Eye dropper error: Could not use the eye dropper tool because of a program error

[geekformante]

Hi.

Does anyone know how to fix this error? I can't pick colors from with the eye dropper. I have the most recent versión of Photoshop Beta: 25.4.0

I tried reseting preferences, erase them, hidding layers, etc.

Here is a capture of the problem:

I'm having the same issues. SO frustrating! Also having issues now with application window moving behind other open windows in photoshop.  It has been happening in Illustrator, but now int PSD too!

Same.... 25.4.0 on Sonoma

[meegee]

Yep, I'm afraid I have to join this club as well. Cant get it to work. Using Mac, Sonoma 14.3, Photoshop fully up to date.

[hanskfroschauer]

Same here. Sonoma 14.3, Photoshop fully updated, Full Disk Access and Screenrecording permissions in order, etc. Very frustrating.

Adding my complaint here to this. I'm having this problem that started today. Restarting eveything didn't fix it. I only get the error when I'm trying to change the colours in a gradient (via the Effects or the gradient stroke using a shape).

I'm having the same issue.

Did the morons at Adobe fix this SUPER obvious basic bug yet? Been months and these clowns can't get simple rollouts correct?

Probably best Framer didn't get acquired by Adobe. They would just just ruined it like they're doing with their existing suite of fail tools.

Pull your finger out Adobe. Crazy this hasn't been fixed.

Same eye dropper issue on Mac with 25.4 - downgraded to 25.3.1 and it's fine again. Let's hope Adobe take note of this thread and fix it on the next release!

I have the same problem as well.

Same issue.

Same Issue noticed it today

I've been trying to give Photoshop Full Disk Access but Photoshop BETA keeps overriding it. I delete BETA's access, add Photoshop but BETA activates instead. Adobe just REALLY wants me to use BETA so they don't have to rush to fix this eyedropper problem.

[lonnyc85144968]

I had to unintall and stop usuing Beta...It trys to takeover everything Photoshop that I have and I have not found it to have enough benifit to fight with it. Its just another way that Adobe shows how little it cares about its customers. 

[nateps]

Same issue, this is really frustraighting. Please fix ASAP! 

[Alexey Guk]

The same issue for me on WIndows 😞

[AnnCha11]

I've got the same problem on Mac.
