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?

make sure your GPU drivers are updated.

Next, go to Photoshop Preferences/Technology Preview and check “Disable Native Canvas”. Then check “Use Older GPU Mode (2016)”. Restart Photoshop.

I don't know how to check my GPU drivers.

I checked the two options that you advised and restarted Photoshop. There is no more flashing.

Ignore the advice “Use Older GPU Mode (2016)” Leave it Unhecked, it is not needed and unacceptably slows Ps down. It basically switches off the GPU usuing only CPU.

excellent. btw, using older gpu mode is probably unnecessary.  test by unchecking that and see if the problem returns.

uninstall v24.3, https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-remove-app.html

 

you can then install the latest and 1 version prior versions using the cc desktop app. you must have a subscription because previous versions are not available with trials. other versions are revealed after clicking file preferences>apps>tick show older apps (at panel bottom).

Seit Tagen erscheint wenn ich eine Datei in Photoshop öffne, neu oder vorhanden, auf der Bildfläche stroboskopartig ein schwarz-weißes Flackern. Die Tools und Ebenen sind normal sicht- und nutzbar aber man kann nichts erkennen.

Ich habe das Programm mehrmals de- und wieder installiert.
Was tun?

Hola.

 

La última actualización de Photoshop, no me permite ver los archivos que abro (fotos, archivo nuevo, todo) se mantienen en una intermitencia constante (como parpadeando, pero siempre en blanco) solo en las capas me deja ver la vista previa del archivo que abro.

 

 

Help.

In Technology Previews I clicked “Older GPU mode (pre 2016)”, closed the Photoshop App and restarted. I opened a typical PSD file and all was well!!! Amazing and thankyou. As an attorney licensed in CA for over 60 years you reinforced that a semblance of ability to follow advice may have a few more years. Maybe in a C suite. Peter Clarke, San Diego.

Versão: 1990-2023

Plataforma: Photoshop

Sistema OP.: Windows

 

Abri o photoshop pela área de trabalho e pelo app do creative e em todas as tentativas a tela do photoshop fica piscando, impossibilitando a edição de qualquer coisa.

 

Resultado esperado: Gostaria de abrir o photoshop normalmente e criar/editar meus arquivos.

Resultado real: TELA DO PHOTOSHOP PISCANDO.

 

Atualizei todos os apps da adobe HOJE e o photoshop é único que acontece esse erro.

Mandei um video mostrando.

 

Espero que me ajudem, pois preciso fazer minhas criações (nem tão urgente, mas vai ficar se continuar com esse erro).

 

Desde já agradeço.

Mandei um video, acho que você consegue acessar.

Abri o PS pelo creative>cliquei em Novo arquivo, e quando a área branca de edição aparecia ficava piscando sem parar frenéticamente, aconteceu isso depois da última atualização que fiz (hoje cedo).

 

Mas segui o passo a passo do @Ged_Traynor e deu certo, funcionou na hora. Agora voltou ao normal, MUITOO obrigada ❤️

I'm having a problem drawing photos in the Photoshop. Photoshop loads up, but when I attempt to open a photo, it's just a white background... no photo. I've checked for any upgrades, but I'm running the current version of Photoshop on Adobe's Creative Cloud. I have uninstalled Photoshop and re-installed it, but to know avail. The photos were taken with my iPhone and were very large (high res). So I went into MS Paint and resized them to only 400 px. Then opened up Photoshop again and attempted to bring just one of the newly resized photos in. No cigar! It just won't work. Do any of you PS professionals have a suggestion to cure this problem?
