Question

PSCC 22.3 why can’t I alter saved Paths

In the previous PSCC it was having trouble selecting multiple layers, I click once and it does nothing so I click again and it opens the prefs. But I've found a work around. 

then 22.3 came and I was looking forward to the fix but things are worse now I can't modify saved paths. If I delete some anchor points and try to make more it won't join them up. 

im running iMac 2016 32gb & 4gb gpu. Latest software.  

please let me know if theirs a fix??

The bug is known, a work-around is maintaining a Work Path while working on named Paths.

Thanks for the tip and ive been doing that but it doesn't work for multiple documents of similar images.  The work path saves when you drag it to another documment.

 

Any idea about the trying to select multiple layers issue?  

 

I forgot to mention I'm using Wacom Intuos 4.  The issue started about the Big Sur update but I'm sure adobe must know about that too.

 

Thanks

»The work path saves when you drag it to another documment.«

Then you need to create a new Work Path – deselecting the active Path and creating one PathPoint with the Pen Tool should suffice (provided it is set to »Path«), then you can again select the Path you actually need to work on. 

 

The Layer-selection issue does not sound familiar to me and I have no advice regarding that (save for general trouble-shooting).

You could do a search over on 

Photoshop Family

to see if a Bug Report exists – if none is to be found and you can reproduce the issue you can post one. 

Should it turn out to be related to the 22.3.0 update you may have to roll back the Photoshop version for the fime being.
