P: Color Distortion When Opening Images saved from Facebook in Photoshop 26.5

After updating to the latest version of Photoshop, we encountered an issue where images saved from Facebook from the previous year display color distortions when opened in the program. However, images saved recently from Facebook open without any issues and display correctly.

Hi @optimistic_skill_av,

 

Thanks for the update and sharing the screenshots!

 

In addition to what Stephen said, it would be helpful for us to investigate this rendering issue further. Could you please do the following:

  • Attach the original image file (which appears distorted in Photoshop).

  • Share your system’s GPU details

  • Go to Photoshop > Help > System Info, copy the entire content, paste it into a text editor (like Notepad or TextEdit), and attach the file here.

  • Try temporarily turning off GPU acceleration in Photoshop (go to Preferences > Performance and uncheck Use Graphics Processor). Let us know if that changes how the image renders.

This information will help us determine whether the issue is a GPU rendering issue, a JPEG decoding bug, or something else.

 

Appreciate your help!

 

Best,

Anshul Saini

Hello!

Unfortunately disabling GPU didn't help.

It is the same - again I attach original Photo at FB

Hi @Carl237604068he1,

 

Thanks for the update and sharing the screenshots!

 

In addition to what Stephen said, it would be helpful for us to investigate this rendering issue further. Could you please do the following:

  • Attach the original image file (which appears distorted in Photoshop).

  • Share your system’s GPU details

  • Go to Photoshop > Help > System Info, copy the entire content, paste it into a text editor (like Notepad or TextEdit), and attach the file here.

  • Try temporarily turning off GPU acceleration in Photoshop (go to Preferences > Performance and uncheck Use Graphics Processor). Let us know if that changes how the image renders.

This information will help us determine whether the issue is a GPU rendering issue, a JPEG decoding bug, or something else.

 

Appreciate your help!

 

Best,

Anshul Saini

That's okay, feel free to moderate however you find fit, just as I'll air my grievances as an All Apps Suite paying customer and being forced to make almost monthly visits to the Adobe Community whenever I update an app and something breaks.

I’m experiencing a persistent issue with image rendering in Photoshop 26.5 on macOS Sequoia 15.4.1, using an M1 Max MacBook Pro (top spec, 2021). Whenever I import images—whether JPEG or PNG—they appear distorted in Photoshop: washed out colors, horizontal banding, and a noticeable shift in tones. The original files are totally fine and display perfectly in Preview and other apps.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

  • Fully uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop (including removing preferences)

  • Disabled "Use Graphics Processor" in Preferences

  • Disabled OpenCL and any Metal rendering (when available)

  • Ran Photoshop in Rosetta mode (issue still persists)

  • Updated to the latest macOS (15.4.1 Sequoia)

  • Tested with multiple image formats and brand-new documents

  • Verified it's not template- or file-specific

  • Reset color settings to sRGB IEC61966-2.1

The issue has been ongoing for a few weeks and affects all images regardless of source. It also existed in the previous Photoshop version I had installed before updating to 26.5.

I’m currently installing Photoshop Beta to see if the issue is resolved there, but this feels like a deeper rendering bug specific to M1/M2 systems or the Sequoia update.

Would love any input or a timeline on a fix—this is seriously impacting my workflow.

Thanks!

Hi @EdenTaylor! Welcome to the community!

I'm sorry to hear about the issues you're having with Photoshop. If the problem persists even after disabling "use graphics processor," it likely isn't related to your graphics card. Do you have any third-party plug-ins or fonts installed? Sometimes, outdated or incompatible ones can cause various issues.

Could you also share your System Info with us? You can find it in Photoshop under Help > System Info. Just copy the info to a text file and attach it to your response, or share it through Google Drive, WeTransfer, or another file-sharing platform.

Thanks a lot! 😊

HI @Aleke

Thank you for the reply. I was able to fix this issue by installing and using Photoshop Beta and disabling use Graphics Processor, but it did not work in regular Photoshop. 

 

No third-party plug-ins or fonts installed. 

Here is my system info, attached.

@CMass, no it's not "so curious", it's "so frustrating". This is why people pirate your products and forfeit updating. Adobe products are unreliable as professional tools due to updates almost consistently breaking things.

 

This shouldn't be happening with stable Photoshop versions. I just discovered this issue when saving a few Facebook images from my clients' FB page and at first thought it was either a RAM, GPU or disk issue. But no, it's good old Photoshop f*cking up after another update.

 

Do tell the team about the curious, cute, ha-ha issue. It reads the data as uRGB and causes massive artefacting and misplaced color. All of us paying for the All Apps Suite sure are idiots..

Hey @5449385, 

 

Totally hear you—this kind of thing is frustrating, especially when you're just trying to get work done and an update throws a wrench in it. A bug has already been filed with the team. I've also added more context to the bug based on your experience with artifacting and color. Please follow this thread for updates. In the meantime, if the issue wasn’t present in the previous version of Photoshop, I recommend rolling back to that version for now: https://adobe.ly/3YCdiGW

 

Please also remember that it's okay to express your frustrations and that we appreciate constructive feedback; however, we will enforce the Community Guidelines.

My system: Mac Ventura 13.7.1 / Photoshop Beta 26.6.0

Colleagues system: Windows 10 / Photoshop 26.5.0

 

My colleague and I over the last week or so have found that some Jpegs given to us to work with are opening with a strange purple, liney hue. We're both experiencing the issue with the same files, but don't know what it is that's causing it or how to remedy it. This is probably the 4th Jpeg image this week we've had this issue with, so it's not limited to this file.

 

 

I found an identical thread here from 2021.

 

It doesn't happen with all images, and the affected images look normal in the file picker thumbnails.

 

 

I tried the top solution in the old thread, changing the Camera Raw settings so it auto loads it, but that gives me an error, so I reverted those settings. 

 

 

Currently, we're screenshotting previews of the images as low res placeholders but need to fix this to finish the projects properly.

Hey, @DhallNash. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I'll need more info to help you figure this out. 

 

What is the source of these images? The team is investigating a recent behavior with images downloaded from the internet, such as Facebook: https://adobe.ly/3Epfbju

 

Additionally, I've also seen a few reports with a similar distortion pattern with horizontal lines reported here:

Could you share a few sample images that appear as corrupted with me via direct message? Upload a few sample images to any cloud file-sharing service & share a public link with me. 

 

Thanks!

When opening images in Photoshop from Lightroom useing the AdobeRGB color space the images noticeably change in shadow areas where the blacks become washed out and lose detail. This issue also occurs when switching between the Develop and Library modules in Lightroom when the HDR option is disabled in library. Disabling GPU acceleration in Lightroom's performance settings results in poor quality across the board. Enabling the HDR in Library option helps maintain consistency in Lightroom, but the black details still wash out after exporting to Photoshop when using the AdobeRGB color space.

 

The only time my images look correct is in the Develop module with GPU enabled or in the Library with HDR turned on; this does not carry over to Photoshop or during exports in AdobeRGB, even with GPU enabled for exports.

 

My monitor is calibrated using hardware calibration tools, and I’ve ensured that I have the proper monitor profile selected before opening LR or PS and the color profiles match in both programs. I've tried various monitor calibration profiles to rule out corrupted ICC files..

I'm using a Mac M2 Studio, OS 15.4, Lightroom version 14.2, and Photoshop version 26.5.

 

EDIT: As May 29th 2025 I have spent 2 months working with the Adobe representatives and engineers. Countless hours have gone into this issue on my end, but no solution or public statement has been provided form the people at Adobe.

This has been reported by some Mac users over the last couple of months.

 

See this thread, which includes very simple steps to determine which version is correct:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/photoshop-not-showing-correct-colors-update-after-3-weeks-of-troubleshooting/td-p/14600182 

 

There are two known workarounds, which may or may not work. They don't solve it, but they let you keep working.

 

One is to make sure you are not using table-based (LUT-based) monitor profiles. It does not work well in MacOS. Some calibration software make LUT profiles by default, but then there will always be an option to switch to (much safer) matrix-based profiles. Similarly, avoid v4. Use v2.

 

The other is to switch from Adobe Color Engine to Apple Color Engine. That will in some cases reduce the difference (if not eliminate it entirely). It's still a bug, it should obviously be correctly treated in both.

Thank you for your response.

 

I appreciate the information and have already reviewed the thread you linked. I've checked my monitor calibration settings and experimented with both LUT and matrix-based profiles, ensuring I am set to V2, though I also tested V4 without noticing any improvements. Additionally, I have bypassed all calibration and used generic profiles, but unfortunately, this too did not lead to any changes. I also switched the conversion engine from Adobe to Mac, yet still did not see a difference.

 

This issue is significantly impacting my image production and, consequently, my business. As a professional software, I believe Adobe should be held to high standards, especially given the investment in subscription fees for these critical tools. 

 

I feel that Adobe needs to addresses this bug so those of us who pay their wages can get back to work so we can continue to do so.. Thank you for your attention to this matter; but I have found no solutions, and I feel a working editing platform is crucial for many users like myself.

It's just images from Facebook that are causing issues.  Do you want us to just repost images downloaded from Facebook?  You can just grab any image uploaded to Adobe's facebook recently and see it for yourself, if you're curious.  For example, this image that promotes turbo-actress Awkwafina.  If you download it and try to bring it into an up-to-date version of Photoshop, it'll do the purple-ish green-ish distortion.

As far as I can see, it's exclusively happening with Facebook images.

The image displays correctly in Photoshop 26.4.1, and reports the embedded profile to be Adobe RGB.

It also looks fine in Lightroom Classic 14.2.

After updating to PS 26.5, the image displays as you describe, and the embedded profile is now reported as uRGB, which apparently is a variant of sRGB created by Meta.

Converting to sRGB or Adobe RGB does not fix it. I have no idea what's going on here.

@CMass Can you pass this on to the Photoshop team please?

I'm having this issue as well.  It's an issue with the way Photoshop reads facebook images.  This is entirely on Adobe, and there's little you can do about it.

I've had success with running images through media converters online (the kinds that convert annoying formats like AVIF into something actually useable) and turning them into .png files.  But yeah, this is for Adobe to fix.  There's nothing you can currently do.  And despite what Adobe Support will tell you, the person on the other end who has 8 years of photoshop experince and has dealt with this issue several times is lying about both of those things.

Hey @Chanitpon370485241xu8

Can you share what your color space is? You can find that by going to Edit > Convert to Profile and looking at the Source Space. Does it do this only to these images?
