P: Using Wacom Cintiq pro pen in Liquify will crash Photoshop every time

[Guest]

I have a problem the last few months with using the Wacom pen in Liquify. After I applied the Liquify effect, Photoshop starts being unusable so I have to save my docs and restart. It is worth noting the previous version of Ps worked perfectly. I don't understand why Adobe developers always fix one thing while destroying another thing. If this was the only bug I experienced, it wouldn't be so bad, but I can start counting the bugs in the new releases. As a heavy user, I can't ignore it.

I found the crash log your submitted. I will need an engineer to look at it.

If you hold down the Option/Alt key when you select the Liquify command, do you still see a crash?

[Guest]

Sorry, I don't think I understand. How can I hold the alt key while selecting the liquify from the menu? That is not possible, goes out of the menu if I hold alt key.

We have 2 bugs we are fixing;

1. Updating Smart Object breaks liquify,

2. Liquify + Guides = Disk Error

Do either of those sound like what you are running into?  

[Guest]

I don't have problems specifically with smart objects. I tried using the Wacom pen and liquify with the raster layer and it still leads to problems. While using the mouse instead of the pen, I don't have problems, also no problems with the previous version of photoshop.

Thanks @frafilipo art We're still having trouble reproducing the issue.  Could you attach your System Info; from within Photoshop, go to Help > System Info... (copy and paste that here or into a text file and attach it). 

Also, could you provide steps you take to get the crash (including size of image you're using; ex. 3000px by 2400px @Deleted User, 16-bit, RGB).

Thanks!

Also @frafilipo art Can you update to 22.1.1 which came out this week and let me know if it still occurs in that release (in addition to the info requested in my last post)?  Thanks!

[Guest]

I updated to the newest version, the problem is here. I get the problem every time no matter the size, mode... As you can see in the video, pan and zoom start flickering, and transform is blocked.

@frafilipo art This is extremely helpful!  Thank you. Just to clarify, are you still experiencing the crash you originally reported at the inception of this post?

[chad.rolfs]

@frafilipo art I have a few more questions.  I can't reproduce accessing Free Transform on a Background layer, that is certainly abnormal and you shouldn't be able to do that.  It is possible that prefs are somehow corrupt. It's a sucky suggestion but you could try starting with fresh prefs and see if that resolves it.

I also noticed your gaming software.  If you have the mouse polling rate set high, that can result in the flickering/jumping you're seeing.  

From this helpx page: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-slow-lags.html

• If you're using a gaming mouse (Logitech G700S or similar) with a custom driver, set the polling rate to 125 Hz in the device driver.

[Guest]

Yes, I have the same problem as before, didn't change at all with the newest release. I use the normal mouse with a low polling rate as I am not a gamer at all. I am a designer working 12 hours in Photoshop daily. The problem starts only when using Wacom pen in Liquify, using the mouse doesn't produce the problem. It is not just flickering, everything goes wacky, controls, moving...it happens with any layer.

That is not gaming software but regular AMD software for updating...I don't play games at all. I hope this helps, if not I can make another video.

Older versions don't have the same problem. I first experienced the problem a half a year ago.

[Guest]

In the video, I am demonstrating using Liquify first with the mouse, then with the Wacom pen. I was using the pan and zoom, the results are as you can see in the video(very strange, it is not just flickering), and I was trying to transform the layer, but nothing happens as it is somehow locked. Everything stays like that as long as I restart the Photoshop. Once the problem starts, it happens with other documents as well where I didn't use Liquify. My guess is something triggers the GPU acceleration to go out of control.

P.S. Cropping tool also goes crazy

[chad.rolfs]

@frafilipo art  Thank you, this is great... not for you, I know, but this is great info for us to look at and fix this.  Thank you!  Your hunch about GPU may be right on, there have been recent changes in that code.

[Guest]

chad_rolfs  You are welcome. I hope the problem can be solved. I tested the same situation with Surface pro and pen and there is no problem with the Liquify. Previous versions of Photoshop like version 21.0.2.57 don't exhibit the same problem. I think the problem started when the lag about controlling the brush size with the pen was fixed. So while I can go back to the previous version and work in Liquify and pen without problems, there was that very annoying lag when changing the size of the brush which is also offputting, so I guess there is no perfect version yet:)

I have a similar problem with crashed GPU acceleration when opening more than 25 documents in Photoshop. I tested with other pc and laptops and I found that problems exist with every device I tested( I am sure you can reproduce the problem on any device). Previous versions didn't have the problem. 

[chad.rolfs]

@frafilipo art We just released 22.3.  Please update and let me know if you are still crashing in Liquify.  Thanks!

[Guest]

The problem is still there with newest release.

[chad.rolfs]

Thanks for responding.

It still crashes? 

Does the Adobe crash reporter come up for you and are you submitting it?

Or is it just the bad behavior with transform and flashing of the workspace as seen in the youtube video you posted?

Can you attach a screenshot of your Photoshop Preference > Performance and Advanced Settings... dialog?  

Thanks!

[Guest]

It doesn't crash like usual when everything freezes and you have to restart the program. So I don't get to send the report. As soon as I finish with using the liquify filter, it start flashing and misbehaving with panning, zooming, transforming and similar...

If you need additional info, I will be happy to provide.

This is really great info @frafilipo art !  The system info is really helpful and show the GPU Sniffer is crashing which is most likely the cause of that flashing and bad behavior.  I've shared this info with our GPU devs.

Thank you!

Thank you for the recent System info @frafilipo art. 

Are the AMD drivers up to date?

These are the latest as of Released Feb 22, 2021?

You are welcome. I made a video in which I demonstrate the problem  after using Liquify and pen. All the tool (marquee tool, text tool... you can see in the video how other tools are misbehaving) go crazy. BUT!!

I discovered by accident that if I use the brush tool and draw something, it will cure the problem completely. Weird, isn't it? But, if I open another document and try Liquify while using the pen, the problem will start again. As soon as I use the brush tool to draw something, the problems go away. At least temporarily, until I open another document. I hope this will help.
