Question

Photoshop lag when dragging sliders with Wacom Intous + Windows Ink

Hi! 

 

   So when Windows Ink is ON sliders inside Photoshop only respond after the pen was moved a few pixels. They sit in place until I get far enough from the contact location, then they start dragging and updating. 

It’s usually annoying to work like that and making small adjustments is impossible.

   Is there something I could do?Thanks.

    Turning Windows Ink off works. It's a solution I've known from before, but now I lose pen pressure.

     

    I also know about editing PSUserConfig.txt, but that creates another bug (shoe lace artifact).

      Hello,

       

      My graphics card is up to date. The one I have is  PowerColor Radeon RX 6900 XT Red Devil. 

       

      I tried turning "Use Graphics Processor" off and it dont affect sliders. They are just as unresponsive. The issue is the same when I'm dragging the corners in free transform or warp.

        This was posted on another forum with good responses:

        1. Install the latest Wacom drivers
        2. Launch the Wacom Tablet Properties application
        3. Select your Tablet
        4. Under Tool, select your pen
        5. Under Application, select All.
        6. Navigate to the Mapping tab.
        7. Uncheck Use Windows Ink.
        8. Close the Wacom Tablet Properties application.

          Hi @RoxanaMD sorry to hear this.

           

          Is your graphics card driver up to date? What graphics card do you have? What happens if you turn off "Use Graphics Processor" in Preferences > Performance?

           

          If that helps, and you have an older graphics card, try turning it back on, then go under Preferences > Technology Previews, and try enabling "Older GPU Mode (pre 2016)."

           

          Thank you,

          Cory
