P: 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...

Another Update,

Seems like I spoke to soon?

This issue sprung back just now for the three ppl group individual ID photos.

Had to resort back to transform->flip->liquify/cancel-> then back to warp.

One thing I changed since "cursor method" was to change the memory usage in "performance" tab to "16267" which Photoshop states as lower value of "ideal range"

LRc was running as well and memory usage was at around 71% in activity monitor.

@JSP8475 this is a community forum with volunteers - not Adobe support directly. That being said - Sonoma has introduced some odd GPU issues that are known and being addressed that effect Liquify and Warp.

Same problem. Liquify nearly impossible to use.

Sonoma 14.1.1 on iMac 3.8ghz i7. AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT with 8gb. System ram 88 gb.

PS 25.1.0

Will try running updates tonight but not very hopeful.

Mark Dahm, Thank you but here it is January 2024 and the problem outlined in this thread persists.

I am working in PS 2024/ Mac Pro 2019/ OS 14.2.1

[Pedro Downunder]

Sameer K, No, that does not work for me. So this fault has persisted for nearly seven months now?

[monika34609331hpyn]

How they can ignore problem with main functionality for cusromers ? 
Lets send them mamy emails whit the issues  , maybe someone can record podcast on youtube with the case to publicise this. 

[Yahor28950454pns1]

Podcast, seriously?

These greedy lame programmers charge you monthly for non-functional product and you wanna treat them with a podcast? Don't be naive

[Yahor28950454pns1]

I've just contacted the customer support and received 3 months free becouse of this persisting issue. Fair enough?

[monikao94635112]

What's your idea for the issue ?

Writing to them about the problem  ? As you can see, it doesyn't work.

Sorry for pointing it out: The option inside the Technology Preview (Disabel Native Canvas) does not work. It is really a serious problem with photoshop in combination with mac os sonoma on mac studio M1 Ultra. On my macbook pro i7 ist seems we have no problem. - Previous mac os worked fine... ist only the combination photoshop with mac os sonoma. - I have found a lot of trouble notes in the www, but not a really helpful solution. Holding the option key by opening the liquify filter makes the ma creally slow and jumpy. - Please try to fix this problem for your photoshop users. Thank you ver much!

[Gerhard32285800pz01]

....maybe this option is a hand to somone: The Problem will not solved by holding the option key by opening the liquify filter, but holding the control key is helping. It ist a little bit strange, but ist seems that this way it can a help until someone will really solve this trouble with mac os sonoma in combination with photoshop.

i've had the same problem M2 Max MBP... 

It took 4 months for Adobe to fix the liquify lag issue. I  hope it doesn't take that long to fix this bug.

Newest update didn't fix it.

[Julio Anaya]

Having this same problem with Liquify Tool being super laggy on Mac Studio M1 Max 

[Efekan Pürçekli]

25.4 , updated today 
Still same. Super Laggy !

[Seven Zhang]

The liquefaction problem is still not solved this year, which seriously affects the efficiency. I'm wondering why the problem hasn't been solved in six months.

[Mark.Dahm]

@Seven Zhang , we have not been able to reproduce in house to troubleshoot the issue; all attempts to find a person willing to get on the phone and share their screen have failed. If you have the issue and can reproduce it, we would appreciate the assist if you also have the time.

[Seven Zhang]

Hi Mark，

I'm very happy to finally have an actionable reply . I'm very happy if I can help, I'm working from home these days but I'm on Italian time, if it's convenient please tell me a time when we're both in daylight and please tell me how to do it? My English is not very fluent but I will try my best!

best regards,

Huiqi (Seven) Zhang

@Mark.Dahm I do not have an m2 Mac, but I am experiencing this problem in an Intel iMac and would gladly share my screen to help solve this problem. It has been very frustrating over the past few months. My computer specs are as follows:

3.6 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9, 

Radeon Pro Vega 48 8 GB

32gb RAM

Photoshop 25.4.0

[Erin26]

It seems the issue had been resolved after you posting message. Looks like quantum event

[keving86910342]
