"Operation Could Not Be Completed" when opening Liquify

[kotsy]

Hey, all

Having this message coming up when I open up the liquify tool and can't get out of it. My only way out is to shut down Photoshop (by opening task manager). I've already tried resetting preferences and installing the previous two Photoshop updates.

It's hard to answer this without more info on your system. But, please check compatibility with https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/system-requirements.html - paying special attention to the GPU.
And, you can try completely clean uninstalling Photoshop, using the Adobe Cleaner Tool https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html - then, restart the computer and reinstall.

Hope that helps.

I don't have a dedicated GPU but have never had this issue with liquify before. I'm running Intel i9-9900K on a ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-E GAMING board and 16GB of memory. I'll try this cleaner you've suggested.

It appears that CC cleaner tool has solved the issue. Thanks so much for your help!
