When using the Apple Pencil 1 on the iPad (6th Gen), there is a slight delay in Photoshop when compared to drawing in the Apple Notes and OneNote apps. It happens more often when the Pencil is titled. Pressure sensitivity is off for both brush settings.
I don't know why it says "fixed", it clearly is NOT fixed.
The pen works fine in any other app, including Adobe Illustrator.
However, when I draw, the image doesn't begin appearing on the screen until after I've lifted the pen.
In fact, it don't think the issue we've all experienced is actually lag at all. It seems more intentional, like a setting we've all overlooked perhaps.
Even in PhotoShop, I can move the pen around the to choose the color/shade I want with no delay. Same thing with selecting the size of my brush. I touch the tip to the color or size and then I can drag it to precisely what I want with virtually no delay.
Painting, however, is a different story. If the issue was lag, then when I create shorter strokes there'd be a longer delay afterward and when I make long strokes you'd expect that the image would begin appearing back at the beginning before I finish and then continue almost like an animation. That's not what's happening. Regardless of how long I spend with the pen to the pad, the line will not appear until after I've lifted the tip off of the screen.
For any trolls commenting that I need a newer pen/iPad/OS/app update:
I'm using:
• iPad Air 4th Gen
• Apple Pencil 2
• Latest OS v. 15.7
• Adobe Creative Cloud All Apps > PhotoShop [Installed Oct 8th 2022]
Thank you for this information. Regarding brush strokes not appearing until you lift the pencil, are you also seeing this with tools such as Healing brush/Clone stamp and Smudge? Just trying to narrow down more specific details to help us with what you're seeing. Also, has this issue always consistently reproduced for you in all Ps for iPad versions as well as iOS versions?
I am using 5.5.2 and the problem is that with a stylus the application only displays the line to the screen when you have finished the stroke and lifted the pen. So a short stroke shows quickly but a long stroke waits till you lift the pen. This behaviour is not the same as using a finger which shows the trail of the stroke as you. move. This makes using a stylus impossible but this was the whole reason for downloading PS to the iPad.
