Dodge Brush Tool

Hi @Nathan36203058k6nq

Thanks for sharing the details. I hope the suggestions above were helpful. If not, we’ve recently released version 26.10—if you haven’t updated already, please update and let us know if that helps.

Are you referring to the Dodge tool in the toolbar? The Dodge tool is inherently destructive, meaning it permanently modifies pixel data unless applied to a duplicated layer — and even then, its outcomes can be imprecise and more challenging to fine-tune. Today, there are more controlled, non-destructive alternatives available that offer significantly better flexibility and results.

We are talking about a fairly large drawing area, I think that this is directly related to the brush size. On my rtx 5080, 64 gb it also slows down (and as far as I remember, when using huge brushes, it was like that before)
