Photoshop artboard keeps turning upside down on my screen.

  • Photoshop CC
  • Macbook

Whenever I save my file on Photoshop CC, my artboard turns upside down. I use a Macbook which is hooked up to two other monitors and this seems to happen when I disconnect it from the monitors (when I need to work elsewhere), then reconnect it to the monitors (when I'm back at my desk). I presume it's some resolution issue. The issue happens when my Macbook is reconnected to my two monitors. When I use my Macbook on its own, it doesn't happen.

What fixes it is minimizing and expanding the Photoshop program but the fix is temporary and the next time I save the file, it turns upside down again. A better fix is restarting Photoshop altogether, but the next time I disconnect/reconnect my Macbook to the monitors, it happens again.

Are you using the computer's integrated graphics card to control the monitors/displays or something else?

I honestly don't even know how to check for that. When I connect my two monitors to my Macbook, it just automatically extends the displays.
On your Mac go to your Apple icon in the top menu navigation > About This Mac > What is listed in 'Graphics' there?

May not be graphics related.  Is there a way to disable the rotate feature in Photoshop?  I was reading this and thought maybe you should try disabling it then seeing if the problem still remains.

Let me know.
If it is a display issue you can trouble shoot the display driver and see if that is what is causing the image to be flipped upside down.

Disable the GPU to quickly narrow down the issue

Can you post a screenshot of the before and after (ie. right side up, upside down)?
