Black Background

[samrat5067]

Hi,

I am new to photoshop. So, the question may sound really kiddish.

When I am trying to create a new page. For example, I click create new and then select photo and go with default. Then I press create and a black screen pops in. When I try to put a new image, it doesn't seem to work as it only shows the black background and nothing else. Can anyone please help me?Clicked Create newThen Selected default and clicked createThis is what pops out and I tried to put image but it didn't show anything...still the black screen

Because it's showing the 3D workspace, I suspect the black screen shows because of the graphics processor. Go to Edit > Preferences > Performance and in the Graphics Processor Settings if Graphics Processor isn't turned on, turn it on. If it is turned on, click on Advanced Settings... and change Drawing Mode to Basic. Your graphics card might not be supported. Here's system requirement info including which graphics cards are supported:  https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/system-requirements.html

What I've noticed when I see a black background is that Legacy Compositing needs to be checked on. Do that and restart Photoshop. This option is in Preferences > Performance in the lower left of this screenshot.
