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?

Hello everyone! 

Since I've updated Adobe Photoshop to it's newest version, 24.4.1, everytime I open the program my screen glitches black to white and viceversa. 

I downgraded but I needed the latest version. I've checked the GPU, ecc. but everything seems okay.

Can someone help me? Right now I can't use the program and I really need it for work!

English isn't my main language so I hope someone understand what I'm writing. 


Photoshop doesn't work all the time for me. Sometimes it works perfectly fine but most of the time the picture I want to edit only flashes (I don't know how to explain so I'll insert a link to show).

I've tried to search but can't find it. Any ideas? 


I used PS one week ago and it worked all ok. The time before that it flashed. And I've tried again today and one picture works without flashes but the rest does. Doesn't matter if I try to open one picture one by one.

When opening a file in photoshop 2023, the screen flashes rapidly alternating white and black screens and doesn't stop until I select file close, at which point photoshop offers to save the file. This happens on .nef files, .png files and on two different drives.

Salve anche io con l' ultimo aggiornamento ho lo stesso problema, flash bianchi e neri , non riesco a fare nulla, software inutilizzabile. Ho seguito il consiglio : anteprima tecnologia disabilita tela nativa che qui si chiama area di lavoro nativa, penso sia un problema di traduzione in italiano, ma il problema rimane......che faccio? Il software mi serve urgentemente ma come si fa a lavorare così?

si fatto ma il problema rimaneva, ho risolto cercando ancora nel forum e ho trovato che devo spuntare modalità GPU precedenti (prima del 2016) adesso funziona, però non capisco tutte queste modifiche per un aggiornamento che dovrebbe migliorare, invece crea problemi. Comunque grazie mille.
