Color Overlay does not work in PS Beta

In PS Beta the fx-Color Overlay does not work sometimes. If you have a layer and want to add a color overlay it does not take affect. Sometimes it does if you exit the beta version and run again. Sometimes it does not work the second time loading. I have to open the released version of PS to perform this function.

Hi @mikem85745071 testing here with Ps beta: Adobe Photoshop Version: 25.0.0 20230801.m.2265 3a00623 x64, and it appears to be working as expected.

 

Try resetting Prefs for the Beta:

/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/ Photoshop Beta Settings (Mac Ventura)

/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/Adobe\ Photoshop\ \(Beta\)\ Settings (Mac)
C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop (Beta)\Adobe Photoshop (Beta) Settings )Win)

Launch BETA Photoshop While Pressing The Keyboard Shortcut

With Photoshop closed, press and hold Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and then Launch Photoshop the way you normally would.

I'm having the same issue in the released version of PS 2024.
I create a new layer and want a colour overlay and nothing shows.
Apple Silicon M1 - 13.1

 release of PS 25.0.0

I did the Re-set on my Mac that you suggested. It seems to be working now.
Thank you.
