Hi all,
We are happy to announce the release of Photoshop version 25.2, which incorporates the resolution for this particular problem. To see the list of all fixed issues, click here
Remove tool doesn't work for me either, gives the error "Could not complete the request because of a program error". Windows 10 22H2 build 19045.3208 here. I've tried the "more stable" settings, disabling GPU, updating video drivers, uninstalling/reinstalling. The feature has never worked for me. My system passes the GPU compatibility test. I really hope someone at Adobe is working on this.
I just addressed a specialist , so following an hour of controller , checking with gpu drivers , different form various things , they are at last able to stop a report . I don't know whether their designing group even consideration as of now yet I connected them this string .
form beta 24.5 got eliminate device working , eliminate 24.4 and 24.6 no ( including the freshest 24.7 ) , the primary application doesn't fill in too
I have tried the suggested answer of changing the preferences, but on both the regular and beta I get smudges. Too bad I had just showed the team how to use this with great result and now none of us can use it.

Yes, everyone that gets the error message about the Remove Tool not working seems to be on a Ryzen 3000 CPU (me included). Unfortunately, I don't think this will get resolved.
Manuel25116822d2l5, I wish I could disagree with you. Seems like they're just shuttling us from thread to thread and ignoring us. I wonder if they're even discussing a driver update with the Ryzen 3000 series to address things from that end...
Then I will have to cancel my subscription if it is not fixed... The Remove Tool is working perfectly for Ryzen 3000 CPUs on Beta 24.5, so as NellPSmage very rightly said, the dev team has changed something in the next versions, which for some reasons isn't compatible with Ryzen 3000 CPUs...that something could well be the Generative Fill...
I agree, the ONLY good thing about subscription-based applications for the consumer, is that we always have the latest version with the latest features. What's the point if they don't support their product? I don't think the Ryzen 3000 is some niche product only a minority uses?
Eliminate instrument doesn't work for me either, gives the blunder "Couldn't finish the solicitation due to a program mistake". Windows 10 22H2 form 19045.3208 here. I've attempted the "more steady" settings, handicapping GPU, refreshing video drivers, uninstalling/reinstalling. The element has never worked for me. My framework breezes through the GPU similarity assessment. I truly trust somebody at Adobe is chipping away at this.
Dispose of instrument doesn't work for me either, gives the bungle "Couldn't complete the requesting because of a program botch". Windows 10 22H2 structure 19045.3208 here. I've endeavored the "more consistent" settings, debilitating GPU, invigorating video drivers, uninstalling/reinstalling. The component has never worked for me. My structure breezes through the GPU closeness evaluation. I genuinely trust someone at Adobe is working on this.
i have exactly the same problem with both PS and PS Beta, have no help from Adobe (i'm not the only one... ) , a shame for a company like Adobe , we are clients!

Are you saying you had no reply from Adobe Employee @MeredithStotzner when you followed her instructions in the post that is marked correct and sent her the information she asked for?
Are you talking about the black smudge issue or the error message? Because I'm talking about the latter, and unfortunately these two different issues from different threads got merged into one.
The error message when using the remove tool. tried all other steps outlined here and nothing worked for me. Had to roll back to 24.5 to be able to use it.
Curiously enough... After not having the incredibly helpful REMOVE tool work for several days with 24.6.0, yesterday it suddenly worked again for about five or six applications, and then it started acting up again and created blocky black areas.
I'm still running Mac OS 12.6.1 due to some video conversion apps that later updates to the Mac OS disabled.
When this tool works, it is completely remarkable! For example, I had a photo stitch of 30 images where there was a gap of no information in the blue sky in the center of the image with some high altitude cirrus clouds.
I really preferred the height of the composition that would include this area that was missing information. In the past, I would painstakingly use the clone and healing brush tools to create that missing sky information. However, in short order, using the remove tool over this blank area of the canvas created a completely believable continuation of the strato cirrus clouds against the blue sky! Truly remarkable, and a MASSIVE time saver.
