Action issue with Level value

Hi all!

Im trying to resolve something and i need help.

I just made an action in wich i add a adjustment layer (levels) and i change one of the outputs to 80 (while i'm recording). Then i make a couple of othe adjustments like, adding a layer and a fill, then i stop recording.

 

Now here the thing:

When i playback the action it does everything, except to change the value to 80. What could be the issue here? Because when i look in the panel i see the change(see attachment)

 

 

Thanks in advance

    Save your Levels as a preset, and it will fix your action.

    Tested and confirmed.

    I experienced the same issue in Photoshop 26.0. My current solution is to install an older version of Photoshop (e.g. PTS 22.2), create and save Actions, then load it into the latest Photoshop. Hope Adobe fix this soon. Here is my Actions:

      R
      r-bin
      Brainiac

      My opinion is that it's a bug.

      In the Actions terminology there is no (never was) "gray" channel for grayscale images.

      There was always a "black" channel.

      They messed something up in the new Photoshops and now Actions for grayscale files may not work.

        When recording the Action, try deleting mask after creating the Levels layer.

        Then make the necessary correction (80, 255).

        In this case, the Action should record "current channel" and it should work.
