Photoshop 22.4.2 flickering on M1 Apple Silicon running macOS Big Sur 11.4

Anyone having issues with PS flickering on 11.4 on an M1? I was running the current version of PS CC 22.4.2 and today kept getting weird graphical glitches. Anytime I scroll I get heavy flicker and any file I opened wouldn't render properly. I downgraded PS a few steps and still the flicker. I ended up changing the GPU settings first disabling Open CL and restarting PS that didn't do anything. Reducing the level of GPU usage and restarting PS didn't either. I had to disable using the M1 GPU entirely and restart PS before the app was usable again. Updating back to the current PS version still seems stable so I'll leave the GPU acceleration disabled for now. I'm not seeing any posts on this yet. Is it just me?

      Did you try the solution posted above? It seems to have worked for many people.

      Perhaps try a thorough reset of Photoshop preferences?

      (read this entire post before acting please)

      Resetting restores Photoshop's internal preferences, which are saved when Photoshop closes.

      If they become corrupt then various issues can occur.

       

      Here’s some info on how to do that:

      https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html

      Manually removing preferences files is the most complete method for restoring Photoshop to its default state: 

      https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#Manually

       

      Note re macOS: The user Library folder is hidden by default.

      To access files in the hidden user Library folder, see here for how to access hidden user library files.

      https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/access-hidden-user-library-files.html

       

      Unexpected behavior may indicate damaged preferences. Restoring preferences to their default settings is a good idea when trying to troubleshoot unexpected behaviors in Photoshop. check out the video

      https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#reset_preferences

       

      Learn how to access and modify Photoshop preferences and customize per your frequent workflows

      https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html

       

      And here’s an earlier forum discussion as an aid to understanding

      https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/quick-tips-how-to-reset-photoshop-preferences/td-p/12502668

       

      You may want to backup your settings and custom presets, brushes & actions before restoring Photoshop's preferences.

      Here is general info about that:  https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#BackupPhotoshoppreferences

       

       

      Before you reset your preferences

      in case of future issues, I suggest you make a copy as Adobe may need one to check problematic references. 

      Quit Photoshop.
      Go to Photoshop's Preferences folder

      Preferences file locations: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/preference-file-names-locations-photoshop.html\


        [on MacOS see: Users/[user name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop [version] Settings

        Note for those on macOS: - be aware that the user Library folder is hidden by default on macOS.

        https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/access-hidden-user-library-files.html

        In the Finder, open the “Go” menu whilst holding down the Option (Alt) key.

        Library will now appear in the list - below the current user's “home” directory. ]

       

      Now you can drag the entire Adobe Photoshop [Version] Settings folder to the desktop or somewhere safe as a back-up of your settings.

       

       

      Note for those on macOS:

      Preference preservation is affected by macOS permissions,

      you’ll need to allow Photoshop ‘Full Disk Access’ in your Mac OS Preferences/Security and Privacy

       

       

       

      It may even be time to reinstall Photoshop.

       

      It’s recommended that you use the Adobe CC cleaner tool to remove all traces first.

      (See above about preserving preferences though! Its worth preserving them unless they are corrupted.)

       

      https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html

      Uninstall Photoshop BUT make sure to choose the option “Yes, remove app preference”.

       

      Once that process finishes, start the installation process and look into the “Advanced Options”. Uncheck “Import previous settings and preferences” and choose to “Remove old versions”.

       

      I hope this helps

      I have the same issue. It seemed to be caused by the window being off screen. Resizing seemed to fix the problem.

        Can confirm! The window was off screen and that caused the insane flickering (M1, Big Sur, 22.4.2 PS version)

        The problem is from the beginning when I installed PS on M1.

        I have this exact same issue on an M1 and the recommendation below about Native Canvas did not fix it.

        Hi there,

         

        Thanks for the update. Is flickering happens when you use Photoshop or illustrator/Indesign together?

        Mohit

        Photoshop. I have to turn off the use of the GPU in Photoshop, which is
        frustrating because it limits the ability to rotate the canvas.

          Hi,

           

          We're sorry about the experience due to the screen flickering while using Photoshop 22.4.2. You can try going to the Preferences of Photoshop, then Technology Previews & enable the option to Deactivate Native Canvas. Once done, quit & relaunch Photoshop to check if that helps.

           

          If the issue persists, you can also try to reset the preferences of Photoshop using the steps mentioned here: https://adobe.ly/2Qzc0K3

          Please backup your settings prior to resetting the preferences. You can check: https://adobe.ly/2vNz6FG

           

          Let us know how it goes!

          Regards,

          Nikunj

            Hello! 


            I had the exact same issue and after trying all else, the resetting of the preferences seems to have done the trick!

            Thank you.
