Question

Color Glitches (Desaturates) Every Time I Draw

This happened about a month ago when I started to really get into digital art. When I paint on the canvas, the colors go from normal to a little desaturated, and just keeps on repeating. I will lay down one stroke and the colors are fine. I lay another stroke down and it is a little desaturated. Another stroke after that and the colors go back to normal. It happens so frequently that it looks like it is glitching sort of. 

 

I don't know what is wrong with my photoshop, but help would be greatly appreciated. I will post a screen recorded video to further clarify.

Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences (Photoshop > Preferences > Performance > Graphic Processor Settings) and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue? 

Does turning on »Deactivate Native Canvas« (Photoshop > Preferences > Technology Previews) and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

I think the first tip is working. Tried it out this morning and it didn't seem to glitch anymore. However, I will keep testing it out to make sure it is fine. Thank you for your help.

Are you working with multiple screens and multipple GPUs? 


I have 2 files open when I am working in photoshop. One for reference photos and one for the canvas.
