Photoshop Creative Cloud - Bug



I downloaded the new cc for PC at my new job and I am now convinced that cc doesn’t stand for creative cloud, but constant crashes. Yesterday I came across one that freaked me out the most. When I dragged (I’m an image dragger) from one monitor to my other connected monitor my 10+ hours’ worth of work Photoshop document went white – then flashed black then white. It wasn’t the channels, a colour fill and it was saving. Luckily after yelling at Photoshop for 5 minutes I finally figured out that it was a Photoshop bug. Here are the steps to stop Photoshop from going blank on you:

1. Edit > preferences > general
2. Look down the left side and find “Performance”
3. Uncheck the box in the lower right corner that says “Use Graphics Processor”
4. Click OK {Reset Photoshop}
