Photoshop Pattern Preview has bugs when rotating objects that need resolving - it makes it a lot of extra work to rotate and super difficult.

Sorry i didnt see earlier in the thread - no this did not work for me - it seems the other folks are looking to solve different issues than mine.

@abbsterrr Apologies.  It was the video from @23293237 

 

It sounds like unchecking Deactivate Native Canvas worked for Yasin.  Check your Preferences > Technology Previews and see if that is checked or not.  Whatever state it is in, try the opposite and make sure to restart Photoshop after you change that setting.  Let us know what the result is.  Thanks!

Hi @abbsterrr, are you able to see the settings that Pete shared? They worked for the other customer in this thread, curious if they work for you?

Thank you,

@Pete.Green  Thank you so much! I solved the problem with the settings you mentioned. I've shared a screenshot of the settings working fine.

@abbsterrr Thank you for the video!  Looks like the preview is not enabling and then leaves garbage behind for the next doc.  Would it be possible for you to share that file from the video with us?  

Also, can you share a screenshot of what your Preferences look like for: Performance (including Advanced Settings...) and Technology Previews?  

Thanks!

Hi @23293237 ,

 

Many thanks for the screen recording. Looks like there could possibly be some GPU issues going on. 

Do you have Deactivate Native Canvas checked in Photoshop's preferences > Technology Previews I wonder? 

If not, does it help to check that option?

 

Give that a try, and when you can, please provide Photoshop's Help > System Info dialog text in this thread here and we'll take a look from there.

 

Regards,

Pete

Hi there @Chad Rolfs @CShubert I think the issues we're having are related to the Pattern Preview feature, so the topics have been merged. I took a short screen recording of my problem. You can watch at the link below.

I am trying to upload the requested video but there is not an option for that, it is only allowing me to upload a link. I tried uploading a link to a wetranfer download. I don't have a youtube account and don't really want to make one - can you advise how to send you the video?

I am using Macbook Pro M1 Pro. Pattern Preview works when I create a new document in Photoshop. When I open any document I've worked with before, it stops working. How can I overcome this problem?
