"Enhance Detail" issue - white layer

[DanielPlateado]

Whenever I try to use the "Enhance Detail" tool, it does not work and a white layer is generated (see the screenshots below). The issue occurs in both 8-bit and 16-bit images.

My setup: Mac Pro (Late 2013) 64GB RAM on Monterey 12.7.5 and Photoshop 25.11.0

According to PS my graphics card is compatible (OpenGL, Metal active, and 2GB VRAM)

You are right on the edge with your video card and the age of your system, you may be out of luck with the AI features.

Hi @DanielPlateado, yes, as @Lumigraphics points out, your system might at fault. What does your GPU Compatibility Check indicate? (Help > GPU Compatibility). Have you tried adjusting any of the Image Processing settings under Preferences to see if that makes a difference?

Does the white layer happen with any image you try? How are you masking the cat? Adding a new mask layer? Painting with adjustment brush? Are you using the Masking slider (with alt/opt to see the mask) on the Detail panel? I'm also curious to know if you are working in Camera Raw directly on a raw file or on a PSD that has been converted to a smart object for non-destructive editing.

In Photoshop 2024>Preferences>Image Processing>Enhance Detail Processing, you might try switching the method.

That is if it's set to Faster, then select More stable, restart Photoshop and see if that makes any difference.
