I'm using the healing brush to clean up a sky, and I'm seeing subtle edges on the brush locations, but when I merge my retouching layer into the background, the edges disappear, and it looks clean.
Is there some setting I can change to make the layer display properly?

Hi
At zoom levels less than 66.7% you are looking at a blend of 8 bit previews. So even a 16 bit image is blended with 8 bit previews at those lower zoom levels. You cannot change that - it is the way Photoshop works and AFAIK was done to speed up full screen redraws.
So the answer is check the asthetics and positioning of image elements at low zoom levels but always check for artefacts at 100%.

Maybe a screen redraw issue - try turning off GPU performance.

Unfortunately that didn’t work.

Does this happen when you view at 100% zoom ? Any zoom level less than 66.7% uses 8 bit previews to blend and can show the odd artefact.

Depends on the image, but it happens at zoom levels of 50% and below. How do I stop this from happening? I often evaluate the look of my retouching by looking at the image as a whole (as I expect many other people do)

There are some cases where I would much prefer to sacrifice speed for accuracy, and this is one of them.

There are advantages - although some other may shout foul at any slow down .
There is a feature request linked below but it does not look like it has been updated for a long while. You could add your vote and comments to it to tray and bump it up.
