MacBook Pro Apple M2 Max 96GB RAM - Photoshop 24.2
I recently changed to this new computer and photoshop is super laggy in tools like liquify and other filters, the brush lags a lot!
Even the zoom is slow.
Even my 2015 MacBook is faster at these tasks.

I don't know what is going on but something can't be right...

I have updated to Photoshop 24.4.1, but the problem still persists.

I am also encountering the same issue on my newly purchased MacBook M2 Pro 14". When I use the Liquify tool, the mouse cursor becomes extremely laggy. Please help me resolve this annoying issue.

@llocq sorry to hear that.

 

It may help if we could see your Photoshop System Info. Launch Photoshop, and select Help >System Info...and copy/paste the text in a reply.

@CShubert thank you, updated it in the morning and so far so good today with the intermittent non-applying of liquify. Thank you and the team.

Even before, I have not experienced the lagging of liquify as others reported (Macbook Pro M2 Max).

Update!! It worked fine once with a jpg file.

 

As soon as I opened a psd file the lag is still here...

Huge improvement over yesterday's version. It's usable but, still not up to par. Thank you though, I have a lot of files to get out the door today so this helps a lot!

24.4.1 is a huge improvment for me. It's still not as fast as my base model M1 MAcbook Air BUT!.....At least it is usable and I no longer sound like I have tourettes everytime I need to liquify something

24.4.1 did not fix the problem. Still laggy, especially with large files. Lag is not present in 2022 version
