Photoshop freezes when trying to change the size or hardness of the brush.

After the last update 27.4, Photoshop freezes when trying to change the size or hardness of the brush. It only helped to switch back to the previous version 27.3.1

 

There are no errors when the program freezes, and if you minimize the application and expand it, it will restore. But the brush settings won't change, and if you try to change them again, Photoshop freezes again.

    Can you tell us what happens when you change your Smoothing from 0% to 100%?

    This Photoshop issue shows how updates can disrupt workflow, similar to how Globe SIM Card Registration ensures a stable and reliable connection to avoid interruptions in service.

    Hi ​@Mileon17 ,

    Ensure smoothing is enabled.
    Steps:

    1.     Select the Brush Tool (B)
    2.     Look at the top toolbar
    3.     Find Smoothing and inscrease the value.

    Let us know if this helps

    Thanks for replying. I think it’s not about the smoothing because the line itself feels choppy no matter how smooth i draw the curve, and the issue still persist after adding smoothing

    Thanks for trying. but I went ahead and did what you said the app still not working properly it still tries to make curves as individual lines and it more prominent when you make the curve zoomed out.

    The app is really laggy and I have a decent pc . but when I draw the line does not feel smooth and the outcome is the curves became jagged and weird they look like lines that tries to look like curves. idk what to do I tried messing around with the performance settings nothing seemed to help this is really unusable

    if you want the system infor :

    I installed the 27.5 update, and the problem is still there. It's unfortunate. 😥

    Hey, ​@Sarah13242, ​@MAdrian & ​@kevin_8960. Thanks for the updates.

    Please make sure there are no stale preferences in your Photoshop. Go to the location of the preference folder below and rename it to backup.

    • Windows 10/11: Users/[user name]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop [version]/Adobe Photoshop [version] Settings

    • You can press Press the Windows key > Enter 'Run' > Enter %APPDATA%\Adobe

    • Rename the Adobe Photoshop folder by adding a .old at the end. (Adobe Photoshop 2026 > Rename > Adobe Photoshop 2026. old), You can restore these preferences later if needed.(https://adobe.ly/4860qM9)

    • Restart the computer.

    These changes will provide a fresh start to Photoshop, much like a new installation.

    Thanks!

    Thank you for the reply Sameer. I followed your suggestion, the issues go away when i make a new PS Settings folder, and that solution actually helped me norrow down the possible conflicts that cause this issue. As far as i can see, it comes from the PSUserConfig.txt that most wacom tablet users use to be able to uncheck Windows Ink and still have pen pressure in Photoshop. That in relation with my Brushes. If i delete the brushes.psp, it works ok with PSUserConfig.txt, but not if i have the my old brushes.psp.

     

    Also the problem seems to happen only if i have the Brushes settings tab opened in PS with Brush tip settings highlighted. If i close the tab, hardness and brush size on right click behave normally.

     

    So there seems to be a conflight between actual brushes, the brush settings tab, and the psuserconfig.txt that helps us wacom users use pen pressure without using Windows Ink. 

     

    So as a temporary fix for the rest of us in this thread, i suggest closing the brush settings tab, and see if it works allright after that. I moved the brush settings tab in the collapsable tab group and it work fine like this, tho it’s a bit annoying for me.

    There is no news. I just went back to version 27.3.1 via Creative Cloud - Photoshop - Three dots - Other versions

    Everything is working fine on it. I hope with the new update, this problem will be solved.

    27.4.0 freezes randomly for me. I don’t remember every situation, but it’s happened when applying grain with the Camera Raw Filter, and when using Revert.

    I have exactly the same issue, freezes when you try to change brush hardness.
