Question

Blend Mode live preview not working

For a few days I have experienced Photoshop's live blend mode preview not working. When hovering over a blend mode, the image maintains the appearance of the selected mode and I must select the new mode to see it change. I have also seen that only half the image (to which I am applying the mode) changes with the preview while the other half stays in "normal mode." 

 

I have been googling the issue but it appears no one else on the internet has encountered it. The only possible cause I can identify is the fact that I'm working in a 10 gb file, which my laptop (usually) does effortlessly. I'm having no other problems technically, but this tiny issue is giving me quite a lot of grief due to the frequency with which I use it!

 

I have Photoshop 24.4.1 and Mac OS Monterey 12.6.5

 

If anyone has insights into what I can do to solve this I would be very grateful! Thank you!

It appears that currently, when the borders of the image touch the edge of the artboard, the live blend modes do not work, but when offset slightly, they do work! So problem mitigated but very odd.
