Using the liquify tool give the following look. There is a box around the area liquified that is lighter than the other areas. When I turn of Use Acceleration in Graphics Processor, it is better but .... I didn't have to do this in the prior version i.e.. Yesterday.

New Update: The Squiggly waist is the liquified:

My advice would be to roll back photoshop to the previous release until this is sorted out.

That "workaround" is clumsy at most.

The best solution is to roll back to the previous release so people can get on with editing they way thy always have done.

Althought mostly imperceptible downsamppling to 8-bit wastes a lot of information from the RAW file and turning off graphics acceleration is silly. Why would people spend money on better more capable graphic cards not to use them?

Liquify: Upon accepting changes within the liquify filter, an odd, inverted colored square shape appears on the original photo in the locations wherever I worked on in liquify. This began happening after updating Photoshop to the newest release about three days ago (12/2/2015)

When using the Liquify filter on a 16bpp image, it creates block of higher brightness when used with graphics card acceleration. Using an 8bpp image or disabling OpenCL acceleration works fine.

Windows 7 x64
AMD HD7870 w/ newest Radeon Crimson driver
