PS too slow on zoom over 250%

Maxbook M1 Max 2023 64 GB, Sequoia 15.5.1

40 GB RAM for Photoshop

Photoshop 26.6 Beta 

Same Problem in AE

When masking (painting with black) and zooming over 250% working is not possible

What's your image size in pixels.

How complex is it?  (how many layers, work paths, smart objects etc.)

I have an M2 Pro MacBook Pro with 16GB and Sequoia, and I have tried painting out with a layer mask in an image 7,500 x 10,000 pixels, and I am not seeing any lag at all. I am zoomed into 1110% and the brush size almost fills the screen.   I am seeing an 8.69GB temp file in scratch space.

Is this just in the beta version?  I am using 26.6 m.3014

I am trying to think of other variables that might help track down your issue.  Can you think of any other information that might help.

Hi @totoausveroia 

1. Try resetting Prefs for the Beta:
/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/ Photoshop Beta Settings (Mac Ventura)
/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/Adobe\ Photoshop\ \(Beta\)\ Settings (Mac)


C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop (Beta)\Adobe Photoshop (Beta) Settings

Launch BETA Photoshop While Pressing The Keyboard Shortcut
With Photoshop closed, press and hold Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and then Launch Photoshop the way you normally would.

2. It may help if we could see your Photoshop beta System Info. Launch Photoshop beta, and select Help >System Info...and copy/paste the text in a reply.  

Thanks,
