I have ran a few vaious scenarios to try and diagnose the problem but have still have not solved anything. If the problem persists after restart, try restarting the system.Re: Black Screen with flashing line at top left corner In the window that follows, select ‘Basic’ from the Drawing Mode drop-down, hit OK and restart Photoshop. Note that if your PC does not have hardware acceleration or the right drivers set up for its graphics adapter, the entire Graphics Processor Settings section should appear greyed out. To switch to a setting that mostly solves the flickering problem, launch Photoshop CS6, navigate to Edit > Performance and hit the ‘Advanced Settings’ button under ‘Graphics Processor Settings’. It is this configuration that doesn’t seem to sit well with Windows 8. Note that if Photoshop detects a working graphics adapter, it will use it to boost performance with hardware acceleration, setting the drawing mode to ‘Advanced’ by default. Unfortunately, switching to a working custom driver fixed a bunch of other problems, but Photoshop’s flickering persisted.Īt the moment, the only easy fix I could find for this problem was to either disable hardware acceleration entirely or set its drawing mode to ‘Basic’. Now, when I spotted this problem on my PC, my initial prime suspect was the apparent incompatibility of the official beta graphics drivers with Windows 8. The effect is also visible when you’re switching between layers. Now, this may be considered a mere annoyance, but at times, the canvas itself blacks out, leaving you stranded in the middle of a brush stroke or free transform.
If you’re using Adobe Photoshop CS6 with Windows 8, especially if it’s on a slightly older HP notebook with switchable graphics, you might have noticed that the background (the empty space between the canvas and toolbars) starts flickering in response to almost any action that you perform on your opened project. One of the latter happens to be with the (currently) latest version of Adobe Photoshop, namely CS6. Apart from the fact that quite a majority of users find themselves out of their confort zone when using the new interface, Windows 8 currently has quite a few compatibility issues as well some with drivers and others with apps. The new OS and its Modern UI seem to be catching on, but at a snail’s pace. Microsoft took a leap of faith with Windows 8, and for the first couple of weeks after its release, it seemed the dramatic change of direction wouldn’t pay off the way the Redmond giant hoped it would.
