P: Sampling lag and stutter with either clone stamp or healing brush

[MAdrian]

Hello,

After updating to PS 22.0 on windows 10, i am experiencing big lag and stutter while sampling with either clone stamp or healing brush. This lag goes away once i uncheck show overlay in clone source tab group, but this is not a solution as i am disabling a usefull tool functionality. Any ideea what might cause this?

My PC

intel i7 10700K

nvidia RTX 2060 Super 8gb

Hi mihaiudrn, could we please see your full Photoshop System Info. Launch Photoshop, and select Help >System Info...and copy/paste the text in a reply.

Are you using a Wacom by chance?

Hello Jeffrey, here is the system info and yes, i am using a wacom intuous pro 2017 tablet with the lateste drivers installed. I took the time to uninstall Photoshop and delete all it's prefrences files from user-appdata-roaming-adobe, reinstalled the app, and for now it seems a bit snapier, but I didnt have the time to test it thoroughly. I fear that it will start lagging again as it did before.

Hello, so after uninstalling and installing PS as mentioned before, the problem is back.

[sarahb66142229]

I get the exact same issue. Reinstalling doesn't work. I have uninstalled everything and reinstalled at least four times now and it doesn't fix a thing. This stuttering happens even when I'm sampling colors for the brush tool. There's something wrong with this program.

*edited to add*

I am not using a tablet, simple mouse and keyboard. 

[MAdrian]

Exactly, and i got no answer to this day. Probably ther new version has something faulty. Weirdly enough this happened on older PS versions too. Problem seems to come from 'show overlay' for the stamp tool. Disabling it makes it work normally, and that sucks beacause you have to give up on a very usefull functionality.

[shamde]

I also have this issue, and yes I am using a wacom tablet. Still laggy using KB&M however. Simply holding alt takes too long for sample icon to appear, and the delay on releasing it too.

Now I see why some people refuse to update...

Edited to add: Can confirm, works smoothly with 'show overlay' off - found in the Clone Source window.

[MAdrian]

Indeed, I have uninstalled PS reinstalled PS, deep deleting all prefs, uninstalling/reinstalling cc app. Nothing seems to fix it. Played with the performance options, unchecking video card and so on. Nothing works.

[h4nc0]

@Shamde Turning show overlay off worked for me.  Thanks. 

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

PLS i have the same problem - is there any solution?

[shamde]

Turn off 'show overlay'  - found in the Clone Source window.

It's not ideal as the overlay is pretty useful, but it's better than the lag.

[shamde]

@JeffreyTranberry are you still looking at this issue? 🙂

[MAdrian]

@JeffreyTranberry  I enabled windows ink from the wacom interface. Now the stutter is gone, but the lag is still there as sampling misses clicks. When i put the pen away and use mouse and keyboard, it's again stuttering and laging. I suspect something went wrong when that windows ink update came along.

[MAdrian]

@JeffreyTranberry I am coming with another update here, after more testing, i noticed that turning off 'use graphic processor' seems to solve the issue completly, but this makes the overall feel very rough. 

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Same problem for me. Trying to sample quickly while retouching with the clone stamp or healing brush results in stutter and lag. Unfortunately, disabling show overlay isn't really a solution, as it makes the tools almost unusable in some situations.

[sarahb66142229]

Coming back to this to add some details:

I am noticing stuttering and lag while even trying to sample COLOR in photoshop right now. This is Adobe Photoshop 2021. I can see that the menu flickers when the program is lagging, the menu lists literally pop in and out of view. When the program is lagging I cannot sample color or use the clone stamp tool properly. I'm astounded that Photoshop isn't addressing this. We cannot be the only ones dealing with this problem. Editing takes at least 3x as long now as I have to slowly sample and check that the program actually registered it or I'm often undoing incorrect sampling as it pulls from some random spot on the image instead of where I sampled from. It's a mess, Adobe, and it's not worth what I'm paying. 

I have:

Show Overlay - Unchecked

Mode: Normal

Flow: 100%

Aligned: Yes

Sample: Current Layer

I am using a mouse and keyboard on Windows 10. I am not attempting to use plugins nor have I installed any brushes. I am using a simple PS 2021 Soft Round brush, hardness set to 0%

I cannot believe that this hasn't been addressed yet. 

[sarahb66142229]

Could this be a problem connected to using the ALT key to sample? Could ALT be connected to another shortcut that causes the program to be confused? At this point I am grasping at straws to fix the issue. 

If you are reading this, do me a favor:

Open Photoshop and any picture to work on.

Select the Clone Stamp tool

TAP (don't hold) the ALT key once

Look up at the menu - Are parts of the menu underlined now? 

Tap the ALT key again and see if anything changes on that menu.

If I press ALT or tap it over and over, the menu even disappears.

If you're seeing that, please let me know, I think that the problem could possibly be connected to the Alt button and it's making the entire program freak out. I know this is grasping at straws but if Adobe isn't going to address this bug then I'm going to get all windows 98 weird on the problem solving.

Is there a way to assign a different key to Sampling for the Clone Stamp?

[IvanMladenov]

Have exactly same problem....so ANNOYING!!! And disabling "show overlay" option is not a solution for me either! Adobe??? What is wrong? What does it take so long to solve this BIG problem???? 

EDIT: I also tried to enable "use windows ink" in Wacom properties.....seems to be quicker, as disturbing white "Alt" icon keep showing under a cursor every time I click it. 

EDIT: ufff, after enabling "use windows ink" Photoshop started to something like freeze in some way....it is possible to do some operations as saving the file, but (visible) cursor has only windows arrow, and nothing is possible to do with it

EDIT: no way! with windows ink, it just SEEMS to be quicker....cursor moves quickly with taking sample, but real position of sample is still same delayed as before! Very weird.....

[MAdrian]

So, I managed to get and test laterst version on PS on my last gen maxed out imac from work. Sampling also does some sort of stutter and lag on stamp tool and healing brush on mac os also. This is really annoying and it's breaking the workflow. Can you guys look into it allready? It seems to be more obvious on 50+ mgpx images.

[IvanMladenov]

And on top of that all......this stuttering and delays about sampling is at least 3rd time we are talking about it.....I remember a couple of years ago with a first CC version about absolutely the same problem. After several updates it has been solved. So really Adobe guys, ..... again? 

[Mark-Hazeldine]

I've been having the same issue for a while now. It's getting very annoying that Adobe aren't fixing it as it's pretty core functionality that worked fine for years! I'm wasting tons of precious time and it's slowing down my professional workflow. Not good Adobe!

[Adobe_Aikis]

Same issue and same thoughts too!

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Still not fixed in the last 22.1.1 update. It's a retoucher's nightmare. I thought there would be a lot more people complaining!

[Mark-Hazeldine]

*giannis_ch I did a couple of things that "fixed" it, at least for a while. 1) Reduced number of history states from 50 to 20, reduced cache levels from 4 to 2. Reduced tile size from largest to smallest. Did Windows updates and rebooted (this made the biggest difference).

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Just download CC 2019 ! Work Much better without lags...!

Are you sure THAT is the solution?
