Color Sliders in my new Photoshop 2024 don't work at all - they don't change when i pick a color from the Spectrum or when i change Foreground/Bacground color with X key.

I reset Preferences, reinstaled PS and nothing works. Any ideas?

Photoshop 25.1.0, Windows 10.

Correct answer Kevin Stohlmeyer

@robzartworx there is a phased roll out for update 25.2 happening globally.

If you are in a managed environment (Enterprise/Teams/Edu) you may have to reach out to your plan admin to allow access to new updates within 30 days of release.

After recent PS update (27/10/2023) to version 25.1 color palette and slider do not show proper color when eyedropper tool is used.

@Sartharion it's a bug that Adobe introduced with version 25.1, you may want to revert back to version 25.0 until Adobe address the issue.

Apparently Adobe knew about the bug in the Beta version but in their wisdom decided not to fix it and still roll out version 25.1 to the public.

Hello! I updated photoshop tonight to version 25.1, and when I went to eyedropper colors from my image, I noticed that the Color window wasn't updating to reflect those colors. (The foreground color was updating, however.)

Windows 11.

This is what happens when I try to use the color picker tool. It won’t change the color instead it stays whatever color I put it to on the color wheel itself. It also dosent change the color if I use color select so it’s not purely a color picker problem. I can make it show the correct color by switching from the color wheel to another option like the default square and back again but I haven't found any other way. How do I fix this so it goes back to normal?

PS 2024 version 25.1.0 on Windows 10. Having a similar problem.

If I select a color in the wheel, the sliders don't change (first image). If I use the eyedropper tool, it picks up the color but the color wheel and sliders don't change (second image).

When you use the eyedropper tool to pick colors, the color wheel or hue cube aren't updating the new color location. the preview of the color in the upper left of the color wheel tab shows the new color but it isnt updated on the sliders or triangle or circle.
