Question

Photoshop runs very slow when grid is turned on

My grid is setup every 10px, with 10 sub-divisions, so I can snap everything to be pixel perfect if I turn the grid on. This was working perfectly in older versions.

 

With the newer versions the grid suddenly looks different, and once turned on (Ctrl+' on Win), Photoshop begins to be very laggy, and virtually unusable.

 

So I can't use grid anymore..

See attached image how the new grid looks like.

 

Any suggestions?

    Yes there is a big lag when the grid is on.  Please report this to Adobe...  Ther is No lag if Legacy Compositing is checked and PS restarted.  However, I do not know if Legacy Compositing has been fixed in 21.2.1...

     

    Edit I just turned off Legacy Compositing restarted PS 21.2.1 and the Lag is gone.  Try Editing your Preferences with legacy checked restart. uncheck it and restart ps check the lag...
