Hi @ashok_patel3869

Thank you for your message. You posted this query on an older thread with a different error message. I have moved your post as a new thread for better visibility. To assist you further, could you please provide additional details, such as the operating system and version of Photoshop you are using? Are you encountering this error when selecting a subject in a specific file or across all files?

I look forward to your response!

Regards,

Srishti
