Question

Bug? Clipping mask pixel bleed/stamp onto other layers, undo not possible

I was painting in Photoshop 2020 and eventually one random square of my clipping mask would bleed or better said stamp onto other layers, especially the back ground. This was not undoable so I have to do the parts the bleeding happened on all over again. I am pretty new to digital painting, so I really dont know what happened but it is really frustrating because the painting took me quite some time... I would like to know what happened so I can avoid this problem in the future. Maybe it has something to do with the PNG quick export I did?

Thanks in advance!

Nice painting 🙂

That does look like a GPU issue. I can't make out what is on layer 9 though in your screenshot and whether that is caused by the issue or is unrelated.

If it happens again, try zooming in (all the way to 100%)  and out again and see if the problem disappears, which would confirm that it is just in the preview rather than in the document itself. If it is, start with your GPU drivers and ensure that they are up to date.

    Thanks a lot! 🙂

     

    Yes, that could be, although I never had an issue with it even while working with way bigger files. I had nothing else opened on my device and I have an RTX 2060, so I dont know why it has those hiccups.

    In a previous version of my project which was not that high resoluted I had the exact thing you are describing, with the zooming in and out it went away. But in the more later thing it would just stamp the pixels and I had to smugde everything out to get rid of it.

     

    I reinstalled photoshop now and made sure my drivers are up to date, hoping it fixed the issue. If it reoccurs, I will give an update.

    Thanks again for the response!

      Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences (Photoshop > Preferences > Performance > Graphic Processor Settings) and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue? (edited)

        Maybe that could help, but the file itself is destroyed unfortunately, so I have to wait until it happens again maybe. 😞 I did work in versions though, but when I wanted to open the version before the latestversion it also got this weird bleeding, as if it was a virus infecting all my psd files I have 😧 Thanks for the response!
