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...

We were able to observe this lagginess in a recent screen sharing session, on Mac Intel, and were able to duplicate inconsistent lagginess with very large files. We are investigating this. 

 

Would be happy to know from you:

1. Happen predictably/with specific steps, or just more randomly?

2. Happen with files an any particular size, or color profile or bit depth?

3. Happen on what hardware and software combination?

4. Does it seem like the mouse click down event is getting locked up, or is the drawing clearly just lagging behind the mouse down events?

 

Thanks for any additional clarification. We beleive we started seeing this with Ventura and on newer Mac hardware, but not every report lines up that way, so there could be multiple issues happening.

I can't believe this STILL hasn't been fixed.  Still same lagging liquify problem on my Macbook Pro (M1) running Sonoma 14.3.

Hi Mark,

I'm very happy to finally have an actionable reply . I'm very happy if I can help, I'm working from home these days but I'm on Italian time, if it's convenient please tell me a time when we're both in daylight and please tell me how to do it? My English is not very fluent but I will try my best!

best regards,

Huiqi (Seven) Zhang
