Help! Pen tool path lines are no longer blue, hard to see

[lindat36256193]

 

Hi, I'm working on photoshop right now and for some reasons my path lines for the pen tool have changed from a very visible blue to a very thin grey line and I can barely see the handles or anchor points. I must have clicked something by accident. Can someone help me change it back? It's really hard working with it like this. Thanks in advance!

Additional path options are available from the Options bar see screenshot below. It seems there is a bug in 21.2.0 Version and options are grayed out at least on Windows machine, please report bug here https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family

Have you checked in preferences to see if Photoshop is detecting your GPU and that OpenCL is enabled

[Hiranthini]

I agree it is hard using the gray pen tool. I really like the blue pen tool. What version of Photoshop are you using?

Can you show me the blue pen tool cursor please (what does it look like)?

I am currently using Version 21.1.3, and I have the blue pen tool cursor, but I upgraded to the 21.2 version and I get the gray pen tool. I am not sure why, but what I did is I went back to 21.1.3 (latest version for the blue pen tool), and it works better now, but not sure whether to upgrade to the latest or stay at 21.1.3.

[Semaphoric]

That's what I did, stay at 21.1.3

Every morning, when I fire up my computer, Creative Cloud informs me Photoshop has an update available, but its always 21.2 😞

I had the same problem just now, I couldn't make the blue path line for the pen tool, but I was working with a file that I dragged directly from my files to photoshop, and I fixed it by going to File > Open (Ctrl + O) and opened the file that I wanted to work with, and the path lines were blue again.

Thank you!!! This solution worked for me. I was about to lose my mind with that gray path 😉

[margarita30851851cnlk]

Mine does this even during working on a file... It just flashes and makes the grey path which is not working properly. At the same time the transform tool also looks like this and is not working properly. I have to restart photoshop so it starts working correctly again and the paths are blue. It is very frustrating and I don't know why it does that.

[c.pfaffenbichler]

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? 
Does turning on »Deactivate Native Canvas« (Photoshop > Preferences > Technology Previews) and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

[margarita30851851cnlk]

Nope - Deactivate Native Canvas makes Photoshop crash when opening a file. Turning off Graphic Processor also doesn't work 😕

@margarita30851851cnlk Can you go to Photoshops Help>System info and click Copy. Then paste the info here. It may help us see what is leading to the issue you are seeing.

Windows 10 and an RTX4070.  I wasn't expecting that as that should be a trouble free setup.  

32Gb RAM, but 80% for Photoshop is high, and maybe starving the OS and other apps of working memory.

The only thing I am wondering about is that you are using a laptop. They tend to have two GPUs with an Intel HD... beiing used to keep power consumprion down, but your Sys info shows it using the high power RTX4070.

Bring your Photoshop memory use back to 70%

I didn't see if you are using the Studio or Game Ready GPU driver.  The Studio is safer for Photoshop.

Do you have the problem even after restarting the laptop, and with a single small docucument open?  I'm talking about 1000 X 1000 pixels and 8bit.  

Does your laptop have just the one drive, and if yes, how much free space does it have?

Check the rood directory of whatever drive you are using for Scratch space, and see how big the Photoshop Temp file(s) is/are, and if you have any that do not have todays date?  In fact close Photoshop and see if you have any Photoshop temp files left behind, and if you do delete them.

Something is not happy here.  It feels a bit desperate to try resetting Preferences, and my gut says that won't fix it anyway.  Hopefully, someone will have spotted something obvious that my old eyes missed.

I'm wondering if Photoshop really is using the RTX4070 after reading this section of your sys info.  I went as far as checking mine, and the same section only mentions the RTX4080.  So check Preferences > Performance to confirm the GPU being used.

Hello, thank you for your attention to my problem. I haven't tried with a small (1000x1000) file, because I don't know what triggers this bug.. At some point while I'm drawing, the screen just flashes for a part of the second and that's it, it's bugged 😕
Otherwise I only have one hard drive, with almost 800GB free, I didn't find any temp files when Photoshop is closed. I'm sending a screenshot of the performance window, where it says it should be using the Nvidia, and in the Nvidia software it says I'm with the studio driver. Also the file I'm working on, is not big, it's like 14Mb. I really don't know 😄

@margarita30851851cnlk try following the directions on this page to disable the integrated Intel card and see if that helps:
