Hi the last time Photoshop did an update now when I open PS and am working on several images when I click between them then they show up one over the other over the other over the other in my workspace it is driving my eyes crazy. I have been trying to figure out for weeks how to get rid of this and can not seem to figure it out. Also When I Zoom in and out then it shows about 18 layers of that image infrot of another and another and another in the workspace background. I want my one single image with a black or dark gray background back as my workspace I do not want to have to look at several pictures at once and when I zoom in and out I don't want to see ever size of that image I have looked at stuck in my workspace. Can anyone help me out to fix this horrible eye sore issue? It makes my eyes go dizzy and makes it hard to concentrate.

Thank you!

Hi

Try this:

1. Go to Preferences > Performance and uncheck Use Graphics Processor. Close and restart Photoshop.

Does that work? If so, go to step 2 if not go to step 3.

2. Go back to Preferences > Performance and recheck Use Graphics Processor and then under Advanced Settings - set drawing mode to Basic.

Does that work. If it does stop here. If not go to step 3.

3. Go to the manufacturers site for your GPU and download the latest driver. Then retry step 2.

A screenshot might help us better understand the problems. But Tabbed viewing is what I routinely use as suggested above by silkrooster.

Dave, Jane, I am pretty sure John sussed in the first post. Floated windows would look exactly as the OP described I'm thinking

Hi

You may be right Trevor. It was the line that said "Also When I Zoom in and out then it shows about 18 layers of that image infrot of another and another and another in the workspace background" that is symptomatic of GPU redraw issues.

Thank you so much! The first step totally got rid of the problem. I would never have found that answer by myself. I had gone into preferences several times to try to figure it out but never into the performance section. I appreciate your help SO much!!

Change the document layout to tabs. (Window>Arrange) It will make it easier to find them. Also ctrl-tab on windows or cmd-tab on mac will switch between the documents.
