In PS 2021, when I use the color range selection tool and then adjust the Fuzziness slider, my computer locks up. Every time. 

 

PS 22.1.0

MacOS 10.15.7

Engineering cannot reproduce this with the current release (23.1 or later). Let us know if you're still seeing this issue.

Any update on this? I don't see it in the list of known issues on Adobe's site.

My workaround is to enter numbers above the slider until I get the result I want. Yes, it's not great.

I'm also getting the same problem as of 2nd February. 2021 It's infuriating given the repeated crashes I experience with Premier. I decided that if I start working in Photoshop and I get the same constant crashing I will cancel my subscription. 

All I want to do is remove a simple greenscreen but the slider on the select colour pane crashes every single time without fail. Can anyone at least recommend a way of selecting a greenscreen colour that doesn't involve the clearly broken colour select tool in Photoshop.

Glad to know it’s not just me that’s still having this issue.

I keep having the same problem. It helps somewhat if I am sure to save the file right before I use the select color range slider, but not all of the time. There is no spinning wheel of death, Photoshop just locks up and I have to force quit it.  The other odd thing is that Photoshop seems to lose record of the most recent file worked on, so I have to look for the crashed file again in my folders.  SOMETIMES Photoshop does recover the crashed file when I reopen it, but not all the time. This started happening right after I updated to BigSur. Never any problems before that and I used the tool regularly.

Sometimes when using select by color range PS freezes.

Yes, same problem as everyone else. When I try to use the color range sampler tool as I always have (usually to make a mask), Photoshop locks up and I have to force quit on my MAC. (Catalina, latest version, Photoshop, CC latest version).
