Weird colour glitch
I'm running on an old iMac (specs below) and got this weird glitch when applying one layer as a 'color' overlay on top of another. I worked around this and applied the colour in a different way ... but what was odd was that toggling the color layer on and off produced different pixel glitch effects ... in a boxed area that was not defined in the mask or anywhere else.
Is this because Photoshop 2019 no longer supports my GPU properly?
The 'performance' preferences pane is auto-detecting and applying ATI Radeon 5720 OpenGL Engine setting.
Should I enable 'legacy compositing' or something else to make Photoshop render stuff better on my old system?
Regards,
Peter
