Question

Photoshop tools that use 'brushes' are leaving a streak.

I am an experienced PS user, and for the past 5 months I have been having an issue with tools using a brush (healing, remove, painting, clone, selection, masking, etc.). The tool leaves a streak from the left to the point of the brush. At first I could uninstall and reinstall PS using the cloud app, but this no longer works, and I am quite frustrated. 

I am using version 26.10.0 on a PC Win 11 64 (update 24H2, KB5064081\26100.5074), gb ram, and a NVIDEA GeForce RTX 4070 Super graphics card. 

 

I have seen a similar post from 2020 describing the same/similar issue, but no solution other than regressing to an earlier version of PS was offered.

 

Any ideas??

Thanks,

Mike

I am also experiencing the same streaking issue. Any success in recommendations for solving it?

Hey ​@jims93598018

It looks like this was a possible Graphics Processing Unit Driver (GPU) issue. May I ask you to share your system info so we can take a closer look?  You can find this by going to Help > System Info while in Photoshop. Copy and paste everything into a text file and attach it to your response.

Even a screen shot would help.  Make it full resolution showqing entire workspace with layers panel visible.

I assume the artefact becomes part of the layer, and does not disappear when you save the image?

Are you using a tablet, and if yes, does this happen just when using the tablet, or also when using the mouse?

 

Are you using the Game Ready or Studio driver for the GPU?  The Studio Driver works best with Photoshop, but if you are using the Game Ready driver, I believe it isa best to do a clean reinstall of the driver.  I'd have to research how to do this.

Thanks for the quick reply.

You can see it best when painting on a layer mask thumbnail. I am using the studio driver for the GPU> I have not tried saving an image with the issue. I'll post a screen shot the next time it occurs. I did another reinstall, so it will take a couple of days for it to reoccur.

Additional information: If I use PS on the left monitor, streaks now go to the upper right corner! Menu problem did not change - same as before...


Solution: Screen settings to 100% - then erverything works fine! See Trevor comment from above...

However, imho ADOBE not being able to adapt PS to compensate for Win11 screen scaling makes me really sad...pls take care for an update to correct this issue asap.

Hi @MikeRosenberg, welcome to the community!

Thanks for reaching out. If possible, could you share a screen recording of the issue so we can take a closer look?

As a first step, I’d recommend resetting your Photoshop preferences, that often helps clear up unusual issues. If that doesn’t do the trick, could you also share your System Info? You can find it in Photoshop under Help > System Info. Just copy the info into a text file and attach it to your reply, or share it via Google Drive, WeTransfer, or any other file-sharing service you prefer.

Thanks a lot!
