P: Sky Replacement Crashes after latest Update

[defaultw5xvlvy1d2j0]

After updating to the latest version of Photoshop, now when I try to use Sky Replacement it keeps going into a Program Error: "Could not complete your request because of a program error".

I just used the sky replacement option on some drone shots a few days ago.

Then I tried today with my normal process - Import into lightroom, combine photos in HDR, then edit in photoshop, then sky replacement. When I click sky replacement it pops up with the alert       "Could not complete request due to program error" and it won't even open the sky replacement box. Both Photoshop and lightroom are up to date, I've tried restarting the programs as well as computer but I'm still getting the error code.

I can't even find a forum for this so I'm not sure what to do.

Hi there,
After the update to 22.5(Windows german Version), the function replace sky no longer works. I get the error message: "The process could not be carried out because a program error has occurred". After that, I have to close Photoshop via Task Manager because the application has stopped responding.

Hello, I am running 22.5.1 on my Imac running Big Sur, and am here to tell you it has not been fixed. I have tried launching this numerous times, and still no success. I have tried with disabling the graphic processor and enabled. No difference. In fact, when launching the Sky replacement, it doesn't even give me the dialog box to have me choose a replacement sky. It automatically applies one, and then freezes the whol application. I have to "force-quit" the app every time, thereby losing my work. Any updates or other items I can try? Thanks

Have you tried the 23.0 update that was released today?
