Maybe try this :  Go to Preferences >Technology Previews and check Deactivate Native Canvas. Then quit and restart Photoshop; any better?

Hi there,

 

Sorry that Photoshop is showing a black screen on top of  the Layers you work with. 

 

Which version of Photoshop are you using and what is your computer's OS?

 

Would you mind deselecting the option "Use Graphics Processor" located in Photoshop's Preferences > Performance, then relaunch Photoshop and let us know if it helps?

Thanks,

Hello,

I am using MacOS. Yes, I have tried deselecting the "Use Graphics Processor" and that didn't work.

I will review your next proposed steps and see if that works.

 

Thanks for your help!
