Just when I thought my photoshop experience couldnt get any worse, the program is now crashing on me every single freaking day now and ALWAYS while Im flatting and doing selections. But whereas before it would freeze and I would have to close it with task manager. Now it freezes my entire and closses on its own. I cant even do the usually tricks that I would usually do to avoid a crash when this happens, and its so f**king infuriating as you can imagine. This is even worse than when it would crash on a weekly basis in the first 3 months of this year, and I am praying to God that I dont have 3 crashes happening in the same damn day again...

 

I need help.....

Just for more color to the convo @KentheArtist, I keep GeForce Experience installed (Windows 10) and I haven't had any problems with Photoshop 25.0 crashing or poor performance so far. It seems to be working much better than the last two versions for me. However, I don't keep the In-Game Overlay enabled until I want to use it. I'm running the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 with the latest Studio driver v537.41 (release date 09/21/2023). Also note that I uninstalled Photoshop Beta, as that was initially giving me some conflicts with the 25.0 Release.

Use the Snipping tool that come with Windows. You can save the image or copy it, then paste it elsewhere (such as into a forum window). You can keep it on the Task bar or use Windows key+Shift+S.

But don't use GeoForce with Photoshop.

What's wrong with Print Screen or the Windows snip tool for screenshots?

@D Fosse Damn.... I dont really know what else to say because the GeForce Experience has a screen capture option. I use it quite regularly and I would prefer not sacrficing it for Photoshop. I dont intend on using the program quite heavily in the near future, as my plans are to begin using a different program for my art and comic work, with Photoshop taking a support/secondary use. And fortunatly, for the time being at least, Photoshop has become stable since I made started the thread, which allow me to get my project done on time without any losses of progress or hiccups. So I hope you can understand my reasoning as to why I dont want to sacrifice GeFroce Experience for a program that will no longer be my main source of creating digital art soon.

The general advice is to not install GeForce Experience. It has caused problems in several documented cases.

 

You can obviously make screenshots in any of the standard ways. I don't know if there's a special tool in GeForce Experience that you prefer.

@Ged_Traynor Finally getting around to installing the studio driver. I just have one question however. If I click "NVIDA Graphics Driver" instead of "NVIDA Graphics Driver and GeForce Experience", will I still have the ability to screen capture? I would like answer soon because if does former does not include the screen capture feature, then Im sorry. I can not install that version of Nvida. I do the screen capture feature quite regularly and it would be a shame to use it. Though I wonder if there would be any difference if I decide to go with the latter

Sorry for the late reply @Ged_Traynor 

Im kinda shocked I have to do another gpu driver update. I literally updated my driver early this year and its already out of date?! I guess these driver updates are more frequent than I would've imagined. I'll give it a try later today, though I have my doubts, Im hoping this will do the trick 😞
