Critical Bug Report: Freezing Issue with Adjustment Brush Tool in Photoshop 25.6

Report · Feb 16, 2024

Hey Adobe Team,

Encountered a glitch in Photoshop 25.6 - whenever I use the new "adjustment brush tool," it freezes, forcing me to "end the task" and lose my recovery backup. Rolled back to version 25.5 temporarily. Can you please investigate?

Thanks,

Oran

Hi @Oran30807838x0pe testing here and it is working as expected without freezing.

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.
