P: Select Subject Crashing / Freezing

Thanks Jeffrey,

I found that turning off my GPU had other adverse effects including the crippling of some of the Filter and Filter Gallery tools. So I kept playing around with the GPU settings and found that I can solve the freezing problem with the following settings.

I turned the GPU back on and set it to Normal mode. In the Advanced panel I selected the following settings:

Checked...

Use GPU to Accelerate Computation
Anti-alias Guides and Paths

Unchecked...

Use OpenCL
30-bit Display (I don't have a 30-bit display)

From my experimentation the OpenCL setting is the one causing the freeze to occur. With these settings my GPU is still functional and the Selection and Refine Selection tools work as expected.

I hope this additional information is helpful to the engineers as they continue to research and fix this bug.

Regards,

JC

Thanks. This issue is being worked on.

I found a solution. It appears my graphics card has an issue with this new Photoshop release. It's an Nvidia GeForce GTX 770/PCIe/SSE2 running the latest Nvidia driver 446.14. I tried the Basic, Normal, and Advanced GP settings which did not resolve the problem. Turning off the GP completely in the Ps preferences did resolve the issue. I have yet to see issues with the GP with my other Adobe applications including LrC, Bridge, or Acrobat.
