P: Photoshop 23.3 is slow and heavy

The current Photoshop version is very slow.

(It was fast and accurate until version PS 21.0.3, and the problem began after that)

 

1. Hand tool(=press space bar) and move area is slow (ofcousre disable panning)

2. liquify zoom(There is a delay once when zooming in more than 50%. Unconditionally, Version 21.0.3 is smooth no lag)

3. layer toggle visable slow (Ctrl + ,) its React one beat slower. (This part until version PS2015.5. 2015.5 is really fast and smooth everything. Check this.....)

 

I don't know why if I have to pay my monthly subscription and work harder.

Some say. Don't update it unconditionally, report people's reactions.

Yes. i do, and i did.
Always leave the previous version and update to the latest version. But I always use the previous version. It is now 2022. Until when should my working environment stay in 2015.5 Photoshop or 2020 Photoshop?

 

I've done dozens of reinstallations, and I've done dozens of computer formats. Regardless of the type of computer, this was a problem with the Photoshop version. It wasn't even a plug-in problem.(disable native canavs thing is already try... 😃 )

It's not abut my pc. 
I tested it on everyone's computer I know and I got the same conclusion.
(Ryzen5600x, 5900x, intel 12900k, imac, m1 mini ... etc all the same)


CHECK this , and fix Please. How many more years should I wait...?

unstable and slow.

Which shortcut do you press the most while photoshop?

Ctrl+C ? Ctrl+Shift+i ?

I press Save Ctrl+S the most. (Once every 10 seconds)

Because I'm working nervously every day as if I'm walking on thin ice that might break anytime, the habit of saving every 10 seconds like this is very helpful to me.

But it's like Photoshop isn't giving me any credibility.

I also do 3D rendering as my side job.

But even though rendering programs do much heavier work than Photoshop, they're faster than this and most importantly, they don't break files without saving them once.

 

Why doesn't Adobe improve this stability and slowness, which is the biggest problem?

I use both Photoshop CS6 and 2022 versions. The heavy and important work is done in CS6 version.

I want to do everything in the 2022 version, but it's too unstable and too slow.

It's a version that breaks freezing or work and is difficult to use..........

I think maybe Adobe's standard of "available" speed and our standard of "good or fast" speed are different.

What is certain is that there is a difference in the speed and smoothness of the work environment from the old version.

PS CS3~CS6  // PS CC2014~2015 // PS CC2017 // PS CC2018~2019 // PS CC2020 // and.... etc

The big frame where you can feel the difference in speed is as above. As I marked it like that, there is a speed difference between versions. Of course, the oldest PS CS3 to CS6 are incredibly light and fast. What customers want is this. 

Just like before... I miss the days when I made dozens of layers, the image size was over 10000px, and the image was 16 bits deep, but it didn't really lag. (Even the CPU was before Ivy Bridge, and the RAM was 2 to 4 gigabytes.)

I just updated to 23.4 and the issue persists... still laggy and unusable

I repeat: this problem IS NOT FIXED on the last version!

But as a joke, we said that the new version is heavier, but now it's a serious situation.

In fact, 2019 version is the Maginot Line, which had few speed problems such as delays. After that, more and more...

@juancasini I agree with your experience. So I tell my team to save it often. Don't think about it. Just press Control+S once a minute....

Delays and heavy workflow are such important issues, so why adobe aren't the plans announced yet?

 

@si24781306tbj5  2014 is also a good choice. As you say, using the old version is the smartest solution.

However, We have to think of two things.

1. Why should we use the old version? Then why do we pay for the current version?

2. People who belong to companies that are eligible for the Adobe License Agreement must be forced to use the new version. So if you're not an individual user, can't actually use the old version.

Any news about this fix? It's been TWO MONTHS since reported and I'm still having the same issue:

Photoshop super slow / laggy causing many accidents and becoming unusable on big files.

In my personal experience, PS cc2014 was the best for me.

hidpi, select subject..thing.. It would be great if we could use the newly added functions as fast as the 2014 version of Photoshop.

It's not enough to say that Photoshop is slow today. It's broken. Can't use for work. Just possbile for few test only..
