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?

Hilfe!!!

Ich kann meine Bilder egal welches Dateiformat nicht Mehr bearbeiten. Sobald ich in PS ein Bild öffnen möchte, flackert dieses und es hört nicht mehr auf. Die Funktionen KÖNNTE ich theoretisch nutzen, alle Bedienfelder funktionieren, aber ich sehe halt mein Bild nicht. Auf der rechten seite des Programms bekomme ich immerhin die einzelnen Ebenen angezeigt, kann die Ebene kopieren tec. Aber es kommt nicht das Bild. 

Wenn ich nicht bald Hilfe bekomme, habe ich ein ernstes Problem!!!

Try enabling "Deactivate Native Canvas" in General Preferences and restarting Photoshop; better?

Hi,

I have changed my SSD-M2 from original 128GB to 1TB  on All-in-One HP Envy 27-b170na with integrated Intel graphics 630. I have cloned the original SSD and all works fine but Photoshop. I have re-installed it twice and it does not help.

Whenever I try to open any file - PSD, JPG etc - screen is flashing white and there is nothing I can do.

Has anybody experienced similar behaviour ? Is there a solution to it?

All other applications work fine and there is no problem.

WIll appreciate help.

Regards

"Hi  Where do I locate "preference" using a PC, not MAC:

 

For both; navigate to Photoshop's Preferences folder.
(macOS only) Open the Preferences folder in the Library folder**, and drag the Adobe Photoshop Settings folder to the Trash from the following path:
macOS: Users/[user name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop [version] Settings

 

Windows: Users/[user name]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop [version]/Adobe Photoshop [version] Settings

Now you can drag the entire Adobe Photoshop [Version] Settings folder to the desktop or somewhere safe for a backup of your settings

 

**Note:The user Library folder is hidden by default on macOS. Hold down the Option key in the Finder when using the Go menu. The library will appear below the current user's home directory.
