P: (Win/macOS) Filtering layers by color changes for certain colors when switching between documents

Bit of a long title, but that's what going on here. I think this has to do with when new colors were added to label layers with.

 

I am on Photoshop 25.6.0 on Windows 11.

 

Here's what I did:

  1. In the Layers panel, change the search to "Kind" to "Color".
  2. Change the color to search to "Fuchsia".
  3. It returns the correct layers.
  4. Switch to another open document and switch back.
  5. It will now be set to filter for "Gray" layers.

 

It seems the following colors to search get swapped out on switch:

  • Seafom changes to Magenta
  • Blue changes to Seafoam
  • Indigo changes to Fuchsia
  • Magenta changes to Violet
  • Fucshia changes to Gray
  • Violet changes to Blue
  • Gray changes to Indigo

 

So if you start with filtering for Magenta and Tab between documents, it will cycle from Magenta > Violet > Blue > Seafoam > Magenta. This cannot be intentional. The colors not mentioned worked just fine.

This looks like it is linked with a similar bug to action colours I reported in 2023: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/photoshop-action-colours/m-p/14584963#M806660

 

Just referencing that here too so the two can be investigated together depending on which is picked up first 😀

Neat observation! 

It seems I can reproduce the issue in principle, though I haven’t checked all the combinations.
