P: Photoshop 26.2 adjustment layers grayed out on cmyk file.

As subject states there are several adjustment layers that no longer work on 26.2 and beta.

Made a new file - CMYK 8bit filled a layer with color, attempted to apply adjustment layer and it is greyed out. Curves, hue saturation and maybe more.

I went back to 25.12 and it works as it should with no issues.

Windows 11.

Hello everyone,

Here I want to report a problem given by the LAB color method. Before an update it was working correctly, I could use the curves, as well as the hue\Saturation.

With the new update it no longer lets me select the aforementioned adjustment options.
When you even click on Vibrance, it says that it can't be used for this color method.

Is it a bug or does the new update really look like this? because in this way I lose a lot in terms of processing.
How else can it be solved? Thank you

Known bug when adjustment layers are called from the Layers panel. Use the Adjustments panel or the menu Layer > New adjustment layer.

Bizarre,

On peut faire "ctrl u" ou "ctrl m" sur un visuel en quadri, mais les options teinte saturation, courbe, pour créer sur calque de réglage sont grisées pour les fichiers CMJN dans Photoshop 2025. Ça fonctionne pourtant correctement avec la version 2024.

Waw Thank you 👌

When working on a 32bit file, you used to be able to create an exposure adjustment. Now the button is grayed out. You can still copy the adjustment layer from an older file, so the filter still works


Step 1 to reproduce the issue open a 32 bit file
Step 2 to reproduce the issue click on create a new fill or adjustment layer


Expected result: Photoshop should be able to create an exposure adjustment layer

Perdón, pero independientemente de las opciones que dan para este tema, cuando erreglan este problema?

Hoy se actualizó Photoshop en el trabajo y ya no me permite crear una capa de ajuste de Curvas. Es necesario que sea ese el que use porque se tiene que dejar evidencia de lo que se le hizo al arte, alguien sabe cómo solucionarlo??

Consider resetting your Preferences, which you can do under the General tab in Photoshop Settings, then close and reopen the application.

The curves and hue-saturation option in the LAB mode is greyed out (as well as in CMYK mode) in the layers panel. There is a workaround through
Layer -> Adjustment layer > curves/Hue Saturation,
but it is very cubmersome - please mend this (was working prior 26.2 version)

After most recent update of PS 2025, I notice that the Curves adjustment is grayed out, when accessing it from the layers panel. However, from the PS Menu, Image>Adjustments>Curves is available. Could this quirk be due to me running MacOS 13.7.2 Ventura? Yes, I need a new computer. Thansk for any help.
