pmcabinet Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 This issue occurs in Windows 10 Pro (x64) v2009 (build 19043.1415) with NVIDIA GeForce GTX1050 GPU. System is fully updated with latest Studio Driver from NVIDIA. Earlier versions of NVIDIA driver also suffer. I'm relatively new to AP (v1.10.4.1198) so have only started to use brush tools recently. Finding the blur brush tool not working I did some searching and discovered reports of issues with hardware acceleration going back quite a long time. HSL dialogue also seems to suffer. It was reported that disabling HA cures the problem, which indeed it does; but then other processes become decidedly less friendly (i.e. slow!). I've not found a topic that addresses directly the GTX1050, hence this post. Since this seems to be a long running affair, is it something we have to live with or can we expect a fix? I really don't want to go back to Lightroom or Photoshop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetervL Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 I can confirm this issue with Open CL on. Also affecting sharpening brush. Regards Peter Win 11 i7 16Gb GTX1660super Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmcabinet Posted December 27, 2021 Author Share Posted December 27, 2021 Thanks for confirming, Peter. Using AP without hardware acceleration is rather unpredictable (crashes on complex processes) so if you find any answers do post here! Happy New Year Peter (me!)

I don't actually experience any crashes at all, with or without Open CL. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted January 5, 2022 Staff Share Posted January 5, 2022 Hi @pmcabinet, We already have this issue logged with the Dev team. I've updated the report with a link to this thread, so we can update you when its been resolved For now, the only workaround is to disable openCL.

Hi @stokerg, Only a partial solution to the problem, because then the opacity of the blur brush tool can no longer be adjusted. The opacity can only be regulated via the Flow option.
