Adjustments Panel Blank

Report · Jun 07, 2023

I had this happen earlier today, and fixed it by resetting Preferences, but I see it has happened again.

I just tried checking Decativate Native Canvas and restarting, but I still have a blank panel, so it looks like 'another' Preference reset, and it does rather annoy me when I have to reset Preferences.

Yep. The reset got me my icons back... for now. 😞

A thought about the changes to the Adjustment panel. I'd be happy to put up with the list view if we were able to rearrange the icon order. I use the same four or five Adjustment layers 95% of the time, so if I could group them together at the top of the list, I'd be happy.

I have the same problem,

I (think) that the graphics card has a role in the matter, given the solution that I found

Try turning off the "use graphics processor" option, and turning it on only when needed

When u turn it off, you'll need to restart Photoshop, and when u turn it on, u won't

Yes, that fixed it for me. I would not have solved this if not for someone posting the solution. Thank you!

Hi all, a couple things to try:

Go to Preferences > Technology Previews... and enable “Older GPU mode (pre 2016)” - Restart Photoshop. Does the problem persist?

Cory, in my case this was with a fairly new system with i9-13900K and RTX4080 and Windows 11. The same issue did repeat itself later that day, but I can't remember if I fixed it with Native Canvas or what. Since then I had a serious issue with both versions of Photoshop locking up and refusing to shut down. I had to uninstall Creative Cloud and all Adobe apps, and things seem to be working now, and I can turn off Preset Syncing and still shut down with no delay.

Cory, sorry, I didn't test the older GPU setting.

OK, first restart I had icons. The next four I had no icons.

I also tried with Older GPU, and Deactivate Native Canvas, and did four restarts non with icons.

I did a couple of restarts with GPU acceleration turned off completely, and was relieved to find that made no difference — I would hate to be without that functionality.

Looking back through this thread, I am thinking that my issue was much more intermittant with the previous beta build. I was going no icons one start in five. With the current beta build it is more like no icons nine starts out of ten. I am a lot better off than the poor buggers with no Toolbar icons. I can live with my problem, but will be happy when it's fixed.

I just had this happen today for the first time. I'm running Windows 10 on an i5-12600k and Radeon 6900 XT video card. Turning on the "Older GPU Mode" did not fix it, nor did resarting the program. When I restarted my computer though it went back to normal.

I have the same problem only in Ver 26.0.0. Tried uninstalling and re installing but the problem is same. No problem in Beta 26.1.
