M: Photoshop 21.2 Redraw Bug

Just updated to the 21.2 version. Now, whenever I use any transform function. The background of that doesn't redraw properly but instead seems like it leaves a preview of where the image used to be. Almost like a duplicate layer except there is no dup. Glitchy.

I see Legacy Compositing has been removed but the issues remain.

OS 10.15.7 iMac (27-inch, Late 2012)

Photoshop 22.4.1

Since the last update there are serious redraw problems with Photoshop:

- Selection line disappears

- Copy/paste onto a new layer and nothing shows until you zoom in/out

- Ghost versions of layers still showing

- Moving a layer is very jerky

- Smart guides stay on screen until I move the layer or zoom in/out

These issues did not exist a few weeks ago.

I ahve 22.2 and the legacy compostioning is not even there and I'm having screen redraw issues where you drag a corner of the window and repeats until you stop. That window redraw then becomes inactive, so I save and close it and then re-open it.

I've still got this problem in 21.2.4 with RECTANGULAR selections. If I select a portion of an image with a rectangular marquee and duplicate/move it (CTRL-ALT-move) then I don't get a proper display refresh until I release the the wacom pen button. However, if I make an irregular selection (with lasso tool) it works fine - with the image constantly refreshing as I move the copy around. An elliptical selection also works - so it's just a bug with the "rectangular marquee tool"

I'm still getting redraw problems in the latest 21.2.3 update on Windows 7 Pro 64. I haven't been using Photoshop much lately but I thought this was fixed in a prior update. I don't have "Legacy Compositing" turned on.

I'm still getting this with and without Legacy compositing checked.

hmmm...
I reinstalled v21.1.3 and 2019... both worked fine and don't have this issue... seems like just a v21.2 thing?

When I originally posted this bug I had spent a few hours of insanity trying to figure this out. There wasn't a post yet and I had the same feeling! Glad this helped out.

The new layer compositing engine from 2019 shifts the actual processing to the GPU. When working correctly, it's faster and more efficient.

However, it's also vulnerable to video driver bugs.

Legacy compositing turns this off and reverts to the old layer compositing executed by the CPU.

Thanks for the explaination. You state that the compositing engine from 2019 made the shift to the GPU. I'm curious why this issue did nto appear until the latest release in 2020? For me it started right after the latest update. As a Mac user I wish that the Adobe products I pay for would make better use of the GPU in general, so its a bit disapointing that I have to turn off one feature where the GPU is actually being used. May I assume that the good people at Adobe are working with the various vendors to resolve these issues? Please let me know if providing my system specifications would be helpful. I'll be happy to assist.

These are erratic and marginal issues. It only takes one line of changed code to expose a latent bug that you didn't see before.

For the vast majority (myself included) this works entirely without problems.

In some cases resetting Photoshop preferences may help. Small errors and corruption in the prefs file may, again, show up in a new version with changed code. The prefs file is resaved on every exit, so errors accumulate over time.

Same problem. Solution listed seems to work. Really frustrating that the software suddenly decided to behave in a different manner and the answer is an obscure check box deep in a performance preference. Before reading this I did discover that toggeling the background layer off then back on would remove the artifacts.

I had the same problem. Then I turned off Legacy Compostion in the Performance Preference and that made it stop.

Thanks, but why?
