Question

What happened to my HUD color picker after the latest upgrade?

I just upgraded to Photoshop 27.9.1 and the HUD color picker center square is mostly white, with color fading in on the right and bottom of the square. The regular color picker on the tool menu still works fine, but the HUD picker is MESSED UP! Any idea what happened?

        The first question is what bit-mode are you working in? 8-, 16-, or 32?

        Also, can you post a screenshot of your Heads Up Display color picker so we can see what you are seeing?

        I’m running 8-bit RGB. I’ll attach the color picker as viewed from the tool menu, as well as the HUD picker.
