Photoshop 2024-2023 produce unexpected results

[davidw60476771]

Hi I have been using the photocopy filter for a long time to produce silkscreen seperations. However this last week something has definatly changed. Now when I use the filter on an image it produces realy dark effects. With the setting all the way up on both sliders its almost usable, but its doing some wacking things to the black areas. So after reproducing this in both 2024 and 2023 (which has been working fine uptill two days ago), I started playing with it and OMG photoshop is inverting the result both in the preview and the final result.

So my advice to others who are having the same isue is, if you want a light effect go dark in the preview. If you want a dark effect go light. Then just invert the result and bob's your uncle.

Its a bit hit and miss because you don't really get to preview it, but its better than nothing 😛

To the team at photoshop Dev. W.T.F?

@davidw60476771 my photocopy filter is working just fine - are your foreground and background colors reversed in the toolbar/color panel?

Thanks for the reply, but no that was the first thing I checked.
Cheers

Can you share a screenshot showing the errant effect in the Filter Library panel on your image with your toolbar colors in view?

Here is what I get with white foreground/black background:

and if I hit D for default and go back to black foreground/white background this is the result:
