Question

Photoshop canvas jittering / size twitching when working on file

I'm working on a gaming laptop with an Nvidia graphics card on the latest version of Photoshop.

When working on any given file, I notice that the canvas does a slight, but annoying jitter. Like it zooms in 0.5% and then readjusts to what it originally was.

 

I see this happen when I'm switching between layers and using the Pen Tool. I thought I resolved this issue by disabling some graphic or experimental features, but it did an auto update and now I can't get it to stop.

 

I work through it, but the twitching is real annoying and just makes working on the laptop a burden.

 

Any help or tips would be great. Thanks!

I Discovered the Issue.

 

The latest version has an option in Preferences > Technology Previews to use the checkbox "Older GPU Mode (Pre 2016)"

 

It's pretty telling how Adobe's new features are so glitch-prone or non user-friendly that they throw in options to have it behave like older versions.

@Steven Springsteel how old is your GPU, most laptops have dual GPU's that can cause conflicts with Photoshop.

Have a look at sections 6 and 7 in the below link
