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. Enable the Older GPU Mode option in Preferences > Technology Previews > “Use Older GPU Mode (pre 2016)"
2. Check if there's a GPU driver update available and update if so

For macOS:

1. Update to a newer or latest macOS version (to update the GPU driver which accompanies macOS updates)
2. Uncheck "Automatic graphics switching" found in System Preferences > Battery > Battery

If you're still having issues after trying these troubleshooting steps, the next recommendation would be to look into updating your graphics card (GPU) to something a bit more modern.

Regards,

PG

I hope this helps

Hello, my name is Willys, I'm from Brazil and today, 04/11/2023, I went to open photoshop to scan an illustration, it opened normally, but the desktop keeps blinking non-stop and I can't work.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled, restarted the computer and nothing works.

Last time I used it, it worked fine.

Another thing is that I went to check my workspaces that I had saved and they were all gone (perhaps because I had uninstalled and reinstalled photoshop?) which makes no sense, because if once configured and saved this cannot happen.

Can anyone tell me what's going on?

 I got this help response:

open photoshop>edit>preferences>technology preview>check "disable native canvas"

then restart photoshop

and responded after executing the guidance tip:

Hello, thanks for the help. I followed the guidelines, "disable native canvas", but it was already disabled and did not return to normal. This never happened, could it be another problem?

Unfortunately I haven't been able to solve it yet and I need it to be able to study, because I'm stopped. Does anyone else know what could be going on?

Next thing to try: in Preferences > Technology Previews > “Use Older GPU Mode (pre 2016); better? 

[willysd75510725]

Hello thedigitaldog, I've "temporarily solved it" (I had to deactivate my video card, but I won't be able to stay like that, because I have animations to study) I'll try all the possible tips I'm getting, and thank you for your help.

la pantalla del archivo abierto me parpadeaba y no me dejaba hacer nada ...

por si a alguien le sirve lo resolvi deshabilitando usar procesador grafico en preferencias/rendimiento ...

[Ümit294044469ceu]

When Photoshop tries to open a default file, the screen flashes in black and white, the drivers are up to date, the application is up to date, I couldn't solve the problem, I would appreciate your help.

[AxelMatt]

Goto to "Preferences" > "Technology Previews" and enabling "Deactivate Native Canvas".

Restart Photoshop and check.

I had the issue, i have a nvida geoforce gtx 660 graohics card, checking both settings fixed it for me

[juliaf55800402]

FYI my graphics card is supposed to support directX runtime 12

[jane-e]

@juliaf55800402 You can contact Adobe to ask them why your graphics card that should work does not. Staff is on this forum, but they may or may not see your post in the midst of a thread with 770 replies. Start a new post, give details, and tag it as a Bug.

Hi @juliaf55800402 your card does not support DirectX12.

In photoshop go to Edit > Preferences > Technology Previews and enable Deactivate Native Canvas, then restart Photoshop

Quando abro um arquivo com a opção "gráficos do processador" ativada, a tela de pintura fica piscando rapidamente. Alterando entre uma tela preto e branco, me impossibilitanto de fazer qualquer coisa, inclusive podendo ser um risco para pessoas com epilepsia fotossensível. Já atualizei o windows, o driver da placa de vídeo, mas até agora não teve atualização do photoshop, por isso desconfio fortemente que esse bug seja do programa. Já até reinstalei, mas não resolveu. Por favor corrijam logo isso pois trabalhar com a opção "gráficos do processador" desativada atrapalha bastante.

[Jeff Arola]

In photoshop go to Edit > Preferences > Technology Previews and enable Deactivate Native Canvas, then restart Photoshop

Then try to enable Graphics Processor and restart photoshop.

[Shahrukh Khan 9155]

Apologies for the experience. This was a known issue with the Photoshop 2023 version.
You can try to use the older GPU mode from the Edit > Preferences > Technology Previews > Check Older GPU mode (Pre 2016).

Hi @Krishna09071951 

Go to Preferences > Technology Previews... and check "Disable Native Canvas" - then restart Photoshop. Does the problem still occur?

My Windows 10 system, I show the problem in the attached video https://youtu.be/9B_2Q7Rgd8I I am asking for advice, thank you and best regards Zbigniew
