Since a few days, Photoshop freezes each time when using image --> adjustments --> Replace color. I'm on Windows 11. I tried on the PC of someone else, and got the same issue. Anyone else encountering this problem? Any suggestions how to fix it?

Hello everyone,

 

An update for Adobe Photography products has been released as part of the MAX cycle. This update addresses the reported issue.

 

If you don’t see the update in your Creative Cloud app, refresh it using [Ctrl/Cmd] + [Alt/Opt] + [R].

Please note: It may take up to 24 hours for the update to appear.

 

Thank you for your continued patience.

I tried every fix I could find on the web.  If they worked it was tempory or else a new issue came up. I reverted back as it still works fine. As I had mentioned in a previous message I will wait until a new update comes out before trying again.

SAME HERE!! This is so frustrating. Crashing all the time!

Same with InDesign: if I try to replace a character style's color. I'm going to revert to older version

I had an issue with color replacement tool after updating to the newest version of Photoshop. There was an offered fix that did work. However, now the new Photoshop freezes at update brushes when I attempt to open it. The only way for me to use the program is to reboot my computer. I have just reverted back to the earlier version. I will update again when Adobe comes out with a new update. Hopefully it will be better than their most recent try.

My Photoshop keeps freezing when, on an image I click 'Image' the 'Adjustments' then 'Replace colour'. This brings up a 'Replace colour' Dialogue box. If you then select a particular colour on your image with the picker, it will show you that colour in a result box. By clicking this box you can open up a colour palette to pick a resulting colour from. Every time I try to move the slider up to a different colour Photoshop freezes. The only way to get out of it is to goe to task manager on the PC and shut it down. 

Is this a bug with Photoshop? Does anyone else have this issue? Thanks.

Hola comunidad,

Desde la última actualización al trabajar sobre archivos y abrir una ventana emergente: selección de color, niveles,.. el programa se queda congelado sin posibilidad de seguir trabajando, la única solución es cerrar el programa desde el administrador de tareas de Windows (11 Pro), No es debido a problemas de memoria o cpu ya que estas entan al 35% y 15% respectivamente como máximo. 
A alguien más le sucede este error?

Gracias
Un saludo

@cr34tive_director try disabling this option in the preferences and restarting Photoshop to see if it helps

Hi,

 

Photoshop Freezes when changing colors Image > Adjustments > Replace Color.

 

After selectin a color section in the image.

I opened a iname/adjustment/replace color. 

 

In the second panel,. it lets me select one color to change it.

 

But when I tried to select another color, photoshop is already completely frozen.

 

I have to use TASK MANAGER in windows ro end the program.

 

Thanks!
