Photoshop CC 2018 Path tool - Rubber Band is Flashing [MBP]

[Choi TJ]

In Photoshop cc 2018, rubber band was checked among the options of path tool.

And the path line of the rubber band is blinking when I do the path working.

How can I solve this problem?

The video is the screen captured when i work.

My computer spec

Mac Book Pro 15" 2013 Retina

What version of MacOS or OSX are you using?

Yes, I using the MacOS Sierra Ver. 10.12.6.

Yes, I see the problem. My two MBPs are mid 2012, one runs 10.12.6, the other 10.13.2

The card on those is a Intel HD 4000.

On both Macs, the Rubber Band blinks on CC 2018, but not on CC 2017.

You can install CC 2017 and see if the problem goes away. Let me know if it does.

The only thing CC 2017 seems to be missing is the path color option in Settings.

I turned off automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saver of the system preferences.

There is no such thing in Photoshop CC 2017. Only CC 2018.  T . T

And my friend's MBP 2017 touchbar model has the same thing.

Ok, I reported it here: Rubber Band blinking on Mac Book Pro in CC 2018 but not CC 2017 | Photoshop Family Customer Communit...

If and when it will be fixed is up to the Programming team. So use 2017 in the meantime.

Thank you for your feedback.

It is not happening on my Windows system, but we were told way back when people complained about the difficulty of seeing the path when high res screens came along, that it was a problem for Adobe to fix and something to do with the way Mac blend modes worked.  So it would be interesting to hear if other Mac users are having similar results to you?

Trevor,

My MBPs are standard 1280 x 800 resolution, so the problem seems independent of that. However I checked my Windows 10 Dell and noticed the same flickering. Perhaps CC 2018 is not kind to older cards?
