Adobe Color Themes and Photoshop 2020

hello,

I use Photoshop 21.2.8 instead 22.x, the reason is that new version is extremely broken on my hardware (RTX 2070), so the only way to use it with GPU acceleration is to use 21.x.

I also use Adobe Color Themes extension to work on color harmonies.

In the past I have seen stability problems with ACT, but today there is a text that Adobe Color Themes will be removed (!) in July.

Could you tell me why? Will it be removed just from PS 21.x or from each PS?

As an aside - what issue are you getting with your GPU. Photoshop 22.4.2 works fine here with an RTX2080ti

I was searching for help for long time, I pay for PS every month so this is really annoying that the software doesn't work, my only solution was to downgrade to 21.x

Thank you. It means that even if they add it to PS back again it will be only in newest version which I can't use because it sucks.... damn. I wonder what are my options now. How can I arrange my color harmonies?

It means they won't add it back in any version. It's history. The color themes panel is not color managed (while Photoshop itself is), and everything you see in the panel is displayed as Monitor RGB. It will not match the actual document, and it will give different results with different document profiles.

It's also a message in photoshop 22.4.2, the latest photoshop version.
