Hi!
I hope someone can help me. I have an issue with the liquify tool, which works fine for every photo but one folder from a certain date, it will not work. I get the error message that 'Could not complete the liquify command because the file is locked, you do not have the necessary permmissions, or another program is using the file'
I have checked everything,everywhere. Its not locked as far as i can see, the permissions are the same, its all the same as the other folders. I have restarted twice, logged out and back into Adobe and everyhing is up to date. I'm on a Dell Laptop, thats about all I know there.
Anyone have any idea, please?

What have you done for all-purpose trouble-shooting so far?
Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be a good starting point:

Probably not because I have not experienced the issue myself and no absolute solution seems to have come up.
Do you have administrator-rights on your computer?

I previously got the same issue. Then, I found out when I turned off "Use Graphics Processor" in "Perfomance", I could use it normally, but yeah, it also slowed my flow in Liquify. Hope my solution useful!

I am having the same problem. It started after I updated to 25.11.; the issue resolved after I reverted back to 25.9.1. Please fix this!

What did you actually do for trouble-shooting before rolling back to 25.9.1?

I'm tired of the [abuse removed] at Adobe coming up with new ways to "improve" Photoshop. I have been paying good money to Adobe for at least 25 to 30 years. I want a Photoshop this is stable and works. Some of us actually use Photoshop for our occupation, so fix this bug in Liquify pronto. For those of you in Rio Linda and Adobe, that means fast! I'm 67 and I don't care what the excuse is... just get it done! Nolan Conley

I solved the problem, go back to Photoshop V.25.7 and the Liquify tool works.

Well, let's see... If Adobe takes in an average of $30 from I guessing around a million "renters" of your software, that should provide you with about $30,000,000 a month. What have I done for myself? I should be serving my clients with fine software. Not spending my time troubleshooting.

One needs to keep one’s own computer in working order, that’s not something one would want Adobe to do.
So basic trouble-shooting can become necessary every now and then when working with Photoshop (and other software) – so again: What have you done in that regard?

I had the same problem. Try this it might help. It did work for me.
Open image
Duplicate layer (it works on background layer too, but it's easier to see result)
Select person you want to edit with liquify (use object selection tool)
Go to filter and liquify.
Hope it works for you.
