Rotation: OpenGl issue in Photoshop cc

kabuki32 -

Hello everyone,

For some time now, this message has appeared when I try to use the image rotation tool in Photoshop: "Could not complete the operation because it is only compatible with OpenGL document windows."

I know the problem is related to my graphics card, but I can't find a solution despite everything I've tried:

- Reinstall Photoshop
- Updated my GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, then did a complete reinstall with no changes.
- Enabled options in Photoshop: Edit --- Preferences --- Performance -- Use Graphics Processor ... blah blah blah
- Checked 3D settings in the Nvidia control panel
- I have 32 GB of RAM and changed my PC last year (Dell Pro), so there's no issue there

For your information, it works again when I reinstall Photoshop CS6 but not with the CC suite.

Anyway, I really need this tool because without it, it's really a hassle.
A huge thank you in advance to anyone who can guide me to resolve this issue! :-)

    Hi, I had the same issue as you and I followed this process:

    - type run (Windows key + R), type regedit
    - go to HKEY CURRENTUSER > Software > Adobe > Photoshop > click on 12.0 or 120.0 > create a new file there and name it AllowOldGPUS

    then you'll just have to restart your Photoshop

    Here is the link hoping it will help some:

      Same problem here...
      I'm trying your technique but it doesn't change anything...
      And then in the registry keys, I don't have 12.0 or 120.0
      I have 100.0, 110.0, 130.0, and 140.0.

        Hello Guillaume,
        Actually, my problem is resolved. I work in dual display and I realized that my main monitor was connected to the integrated video card (which is a piece of crap) of the computer and not to my Nvidia... so there you go, I changed the connections and everything is working again.

        I'll leave the topic open in case someone has a real suggestion for this issue.

        When you say dual display, do you mean 2 screens?
        I also have 2 screens that are both well connected to the graphics card, one in DVI and the other in DisplayPort...
        But ultimately, I think it's my graphics card that's not recent enough... (Nvidia Quadro 4000)
