in the previous version they worked, but now there is no change whatsoever when applying any of the parametric filters to an image.

Description:
When attempting to apply the Embroidery effect within Photoshop’s parametric filters, the software only duplicates the layer without making any visible modifications. The effect does not apply correctly, preventing its expected use.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open Photoshop and create or import an image.
  2. Go to FiltersParametric Filters.
  3. Select the Embroidery effect.
  4. Click "Apply."

Expected Result:
The embroidery effect should be applied to the selected layer, generating the corresponding visual appearance.

Actual Result:
Instead of applying the effect, Photoshop simply duplicates the layer without any visible changes.

Additional Notes:

  • The issue persists across different image types and settings.
  • Other effects within the parametric filters seem to work correctly.

The parameter filters in the Photoshop beta are not all applicable. Only layers are added. You can't convert it to a bitmap. I can't wait to try the embroidery function. You can't install the Photoshop beta differently. You cannot delete it and reinstall it. I updated the graphics card performance, but it still doesn't work. I hope to fix the bug as soon as possible. As in the attached image, only layers are added when changed to embroidery.

Photoshop beta parametric filters (Embroidery) not working. Please Help

I'm experiencing an issue with the Embroidery effect in the Parametric Filters section of Photoshop Beta. The problem started after I attempted to create a preset. Now, this is the only effect I can't use.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far to fix it:

  • Uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop Beta twice, and once using the removal tool.
  • Deleted the AppData > Roaming > Adobe > Photoshop (Beta) folder twice.
  • Cleared all cache via Preferences (twice).
  • Emptied my computer’s temp files.

Despite all this, the issue persists. My hardware is more than sufficient for Photoshop, and everything worked fine until I tried to create a preset.

Right now, the effect is still visible as an icon, but clicking it does nothing. Photoshop doesn’t crash or show an error—it simply doesn’t activate the effect. I’ve tested this on all resolutions (in an 8-bit project file).

Has anyone else encountered this issue? Is there any official fix or workaround?

Hi @jens_4786 could you share more information as to what you were doing when you saw an issue, any screenshots you can share, etc?  More info and we will be able to try to see what is happening.

 

Makes sure you have the latest: Adobe Photoshop Version: 26.4.0 20250205.m.2966 d895218 arm64

 

Thanks,

In Photoshop Beta, all parametric filters work except for the Embroidery effect.
The settings are correct, and the effect has worked before, but it no longer functions.

I have already tried reinstalling Photoshop Beta, but the issue persists. Interestingly, the effect still works on my work computer, so the problem does not seem to be related to my Adobe account.

Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

I've tried to use the Embroidery parametric filter in Photoshop Beta 26.4 on two different MacBook Pro's, one running Sonoma and one running Sequoia, and I'm having the same issue on both machines. 

I have my image as a smart object layer selected, and open up the Parametric Filters panel no problem. When I click "Embroidery," it starts to create a new smart object layer as it also opens the parametric properties, but then the new layer is blank. If I try to direct select it, I get a message saying "Warning: No pixels are selected," but if I double click it, it opens up just like a normal smart object with the art inside.

 

I've been searching for answers for two days and nothing is working. I've tried this on multiple machines, with different files, and am getting the exact same problem everytime. Please help me before I straight up rip my laptop in half.

Sorry for late reply, I am on 26.4 now. It still doesn't work on my 2019 macbook (2.4 quad-core intel i5, 16gb ram) but does on my 2024 work macbook (m1 pro, 32gb ram). I am starting to think it is hardware issue?

When I try to run any parametric filter in Photoshop Beta (the version I currently have is 26.4 m.2951), all it does is duplicate the active layer and convert it into a smart object. But it doesn't do anything else. It doesn't matter what type of file it is: .nef, .svg, .png, .psd, .jpg...

Cuando intento ejecutar cualquier filtro paramétrico en Photoshop beta (la que tengo ahora mismo es la 26.4 m.2951), lo único que hace es duplicar la capa que tenga en ese momento activa y convertirla en objeto inteligente. Pero no hace nada más. No importa el tipo de archivo que sea: .nef, .svg, .png, .psd, .jpg...
