Hello,

Look at this message of Pete Green. I had the same problem and  it was resolveld with a simple clic.

"

Apologies for the flashing/strobing you're experiencing when opening files, this tends to affect older graphics cards (GPU) that don't support all of the aspects of DirectX 12. 

1. The first thing to try would be, enable the Older GPU option in Preferences > Technology Previews > “Use Older GPU Mode (pre 2016)”
2. If still having trouble, try enabling the "Deactivate Native Canvas" option also in Technology Previews

Regards,

PG"

Since an automatic Photoshop update of today 25/03/2023 I can't open any jpg file I've been using without problems in Photoshop before. All images open with an eternal black and white flicker. I can save the files under another name and the windows image seems correct, but Photoshop is unable to visualize it correctly. And no, the files are not corrupt, they open in any program except Photoshop. Sad quality control.

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post if it helps you get responses.

The new update 24.3 for Photoshop causes my screen to flicker terrbily.  I can't use it.  I'm using Windows 10.  I've never had this issue before.

Hi,

My Photoshop 2020 is flickering, so I did as written and turned off the Graphics Processor in the Preferences. 

But now, I can't use the rotation option, which is impossible to draw without it - the only way to fix it is to check back the Graphics Processor - then it blinks again - HELP.

Until Adobe fixes the problem, I would suggest rolling back to the previous
update that worked. For me it was the 24.2.1 release.

[Kevin Stohlmeyer]

@devious no reason to downgrade - there is an accepted answer for this issue.

[devious]

The solution doesn't work for everyone, as it can cause other issues, I
experienced a lag with brush tools and found it better to roll back to the
previous upgrade ,which worked perfectly.. Until Adobe sort it out, I'll
stick with 24.2.1 release.

[PhilRogersPhoto]

I had the same problem and turned off the Graphic Processor - problem solved!

[AuroraPenticton]

As I said above, none of the fixes mentioned here do anything. The flickering continues.

[Doc Maik]

System: Windows

PS version: latest (24.3.x)

What happened? See video. Updated to latest PS today, had this effect. Basically two things. A) crazy flickering and b) setting from New dialog were not saved

Solution: removed 24.3.x and installed 24.0.0 again, which I had before, and the problem was gone.

[Phil Wolstenholme23]

This is totally screwed - I updated last nght and now any image I load into Photoshop is not displayed, just a black and white flashing screen. I cannot use Photoshop at all. What's going on?

[Phil Wolstenholme23]

Phew - I found the fix in Preferences to disable the Native Canvas.

[Ged_Traynor]

@Doc Maik enable this option in preferences and restart Photoshop

[Doc Maik]

What's a native canvas and why this is now in PS and wasn't before?

[Doc Maik]

"Technology previews"? Holy crap! Adobe, spare us from being test guinea pigs.
