Artifact Issue with GPU Compositing and Artboards

[J. Stuart Johnson]

I’m experiencing an issue with GPU Compositing, multiple layers, and artboards.

I’m working on an RGB, test image 3848px by 8548px with 6, standard layers, on an Artboard. Big- but nothing fancy or out of the ordinary. Now, it has been a few months since I last worked on something this size, but it has not been an issue previously. And this piece is far simpler than previous work on the same system.
The artifacts occur when I try to use the built in Hard Round – brush, using either the brush or pencil tool at 100px. When I try to paint a zig zag pattern from bottom to top, artifacts
appear midway through the stroke.

• Togging the layer off and back on again clears the artifacts, so the stroke is being applied correctly.
• Hiding one or more layers prevents the artifacts from occurring.
• Turning off GPU Compositing in Preferences/Performance/Graphic Processing Setting prevents the artifacts.
• Adding a 7th layer and filling a selection and moving it also causes artifacts.
• This issue doesn’t manifest itself with quick masking turn on.
• It seam artboard related, if remove the artboard via "Ungroup Artboards". The artifacts nolonger occur. 😁
• If I remove or replace layer six the artifacts still occur. 😥 Issue occurs.

Things Also Tested:

• I cleared my Photoshop preferences. 😥 Issue occurs.
• I tried it in the latest Adobe Photoshop Beta. 😥 Issue occurs.
• I installed, rebooted, and reinstalled:
  Adobe Photoshop Version: 24.7.0 20230719.r.643 efe3886  x64 . 😥 Issue occurs.
• I tried reverting to 24.6, 😥 Issue occurs.
• I disabled Display Fusion and rebooted.  😥 Issue occurs.
• I disable MS PowerToys and rebooted.  😥 Issue occurs.
  
  

I ran the “Show GPU Compatibility” test in Photoshop/Help.

Your graphics processor is compatible:

• OpenGL available
• OpenCL available
• DirectX available
• DirectX feature level 12.1 available, feature level 12.0 required.
• Above required VRAM (8038 MB of 1500 MB required)
• GPU Detected: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti (NVIDIA)

My NVIDIA drivers are up to date:

NVIDIA GEForce RTX 3060Ti  Driving Primary Monitor
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Driving 2 additional monitors.

I don't think it's system related. Here is my setup.

Hi @J. Stuart Johnson Go to Photoshop Preferences/Technology Preview and check “Disable Native Canvas”. Relaunch PS.

[J. Stuart Johnson]

Thanks, @Kevin Stohlmeyer, I just tried it...no joy. I tried with "Ungroup Artboard" on and off, and with and without an artboard. The major culprit here is art boards. 

My work typically doesn't use artboards, which explains why I've not come across this issue before. An artboard was added to my project automatically when I selected a web layout preset and I didn't notice. I then increased the height and scaled it three times for production for this illustration to keep the aspect ratio I needed.

Removing the artboard fixed the issue, but this bug needs to be addressed at some point.

Hi @J. Stuart Johnson 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.

Hi @J. Stuart Johnson It could be your Intel 630 dragging you down. It doesn't matter what screen you use Photoshop on - it's reading your entire system. Try running through the solutions on this page:

https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/troubleshoot-gpu-graphics-card.html#multiple-gpus

[J. Stuart Johnson]

I disabled the Intel 630 and no longer in use. However, the artifact bug still occurs.  Avoiding art boards appears to resolve the issue. Luckly they are not necessary or appropriate for this project. Since I only need one execution, I can work around it.  I have tried PS 25.0 yet, finger crossed. 

[D Fosse]

@J. Stuart Johnson  You still have two GPUs and that's still a problem. You really need to run everything on the RTX 3060Ti.

Photoshop uses the GPU for actual data processing, and the result returned to Photoshop for further processing. The issue is not which monitor Photoshop happens to be sitting on. This is about data processing in the GPU. 

Dual GPUs are fine for simple applications that just send data downstream in a one-way flow. But PS doesn't work that way. This is a potential conflict and there can only be one GPU in this equation.

[J. Stuart Johnson]

Removed the nv1050ti, and I'm still getting artifacts. I doubt it's a Multi GPU or even a GPU problem. I use most other 2D and several 3D packages and never had an issue with multiple cards or in Photoshop for that matter until now.

Just to make sure it's not some kind of memory failure, hardware, or software conflict with my nv3060ti.  I tried on my laptop, an Intel i7-1165G7 with Iris X3 onboard graphics. Listed as fully compatible using GPU Compatibility and I can reproduce the same error with the exact same parameters.

Here is want I did.

1. Create a new document: 3848px x 5656px, 72dpi - RGB with Artboard checked.
2. Fill the background layer with 50% gray.
3. Add a new layer.
4. Using the paint brush with "Hard Round" brush at 32px, Choose a color any color.
5. On the newly created layer and paint a big squiggle from top to bottom.
6. Add a new layer, and repeat, until you reach layer 7.
7. Upon reaching layer 7 artifacts should begin to appear.
8. Now hide any layer below 7 and try painting on layer 7.  No artifacts occur.
9. Now click on artboard in the layers palate and "Ungroup Artboards" Shift + CTRL + G, use under the layer's menu choose "Ungroup Artboards"
10. Then try painting, no more artifacts.

[D Fosse]

OK, got it.

Then it seems to be a bona fide bug, and a good reproducible case that has eliminated a lot of other possibilities. This should help the engineers track it down.

[uesix]

Discovered the same issue with a iMac Pro and working graphics card. I have to turn of GPU Compositing to make it work. or diabling filters, which are placed in layers on top of the drawing layer.

[amirs90447]

I have exactly the same problem with Photoshop 2024 v.25.2.0 abd Photoshop 2023 v.24

-Only happns when artboards feature is active and "Use Graphics Processor" option is enabled

-The problem is fixed when you use artboards without GPU, or No artboard with GPU

-GPU: AMD Radeon 6800, CPU: Intel i5 12400, Windows 11, RAM: 32GB DDR5

[Kevin Stohlmeyer]

With the latest release of Photoshop public (not beta) 25.2 go to Technology Preview and check "Disable Native Canvas" that option was missing in 25.1 but is back now.

[amirs90447]

The deactivate native canvas did not work for me, but I found a solution that really works!

Seems like the problem is with intel GPU, since when I disabled it from the BIOS, the issue is gone! You can also disable it from device manager.

[fmnijk]

Same problem in NVIDIA 4090 so I think the problem is not intel GPU.
