It seems to be the same with the Windows version of PL 7.4. I only see the effect of moving the Chroma or Luma sliders after I release the mouse. That makes setting the sliders a matter of trial and error, i.e. unusable in the real world.
However, I’ll stick with v7.4 as increasingly I’m finding I only ever use PL for initial RAW development, essentially for the optical corrections and noise reduction. Beyond that I move over to Affinity Photo.
As a less than optimal workaround, you can increase the exposure to see the real-time effects of the luma/chroma adjustments. Going back to 7.3 is the better solution.
Another work-around (which is what I do in any case) is to Right-Click either side of the Chroma/Luma sliders - so that values are incremented/decremented in steps of 5
Another thing pointed out by @Wolfgang – moving the control point hides the mask but displays the corrections “live”. You have to release the mouse button to see the new mask. This is good for me, maybe it’s bad for others. I use LA very rarely, so I don’t remember how it worked in 7.3.
@Joanna I noticed this ehavior on Windows 10. I was astonished to see that all of my preferences had been reverted to the default state, this included "Always see high quality previews being unchecked. Checking this box fixed it.
I have ‘Always see high quality previews’ always unchecked – wouldn’t like too much heat. It takes small fraction of a second for PL to update the mask while using the sliders (with ‘Show masks’ checked) but I don’t have to release the mouse button – the changes are reflected almost live. Maybe it’s a performance issue?
Just tried control point again and now I can reproduce the OP problem (but on Win11), which I couldn’t reproduce some two hours ago. Restarted DPL and the problem is still there. I just can’t believe my eyes.
Edit: User error, as explained in my next post, sorry.
I think I’ve found explanation for the weird behavior described in my previous post.
In the first case, I had set Exposure=-1.0 correction, so while moving the sliders, the corrections were displayed live, which made me think the mask was updated too. It was also a specific photo to get confused.

I have the same problems with PL 7.4. How can I revert to PL 7.3?
I would be very grateful if someone could give me some brief instructions. Thank you very much.
