Yep, same issues.

It used to happen sometimes, but for the past few days it happens right away after opening photoshop and trying to work on an image. it seems like also every Ai feature stops working as well, such as remove tools, and also generative ai after selecting something, contextual bar doesnt even pop up (no, its not hidden).

main reason i use beta is because it’s performance is way better than the regular one. it doesn’t have weird crashes and bugs and also seems to work faster. but for the past few days its unusable. tried going back to earlier versions and still got the same issues :(

Almost everything is the same here. I've tried older versions, and even the basic Photoshop (not Beta) installation, and I still get the same generative AI-based errors as you.

I’ve an M2 Macbook Pro, everything working without error with the same subscription. Everything seems to be fine on other hardware, at least in my case. Who knows?...

After installing the regular version and the latest update (from yesterday?), it seems to work fine atm

Yes, I have also being facing the same problem. The command to 'Remove Background' or 'Select Subject' is superficial and is not strong in implementing or doing its job consistently.

"Could not complete the Subject command Select Subject Classifier model not loaded correctly"

Hi Aravindan,

 

Can you please try this and let us know if it helps? Go to Preferences > Image Processing > Selections Processing > and if Faster is the option selected, please change it to More Stable and relaunch Photoshop.

Thank you!

Hi @Bobhandal 

 

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


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.

Hi Swaminathan242609795k05,

Are you still seeing this issue? We are investigating it and would love to know if changing a preference makes a difference for you. 

Please go to Preferences > Image Processing > Selections Processing > and if Faster is the option selected, please change it to More Stable and relaunch Photoshop.


Thank you so much!!!
