P: Adjusting layer properties doesn't work for Hue/Saturation/lum. HSL layers

Hi everyone,

Thank you all for your continued patience and detailed reports on this issue. We completely understand how disruptive this has been, and we truly appreciate everyone who’s shared screenshots and feedback so far.

Our internal teams have been actively testing this across multiple environments, but it appears to be environment-specific.

To help us move this forward, we’re now arranging a live debug session with members of the Photoshop product and engineering teams early next week (Monday or Tuesday, between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM PST.

If anyone here can reproduce this issue 100% of the time (not intermittently), please send me a direct message (DM) with the following details:

• Your Adobe email ID (the one linked to your Creative Cloud account)

• A phone number where we can reach you during that window

We’ll coordinate directly with you to set up a brief debugging session, allowing the team to capture the root cause in real-time.

Thank you again for your help in investigating this matter.

Best,

Anshul Saini

Totally agree that it is beyond comprehension that adobe has not fixed this issue. I was the member who first raised this issue here and still today, the only solution is to quit PS and restart to have HueSat layer funciton correctly. PS is currently a broken broken that exists only to fustrate its users.

It's ridiculous that Adobe hasn't been able to diagnose this bug for so long, offering solutions that don't work. This is how seriously you treat your users...

Same issue here: the properties panel only displays the masks option, can't select hue/saturation. It's only the hue/saturation adjustment layer, all the other adjustment layers work normally. Restarting Photoshop fixes the issue for a while.

This is on Windows 11 in Photoshop 26.11.0.

Apparently this is a common issue when using the Beta version. 

Same here in 2025, did anyone have a solution? 
Mine does't even show the sliders, just the mask options (grayed out because the mask isn't selected)

Any tips appreciated 🙂

Just got a new position, setting up new imac and photoshop and getting my workspace how i like it, and find the Hue/Saturation adjustment layer just...doesnt work. It has nothing to do with color values, just "Density" and "Feather". All other adjustment layers have their properties display correctly. I can use H/S as a destructive edit, but thats it.

I havent even gone into Preferences yet, so its not a "reset preferences" issue.

Bonjour,

Depuis plusieurs mois maintenant quand j'utilise la fonction "teinte saturation" je n'ai pas accès aux propriétés. Parfois elles s'affichent et parfois non 

Est ce que vous pouvez m'aider

Merci

Catherine

Still cant believ this hasnt been fixed with multiple people reporting it across multiple builds of the program...

When are we going to get an update on the fix for this?

I just updated to 26.10 and unfortunately this problem still exists. I use a TON of HSL adjustment layers and having to quit and relaunch PS every time this pops up (which is typically once or twice per image I edit) is extremely frustrating. If anyone from Adobe would like me to screen record an edit to show when it happens, I would be happy to. I can't see the pattern for when it happens, so maybe an engineer from Adobe would see what the issue is.
