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?

If you don't see it, show a screenshot of your Preference panel and tell up your PS version.

At this rate I am going to end up with an epileptic fit with all this flashing on my screen.

I have tired the below without any joy - does anyone have further advise or options I can try?

 

  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

Bonjour à tous,

Plusieurs bugs :

Adobe Ps 2023 ( (24.3.0) :
1- Impossible d'ouvrir fichier  ou créer nouveau  fichier . Un clignotement blanc apparaît. Désinstallation dans Programmes et fonctionnalités et réinstallation mise à jour dans AdobeCC ne règlent pas le problème.
2- Règles des  pixels (px, cm, pouces, etc.) n'apparaît pas malgré la case cochée Affichage des règles (problème identifié dans version précédente de Adobe Ps 2023, avant dernière mise à jour qui ne fonctionne pas)

Adobe Ps 2022 ( (23.5.5)) :

1- Pastille rouge (indication de la dureté) du pinceau, du tampon, etc. n'apparaît plus


Merci pour l'assistance et la résolution de ces bugs 
Cordialement

I have the latest version of Photoshop 24.3.0. I have an NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 with the latest drivers installed. I have a desktop. I can't open or create a document without the screen flickering. I'm running a Wacom Cintiq with the latest drivers. This problem just started last month. I'm running Windows 10. The Photoshop processor says my card is compatible (4GB VRAM). Can someone please help me? Thank you.

Hello. I have exactly the same problem. When I import a visual (pdf, jpg) into Photoshop, the visual does not appear. Instead, the screen sends flashes of light at high speed (stroboscopic screen). I uninstalled Photoshop then reinstalled it, but it's the same thing. A few days ago, it worked perfectly. I tried to open several files, but it's the same thing. Your solution (Enable "Desactivate Native Canvas") does not solve the problem. Please suggest something else.
