Sky replacement not working (does not detect sky)

I've been using the sky replacement feature for like a year or so without any trouble until recently.
Now when i go to edit > Sky replacement, it opens the tab, load for a few seconds, show me an error saying "could not replace the sky because no sky was detected", and closes the Sky Replacement's tab.

I have no idea what it could be. I've tested different images, file formats, etc and none of them work anymore.

I've have already tried to uninstall, install again, didnt work, unistalled again removings my preferences, installed again, still didnt work.

I have the same photoshop version on my notebook (photoshop 2023, its the adobe subscription version) and it works over there.

Anyone have any idea of what it could be?

I've fixed it:

Apperently it was and video driver compatibility issue. I've re-installed an older driver version (AMD graphic card) and it worked again!

@Yves Mion this post is about a previous version of the public release of Photoshop.

If you are having issues with the beta version please post a new thread here:

thnx! I have been searching all over for this! I reinstalled several past versions of PS and nothing worked until I updated a Radeon driver. It would have been easier if MSI would have had the right driver on their site. I also deleted and reinstalled MSI Center. You saved me. Thnx!

I've just tried to install an older version, still have the issue. I'm out of ideas 😞

Thanks for the reply. 

I've just reseted the preferences, but still getting the same error.

Is there a folder with all the default skies that photoshop use to replace?

In a first step I would reset the Photoshop preferences.
