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?

There are so many threads about this now that it's almost impossible to keep up and reply to them all. And they just keep coming faster and faster.

 

Apparently some new functions were migrated from OpenGL to DirectX this time, and it doesn't work well on some older GPUs. It seems Adobe may need to go back to the drawing board and rework a few things. While it's inevitable that older GPUs will get obsolete at some point, this is a bit too much. This is hitting too many users with GPUs that should still work.

 

Deactivate Native Canvas reverts to older OpenGL code for the GPU.

Try this: Preferences > Technology Previews > Enable "Deactivate Native Canvas" > Restart Photoshop

Photoshop updated itself sometime today (2023-03/21) while I was using it. Photoshop launches and shows previous files. When I try to open those files or any photo, the canvas just flashes back and forth between black and white. In the Layers palette, I see the photo like it should be, but the screen just keeps flashing. If I make the window smaller, the canvas becomes solid black and stays that way. I still can't interact with the file. I have done a restart (Windows) but not a complete shut down.
