P: Photoshop 23.3 is slow and heavy

This is what I say to my team members the most.

"Do not use features related to photoshop selection(Subject selet, Select and Mask)"

"It's slow, but it can't be helped. That's how Photoshop is today. Just Wait."

"Save it every 15 seconds, not every time you think of it"

From the point when Refine edge was changed to Select and mask, the functionality related to selection was broken, and frequent freezing or crashes were often caused by difficulties during projects.

And the biggest solution I've ever experienced was not to use those functions. Skilled retoucher can make good choices without the function.

I couldn't help saying wait. Because I provided the team with the best specification among the computers on the market, and I realized that it was not a computer problem because there was the same delay even though I used both Windows and Mac. So I could only say wait if there was a delay.

The same is true of saving frequently. I tried all the solutions that Adobe suggested and much-known ones, but I couldn't leave it to chance from the already buggy version. So the only solution was to store it directly as often as possible as a safety device.

I will continue to tell my team members as I have told them. But I'm curious.

I honestly don't know why we can't use normal functions, have to be anxious that Photoshop won't turn off, and feel like we're gambling in our working environment.

I don't want much. I want the stability of functions related to the improvement and selection of the delay.

Please refer to the 2017-2018 version of Photoshop for the standard of delay bugfix. The "speed-boosting" that a lot of people say that.

And for the stability of the selection function, you can fix the bug and freezing based on the time before "Refine Edge" changes. That was the most stable time.

I ask Adobe from the bottom of my heart. I'd like to use "photoshop".

Not only me, many users of Adobe really want to "use" Photoshop.

Everyone told me to install the old version (2018~2019) and I've used it like that. But since 2020, I've never installed the latest version and used it properly. Until when should I keep the old version?

Why doesn't Adobe answer this thread? This is the most important question........
Should I try installing the beta version?

Even though many people voted for an important defect in Photoshop, doesn't Adobe tell us about the repair plan?... 

I like Adobe's products, but we are paying customers. I don't know how much I have to understand and endure. Please let me know the progress of whether the bug or delay is being fixed so far.

I have 2019 & latest installed. Latest is absolutely horrible and I don't even bother with it. I use 2019 on Win 7 (I do pay a sub and not just a filthy pirate and not advocating piracy here. I'm hoping Adobe can use this to improve PS somehow so that it's not a misery to use on 'modern OS'.) because Win 10 gives me eyestrain after a while and everything feels better on 7 which is sadly no longer supported. The Win 7 version I use has had Creative Cloud removed and it is honestly butter smooth when painting, arranging UI, liquifying, loads in about 3 seconds etc. etc. It's honestly night and day between 2019 on Windows 7 and 10. Then it gets even worse when it comes to the latest version on Win 10. The latest version is practically unuseable. I'd need to invest in stress balls if I had to use it for extended periods.

Hope this helps Adobe but as you can see there is a clear and steady decline in the quality of your product.

Praying for this delay to stop has become a routine. lol..

same problem. Adobe need to let us know if the development team is fixing it or if the code itself cannot be fixed unless it is redeveloped. A lot of people are suffering.

In addition to so many performance issues with Photoshop 23.3.2 is the use of the spot healing tool.

See ny attached file. I select the tool, then utilize it to heal but the "black" mark does not disapper until I select another tool.

my hand tool is broken. when press hold space bar and move area on image, too delay. something wrong.

At some point, I thought again about the situation that occurs while photoshop.

In the past, I thought a lot about creativity, actually expressing it, and increasing work efficiency.

But now, One "challenge" that patiently breaks through these delays and lags accounts for most of my workflow.
Many people in this thread are now reporting on "delay" and I agree with most.

We don't know about programming, but there is one certainty. Compared to old Photoshop (especially old versions such as CS5,6 and cc2015), current Photoshop is very heavy.

Various people from various fields want to start Photoshop and have a good experience. Or there are people who are already doing it as a means of doing it.

But almost everyone feels that the end of the experience is questions and stress, "Why is it so slow and frustrating?"

If Adobe's program is free, we'll just use it and live with this inconvenience, but they're offering a subscription model and the actual latest version (now 23.3.2) is unavailable.

There are many posts on the Adobe community and there are many reports on various bugs, but this thread really seems to need Adobe to observe carefully and correct them as soon as possible.
