P: Object Selection very slow response Photoshop 23.5

Current latest PS version is 23.5

And Object Selection is really slow.

It wasn't like this until the early version of PS 2022, but it's getting slower and at 23.5, it's really weirdly slow.

 

I thought there might be a speed difference between turning on and off the option, so I compared it, but the results were the same.

Precise previews for 16bit document on/off

Native canvas on/off

Multithread compositing on/off

Use Graphic Processor on/off

Image Processing- Select Subject(Device , Cloud) : I don't know if this affects object selection, but I tried changing options.

 

The size of the test image below is really small. 1000px x 667px (sRGB, 8bit document)

The reason why I tested it with a small image was because I thought it was because of the large image and the number of layers.

But if you look at the gif image below, you can see a huge difference in loading and speed

 

 

This is Photoshop 23.5's object selection.

Even though the end is cut to meet the gif capacity, the loading time in front is long. Once again, the test image is very small.

 

 

And Now this is Photoshop 21.0.3's object selection. you can check this...

 

 

Can you see the difference? It's a big difference.

 

This is the difference in speed that appears even though the image used in the test is really small.
In the actual working image (6000x8000px), there is a loading as if the computer had stopped a little bit.
It's the same if you try to select a very small, very simple part of a real image, not a lot of it.

 

This needs to be improved Speed or delay. In fact, the masking quality of those two images was almost the same.

'm glad Adobe is going to fix it. I'm a Windows 10 user, and this delay happened to me, too.

Want to share that the team is aware of this and working on a fix.

same. it's not delay. almost loading....

If make a selection for 1 to 2 seconds, if you make 10 choices in a image,  have to wait at least 10 to 20 seconds blankly looking at the monitor.

If that's the way it is, I understand it, but the versions from the previous year (2020, 2021) are not at all. This is a bug.

This is a delay that everyone feels and sees.

It gives me an uncomfortable feeling.

Even in a typical background (studio monochrome background), if you load it every time, you can't actually use the tool.  waste too much time.

Roll back to Photoshop 2021 until it is fixed.

In fact, the speed of the object selection tool in Photoshop 2022(23.5version) is currently very slow.

In both 2020 and 2021, the selection tool works much faster than 2022.

 

But even more surprisingly, I haven't actually experienced much of this slowdown in the first place.
Because there was a crash about object selection all year round...I couldn't use the tool lol...

 

So for now, I'm thankful that I can "use" the "object selection tool".

 

However, as many experts above report, speed improvement is clearly needed. If it's a little slow, you can use it with a little patience, but honestly, I think it's close to a bug because loading now occurs regardless of the size of the image or the size you want to choose.

Now that the object selection tool is available, the speed of the tool just needs to return to normal. Then we can have a good experience.

Compared to 2020 and 2021, the speed of the object selection tool in Photoshop 23.5 is abnormal.

@befaho Your 2021 version test results also look stable. Currently, the year versions with the object selection tool function are 2020, 2021, 2022, and this speed decrease or loading delay seems to occur only in 2022.

object selection tool so slow MY PS23.5

I tested the object selection tool of Ps23.5 on Ryzen5950x and Intel 12900k CPU Pc and got the same result.

This is seen as a slowdown in the tool according to the Photoshop version. I also tried PS2020, 2021 but I was able to use the selection at the right speed that I always use.

don't know if this is a bug or something that needs to be improved.

The reason why ordinary people use object selection is to quickly create a selection with some degree of accuracy and simplicity.

However, my experience using the object selection tool of 23.5 was not good. Too much loading time is needed to easily create some selections in the image.

my object selection slow too.

While loading while calculated for accuracy in a complex background is understandable to some extent, it is much slower than other versions in a simple background.

Is there a way to fix this? I already reset my preferences.
