Question

Select Subject no longer working after updating to PS 2026

Is there a reason that select subject no longer works, or is it a bug?  Or was it changed and has some really dumb extra step that I'm supposed to do in order to get it to work?

 

I tried changing it to device instead of cloud and the button appears like I can click it, and then says I can't do it because it is not available anymore.

 

How do I fix this so that I don't have to keep going back to the previous version, just to select subject and then back to the new one?  Or just use the old version until fixed?  Which is what I had to do for something else similar to this.   Had to use the previous one for almost a year before something was fixed and able to use the new version.

 

Edit:  So I noticed that if I manually click on a layer further down, it allows me to use it........so this definitely is a bug or a bad change that for some reason was intentional.   Before I could do it above my frequency separation group and above my dodge and burn grey layer and it would work perfectly fine for the past 5 years......this new version it no longer works and forces me to click layers further down, create a mask and then move the mask.......3 extra steps that should not exist.

They changed the select subject settings without saying anything, you have to go to one of the options at the top of the screen and have it look at everything below too.  The original was like this by default, but they now made it default to only the current layer that is selected, which is a developer error.  But after you change that option, it works, it is much much much slower than the 2025 version, but it works

I am actually having the same issue. When selecting a subject, the software is grabbing the whole screen, rather than the subject. 

I switched to Photoshop 2025 and opened the same project there, and it worked perfectly. Only issues are with 2026

@Claire H.   Omg......I think you will noticed this after watching that, faster than I did, since it shows the other settings with it.  

There is still a problem with it though....

 

I did not realize that you guys deselected the sample all layers option at the top of the screen when you did the update......

 

I don't know why someone did that, but I realized it after I went back to check again to find if anything was changed and bam, that appeared to be the simple fix., which that option was always on and should have been forwarded with the previous settings as I told it to do.

 

The problem is still there though, I will link another video.  It only allows me to do that manually still and not if it is saved in an action in the exact same manor.

Edit:  Disregard, that actually was the fix, I had to update the action since you guys must have changed or added something to the select subject.  I replaced that piece of the action with the new select subject and now it works as it is supposed to.  I tried it a few different times now and it seems to be working as intended.  

 

So we're all good with this one, yay!

@Claire H. 

Ohhhh, luckily I have not gotten shut downs, just annoyed at the extra steps that I have to manually click around all over to get to work.    

 

Though, I have noticed that when I click select subject, before it was pretty instant in the previous version, I mean.....it would load and then done after a second or so.   But now when I do get it to work, which I will do the video showing the steps and post here too, it kinda studders and looks like it's not sure if it wants me to click or do it itself.  Each time it makes me think I'm on the wrong took clicking select subject and then poof, it finally does it on it's own and I'm like.....ok I guess it doesn't matter, but weird.  This time it did not hesitate though.

 

I have it saved into an action, which I've used for about 5-6 years now in every version and worked just fine in this exact manor, until this.   I do my FS, then I have another grey layer dodge and burn, which I didn't used to until last year, but it still worked the entire time.  Then I do my actual DB action, which I will open the drop down to show the saved steps in the video.  And that would normally work, but now it does not and forces me to manually select a layer below the FS group to do select subject, then make a mask, then manually move that mask up where it should be.
