1. Re: My problem with CS4
Noel Carboni Jan 24, 2012 7:41 PM (in response to hvjkula)I have a copy of Photoshop CS4 running on Windows 7 x64. I can use the Patch Tool, then Clone or Healing brush tools just fine, so it's not an inherent problem with Photoshop CS4.
Either you're doing something I'm not or something's wrong on your particular system. You are remembering to deselect after using the Patch tool, right?
On the assumption it's not that, but some problem on your system, have you tried disabling OpenGL Drawing? If not, try the following - it will help determine whether you need an updated display driver.
1. Open Photoshop.
2. Go into Edit - Preferences - Performance.
3. Uncheck the box [ ] Enable OpenGL Drawing.
4. OK out, then close Photoshop.
5. Restart Photoshop and see if the problem persists.
If it does not persist, then your problem is likely tied to Photoshop's use of OpenGL, and it's pretty well-known that only recently have OpenGL implementations in display drivers been getting more solid. Visit the web site of the maker of your video card and download/install their latest release for your hardware and operating system, then re-enable OpenGL drawing, restart Photoshop, and test again.
Good luck!

Jeffrey Tranberry Jan 24, 2012 8:07 PM (in response to hvjkula)Disabling OpenGL is just telling you that there's a problem with the driver.
You need to update your video card driver. Determine what video card you have and go directly to the manufacturers website (nVidia or ATI/AMD) and download the latest driver.

This page sums it up nicely:

As Jeffrey and I have suggested above, take the time to update your display driver and try re-enabling OpenGL. GPU acceleration does improve the Photoshop user experience.

hvjkula Jan 26, 2012 12:52 PM (in response to hvjkula)I thought this problem has been resolved.... unfortunately I am still experiencing the problem.
My current video card is...
EVGA GeForce 550GTX Ti
I also used the ....
EVGA 8800GTS SSC Edition 640
On both cards OpenGL was tried enabled and disabled.... still no luck.
Your help would be appreciated.
