The last year of Mac Photoshop has been a PITA. Specifically it has a horrible horrible draw/render bug. it blanks out with grey for 90% of the image after switching a tab and some other tasks. You have to zoom in or out for it to re-display the entire canvas. The recent 2021 install has the same problem. I have the highest upgraded 2019 16"

Don't worry it's total trash on Windows these days too, I use both platforms and its a complete jank-fest on both with dog slow UI redraw and even basic painting app functionality that ran fine on systems 20 years ago is now slow and glitchy. (recent Intel MacBook Pro and high end multi-GPU workstation PC) Adobe started to rest on their laurels about 6 years ago and the results of that choice get more prominent each year as bitrot sets in. Nothing about their software is empowering anymore it's actually just limiting when you see what your computer is truly capable of in software that is written to make use of its modern power. Within 5 years every piece of Adobe software will be displaced and people will be looking back in disbelief asking "How could they fall so far, they owned the market?" Also gonna do my part to help their downfall, if you (unfortunately have to for work) pay £49.94 a month to use full Creative Cloud you're being ripped off, I've only paid £30.34 a month for 4 years now, when it's renewal time just keep telling them you're cancelling and it's too expensive and after about 5 minutes of pushing they'll knock a lot off.

> it has a horrible horrible draw/render bug. it blanks out with grey for 90% of the image Oh so that wasn't just my hardware? I didn't realize it was a widespread issue. I've been experiencing that bug for at least a year now. I could go on, but there aren't enough hours left in the day.
