Can someone provide me with some assistance, please.  When using the brush, marquee or lasso tools, there is ever-increasing lagging.  I'm using the latest PS version on a MacBook Pro.  Advice is greatly appreciated!

Hey @teeseey. I'll need more info to help you figure this out. Please share the system info of Photoshop from Help > System info > Copy & paste into a text document > Upload to Creative Cloud files (https://assets.adobe.com/files) and share the link with us.

 

What troubleshooting steps have you tried?

Try this:

  • Go to Preferences > Performance > Uncheck 'Use Graphics Processor.'
  • Restart Photoshop.

 

If you have an Intel-based MacBook Pro, try this:

  • Enable the previously disabled 'Use graphics processor'
  • Preferences > Technology Previews > Check 'Disable native canvas' & restart Photoshop.

 

Please check this series of suggestions related to software optimization and in-app changes you can do to optimize Photoshop's performance in this article, and please give this a detailed read-through: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/optimize-photoshop-cc-performance.html

 

Let me know how it goes. Thanks!
