Hi @richardm90561537 ,

Thank you for reporting this issue.  Can you please share your Help -> System Info and the PSD file you are using which causes the color match to break?

MacBook Pro, 2.3 GH-z 8-Core Intel Core i9. Memory 64GB

This happens on all 16 bit files for later Photoshop v22 and the latest v23

If you disable GPU in preferences any difference?

If you restore your preferences using this manual method does it work correctly?

If that doesn't solve it, you can quit Photoshop and put the Settings folder back.

Try this: Go to Preferences > Technology Previews... and enable "Older GPU mode (pre 2016)" - Restart Photoshop. Does the problem persist?

I've had the same problem. I thought I was the only one for a moment. Have you found a solution??

[J453]

Seems to be working here. Can you provide the files you're using to reproduce the problem along with a screenshot of your settings? Post a URL to the file using CC files or dropbox, or something similar to share the files.

@richardm90561537 Thanks for the files/setup - Is this the behavior you see?

I've asked engineering to take a look.

[matthewc2596631]

Yes, though more often it’s black, not white. Usually it’s solid black;
sometimes it’s white or “noise”

The Match Color tool does not work with 16-bit photos in version 2023. I have tried on mac computers with Intel and M1 processors and it does not work correctly. After applying the tool to a layer it leaves it white, black or noise.

In the new version, 24, it is now grayscale. Ugh. A step in the right direction...
