App Version: Adobe Photoshop Beta V25.1

I click on the parametric filters in the filter menu. The window with filters loads however when I click on any of the filters to be applied, nothing happens.

I just figured it out. Change your image from 16 bits to 8 bits.

 

Image > Mode > 8 Bits

Did you ever figure this out?  I'm on mac and just tried parametric filters and it just shows a blank window with the names of the filters (I assume there would be images or preview thunmbnails) and I cannot click on anything.  Ever get any luck?

A lot of these Ai baseed new features are hard on system resources.  I got fed up with similar problems, like most of the Nueral Filters crashing my six year old system, and decided it was time for new hardware.  Every thing works now. It never crashes, and I can make use of all of Photoshop's Ai based features.  I suspect that a lot of the issues we see on this forum are related to aging hardware, no longer up to the ever more powerful apps we expect to run on them.

Parametric Filters are not A.I. based.

Anyway, they are very slow, even on modern hardware. Most of those filters aren´t of any use. And they are resolution limited to 4096x4096px. If you use them on larger files, they are just upsampled.

Adobe has limited access to the generative fill and generative expand features as well as other tools to customers with a valid subscription to a plan that includes Photoshop ( Creative Cloud, Single app or Photography plan).

 

Potential customers can try Photoshop and the generative features by signing up for a 7 day trial here - https://www.adobe.com/downloads.html 

If you believe that you have are incorrectly receiving the above error and qualify to use the generative features, please contact technical support.

It looks like no one's answered this for a while.  I finally decided to try out parametric filters today (yes, I'm subscribed with the all apps plan) - the window pops up with the names of the parametric filters but they are all just blank thumbnails that I cannot click on.  Essentially a window that I'm unable to interact with and does not load any kind of previews, just words.  I've reset prefs, done a complete uninstall and reinstall, tried going back a version, then forward again, nothing - same thing.  Blank parametrics.  Since several people seem to be having similar issues I assume this is a known issue that has been addressed elsewhere?  If anyone could point me towards a fix I'd greatly appreciate it.

resetting the settings does not help, a smart object is created and nothing else happens

Hi @Arty Cardy testing here shows it 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.
