    From Alfred Molon@21:1/5 to All on Thu Mar 23 21:25:15 2023
    After the last update, Photoshop started blinking blinking like a
    stroboscope whenever I opened an image file.

    I rebooted the PC, uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop, but it would
    continue flashing like a stroboscope.

    Finally, I found this in the Adobe forums: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-bugs/after-photoshop-latest-update-screen-starts-blinking/idi-p/13673834?profile.language=de

    All I can say, my goodness, why can't Adobe deliver a product which does
    not blink or require users to "deactivate native canvas" in the
    settings. Don't they have a quality control?

    Instead of finding this workaround maybe they could have put the effort
    into fixing the problem and issuing another update...

    It could be people that have particular versions of windows or graphic cards so not all users are affected.
    Modern siftware is quite complex and differnt drivers etc can have an effect.

    I wonder if any Apple users have been affected.

    that's almost always why.

    photoshop pushes hardware to its limits and sometimes problems appear
    with some configurations.

    adobe can't fix problems with products they don't make. all they can do
    is release a workaround and hope that the actual problem is eventually
    fixed.

    probably not.

    Well, I've never had an image processing application doing this kind of blinking nonsense.

    BTW, also Adobe Bridge malfunctions. After I let it index a folder with
    RAW files, after the indexing is completed it continues running in the background consuming 20-25% CPU. It does so, even after I closed Bridge.
    The only way to stop it is to kill the process in the task manager.

    I posted this problem here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/bridge-discussions/adobe-bridge-permanent-cpu-usage/td-p/13677906

    then found this other thread where somebody is reporting the same problem: https://community.adobe.com/t5/bridge-discussions/adobe-bridge-13-0-3-still-very-broken-regarding-performance/td-p/13672843

    One poster is writing that he reverted to Bridge CC 2018 "because its
    literally 100x faster and smoother then this".
