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

[Sam Singleton]

The tab to click on and change the properties for an adjustment layer randomly disappears. Quitting and re-opening the app solves the issue, but it will happen again within minutes, usually when switching between different projects or different app on the computer. 

On Photoshop v26.6 - Mac Mini M4 pro, 32gb ram, 1tb ssd.

Any help would be appreciated!

Also still having this issue with 26.8

[ThijmeBreukers]

I have the exact same problem; very frustrating; would love to learn a workaround or fix...! thank you 

[laurie585]

workaround is to quit and re-open for now 🤷‍:male_sign:

The problem persists in version 26.8.1 on Windows.

When you perform a merge group operation on any layer group, you cannot access the hue/saturation layer properties; only the mask properties for that layer are displayed.

@Aleke New video of odd behavior. Notice how the properties disappear when the HS layer is moved above "Group Copy 1" .. and then reappear if the layer is moved back down.

Hi @antonioi21376345, @Michal G_1, and everyone else affected. Thank you so much for your reports and for sharing the videos.

The team has reviewed your findings and is actively looking into the issue. We’ll work on getting a fix out as soon as possible.

A workaround you can try for now is to convert the layers into a smart object and then rasterize, instead of merging the group.
Really appreciate your patience and help in flagging this!

Best,
Alek

不管用。。。

@LYPIN89 What exactly doesn't work? Please be more specific.

Only saying "I doesn't work" doesn't help anybody.

Exactly same bug, appears only on Hue/Saturation layer. And only on this one specific picture. I can create and use H/S layer on the other picture, but when I drag it to first picture, edit panel is replaced by mask panel.
I don't know, problem with memory? Number of layers?
Mac mini M1 2020, 16GB, Sequoia 15.5

[Angel_Leyenda]

@Aleke you do realize that the workaround you are suggesting has nothing to do with the issue at hand?

[LYPIN89]

置顶回复的办法不管用，等于说这个问题还没解决，自从这个色相饱和度更新形式之后，就有这个问题，和大家的情况一样，我只是在表达，置顶回复的方法不管用。

Hello
I'm looking to change the hue/saturation. but sometimes when i add it as an adjsutment layers it doesn't wanna work. There is no color or saturation adjustment panel. It just says no mask selected. could you help me, please
Best,

[sumu]

I am having the same problem. I had the panel appear and when I moved the layer it disappeared. Now I can't get the properties panel to display properly.

I have the same issue with the Hue/Saturation layer adjustment penal not appearing 

[ColinJR]

I'm having this isssue as well. I'm not sure if the bug is occuring because I typically have a selection when I create a new H/S adjustment layer (so that a mask is automatically created), or if it's that I use a keyboard shortcut to create one—I don't think so though. My educated guess is that it's related to the updates they made to the panel in 26—not sure which version that was.

Hi All! The issues reported here are likely fixed with Photoshop v26.9 and later. Please test and confirm if the issue exists with Photoshop (Beta). You can get Photoshop (beta) from the Creative Cloud > Apps tab > Beta Apps section. 

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks!

HI @Sameer K

concerning v26.9 update in the detail summary, it doesn't list any bugs fixed, so if you have access of that list that will be appreciated,

thanks.

[Sameer K]

Thanks for the comment, @Kapture benoit. I am unsure what you meant here, but here is the list of fixed issues in Photoshop: https://adobe.ly/4maGAXc

I don't see the primary issue in this thread with the variety of steps and workflows shared by everyone with v26.9 and later versions of Photoshop. If you still encounter this in v26.9, please create a numbered list of reproducible steps and record a short video to help us speed this up. 

Thanks!

I am also having the same issue at least in Photoshop Beta. Sometimes closing Ps and opening the project again and adding a new Hu/Saturation adjustments fixes it. But not all the time. Sometimes only if I open in an older version of PS it works.

Adobe, we are paying more and more for your software, please fix these basic things!

It's getting worse for me

[Chris37411006chc0]

Good morning.

Ive got an ongoing issue where the hue and sturation tool within photoshop keeps breaking, there doesnt seem to be a aprticular reason why, but every so often the tool stopps displaying the properties, and instead just shows the density slider and feather slide from a differing menu. Ive found a reddit post about this being an ongoing bug now for over 3 months, just wndering how people are fixing it.

Part of me is hoping im doing something stupid instead here, but all other tools work fine

screenshots showing both areas slected so no confusion im not clicking the mask etc.

Version 26.9

Windows 11

Thanks

Excuse me? Am I paying a yearly subscription, or am I working as a BETA tester? -- Please tell your higher ups that these beta fixes are insufficient. Your customer base is discontent. 

[M-H]

Your customer base is discontent. 

By @antonioi21376345 

Considering they've made $22.6B by end of may this year (10% up year over year) the discontent doesnt really show in numbers:P

[c.pfaffenbichler]

»Am I paying a yearly subscription, or am I working as a BETA tester?«

Are you using the general release version or the Beta version?
