Remember I said That There's a Problem with Photoshop? I FOUND A FIX!!

A couple weeks ago, I made a video demonstrating the new features found in the latest version of Photoshop, Photoshop 2025. That video is here:

In that video, I mentioned that one of the new features didn't work at all for me and demonstrated why. Adobe contacted me and told me how to make it work properly. I'm sharing what Adobe told me in this video.

Thank you for the follow up and as always thank you very much for an informative presentation!

[gosman]

It works on my old computer!! You just gave this prudent guy more life on his desktop!!

[j.j.mahanyjr]

Thanks as always very informative. I beleive the "bug" was with Adobe as I had a similar problem on by PC. When I contacted Adobe directly they told me the problem with my GPU, however following recent update to Photoshop it seems to be working well.

Right on, Anthony! You are correct. The beta version seemed to work flawlessly. In the live version I was struggling with a particular photo that provided poor results. When I just changed the specific setting you guided us to, I had to select (Editable, people) several times--because everyone was very close together--but the process eventually worked. This was a big fix! Thank you so much!

Thanks for the video. The fix was very easy to implement. Tried the remove tool on several different photos with great results!

[murugan]

It has amazing technical aspects, and we should be patient, while observing your tutorial, great 👍🙏

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this solution, Mr. Morganti. I had the problem and just applied your fix to Photoshop on my Intel iMac and for the first time I was able to remove a background person.

Thank you! Anthony! I haven't been removing people yet in PS 2025, but since the 2025 updates, PS 2025's Remove Tool, (not in beta) and which worked perfectly for me in LrC's Edit in > PS had become very unstable. I could use PS' Remove Tool once, but multiple uses crashed PS again and again. The same setting change Adobe recommended for your remove people issue also fixed my PS Remove Tool issue.

Thank you Anthony! I use a 2017 iMac and every time I tried to run the new remove distractions tool, it crashed. I went back to the previous version of Photoshop as there were too many issues with the latest version. However, this simple fix seems to have fixed everything. 😊

Thanks Anthony! I just used your fix on my AMD PC and it worked perfect. Now I can finally process my National Parks images because it is almost impossible to get a shot without people in them.

When I use the remove people option, it doesn't just take one credit, it depends on the number of people in the photo several credits are taken, I don't know if that's another Photoshop bug.

[RonComstock]

When there is too many people, set up on tripod and take about 20 photos. People will move and not be in same place. Load images into layers, convert to smart object. go to layers - smart objects - stack mode, choose minimum. and it will reduce the people. Then try the remove people tool on a copy of the image not as a smart object.

[sakritone]

Thank you this was a great updated to this amazing tool in PS. I am in awe how well this works and since I have the same problem when I travel and you cant get rid of people in the frame. Hats off to all the smart people in Adobe that can achieve this type of wonderful tool. They really deserve an Oscar for "Special Effects" if there was such a thing for SW !

[martinwedgeyt]

I tried all permutations of the settings that you showed but still not working on my Windows 11 home PC. Thanks any way. M.

[dsimons]

Thanks for posting. Interesting. I attempted the same process you recommended, but was not as fortunate. Using a mac mini with an M1 chip.

[stevejarvis]

Great video and easy work around Mr Morganti, thankyou, except I have to change Photoshop and Photoshop Beta Preferences on my desktop and laptop, and I guess that, when an update of either software comes along, I`m going to have to go in aand make this change again?

[isoawe]

Thank you Anthony. My MacBook already had this option clicked and I still will get this error message occasionally

[nowayjose]

Hello Mr. Morganti, I think it's time for you to change your iMac with an Intel presesor, sold my iMac and replace it with a MacBook Pro M3, now all the LrCC and Photoshop processes are done quickly.
I appreciate all your videos. Thank you very much for so much help.

[molusco]

Thank you very much. That was driving me crazy. Now I get to keep some of the few hairs I got left. By any chance you or someone watching this is having problems when saving an image back to lightroom? used to be that when I hit Save it went directly there, now I find myself having to Sync the folder in order for the image to show up.
