Question

Certain brush sizes cause my screen to go wonky

Running latest version of Cloud P-Shop, Lightroom and LC - in all 3 programs, when I use the brush, my screen goes wonky - gets black from a point roughly at the bottom of the brush, duplicates screen image, flickering, etc.

Only happens with a brush of a certain size. In Photoshop, that size appears to be between 200 and 400 pixels. In Lightroom, it is size 6-12.

Smaller brushes, or larger, and the screen is fine.

Using an Asus Zenbook with touch screen, which I think may be part of the issue. windows 10.

Anyone else experience anything like this?

Thanks!

I know this is an old post, but I have the same issue. I also have an Asus, but it's not touch screen. If you happened to have come up with a solution, please post.

Does this happen with all different types of brushes, caligraphic, dry media, etc?

Doesn't't matter what type - as long as I have a brush. Can be paint brush, healing brush, etc.

Also, forgot to mention that I have already turned off graphic acceleration.

 

Additionally, the exact pixel range is 190 to 384. 189 is fine; so is 385.

Just to confirm, you quit and restarted after disabling the GPU? Did you try updating your graphics driver?

Yes and yes.
