P: Slow Curves Adjustment layer with zoom tool selected

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

I just updated to Photoshop 2023 (24.0.0) and it is slow as before. The last working correctly PS version was 21.x, all later versions are broken.

We addressed the performance for the use case that was originally presented and worked with the customer to verify it addressed issues for their workflow.


We tested various workflows, however, it is always possible that there might be other cases that strain the system.

 

  • Test files
  • attach System info
  • And steps would help diagnose what the issue might be if you are still seeing it too slow.

Still slow to respond compared to PS 21.0.3. It's hard to say it's perfectly sagged.

So this is "fixed" again.

Could you share any info how can I see that it is fixed?

To me it still works slow as before.

I need to check my previous posts but I think it about TWO YEARS this bug is in Photoshop.

I see no real difference - still very slow in all adjustment layers if zoomed in. Actually it's inconsistent, my curve layers with masks (dodging and burning layers) are slow like before. But a curve layer as the top layer with no mask is slightly improved.

@Mohit Goyal  Thank you!

It seems to be fixed. It is still slow, but it is usable.

By slow I mean, that it is not as responsive as I wished it would be.

I'll do some further testing on my end.

Bumping this thread again as the issue is still persisting and grinding my workflow to halt whenever I work with basic adjustment layers while zoomed in. Is there any update on this @Dramenon ?

Still there, no change, been two updates. I guess when a company makes an obscene 1.2 billion a month in revenue due to all us saps getting subscriptions, they no longer have to make sure their software works. We're just unpaid beta-testers now. Every video editor I know is switching away from AE and Premiere to Da Vinci and Fusion because of the egregious bugs in those applications now. Like, they are literally unsuable for professional work.
I think the same will happen with Photoshop soon and only the people who use it to crop a portrait picture for instagram will be left.
We're looking at switching to the Affinity series of applications as this is just unbareable. I remember when Adobe gave a sh*t about their customers and not their shareholders. I also remember what happened to Quark Xpress when they started to sh*t on their customers.
