Hi All,

 

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.

 

For Windows:

  1. Update Photoshop to version 24.5 or later
  2. Enable the Older GPU Mode option in Preferences > Technology Previews > “Use Older GPU Mode (pre 2016)"
  3. Check if there's a GPU driver update available and update if so

 

For macOS:

  1. Update Photoshop to version 24.5 or later
  2. Update to a newer or latest ma

We would like to find out if there are any of you on Windows for whom:

 

A. Use Older GPU Mode is Checked, and

B. Deactivate Native canvas is Unchecked, and

C. are still experiencing this strobing issue with a GPU that supports DirectX 12?

 

If so, could you please provide Photoshop's Help > System Info dialog text in this thread?

I have the same issue.  With the latest Photoshop update 24.3.0, windows 10, the program has become inoperable, unable to open, import or edit any new or existing files - just a flashing/strobing screen.  I'm dead in the water with this update.  I have tried to uninstall/reinstall, which hasn't fixed the problem.  How do you roll back a version, so I can get back to work?  Need an immediate, if not interim solution!

OK, I was able to roll back to the previous update, which fully restored Photoshop functionality.  There is something wrong with the 24.3.0 update, at least for Windows 10.  Roll back to 24.2.1 and you should be OK.  Just be sure to uncheck "auto update" or it will try to install the problematic update again.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

 

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.

Quando tento importar um arquivo no photoshop, ele importa aparentemente da maneira correta e a camada aparece ali normalmente. Porém, a imagem maximizada para eu fazer as edições, não aparece. A tela fica simplesmente piscando, alternando entre uma piscada preta e uma branca. Seguem duas fotos para exemplificar o problema.

Hi @Mário29121402xin6 Reset your Photoshop preferences manually. Note: Reinstalling/updating does not automatically reset them so you could be installing over bad preference files:
https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#reset-preferences


Then go to Photoshop Preferences/Technology Preview and check “Disable Native Canvas” and  “Use Older GPU Mode (2016)”.

Pete.Green • Adobe-Mitarbeiter , Mar 22, 2023Hallo alle, Entschuldigung für das Blinken/Stroben, das beim Öffnen von Dateien auftritt, dies wirkt sich tendenziell auf ältere Grafikkarten (GPU) aus, die nicht alle Aspekte von DirectX 12 unterstützen.  
- Als Erstes sollten Sie die Option „Ältere GPU“ unter „Einstellungen“ > „Technologievorschau“ > „Älteren GPU-Modus verwenden (vor 2016)“ aktivieren. 
- Wenn Sie immer noch Probleme haben, versuchen Sie, die Option „Native Leinwand deaktivieren“ auch in den Technologievorschauen zu aktivieren

No Desktop,  ao abrir qualquer arquivo a tela só fica branca piscando. Achei até que fosse placa de vídeo, mas aí testei com outra placa e continuou e tb no Ilustrator não acontece esse erro. Ou seja, é do PS. Só consegui trabalhar a hora que baixei versões anteriores.
