Question

Text Resizing/Warping/Editing suddenly Slow/Sluggish

Hello.

Was working with Photoshop all day. Stopped for dinner. Came back to Photoshop and suddenly when I try to resize text layers it is slow to edit with a sluggish delay. I have the latest updates. I cannot use alternate methods to edit the text as I have to match a particular style by resizing, warping, etc. I CANNOT achieve the desired results for my employer using the character panel so that is out.

 

My computer is decent enough and I have been doing the same work since September without this issue.

I give Photoshop a lot of ram with a dedicated Scratch drive. Turning on or off the Graphics Processor does nothing. Restarting the computer does nothing.

 

Any help appreciated.

 

Similar issue to this thread here (sort of) :

"Transform tool for text is unusable for me in PS. It's so laggy I can't even control it properly. It's a second long lag and I'm not exaggerating."

To follow up.

Updating my Graphics Card Driver did nothing.

Aside from V 23.1.1 I also have 21.2.1- This version has the same problem.

After looking over things, I almost think that this particular issue is just Legacy Compatibility. I'm not entirely sure. I get work to edit that could have been created recently or up to 10 years ago. The people in charge of delegating this work are not artists or designers- certainly not Adobe users. I sort of think Adobe has jumped the gun on all of these new updates which break backwards compatibility- the business world is slow to adapt to changes so Legacy Compatibility should probably be supported for another 10 years or so just to kind of "wring out" the last of the older documents that will still be in use. I think I may have gotten a mixed batch of PSD files in a series because 2 files down, the text slowdown has seemingly stopped. I say this now but God knows if it's really another issue- considering that this same kind of problem is routinely posted in the forums. Meh, I think I am typing to myself.
