Latest Photo Shop BETA won't let me use CURVES....it switches to the Eye Dropper icon and locks up.

Hi @RKBerta testing here with Ps beta and we are not seeing any issues.  Could you share a video of your workspace and what you are seeing?

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.

It may help if we could see your Photoshop System Info. Launch Photoshop, and select Help >System Info...and copy/paste the text in a reply. 

@RKBerta 

I've moved your post to Photoshop Beta. 

Instead of "latest", can you give a number (Help > About)?

Spent a couppe of hours today figureing out the issue of the Curves tool locking up the app. I finally decided to remove the BETA version and reinstall it again. After making sure my desktop etc. was all  working....it magically went back to normal operation. Oh well....at least it is good again. Computers are wonderful but other times....
