Has your brush been lagging within the past few months or year, even though you have a good spec'd out PC? The brush lags for 1-10 seconds after a brush stroke of varying sizes. You tried reinstalling Photoshop, rolling back versions, adjusting the scratch disk, performance options, RAM allocation settings, adjusting history states, cache levels, cache tile size, using graphics processing on or off, and nothing seems to work? But your system used to run Photoshop buttery smooth within the past year or so?
This has been me for the past 8-10 months and it has been driving me crazy. Nearly to the point of abandoning Adobe software since it is borderline useless due to brush lag. Well, I finally found the solution and I hope this is the case for you. And it's not Adobe's fault.
My specs are: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 8-Core 3.90Ghz
64GB Corasair RAM
Nvidia GeForce 3070 Ti
M.2 main drive w/photoshop installed
SSD scratch drive
Main Fix: The problem is how your graphics processor handles anti-aliasing within Photoshop. If it applies too much, this causes massive performance issues that cannot be tweaked in Photoshop.
Go to your Nvidia control panel (NOT Geforce experience) where all your 3D settings are. You can right click your Nvidia icon in the Windows taskbar (lower right by your clock) and click Nvidia Control Panel.
Go to Program settings tab and select Photoshop.
Adjust settings to optimize Photoshop's performance, see screenshots.
It should be night and day difference. If you notice too much aliasing, you will need to tweak graphics settings to get what you prefer, but I dont mind aliasing since Photoshop runs extremely fast this way.
Let me know if this works for you!
Bonus: I found that turning on Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling makes your graphics intensive programs run smoother as well, but this is not the main fix. Go to Display settings, scroll down to Graphics Settings and click it. Turn on Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling. See screenshots.
Yo #linux. I was thinking of switching to Linux sometime soon, but I have to use #Adobe products for my job. How would you use Adobe software on Linux? Do you use a Windows VM or is there a special program to use Adobe products on Linux? If so, how easy is it to set up?
What Adobe programs do you use? You could go to winehq.org (wine is not an emulator though it's an API layer) and look up the compatibility of that program you want to use.
Welcome to the /m/geometrydash microblog! This is the place you would post if you wanted to share your level completions of the main levels, or for custom levels when you don't have a video. You can also just have some small talk here if you think it would fit better here than to make a thread. Please keep in mind that every rule (except for post rules) sill apply here.
