Since Ps 23.x most adjustment layers, unfortunately specially Curves, are super slow, throtteled and jerky. - Please fix that asap, thanks.

Hi,  i tried to reproduce it with the same file I had troubles with. Now it doesn't show up so clearly. I only could reproduce it once, after I confirmed the adjustment of the mask but then I wanted to make further adjustments, then I could not move the corner point at all. But in general the behaviour is not constant. Only sometimes I can't barely move any point of the curve. Here is alink with the File: https://web.tresorit.com/l/9SFMi#QKoH-Tnjg7JjWJcxnxJcrA

There are two Adjustment Layers on top. Try to adjust the mask content with curves.

What is are the dimensions, ppi and bit depth of the Smart Object you are applying the Curves to? 
I am trying to re-create a simialr file on my end. 

 

If you work on a rasterized or original file (no smart object) do Curves styill behave slowly?

Hi,

I'm experiencing really slow Curves already since PS 21.x.x and 22.x.x and it gets gradually worse.  I'm now on 23.0.1.

I'm experiencing super slow curves especially while adjusting masks. I just wanted to write a new issue topic but found this one. The size of the image almost doesn't matter. As long as there are several layers the curves start to be super slow and like I said adjusting masks is almost not possible. Turning the Ruler Off doesn't help. Turning off 'Enable Native Canvas Rulers" kind of helped a little.

Please Adobe Fix this, it is almost not possible to use curves anymore.

 

Thanks!

Nope please uncheck that "Solution. Not the correct solution.

As I replied in https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/adjustment-sliders-unresponsive-in-latest-photoshop-update-21-1-3/m-p/11152341, it does not solve the problem. As soon you zoom in/out or touch the canvas with the mouse, it is super jerky again. Currently I am working on a file from a D850 (lossless compressed NEF) loaded as smart object from ACR into Ps. It is horrible to work with. Totally no go.

Dimension of this file?
Resolution of file (300ppi,600ppi...) ?

8/16/32 bit file?

I suspect it's Enable Native Canvas Rulers based on your description. Can you doublecheck that checking that one makes things jerky again?
