I updated to the latest version of Photoshop yesterday (version 23.0.1). Since updating I have issues with it crashing when I use the Select & Mask Tool, in particular the Refine Hair tool. Is there a fix coming for this soon and if not, is there a way I can roll back to the previous version.

I tried turning off "use OpenCL" and restarted but it made no difference. However I clicked on "Reset Prefrences On Quit" in the General Tab , restarted and that has appeared to sort it out! Not sure why but there you go! Thank you for your assistance.

Hi @NP1972 ,

Thank you for letting us know.

OK, so your preferences had gotten corrupted it seems.

Glad you are sorted

You can install the prior version and keep the current version installed: https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/using/install-previous-version.ug.html

Sounds like you are seeing a freeze which is different than a crash.

If you go to Preferences > Performance... and click "Advanced Setttings..." then uncheck "Use OpenCL" then restart Photoshop, does Select & Mask behave?

Hi there. All I get is a "Photoshop is not responding" Windows error.

Hi Jeffrey, I have the same problem since PS 23. I have submitted my report of crashes from Adobe dialog box when appear afer a crash. I'm working with iMac 27 ", 2020, 40 GB RAM, AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT 8 GB, OS X 11.6

And by the way (maybe this isn't the correct thread but I promise you I tried in other posts with no success), nobody give me any response on this specific problem with the Gradient Fill Layers. Please, please see this little video (25 secs)

Thank you. I am trying a full reinstall first to see if that works. If I have to roll back, how do I do this? Thank you for your help.
