The image is flickering when watching in full screen mode

[rapidphoto123]

I was hopeful with the new Bridge (2023 v13), the annoying image flickering would disappear; it didn't. So when I watch a picture in full-screen mode, the photo is flickering. If I load the image again, the flickering might stop or not.

Does anyone have the same issue, and what could be the solution?

(MacBookPro 2019 / macOS Monterey)

Thanks,
Daniel

I have the same issue. Windows 11.  It just started with the new release.

I have the same issue on my Macbook but not on my Windows 10 PC. When I start a slideshow in Bridge I get about 4 or 5 good stable images then everything starts to flicker at something like 1 a second. I thought it might be something to do with screen refresh or rendering of images in Bridge but if Adobe have been unable to suggest a fix, what chance have I got! It only started when I updated to Bridge 2023. Doesn't flicker on Windows 10 though.

I have the same problem. So far, so good with unchecking "Use Software Rendering" and "Generate Monitor Size Previews" in the "Advanced" section of prefereces. I'm using a Mac Studio and Monterey. 

As this is an on-going problem, carrying over from prior versions, please let us know how you were able to solve the problem. A flickering preview in a photo editing program is simply unacceptable.

Thanks,

Jim

So, I quit Bridge and relaunched and the flickering has returned. Maddening. I checked Preferences, and the selections I made in the comment above are the same; they didn't magically revert to the default settings.

Please, Adobe, please fix this.

Thank you.

Pc users, did you check this help document? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/troubleshoot-screen-flickering-in-windows-47d5b0a7-89ea-...

I love it when in great anticipation you follow a link, only to get an error 404 message.

I have managed to sort my problem myself. It is a problem that I had ONLY on my Macbook and when screen sharing on Zoom.

On my PC, if I open Bridge with a folder of images - the intent is to share a slideshow of the images. If I then go to Zoom and share my screen with Bridge, then start the show - there's no flickering.

On my Macbook if I do the same thing I get flickering after the first 4 or 5 images at a rate of something like 1 a second which I thought could be something to do with screen refresh or rendering of images. If I stop sharing, open the slideshow in Bridge and THEN share screen, there is no flickering at all so it looks like I have to have a different sequence of events happening in the Macbook than on my PC which is what totally threw me. I have no idea why this happens and why I solved it myself but I did. Any technical explanation would help me to understand a bit more though.

Sorry, it was for windows users, and I tried to clean the link, turns out the crap characters were needed.

Thank you for sharing the additional information.

Adobe does not let me update to this version of Bridge on my MacBook Pro 16-inch. How about fixing the bug in the 12.0 version please?

[jimkahnw]

Mohit. As stated in another reply, the update seems to work, so far. But a new problem has emerged and I don't know if it's related. The previews are cropped; before they were scaled to fit the screen. I mentioned this in another thread, and included screen shots, but I can't find the discussion to provide the link. See attached. Thanks, Jim.
