P: Healing and Spot Healing Brush Lag

I was having the same experience with the Spot Healing brush On Win10. I tried all the suggestions here minus resetting my preferences, and none of that worked. I jumped back into CC2017 to work on a restoration. After some time I closed CC2017, and went back to CC2018 and the Spot healing brush was working as expected. I double checked to make sure I was on 2018, be switching over to the brush tool and saw the new Smoothing and Symmetry settings. I confirmed I was in 2018. but when I switched bach to the Spot healing Brush the lag had returned.

It appears the something with the smoothing gets switched on when using the brush tool and never turns off when going back to the Spot Healing.

Hi everyone,
Just reporting I've got the same problem.

8bit and 16bit uncompressed TIF files, color space is Adobe 1998. Files are typically 11,000px X 14000 pixels, created with a Betterlight 8K 4x5 scanback camera. 

I've had the exact same problem. I cursed at my screen all day and finally tapped out. Uninstalled and back to CC 2017.

I have this problem too and the tool gets stuck showing black on the subject. Rubbish update period. 

no diff

Considering it takes 5 minutes to reinstall, professionals should feel free to uninstall or not at their discretion.

I am  having the same problem which never existed with prior versions.  I have a very high end PC with all SSD drives .... this is crazy.  Editing has become a nightmare.  Please fix this ASAP.  Reboots, resets, turning off GPU card, etc. makes no difference.  Unacceptable.

What would help even more is if they didn't hide the whole thing under Advanced. Just put all the options out in the open as soon as you click Update or Install.

No one should ever remove the previous version when updating - if you use Photoshop professionally you should know this. It would help if Adobe didn't have the remove checkbox marked automatically.
