After most recent update Photoshop CC crashes when I use the polar coordinates filter

Hi

I've just tried it on a couple of images without any issues.

Can you give some more details on the image mode, size etc and the exact steps you are using so I can try and replicate exactly

Dave

Having the same issue.  Tried 3 different images, even shrinking one down to 1000x1000 and it still crashes.

Hi James

Anytime my Adobe apps start acting funny, I go through this process and it fixes it most of the time. I uninstall and reinstall BUT I make sure to choose the option “Yes, remove app preference” (image attached) when doing it.

Once that process finishes, start the installation process and look into the “Advanced Options”. Uncheck “Import previous settings and preferences” and choose to “Remove old versions”. (image attached)

Hope you find this helpful!

Hi Jim

Before uninstall/reinstall try the following:

Go to Preferences >General > Reset Preferences on Quit then restart Photoshop. That will reset your preferences.

Only if that does not work would I do an uninstall/reinstall and yes, I would use the desktop CC app to handle the process.

You're welcome

Hello Dave,

I also tried everything listed in this tread and for some reason Polar Coordinates is no longer working. I JUST used this over a week ago to render a tiny planet and it worked flawlessly. I updated Photoshop and now the feature is useless.. I deleted preferences and even uninstalled/reinstalled, deleted my system's cache, and refreshed the registry. Nothing works.

Thanks,

Jimmy

An update to last night's issues. So the Polar Coordinates works only if I switch my document from 16 bit to 8 bit. This has never been a problem before. I tested it today on my work computer, which is four years older than my home computer, a lot slower, and lacks a proper graphics card, and the same thing happened --16 bit crashes; 8 bit works. Both computers are running the latest version of Photoshop CC. I am beginning to think something might be buggy in Photoshop's latest update.

Hi

I've just tried again and can get the crash with 16 bit images. (I thought I'd tried 16 bit when I tested earlier, but I can certainly get it to crash now). I have raised a bug report at the link below - you may wish to add your comments

Thank you so much! Though disappointing it isn't working for you either, it's a relief we all have the same problem. I thought I was going crazy.

Sorry I have not posted, have had some family issues.

1. tried clearing the prefs, rebooted, tried again, no joy.

2. uninstalled - removing prefs - rebooted, reinstalled (no prefs), still no joy

3. noticed twirl didnt work either.  Tried on multiple photos

4. gave up for now, didnt have time to mess with it.

hopefully, this is a bug they can fix and get it working again asap.

Hi

Can anyone who experiences the problem please add comments (including your system details) to the bug report below:

It will help Adobe narrow down the issue.

Dave

Quick update.

Since I raised the bug report earlier, Adobe have confirmed they can reproduce the problem and are "actively working on a fix". For progress please go to the link in my last post.

Dave

This should be resolved in the update to Photoshop that is now available. Please open your Creative Cloud, update Photoshop and let us know how it goes!

Thanks

Hannah

Thanks Hannah - confirmed as fixed here.
