I've had this problem for a while now. And now it is starting to piss me off. Photoshop CC 2017 and 2018. 2015 Retina Macbook Pro with 16GB RAM, MacOS Sierra 10.12.6 (16G1036).

If I make an adjustment layer, let's say convert to B&W for arguments' sake, the adjustment doesn't preview until I resize the window or something. Happens with ALL adjustment layer types. See attached screenshot. Why is the image still color when a BW adjustment layer has been applied?

I don't see this problem on my Mac Book + retina. I am using 10.13.1, but it should not make a difference.

Do you have any 3rd party plug-ins installed - if so can you reproduce this without the plug-ins? (hold down shift when you launch Photoshop).

no plugins... I have no need for Photoshop plugins.

In Photoshop, you can uncheck "Use Graphics Processor" under Photoshop > Preferences > Performance to see if it is a graphics card issue.

Also if your MBP happens to have dual graphics cards, you can make sure it is selecting the high performance card.

Set graphics performance on MacBook Pro - Apple Support

I'd also check with Apple Support to be sure there are no issues with your model. I own two mid 2012 MBP running MacOS 10.12 and 10.13 and I do no see this problem using CC 2017 or 2018.
