MacBook Pro Apple M2 Max Laggy Liquify

[Abreu.pedro]

MacBook Pro Apple M2 Max 96GB RAM - Photoshop 24.2
I recently changed to this new computer and photoshop is super laggy in tools like liquify and other filters, the brush lags a lot!
Even the zoom is slow.
Even my 2015 MacBook is faster at these tasks.

I don't know what is going on but something can't be right...

Thank you @Abreu.pedro, curious if you use any plugins by Damon D Bell?

If so then the thread below that @kevin stohlmeyer posted is for your issue and once we hear back from you we can merge it so you are informed on the progress of the fix.

Hi Kevin! No, zero plugins instaled yet..

Thanks for confirming plugin usage.

You've mentioned Photoshop 24.2, please update Photoshop to the latest version 24.3 via the Creative Cloud desktop app.

If the issue exists, it'll help if you include more info about what you see. Could you please share a screen recording of this behavior & the system info of Photoshop from Help > System info > Copy & paste into a text document > upload to Creative Cloud files (https://assets.adobe.com/files) and share the link here.

As a test, press & hold the OPT key when you go to Filter > Liquify filter to skip using GPU & try again.

Thanks!
