Black specs appear on liquified image

Hi,

I am using CC2019 on Mac running 10.14.3

I discover black specs appearing all over the image after liquified.

The issue remains after uninstall the application.

I do not have this problem using CS5 on the same machine.

I have Topaz software installed as plugin in CC2019 and not sure its the cause?

Attached an image for reference.

Thanks!

Lee

    This is a big issue for a lot of people right now. I would encourage you to check out the following page which discusses known compatibility issues between Photoshop and macOS(Mojave). I have copied and pasted SOME of the relevant information below.

    Known issues - Running Photoshop CC on macOS 10.14 Mojave

    Black artifacts on image after using the Liquify filter

    Workarounds:

    Rollback to macOS Mojave 10.14.1.

    or

    Run Liquify without graphics acceleration:

    • Hold down the Option key when you select Filter > Liquify to disable the Use Graphics Processor option when launching the Liquify dialog.
    • Disable the Use Graphics Processor option in the preferences.
    1. Choose Photoshop > Preferences > Performance.
    2. Deselect Use Graphics Processor.
    3. Quit and relaunch Photoshop.
