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 found a solution not listed here. I don't have the strobe but I have the flickering tools and flickering Share button. I'm coming over from this thread which Adobe now closed:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-bugs/help-photoshop-ver-21-1-0-has-annoying-flick...

 

After updating to the lastest version for 2022 which was released last week, I disabled font auto-activation for Photoshop in RightFont. So if you are using RightFont or maybe even another font amanager, try distabling font autoactivation and see if that helps. I don't know if the problem is with Photoshop or RightFont but hopefully it can be eventually fixed.

I recently purchased a subscription to PS 2023. It worked fine until recently. Now I only get black-and-white flashes on the screen when I open or start a project.  How can I fix this?

Buenas tardes estimados, mi consulta se debe a que al momento de abrir alguna imagen en Adobe Photoshop, se tilda toda el contenedor de la imagen, haciendo que una pantalla blanca y negra manifiesten este error en constante parpadeo. Quería saber si se trata de un error de actualizaciòn o algo. Desde ya me parece muy inoportuno este error ya que muchos profesionales trabajamos con estos programas como parte de nuestra vida laboral y profesional, y la verdad me desalienta mucho saber que se larguen actualizaciones de este tipo, y no saber si tiene pronta solución o no, ya que si se tratara de una urgencia, esto en algunos àmbitos podría generar grandes perdidas, tanto de recursos, como de oportunidades laborales, clientes e incluso ingresos económicos. Desde ya agradezco su pronta respuesta.

Hi @Ap Foto Go to Photoshop Preferences/Technology Preview and check “Disable Native Canvas”. Then check “Use Older GPU Mode (2016)”.

Bonjour, 

Depuis hier, dès lors que je souhaite ouvrir un dossier ou en créer un nouveau,

Mon plan de travail clignotte en blanc et noir. 

Donc impossible de travailler sur photoshop.

Avez-vous ce problème ?
