I have been getting the same error ("Could not complete your request because of a program error") using the healing brush, which led me to this thread. Photoshop 22.1 on Windows 10 build 19042, AMD 3950X, RTX2070 Super.
I posted earlier regarding the Spot Heal issues I was having with version 22.1.0. I've been using the same version on my laptop for the past three days and have issues at all.
Both are I7's with 16GB, the key difference is the Graphics cards; Desktop GTX780; Laptop GTX 960. I mention just in case someone from Adobe is looks at this thread.
I will try and down grade PS on my Desktop to 21.2.4 as suggested earlier. I don't recall seeing an option for this on the Creative Cloud though.
I find PS CC 2021 ACR unusable (slow and painfully lagging). I am trying to run on my i9 Dell Laptop w/32GB RAM and my i9 Dell Desktop w/64GB RAM.
In order to finish my ACR editing I finally had to go back and launch PS CC 2020 and things seemed to smooth out. I would be happy to assist in beta testing fix / updates.
Yes, me - and countless other users - have reported that performance (especially subjectively felt 'snappyness') CONSIDERABLY dropped with the latest 'updates'...
It's so absurd: 3 years ago I could work on 16-bit images without noticing any lag whatsoever.
With the current PS version I have to compromise with 8-bit and still feel some lag. And that with a considerably faster machine.
It's sad (but somehow understandably....), that Adobe neither responds to messages like that nor really understands the graveness of the situation concerning the long-term future of PS given the current business behaviour - but probably doesn't really care as a company. 😕
There's a cycle of ups and downs of civilizations. And there's a life cycle of software programs. Maybe Adobe has given up in modernizing PS code or investing in it any further and just accepts an end of it's lifetime in the medium future, milking customers till the end (which makes total sense from an economic point of view - unfortunately not from an 'artistic' point of view of loyal customers like me).
I don't understand how a software package like PS could possibly be released (2021) with an issues like it has with the slow ACR features (useless at this point). Yep, back to version 2020 and hope for a quick fix to 2021.
Well my issue literally just started today. Was using the spot healing brush on one are moved to another area and bang "can not do to error". move to another area and it works fine. Opened a another image to test worked no problem. Closed it and went back to my original image and it started working again...UGGH Adobe starting to look a lot light Microsoft.
Having this issue too. Here is something that I have noticed: The program error is almost always located in the same area of each photograph that I am working on: just left and up slightly from the center of the photograph. This has been on multiple images over and over again. One other observation is that the error occurs more often with longer strokes of the spot healing brush than with short strobes or dabs.
I do hope that there is a fix for this soon as it is causing a overall problem here at work.
This does not work. I have tried it. Had to revert to a previous version 21.2.4 as this update and the previous update are terrible. Not only does this spot healing brush not work properly giving the error message but the tools lock up (on both MAC and PC) turning the tool into a mouse icon. To fix this I have to save and close the file and reopen the file. Then it may happen again. 22.0.1 is the worst version of Photoshop I have had to deal with in over the last 25 years.
I have this problem, it's very annoying and I've wasted 2 days. I have also problems with my Nik efex, which have not been solved by purchasing the newest version.
I'm getting the error again today and can't get past it. This is really killing my ability to get things done. I've tried turning layers on and off, restarting PS. I might get in one heal and then it fails again
another thing that happened this morning was I could not adjust the size of the healing brush. The brush settings were grayed out and the brackets did nothing
