NancyA Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Not sure where to post to ask Brian MAC questions about PS. I installed PS latest release. At first no issues then it started behaving just weird. When I move an adjustment slider the screen blanks to gray and I cannot watch the adjustment or the picture disappears somewhere. It comes back when I click on the area. I'll attach some pictures. Also bridge sometimes blinks when I go from one picture to the next--it either does it consistently on every picture or doesn't do it at all. It was being fairly consistent with these total unusable annoyances then yesterday it was working perfect through quite a bit of editing. Now today it is back to all the weird stuff. I'm clueless as to what to so other than revert back before the latest release even though I do like some of the new features. I'm sure there is more info you will need but this is the basics as best I can describe them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Yep, you're not the only one. It's very similar to the old black boxes problem caused by an update a few years ago: https://www.damiensymonds.net/2015/09/black-boxes-and-other-weird-behaviour.html So you need to go to Photoshop's preferences, and play around with the Performance ones. Try turning off Graphics Processor to start with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 If you'd like to show us a screenshot of your Performance preferences, maybe we can help a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Thanks. So turn off "Use Graphics Processor" then restart Photoshop, and see if it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyA Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 I followed solution A on the above link changing from "advanced" to "basic" under the advanced setting/drawing mode. Restarted and it temporarily is working. If it stops again I'll turn off the "use graphics Processor". Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyA Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 This is how my advanced settings look "now". All I changed was to basic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Good. Yeah, OpenCL (formerly called OpenGL) used to be the main culprit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
