Photoshop 2020 freezes when applying layer mask or changing layer opacity

[felix inden]

PS 2020:

When i edit layers and want to change the layer opacity and/or i apply a layer mask, 

the program opens this error message which i can´t close anymore. Only solution is shutting down PS and then starting again- but the error reocurrs all the time.

Error:

"invalid figure selected. choose a value between 0-100%. reverting to the last valid value"

When this pops up, the whole process is already trashed basically

Hi there,

Sorry that you're getting an error message while editing Layer opacity in Photoshop 2020. The error seems to be related to a corrupt app component or preference. Are you getting this while working on a specific file or it happen with all files and file types? 

To troubleshoot: 

You you try resetting Photoshop's preferences & see if it helps.

You may want to backup your settings beforehand:

I had the same issue. Resetting prefrences didn't help.
