Hi
Adobe are updating the core graphics functions in Photoshop. This is driven by the operating systems of Apple and Microsoft in which the old Open GL functions are being removed in the case of Apple, or deprecated in the case of Microsoft. This means that the graphics functions that have worked for years must be rewritten to use Metal and Direct X. At the same time, Adobe are sensibly updating those core functions to deliver the additional speed we require to handle the very large files of today.

Some functionality in Photoshop, such as 3D, still relies on the older Open GL graphics functions. To make these work, an additional preference Preferences>Technology previews>Deactivate Native Canvas has been added. This can be checked and Photoshop restarted to restore 3D functions to where they were in 22.3

Hi, thank you very much for your feedback and update. My PS is up to date.I
have also tried Clicking on Deactivate Native canvas. It's still not
working. Please keep me in the loop about the outcome on this matter.

Best regards,

Did you close and restart Photoshop after checking Deactivate Native Canvas?

Hi there,

Sorry to hear that, could you please try updating Photoshop to version 22.4.1 through the Creative Cloud Desktop app and let us know if that helps?
