Photoshop Elements 2027 crashes when using Fine Tune for Color B&W Photo in Quick Actions.

Issue

In Photoshop Elements 2027, you may encounter a crash when you click Fine Tune for advanced editing after applying the Color B&W Photo Quick Action.

The issue occurs in the following workflow:

Open an image in the Quick room.

Select the Quick Actions panel.

Apply the Color B&W Photo Quick Action without first using another Quick Action.

Click Fine Tune for advanced editing.

Photoshop Elements crashes.

Note

The one-click Color B&W Photo Quick Action works as expected and applies the effect successfully. The issue occurs only when you click Fine Tune to access the advanced editing options.

Workaround

To use the advanced editing options for colorizing a photo, access the feature from the Enhance menu instead:

Enhance > Colorize Photo
