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!

Latest PS 2025 intermittant bug issue with Hue Sat adjustment layer.

Loading a new Hue Sat adjustment layer into a layer stack, intermittantly the H/S layer does not show the adjustable propeties as it should ie the properties area is blank. The ajustable Hue Sat propeties is only visible and accessible once you quit PS and restart.

In a first step try to reset the preferences of Photoshop using the steps described here:

https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#reset-preferences

It's recommended to backup your settings before resetting the preferences.

See here: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#backup-photoshop-preferences

If this doesn't help, try to disable the option to "Use Graphics Procesor" from Photoshop by going to Preferences, then Performance. Once done, quit & relaunch Photoshop to check if that helps.

If it helps, you can check out the steps suggested here: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/troubleshoot-gpu-graphics-card.html

Hola a todos,

Actualicé hace unos dáis a la última versión de Photoshop, la 26.6.0, y han cambiado la interfaz de funcionamiento de tono y saturación.

El problema es que, después de un rato de estar trabajando con la aplicación, no se abre la opción de propiedades en dicho ajuste y no puede usarse.

A alguien más le pasa?

Además hubiera agradecido que en la nueva versión hubieran añadido la opción de transición a la herramienta quitar (la tirita con función generativa) o poder poner, por fin, un comando a la opción de enmascarar.

Mil gracias!

Hue Saturation hasn't changed, are you using an Adjustment layer in the Adjustment panel or from the Image > Adjustments drop down?

If you are using the Adjustment panel maybe you are selecting the Mask icon instead of the adjustment icon? Screenshots would help me understand the problem.

For the second comment - are you saying you want to be able to add a prompt to the remove tool? That isn't what it's for. If you want to make a selection and add a prompt, use the new selection brush tool to paint over the area and you can add a prompt.

The layer is bugged. I have a couple projects that it won't load the layer at all, but it will in others.

Even attempting to copy paste the layer from a working project to the other one breaks it. Between working projects, copies fine.

I have been running into the exact same problem. Yet to figure out how to reproduce it.

At first I blamed my outdated Intel iMac, because it does tend to happen during heavy workloads, as the whole system gets laggy. But now I see that it happens on the latest Apple Silicon as well.

I could add:

1. It returns to normal just after you close and re-open the PSD, without having to restart Photoshop.

2. If you try "Refresh prominent colors" from the contextual bar, you see an error says 'Could not complete the Refresh prominent colors command because of a program error."

BUG:

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but when I use the 'default' colors and adjust my yellows to change the hue (using the slider) I see a change to both the image and the circle thumbnail. BUT when I use the 'prominent' colors and adjust the yellow nothing happens to the thumbnail and the image ONLY gets partially adjusted: the photo's yellow tones shift with my adjustments but the solid block of yellow remains unmodified - the hue does not shift to pink. This is contrary to changes we see using the 'default' color choices.

Secondary example when I use the 'prominent' color and adjust the beige thumbnail you see a color adjustment to both the image and the circular thumbnail. So in this instance the beige gets adjusted and the thumbnail shows a split for before and after colors.

NOTE: the bear and yellow block are one layer - not stacked layers. something seems broken here.

please see the attached snaps for reference.

Hi @Sam Singleton! Welcome to the community!

I tried testing around but couldn't reproduce this issue, unfortunately. Have you found any way to consistently cause the adjustment layer properties to disappear? Is this only happening with the Hue/Saturation adjustment layers?

For now, one thing we could try is resetting preferences. This will restore Photoshop to its default state and often helps with miscellaneous errors. Just make sure to create a backup beforehand, as it will reset your workspaces, brushes, and other settings.

Thank you!

I have been a loyal Photoshop user for over 6 years, but I must express my extreme disappointment with the latest updates.

Once again, the UI has been completely restructured, making it extremely difficult to access and use essential functions, especially within Adjustment Layers like Hue/Saturation. Instead of focusing on stability and performance, it seems the team is constantly rearranging UI elements without real user benefit.

As a professional and an Art Lead managing a studio team, this update has caused a full day's loss of productivity. Important features became inaccessible or confusing, and numerous bugs appeared. For the first time, basic functionality such as using the keyboard with non-English layouts is broken. I cannot even add a Hue/Saturation layer easily anymore — and I can't tell if it's a bug or simply an unintuitive new workflow.

Small but critical issues are piling up with each update, undermining trust in Photoshop as a stable tool for professional work. This situation is forcing me — for the first time — to seriously consider switching to alternative software for my studio.

I urge Adobe's management to reconsider the current approach: stop unnecessary UI changes and prioritize stability, reliability, and user workflows.

Deeply disappointed,
A long-time user seeking ways to roll back to an older version immediately.
