Suddenly, my Photoshop 2024 (v. 25.12) will no longer launch Liquify. (In searches, this has been a periodic issue. I've tried the various fixes, but none seem to work.) The exact same image edited in Photoshop 2023 (v. 24.7.1) launches Liquify and works without a hitch. (Because PS has become buggier since launching the subscription-only model, I always keep one or two back versions for exactly this reason.)
I am using Liquify on a PSD file, but the same occurs regardless of file format or program used to create that file from RAW. The error in the latest version of Photoshop is "Could not complete the Liquify command because of disk error." This is obviously BS because the earlier version of PS has no issues whatsoever completing the command. I also discovered that some of my plugins no longer functions but others do.
Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution that works? I work on a PC Desktop, Windows 11, 64GB of memory, lots of scratch disk space and SSD space, Radeon graphics card with 12GB RAM. Thanks.
