    THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I just bought a new imac and upgraded PS to CS4 and am struggling with a huge learning curve all around, when this black screen crap occurred. Tried to troubleshoot with both Adobe and OnOne technical support (as this occurred when toggling between the plugin app and my regular editng in PS). Of course no one knew what I was talking about. A friend came across your blog and referred me to it. You solved my problem in less than 10 seconds. I am so grateful.

    THANK YOU, this was a massive problem for me. Is there anyway to continue to use OpenGL without this happening out of curiosity?
  • Jason · 8 months ago
    You can try upgrading to the latest drivers for your video card. You need to be sure you have the latest OpenGL drivers installed. If your using a laptop with an ATI Video card you may only be able to get the drivers from your laptop manufacturer. That is, unless you want to hack it. That's what I had to do. I'm using a ATI Radeon X1400. I had to download the drivers from ATI then hack the drivers with a program so that I could install them on my laptop.
  • Kyle · 7 months ago
    You were able to hack together some updated drivers for your X1400? I have the same video card with Dell's Vista drivers. Any tips on how I can use Photoshop with OpenGL (and get better game performance)?

    Rock on, this works in situtations where using certain tools will black out the artboard as well.
