In Photoshop CC the pen tool lags about half second from when it is initially clicked. This makes it very hard to work fast using paths. It literally takes half a second for an anchor point to appear after clicking.
Yeah it’s true but can’t define this error I have also tried a lot with WIN 7 but it doesn’t work even I have tested it in 16GB ram also but still the PEN tool was the same. I suggest you to shift to windows 8 64 bit don’t waste your time in trying it on WIN 7 it will not work. Rest is up to you.
I just want to hop back in here as I was the original poster to say that the issue still exists. I have updated all programs and even added more RAM (32GB). The pen tool lags.
Every now and again though it all of a sudden gets normal. RARELY. Then it goes back to its same ole shenanigans.
I really do hope they get this fixed soon...I have sadly just become accustomed to its lag now and accept it. But that's not right.
Hey PE thank you for the link. Unfortunately the problem persists as of February 11, 2014. I would even love a workaround if there is one...but I have tried everything...nothing works.
So the problem could be with your video card driver.
Try disabling GPU drawing in Photoshop's preferences, restarting Photoshop, and see if the slowdown is gone.
I am really curious about why you and the other emps are always posting those same anwsers. Nearly in every Thread where a smal count of people is affected - I read the same. Same happend to me in CS5 and no one was helping me, except a really kind user, that solved a problem for the entire community. So if only a low precentage of persons are affected, this has to be anwsered in the same fast way as usual? Do Adobe really care about their customers? Having CC bought for a year getting a not correctly working piece of software isn`t that good. I am working nearly daily with the pen tool, which to use really is a pain in the ***! Going so far, that I switched back to CS5. That is not a solution, why you aren't investing a bit more into customer service to show us that at least you "tried to solve the problem" ? Why is that so?
Well you won`t anwser me, this is why I love capitalism coupled with monopolism. Yes we can.
Because frequently the problem is local to the users system, and very frequently the problem is the video card driver.
We're trying to help you - but if we don't see the same problem, then we have to figure out why you see the problem on your system. If we can reproduce the problem - then we fix it. But that means that the remaining problems are more likely to be outside the application itself.
Fred and Klutman, can you post a video of the behavior you're seeing? It may also help if we could see your Photoshop System Info. Directions for sharing your system info from Photoshop:
sorry had a lot of work to do... but today I created a video that compares CS5 and CC together. I had to shot this with my camera, cause recordingtools aren't giving the necessary feedback.
When you look close and listen to the sound when te click comes(!) you will see there is a delay. Same happens to the pen tool, whick makes quick and accurate work impossible.
Wow, I find it pretty unbelievable that this issue still isn't addressed. Not only is the pen tool lagging(and randomly works fine for a while, then starts lagging again), but I also can't preset the path operations mode with the + and - keys like in CS6. This is irritating to say the least, especially since the pen tool is a vital part of my daily workflow.
Adobe, are you hearing us???
(specs: Win7 64, plenty of ram, nvidia gt 630, recently updated drivers, did a clean reinstall of CC, trashed prefs, changed multiple options in Preferences>Performance)
Thats what i ment, when i was writing first. At first "Wow we care" but then "Let some gras grow over those low % affected guys with their problems, they are not worth it bein cared about".
Yeah Klutman you seem to be right.. So then Adobe needs to understand that 1. A large percentage of us are Windows users, and 2. A very large percentage of us use the pen tool!
Please, can someone from Adobe at least respond to the thread?
Determine what video card you have and go directly to the manufacturers website (nVidia or ATI/AMD) and download the latest driver: http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/201...
If doing both of those doesn't help, select Edit>Preferences>Performance... and click [Advanced Settings...]. Set the Drawing Mode to "Basic" and restart Photoshop.
I've tried all of these methods and unfortunately the pen tool lag is still there, and inability to preset the path mode still isn't working correctly.
Today to my delight the pen tool suddenly worked fast again, but only for about 1/2 hour, then went right back to lagging.
.. I really don't want to simply be one who jumps on a forum to complain, but I'm a graphic designer/artist who frequently composites digital room settings. I'm currently trying to pen around some bedding to place it on a new bed frame (the lasso isn't accurate enough, and I can't use the alpha channel trick because of the background in the image). Just posting this to demonstrate just how frustrating and counterproductive a lag like this would be on every click of the mouse.
