Thanks, Jeff. On my version of Photoshop it's Edit -> Preferences -> Technology Previews. You were correct that unchecking Enable Modern User Preference and restarting Photoshop brought back the previews. And I didn't need to enable the Graphics Processor. I really appreciate the information.

If you go to Photoshop 2025>Settings>Technology Previews, uncheck Enable Modern User Interface, then restart Photoshop, does that make any difference?

Hi!

Can you give us a little more information and show us a screenshot of your window and all of the panels? What are the steps you are following when this happens? If you can tell us more about your process and when/how this happens, we will be able to help you more effectively.

Thanks!

I use either Curves or Shadow/Highlight in nearly ever image I process. By having the preview in Shadow/Highlight checked, you can view the effect of the sliders. After updating to v26.11, that went away. I had to roll back to v26.10 to get that ability back. I wondered if anyone else is experiencing this problem, or if it's unique to my PC. Thanks.
