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

MBP 16, 2019, Core i9, 64 GB RAM, AMD Radeon Pro 5500 8 GB

MacOS Monterey 12.0.1

Appreciate any feedback. Specially if ther is a workaround to fix this prior to bug fix.

@J453 , thanks for getting back.

The Ruler OFF helped, I even could reactivate it. As soon I am doing something to the image, e.g. zoom and/or out, it's jerky again independent rulers are on or off.

Best results I get if things are unchecked like in screen shot, moving the curves point no longer jumps but is quiet slow, it's like moving throughout jelly. I am doing huge panos since ever this new slow-down effect is new. Unfortunately I have no longer a Mac running MacOS prior to Monterey to test any side effects between the two MacOS versions.

Somehow it's not the idea to disable GPU settings on a program like Photoshop 😉

I'd also be interested in wheter disabling/hiding the rulers makes a difference.

 

The other thing I would like to know is if it makes a difference if the curves dialog is not above the image (slide it to the side so the dialog doesn't overlap with the image) when adjusting the sliders.

 

It may help if we could see your Photoshop System Info. Launch Photoshop, and select Help >System Info...and copy/paste the text in a reply.

 

This will give us more clues on why things might be slow.

Hi

I just tested with the same image size as you and I'm not experiencing the issue with the Curves adjustment with Photoshop version 23.0.1, although I'm on Windows, one thing to try is enabling this option in preferences and restarting Photoshop to see if it helps
