Issues with Poor Performance in Photoshop CC 2020

Hi,

I recently started having issues with performance that are causing the following behaviors:

  • If I add a curves adjustment layer or any adjustment layer, the Mask does not appear white, but as a transparent mask in my layers panel.
    • If I make an adjustment, the mask does not immediately show the adjustment. I have to click the mask or on the image and then the mask gets updated
  • When I save a file, which is in TIF format, the save bar below in the lower left corner hangs at 99%. Again if I hit Escape on my Macbook Pro Touchbar, the hang goes away and the image shows up in Lightroom.
  • If I make a change to an adjustment layer, I often have to hover my Wacom pen over the image to see the change. This is most noticable when turning layers on and off.

 

I recently started working with luminosity masks, self created, and using Tony Kuyper's TK7 panel and this is when I started noticing the issues. I also thought I may be running out of RAM or scratch disk.

However, these are my settings:

 

 

I appreciate any suggestions folks have.

It might be worth resetting your Photoshop preferences to see if that helps. You can do that under the General tab in Photoshop preferences.

Thanks for that suggestion. It seems this did help slightly, but not enough to help, if that makes sense.

Okay. I did a reboot of my computer and this does seem to be working much
better now. Thanks so much.
