a Photoshop forum user suggested me to post here my issues with Photoshop and a MacBook Pro 15" GPU. So here I am! I don't know if it is better to report here the same text, so to start I invite you to take a look to the original post here.
Hi *cloudres , we're still here. Our engineers are working with a number of fixes where Photoshop is improperly or not recovering fallback from the GPU to CPU.
I had the same problem also without using Nik Collection plugins. So I'm not totally agree.
Randomly when I works on more files, PSD or NEF, zooming or something like that, then the more powerful GPU turn off and I need to restart Photoshop to use again the discrete video card.
I repeat, I never had this kind of problems before. It is something related to updates of this year. Many people seems to have similar problems.
Could you help me?
To answer to your last question, I use Nik Collection since 10 years. It is part of my workflow as freelancer photographer.
Closer to this problem, on same machine 2017 with 4 core и7 and 16 Gb of RAM, when opening files (nevermind jpg psd or whatever) file renders as broken somehow.... something like repeating scaled preview....
disabling Native canvas in preferences/Technology Previews seems resolved the problem.....
The bigest problem now is that latest update to Photoshop 25 brings me a lot of lag.... when loading application, when opening file, when working with text.... It's seems that mac needs some time between opening app, and loading file... like needs time to cash everything that's needed.... Same lag, and on file close.... even mouse going to be slugish for some second when Photoshop closing....
I was with the believe that this macbook is enought powerful, but may be Im in some self-delusion....
