Hello all, when i create 3m x 4m 200 dpi image and when use some brushes all work very slow (time delay when I draw very quickly), most troubles i have when use KyleDryMedia brushes on this image size (3m x 4m)

i have i7-5960X, 64GB DDR4, 2nd m2 ssd drive for photoshop temps, and geforce 970. In photoshop performance all options is correct.

Why top hardware work so bad?

    It is what it is with so many pixels.  Small brush size and higher spacing will help. 

    Are you using Windows 10?  Check Resource Monitor to see what the bottleneck is.

    What are your Preferences > Performance > Cache settings?  If not already selected, set it to the third option, which is Huge Pixel Dimensions.  How much room on the Scratch drive, and what size Photoshop......temp files are in its root?  I can easily see such a large file over spilling a typical NMVe drive, unless your are a billionaire. 

    Do you have second and third Scratch drives set?  What is your Windows Page File size, and is it set to automatic?

    I know this is Photoshop, but it might be worth asking the Premiere Pro Hardware forum guys, as they are the experts at managing lots of data.

      Because you apparently work on a file of 23622px x 31496px – that might be called a considerable size.

      Are you sure you need 200ppi at the final size?

        At 10m for the longer side that would still come to 80ppi which seems generous for that size.

        But if you need to work at that size I can only recommend trying to see if you can optimise Photoshop’s performance in general, open only one file at a time etc.
