Not sure what is happening but lately my photoshop window screen, which shows my artwork is now neon green. I cannot see my art and it vibrates also. I don't know if it has something to do when I disconnect from my large monitor or something else. I have upgraded my mac system to Big Sur 11.4. The only way I can get it to work properly is to delete photoshop from my computer and reinstall it again from Adobe again. I have to click off any saved libraries etc, and start all over again. Has anyone had this issue or know how to fix it? It's happened a few times and I'm wondering if there is a conflict somewhere.
Please help!

Try this: go to Preferences >Technology Previews > enable Deactivate Native Canvas. Quit Photoshop and relaunch.

Do you have Quick Mask turned on? Hit the Q key to toggle.
Have a look at thre Channels panel and make sure RGB is checked and only three channels are turned on.

Quick mask is not on. Channels panel is set as you mentioned.
I just noticed when I'm on my big monitor, it works. When I slide to my laptop, it goes green! Any ideas about that?

I'm trying to remember what I heard, but you mentioned "something to do when I disconnect from my large monitor or something else." As I recall, it has something to do with switching monitors while PS is running, and I can't remember the details.
Try first connecting the "correct" monitor, then launchingPS to see if that fixes it. Or try the other answer I gave.
Perhaps another volunteer will know; I can't look into it further myself now due to personal obligations.

Is it the sort of thing our @D Fosse would know, or is it Mac specific? It is starting to sound like a GPU video card issue. It's 11:20pm for Dag so he might be around.

You're welcome, @shinyredguitar0
Both Apple and Microsoft have changed the old Open GL in their OS, which has been deprecated or removed. Deactivate Native Canvas forces the GPU to use the older GPU functions and might not be needed after an update to your GPU driver.

Perhaps try resetting 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
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
