors of the photo. The image is desaturated. When I open "Liquify" window inside app it shows correct colors. I have Photoshop version 26.6. This is not happening with older version 22.2.

Image in the liquify window of the Photoshop v26.6 matches colors of the same image opened in Photoshop v22.2.

I have calibrated monitor, checked options for color settings and profiles. I tried disabling "Use Graphics Processor". The only difference with this setting is that the colors are desaturated inside the "liquify" window too.

I'm working on a Mac mini, M4 Pro, Sequoia 15.5.

How can I solve this problem?

Please try to disable the option to "Use Graphics Procesor" from Photoshop by going to Preferences, then Performance. Once done, quit & relaunch Photoshop to check if that helps.

If it helps, you can check out the steps suggested here: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/troubleshoot-gpu-graphics-card.html

Take a look especially point 7 in the "Troubleshoot GPU and Graphics driver" section.

Is your system up-to-date? Do you have installed all recent updates and patches for the operating system and the device drivers, especially the graphic driver. If you have a NVidia graphic card installed, make sure that you are using the recent Studio version of the driver, not the Game Ready version.

Another try is to enable the Older GPU Mode option in "Preferences" > "Technology Previews" > "Use Older GPU Mode (pre 2016)".

If this all doesn't help, we need more informations about your system. Maybe you can post your Photoshop system info. In Photoshop goto Help > System Info and hit the copy button. Then paste the entire informations into this thread.
