P: Color Lookup - Crisp_Winter.look Displaying Black with Windows 11 kb008353 update installed

Thanks for the tip! I'm not entirely sure it's worth fighting Windows updates every few weeks but I'll give it a shot.

I recently came across a problem with Adobe Photoshop 2022 after being forced an update

(2022-03 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 for x64-based Systems (KB5011493))

to my pc.. (thanks Windows..)

3DLut filters that I have applied *after* the update make the entire canvas go black,

this however is not the case with abstract color profiles.

The 3DLuts I have applied before the update work just as intended.

So far I was able to fix this by just reverting the update but I'm getting sick of doing that every few weeks.

Primarily I'd like to know what causes this,

if there are any intentions on fixing this

and if/how I can fix this without reverting updates every single time.

@12Lions  You can use a black to white gradient and multiply blend mode to combine different gradients

There is another issue that seems to be related to the issue of some of the standard LUTs displaying as black, as it occurred at the same time. When used on a layer mask, the "Foreground to Transparent" gradient in the Basics gradient filter also turns the mask black, even when reverse is checked on, which normally, would simply change the gradient to White to Transparent. Why this is important is that the Black to Transparent gradient (normally) does not override itself when applied from different starting points on a layer mask. In other words, (normally) you could mask out 4 corners of an image, or any combination of corners and sides of an image, as opposed to the Black to White gradient which overrides itself each time you reapply it. If you wanted to, you could create a vignette on a single layer mask by using the Black to Transparent gradient. Or, with the Black to Transparent gradient you could mask out all of the edges of an overlay when they didn't completely disappear. This is no longer possible with the Black to Transparent gradient tool because it now turns the entire layer mask black. Perhaps in that, there exists a hint as to what is happening to the aforementioned LUTs. 

• I have the exact same issue, I wish the there is a good solution. 

We're all waiting for a real solution 😉

Hello,

Thank you for your fast answer. The problem occurs with the default .look files.

By the way, I just tried the solution proposed by Daniel Presedo and it's working for me. 

Thanks again.

Hi there!

Everything's in the title: it's been one month my Photoshop isn't able to process .look files when used in LUT adjustment layers.

I'm running the latest version of photoshop to date on a windows setup (latest version too).

Any help would be appreciated as I usually work a lot with LUT adjustment layers.

I glad the LUT bug is reproducible 😉

As for not being able to get Sys Info, I can confirm fully deleting the preferences setting folder and restarying Ps, does nothing. That is selecting Sys Info freezes Ps, which is confirmed the the Win Task Manager, ie 'not responding'.

The only way out is to stop the Ps Win task.
