P: Photoshop 26.2 adjustment layers grayed out on cmyk file.

As subject states there are several adjustment layers that no longer work on 26.2 and beta. 

Made a new file - CMYK 8bit filled a layer with color, attempted to apply adjustment layer and it is greyed out. Curves, hue saturation and maybe more. 

I went back to 25.12 and it works as it should with no issues. 

Windows 11.

Known bug when called from the Layers panel.

 

Use the Adjustment panel or the menu > new adjustment layer.

Hello! Unfortunately, this is a recent bug that we are working to fix. This only effects the Layers panel "Create new fill or adjustment layer" button. As a workaround, until we get this is addressed, you can still use:

  • Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Hue/Saturation
  • Adjustments panel > Single adjustments > Hue/Saturation

All three methods produce the exact same results, there is no difference between these options.

Hi @Jen5FFC ,

 

Thanks for letting us know this made it to the release version and apologies for the trouble here. 

We've been able to reproduce this as well and will work on a fix for this. 

 

Workaround: We're able to create Curves and Hue/Sat adjustment layers via the Adjustments panel and Image > Adjustments

 

Could you check that out and let us know if it's the same for you?

 

Regards,

Pete

Hello everyone,

Here I want to report a problem given by the LAB color method. Before an update it was working correctly, I could use the curves, as well as the hue\Saturation.

With the new update it no longer lets me select the aforementioned adjustment options.
When you even click on Vibrance, it says that it can't be used for this color method.


Is it a bug or does the new update really look like this? because in this way I lose a lot in terms of processing.
How else can it be solved? Thank you

Known bug when adjustment layers are called from the Layers panel. Use the Adjustments panel or the menu Layer > New adjustment layer.

Bizarre,

On peut faire "ctrl u" ou "ctrl m" sur un visuel en quadri, mais les options teinte saturation, courbe, pour créer sur calque de réglage sont grisées pour les fichiers CMJN dans Photoshop 2025. Ça fonctionne pourtant correctement avec la version 2024.

When working on a 32bit file, you used to be able to create an exposure adjustment. Now the button is grayed out. You can still copy the adjustment layer from an older file, so the filter still works


Step 1 to reproduce the issue open a 32 bit file
Step 2 to reproduce the issue click on create a new fill or adjustment layer


Expected result: Photoshop should be able to create an exposure adjustment layer

Yes that's a confirmed bug.

 

Until the bug gets fixed you can use Window>Adjustments or Layer>New Adjustment Layer to create an Exposure Adjustment Layer.

This was an issue from the icon at the bottom of the layers panel.

The same adjustments can be accessed from the adjustments panel and the image adjustments menu.

This is weird. This is the second time in a short time that an update comes up with the same version number already installed. I already had 26.2, and got an update to 26.2. It finished in about 4 seconds, so clearly didn't do anything.

 

Anyway, nothing has changed and the bug is still there.

The point is that all the adjustment layers do work, just not from the Layers panel.

 

You have to access them from the Adjustments panel, where all the adjustments still work. Or from the Layer menu: Layer > New > New Adjustment Layer. All the adjustments work here.

 

Yes, we all agree it's a bug that should be fixed, but you can still use these adjustment layers.

 

Note that some adjustments are not available in certain image modes. This is normal and unrelated to the bug.

Today I wanted to apply the gradation curves to a layer. But I can no longer select it in the menu. The font is gray. This is in CMYK mode. If you switch to RGB then the function can be selected again. But it's pointless because the CMYK color values ​​are shifted. Other employees also noticed the problem this morning on their own machines. Please fix it as soon as possible. Many thanks, Stephan [Link removed]

i know they all work, but from different menus and that has big impact on workflow i'm used to...

and it is not first time that adobe breaks basic features...

especialy this bug is such that they could see while testing, so how they could release it?... or do they make us testers and making us paying for that?

i still wonder what's wrong with adobe last years

Known and acknowledged bug, will be fixed. Lots of threads about this.

 

In the meantime, all adjustment layers still work from either the Adjustments panel, or the menu Layer > New Adjustment Layer.

 

BTW, we're not happy about links in posts. That's considered spam. It would be appreciated if you can remove it (or a moderator can).
