Crop Tool Not Working Properly.

I've noticed that when cropping or rotating in PS 2020 the app goes haywire and often shows a little countdown timer like it's waiting to do something, then when it does wake up I get half the image missing and it's replaced with a chequerboard pattern. I often can't even use the tool because I can't see what I want to straighten up. I wouldn't mind but I've got an iMac Pro maxed out in all areas so I shouldn't be seeing screen draw issues. Any ideas?

That hasn't helped, I've tried all kinds or restoring and trashing but it still does it I have 6 iMacs that are all doing the same thing. All running Catalina.

Also when I crop, that little box follows the cursor around the screen.


Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences (Photoshop > Preferences > Performance > Graphic Processor Settings) and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

I have a slightly different problem with the cutter tool. I use wacom graphics tablets, the driver is updated to the latest version. as I move the edges for cropping, the image starts to flicker. I contacted wacom support and they have not encountered any problems with the graphics tablets or pens. I have tried using other photo editing programs and the problem is not there. Wacom support suggests to me that it is a photoshop cc problem (others have reported this to wacom). I have disabled the use of the graphics processor but the problem is still present. I am attaching a short video where you can see what I'm talking about. Please help me. Thank you.

What are the versions you use? 

 

Have you done a search over on feedback.photoshop.com? 

If you find a thread that matches your OS and Photoshop versions (at least roughly) see if a solution is given and add your vote.

What have you done for trouble-shooting so far? 

If resetting the Tool does not help Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be a good starting point:

This behaviour happens across all the macs in our department, I would say it's a bug but I will try and restore the preferences.

What do the checkerboards look like exactly?
