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

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?

When I transfer an image from Lightroom to Photoshop, the Photoshop screen flashes in black and white and I have no option to do anything except close the software. Can someone tell me how to contact Adobe, thanks.

Hi, I've been experiencing a monitor flickering issue lately while scrolling the cursor on any of the tools on the side bar,

never happened before.

I'm using an NVIDIA GSX 1650, last version downloaded only a couple of days ago thinking it would have fixed the issue, no luck though...

No issues with LR.

Thanks for any suggestion!

Dobrý den,

 

poslední dvě aktalizace PS mi sice fotografii načtou, ale místo fotografie začne monitor černobíle blikat. Přestane až po vypnutí možnosti používat grafický procesor, což práci zpomalí. Mohu poprosit o radu. 

System windows 10, Nivida K 2100 m.

Starší verze fungují bez problému.

 

Děkuji za radu.
