I'm Old But....

[The Art of Retouching]

I've been using Photoshop since v2.5 which dates me at around 1994 I think. I have never had so many display issues in any version of Photoshop I have ever used. I've had the same video hardware for about a 7 years, and with the newest "stable" version I am getting serious cache related issues (I can only assume). When I go to Free-Transform or duplicate a layer, I find the wrong part of the image is being displayed. I can't really describe it, just masked parts of the layer are suddenly displayed. It's odd. Unless someone on here had a better articulated version of the problem (I did not look), I am just venting and it's local to me. It's happened enough recently that I've noticed since the update.

Can you share what you're going through with screenshots or videos? I'm not sure what you're going through and how you can reproduce it just by your explanation.

Yeah, I really don't know. Thats what I was saying. Tonight I took someone's arm, duplicated the layer, and I had a girl's image from outside the crop. I saved, closed, reopened, and it was his arm again. I've just passively noticed behavior like that. Maybe just compatibility issues with my 7 year old 1080 card. IDK.

Go to preference - and Check "Deactive Native Canvas" + "Older GPU" 
And Restart.
See if there's a change.
The oldest computer I have is 1050ti. But there's nothing wrong with that. 24.6 version

With recent versions of Photoshop you need a powerful computer with plenty of RAM and lots of spare hard disk capacity. Check out the spec.

thanks for this post.  I was experiencing terrible lag in photoshop for masking, painting with the most recent update.  I found these check boxes in Preferences/Technology Previews, checked the Older GPU box which was unchecked and Photoshop was back to what it had been before the update.  I was on the verge of rolling my version back before I tried your suggestion.

Hi @The Art of Retouching it would help to get a better understanding of your whole setup. Go to Photoshop Help Menu/System Info and copy/paste details in a reply. Post only once as the system takes time to process the large amount of data.

I had another visual glitch, so thought I would share. The mask is a simply shadow, but the thumbnail display has lines all over it. It's a pointless glitch, but shows odd things are happening. I can't show the Adobe logs because I have another thread showing a completely different issue right now. Makes me very upset that we pay Adobe for Alpha level software. The next update should forget about pointless new tools, and fix the myriad of complaints I see in this forum.

'..I can't show the Adobe logs because I have another thread showing a completely different issue right now......'

Just go to Photoshop's Help>System info and click on Copy. Then paste the info into this thread. Paste only once, there may be a short delay before the info shows here. It may help us see what could be leading to the issues you describe.

I did a series of Windows 11, 10, 11 installations to figure out another crashing issue I was constantly having (pretty sure it was overheating due to overclocking). So this example comes from after several re-installs from scratch since the first in this thread.

I finally had another file-damaging glitch in the most current, base version of Photoshop. In this case, I duplicated/merged all layers and used the old Content Aware Fill. While the tool itself behaved properly, this is what it did to my Temporary merged Layer. The top corner of pixels became corrupted. In this case, I just threw it away. But for a time period I was bumbping into a series of oddities like this. That pixel information that it's overlaying is coming from another part of the image.
