Hello.

 

I use the latest version of Photoshop, the imac 27inch MacOS high sierra system.

 

All adjustment layers, during adjustment, are not displayed on the image. That is, there is no preview.
The effect of the layers is shown only after their adjustment and application.

 

For example, I’m setting up a gradient map - the image does not change, just don’t move the sliders. But after acceptance - the settings are displayed in the picture.

 

Tell me, please, can there be a way to get the preview w

Do you have Preview checked in Gradient Map dialog?

It works if you configure the sliders in the gradient editor as it should (the preview does not show) and without accepting them switch to the properties of the gradient map .. I tried to reinstall Photoshop, CC and even the OS..

Are you talking about adjustment layer? There isn't preview for Gradient Map adjustment layer as with destructive gradient map from Image > Adjustments > Gradient Map. The only way to see preview offered when using Grad. Map from Image menu is to convert image or layers to Smart Object layer and then to apply Image > Adjustments > Gradient Map which will be applied as non destructive filter in that case.

Hi - There is no preview checkbox option in Adjustment layers - however the impact of moving a slider is shown immediately upon releasing the slider. No need to close any dialogue
