Postscript data error when trying to capture shape.

Community Beginner ,

Hi, I have recently been receiving this postscript data error whenever I try to capture a shape. After doing some research in the community, this seems to be a bug that was said to be fixed by updating Photoshop. Upon doing so, it still doesn't work. Does anyone have any fixes?

 

What the error message looks like:

@Marspluto717 since you have already did your research and found it to be bug, I would suggest to revert to a stable prior version of Photoshop that did not have this specific issue. Or, this is a big OR.... are you wanting the image to be vector artwork? If so, you could open the vector file in Adobe Illustrator and do an image trace. It does pretty good job of taking a photo and tracing it as an image.

Unfortunately, one would have to revert back to Photoshop 2023, which is no longer available, if one doesn't already have it installed.
