It was a 16-bit Greyscale file, about 200mb with an adjustment 
(curves) layer. Only happens with 2.3 not 2.2.4

I put a shortcut in the PS 'Helpers' folder, which shows up in

Tried that, made no difference. Only thing that worked was 
converting to 8-bit.

As I mentioned above the problem files are big, I'nm not sure it's 
worth the effort. I installed this mostly to see if I could generate 
a curve for the R2400 yet, (no problem with that) but I din't 
actually have one yet. I'll try a few different 16-bit files and see 
if I can detect a pattern & get back to you.

Thanks,
