P: Liquify lightens result on 16 bit/channel images

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

I am having issues with the new upgrade to Photoshop CC 2015 on Mac El Captain. The only thing I did was upgrade from a working CC 2015 to the new version. Using the liquify tool give the following look. There is a box around the area liquified that is lighter than the other areas. When I turn of Use Acceleration in Graphics Processor, it is better but .... I didn't have to do this in the prior version i.e.. Yesterday.

New Update: The Squiggly waist is the liquified:

Just that. It is messes the whole workflow.

I had to actually roll back to the previous version which is not a problem, but there should be an option to "Skip one update" in the creative cloud dashboard as it now shows that there is an update for Photoshop, but how would I know when the bug free one is released if it always appears as iif there is an available one?

I don't think I am imagining things, but I believe there was an option to "skip the current update" for individual apps in previous versions of the CC.

After the Lightroom import issue and the liquify bug I think Adobe should reintroduce beta testing and implement the "skip one update" option in the CC dashboard.

Jitka use this solution to roll back:

Saved me bro! Thanks alot 🙂

No worries. I had to do it myself to avoid the not so good "workarounds"

1. Graphic Processor is ON, Liquify on a Smart Object.
- 16bit:


- 8bit from 16 bit:


- 8bit:


2. Graphic Processor is ON, Liquify on a new layer.
- 16bit:


- 8bit:


3. Graphic Processor is OFF, Liquify on a Smart Object.
- 16bit:


4. Graphic Processor is OFF, Liquify on a new layer.
- 16bit:


5. If you made Liquify on a 16 bit Smart Object when Graphic Processor is ON, and then reopened and converted it to 8 bit when Graphic Processor is OFF.
- at first changed mode (16 bit to 8 bit) inside Smart Object and then the whole document:


- changed mode from 16 bit to 8 bit only inside Smart Object:


- converted image into 8-bit image, while inside the Smart Object is 16 bit:


6. If you made Liquify on a 16 bit new Layer when Graphic Processor is ON, and then reopened and converted it to 8 bit when Graphic Processor is OFF:

So,

lots of new version, lots of bugs or "features" which seems to be great according programmers or management, but is really NOT GOOD for profi work. PSD, the same LR..

I think than adobe HAVE TO return to his former position of SOLID partner or - lost his position be leader in the market.

Workaround for Mac users (I do it and it is ok) - if U use Time Machine or have backup BEFORE the last PSD update - then:
- quit PSD
- go to Application folder, find Adobe Photoshop CC 2015, rename app to Adobe Phoshop cc 2015.xxxx (for instance)
- copy older app from backup to appropriate folder in Application
- start PSD and make sure this is the old one - liquify have white background

Enjoy (and sorry 4 my "massa-bob-english")

Even with pressed option (Alt) key while starting Liquify I meet the following:
When I mask the area which I do not want to be affected with Liguify, Photoshop crushes.
Here is crush report:

Just do what I did and roll back to the previous release. Better than trying a workaround I left a how to roll back post a free posts up

but the new UI is so pretty!

[richardh88667413]

Any update on when this will be fixed. Same issue with Windows 10.

[richardh88667413]

Downloaded and installed the latest version of Photoshop CC this morning and this afternoon while using the liquify tool, after I finished with that tool and clicked OK, it took me back to the photo but there is a lighter colored box around the area that I used the liquify tool on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Has Adobe acknowledged that they are aware and working on this bug yet?

Yes, they have a post near the top of this message feed.

When using the Liquify filter on a 16bpp image, it creates block of higher brightness when used with graphics card acceleration. Using an 8bpp image or disabling OpenCL acceleration works fine.

System:
Windows 7 x64
AMD HD7870 w/ newest Radeon Crimson driver
Photoshop 2015.1

on mac osx push alt while selecting liquify in the menu works or use 8 bits image

Liquify: Upon accepting changes within the liquify filter, an odd, inverted colored square shape appears on the original photo in the locations wherever I worked on in liquify. This began happening after updating Photoshop to the newest release about three days ago (12/2/2015)

I just lost an hour of retouching. Highly UNPROFESSIONAL Adobe!!!

[Autantpourmoi]

alt + clik liquify should work or use 8 bits image

[munecito]

That "workaround" is clumsy at most.

The best solution is to roll back to the previous release so people can get on with editing they way thy always have done.

Althought mostly imperceptible downsamppling to 8-bit wastes a lot of information from the RAW file and turning off graphics acceleration is silly. Why would people spend money on better more capable graphic cards not to use them?

[munecito]

My advice would be to roll back photoshop to the previous release until this is sorted out.

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Using 8bit files is not a workaround for people who require 16bit files and shouldn't even be suggested by Adobe. I hope Adobe fixes this issue quickly.

Did nobody test liquify in 16bit mode? That is a big miss.

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

The workaround is not so complicated. Just liquify in 16bit like normal, but instead of accepting, save the mesh and cancel. Then, ALT-Liquify only to load the mesh and accept.

(while you're at it, notice the other bug I've reported for about a year now, the cursor disappears when you save and load a mesh)

[munecito]

Problem is. If I ALT liquify Photoshop crashes. So the workaround is rubbish.

Roll back is my choice of solution for the time being.

What I would like to know is WHY this wasn't picked up in testing? Chris has previously assured us that all releases are fully tested, but surely any comprehensive automated regression test suite would have picked up a problem as basic and obvious as this?

Not good enough Adobe, really not good enough....
