Also, many people report that changing the Use Graphics Processor>Advanced Settings to Basic oftens stops the flickering in windows 8.
(Photoshop(Edit)>Preferences>Performance)
Restart photoshop after making any changes in the performance section of the preferences.

Of course making sure your graphics card drivers are the latest from the gpu maker is also a good idea.

How do I re-install Photoshop CS6 after doing a Windows 8.1 REFRESH? Lightroom and Topaz installed great but not Photoshop

I have my Photoshop CS6 Serial number and thought it would be easy to re-install software. Message says my serial number is VALID but not for this version of software.
Any help with re-installing Adobe Photoshop CS6 on same computer after doing a Windows 8.1 REFRESH would be appreciated!

The best for this would be Contact Customer Care Chat or phone.
While we as volunteers handle technical questions, we can't make a serial number work.
I hope you have registered your software with Adobe, it should make this easier.

Photoshop CS6 EXTENDED Install Error [WINDOWS] *error report included*

Greetz,
I uninstalled Photoshop CS5.1 ME (Middle Eastern) version from my 64bit operating system (Windows 7 Home Premium) and went on to install CS6 EXTENDED after a fresh restart (I also deleted remaining CS5 folders in "Program Files' Adobe directory"). The setup went fine. But, when it finished, it gave an error message saying that Adobe Photoshop CS6 didn't install or didn't install correctly. From there, I copied the error report/log it gave out:
Exit Code: 6
Please see specific errors and warnings below for troubleshooting. For example, ERROR: DF050, DW063 ... WARNING: DF029 ...

Photoshop started fine and worked fine (only used it a bit) after the "failed" installation but, the Update option in the Help window was grayed out (trial version, just to let you know). Is that a limitation to the trial version? Or is it straight up an error?
My question is, what did the error report mean and what could be wrong with my currently installed version of PS? BTW, I didn't use Mini Bridge yet, although all of its files are present in the Program Files directory for Adobe.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the reply. I will try the steps listed in the document you linked me to. In case any of the procedures works, I will mark your post as "Correct".
Thank you, once again.

Photoshop CS6 - Screen flickering when using brushes with new MacAir 2013

Would the Adobe team please respond to the issues reported by several users:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5449199
A number of users experience severe screen flicker in Photoshop CS6 when using any of the larger brush type tools (cloning, eraser, brush, spot healing, burning, and dodging). As many on this thread are experiencing, it is awfull and unusable! The flicker is screen wide black boxes, sometimes the whole screen goes black. It only seems to happen when we put the cursor over the image to edit.
Hardware: MacBook Air 13", Haswell 1.7 GHz, 8GB, 512 SSD Software:
Photoshop CS6 v13.1.2 20130105.r.224, OS X v10.8.4 (and perhaps others)
Looks like a CS6 is not compatible with teh new MacAir. Please look into this and advise.
Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.1.2 (13.1.2 20130105.r.224 2013/01/05:23:00:00) x64 Operating System: Mac OS 10.8.4 System architecture: Intel CPU Family:6, Model:69, Stepping:1 with MMX, SSE Integer, SSE FP, SSE2, SSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, HyperThreading

An update:
I went to the Apple store and brought myself a more recent MacBook Air (13", 4/256 FYI, they were out of the 8/512 model). I can't reproduce *exactly* what you're showing, but got the flicker to happen by resizing the cursor. Also, while painting, the screen seems to stop updating except for the cursor -- not only is Photoshop unable to draw, but other applications stop drawing as well. And a few times it hasn't even updated the cursor (while all other apps seem frozen). That's not normal.
When I see the flickering, I frequently see the menubar and other UI elements draw at the wrong location on the LCD, then black, then redraw in the correct location -- repeat in different positions and lots of "static" until I stop changing the cursor. That's more evidence of a hardware or and odd driver issue. The odd thing is: it doesn't happen all the time. It's possible that the one we have at the office also shows the problem, but we didn't test long enough.
I'm trying to reach out to my hardware contacts at Apple - but it's a weekend before a holiday, so we may not make progress immediately.
One thing that would be useful here: the model of MacBook Air that you have that shows (or doesn't show) the problem.

Photoshop CS6 very very slow (Windows 7)

Hi, im desperate as ive run out of options i think. Photoshop CS6 behaves slow, very slow.
Even with no document open, right after launch it reacts with delay on any mouseclick, sometimes it takes
more than 20 seconds before a menu pops open after clicking. Painting paintbrushes are impossible slow.
Basically any action is dragged.
Its impossible to work like this. With all previous versions of PS i never encountered this.
Things i tried :
- turned off gpu acceleration (i read that gpu can cause performance issues, some ppl solved slowness by turning it off)
- updated latest nvidia drivers
- reinstalled photoshop
- tried to inspect photoshop processes with ProcessHacker, even when at 5% cpu it runs extremely slow
specs :
Windows 7
Nvidia GT545
1 terrabyte free scratch disk space (on C:)
8 gb ram
CPU i7 2600

Has it always run slow, or did this start recently?
What anti-virus are you using? Have you tried disabling it to see it that make a difference?
Are you working over a network?

Photoshop CS6 Freezes on launch - Windows 7 64bit

Photoshop CS6 Freezes when I lauch.
I'm in the process of recovering from a computer failure and am loading all my apps onto a new Windows 7 machine.
So far all apps but photoshop work properly
When the CS6 window appears and I attempt to do any operation, the program does not respond to the mouse and appears to be frozen. I cannot close the program normally.
Am I missing a critical file??
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

I just loaded the 32 bit version and now both 32bit and 64bit versions work.
Sorry to bother you all.

Photoshop CS6: Screen flickers black when using brush tool on MBP 2013

I'm experiencing a flickering black box whenever using large brush sizes on Photoshop CS6 using a Macbook Pro (16GB RAM, 2.8 GHz i7, Intel Iris, Late 2013 13") similar to what is shown on: black flickering boxes on Vimeo. The issue stops if you: Preferences -> Performance -> Uncheck "Use Graphics Processor" and restart the program or backrev to CS6 13.0.0 (or anything before 13.0.4).
I've attempted uninstalling/reinstalling CS6, resetting NVRAM and SMC, and verified the system is all up-to-date. When booting in Safe Mode the issue is also resolved (as it appears Graphics Processor is disabled). There appears to have been a similar issue on the 2013 Macbook Air that Apple released a fix for (MacBook Air (Mid 2013) Software Update 1.0) but I do not see anything regarding the Macbook Pro line. Anyone experience/resolve this issue?
I've contacted Apple Care multiple times and they say it is an Adobe issue. And Adobe is insisting is a CPU/GPU driver issue just like the Macbook Air issue Apple already fixed.

You may be able to get a display driver update from the laptop manufacturer.
Unfortunately, if none of the workarounds is circumventing the problem for you, and there are no display driver updates that solve the problem, you may want to escalate it to the laptop maker. They in turn can push through a new display driver update. They should take responsibility for making your system work with modern, professional software.

Photoshop cs6 install administrator error - Windows 7 64-bit

I have attempted installation of Photoshop CS6 repeatedly following a fresh installation of Windows 7 64-bit. Initially running into the error stating Administrator Rights is required to run this upgrade image, I forced it to Run as Administrator.
I forced the installer to verify my Adobe ID at the "Sign In Required" page by selecting "Not your Adobe ID?), then entering my email address and password.
Following selection of both Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64Bit) and Adobe Photoshop CS6 (32Bit), and clicking Install, I receive the error:
Setup.exe - Application Error
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application
Once I click OK, the persistent Administrator error appears:
"Administrator privileges are required in install. Please log in as an administrator." I already am logged in as an administrator on this system.
Any solutions to these errors? I have successfully installed, and ran, Photoshop CS6 on this system (as recently as 3 days ago, before the need to perform the total system wipe, and Windows 7 reinstall)

that's a microsoft error message which can have a number of causes and solutions.
the less likely to work but easy to implement:
1. reset your preferences -

Installation fails Photoshop CS6 Public beta 64bit windows 7

I tried to install the windows version of Photoshop CS6 Public Beta, the 64bit version failed to install said that it failed to locate folder tokens. I uninstalled it and restart my computer. I tried to reinstall but I still get the same error.
What I have tried, was turn off all none windows services incase there were conflicts, and truned of my virus checker(norton contant guard). I've also tried to created another admin account incase there were some corrupt certificates or permissions. Nothing has worked for me.
I'm running on a upgrade version of Windows 7 Ultimate (originally on home premium) on a HP Pavilion Elite e9180f.

Thanks for your response. I only find one folder in the Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers folder. It is AdobeInDesign7xIconHandler64 and the file is mod-mul.key so probably doesn't apply.

Photoshop CS6 Display issues - After Windows 8 upgrade

Just upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro (64bit). Now the background interface in Photoshop CS6 keeps changing when I click the image, the background, the layer and the crop tool. I get transparent, black and various grey. I have uninstalled and reinstalled PS CS6 with no change. I did not have an issue in Windows 7. The rest of CS6 runs fine. Can anybody help? Thanks

What is the make and model of your video card?
What is the number and date of the installed video driver?
Is that the latest release from nVidia, or AMD/ATI?
If it is not the latest, go to the nVidia, or AMD/ATI Web site, plug in your card, and your OS, then download and install the latest driver. Test.
Do not trust Windows, or any utility to tell you if you have the latest driver. Verify that from the mfgr's. Web site.
Good luck,
Hunt
