    Hey, @Steve5D6E. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. Please share the system info from Photoshop Help > System info > Copy & paste into a text document > upload & attach here. Does this happen with any image? 


    Try changing the Select Subject mode in Edit/Photoshop > Preferences/Settings > Image Processing > Select Subject to Cloud & Selection process, then restart Photoshop to see how it goes.


    Thanks!

    Hi, what hardware are you using? What version of Photoshop are you using? What graphics card are you using? It could be a compatibility issue or system resource issues.
