Hello guys,

Since the last update, I'm encountering the error "Could not complete the liquify command". This happened multiple times today while I was working so every time I had to restart Photoshop. What should I do? Thanks.

Having the same issue here. Been totally locked out since the last update. Basic liquify functions will work if I disable the GPU (Preferences > Performance), but all Facial Aware options are greyed out.

Same here. At the moment PS Version 25.6.0. And don't tell me that my GPU I'm using is not sufficient. I'm using an RTX 3080 Ti with 12GB RAM.

It works after (re)starting Photoshop, but after certain period of time the message pops up and the only way I can work around the issue is restarting Photoshop. There's got to be some kind of memory leak problem in Photoshop or something similar.

Same issue for me. Just updated to version 25.6.0 hoping it would fix the issue, but it didn't. For me, it seems to happen if I've been working on an image, using the Liquify tool, then open another image to work on and try to use the Liquify tool again. I have to completely close Photoshop and re-open it before the Liquify tool will work again.

@focus1or2  changing graphic card is not the solution. My GPU has all green marks. It is an high-end GPU (nVidia 3080 Ti) on an high-end computer (i9 13900K, 64GB of RAM). Drivers and everything else is up to date...

 

It's a bug that Adobe needs to fix asap.

I actually got live person on chat at Adobe. We trouble shooted ( trouble
shot?) for about 20 minutes and came to the conclusion that my graphics
card was not robust enough to handle the latest update of Photoshop. I
discussed options with the tech rep.
1) I could just go back to the previous version of PS and just stop future
updates.
2) I could try replacing the graphics card with a more powerful version.
3) I could replace my PC for a newer model with a better graphics card. He
messaged me the minimum computing requirements for PS and the preferred
requirements.
Considering the cost of updating the graphics card on a 4 year old
computer, I decided to just buy a whole new PC equipped with an upgraded
Nvidia card and other hardware that went a bit beyond their preferred
requirements. No further problems with liquify.....BUT...
When using the Beta version of PS with AI, the advanced tools really bog
down and occasionally crashed. I'm hoping that this is just the usual
process for a new feature and the program just needs a bit of debugging..

This is super old I'm sure, but I was struggling with this today and relized in my version the image needed to be rasterized before I could use liquify.
