Just downloaded Photoshop 2024 today. When entering the Liquify filter, the mouse moves on its own, jumping all over the place. This makes the Liquify filter unusable. Anyone else seeing this?
None of the suggestions below worked for me. Here's what did: First, I confirmed my iMac met all system requirements for the current version of Photoshop. Then made changes in Library: a customer support representative helped me modify permissions to specific PS folders. Then in Preferences created new, default settings for PS: (1) renamed Adobe Photoshop 2024 Settings folder to something else and set it aside, then (2) relaunched PS which forces it to create a new settings folder. (3) Opened a new an image in PS to test the Liquify filter tool and it worked fine with full control of the cursor and all functions in that panel. (4) Then I quit PS and one at a time added back settings for certain things important for me to retain (e.g. swatches, styles, brushes) by swapping out the new one for the old one I had set aside. Relaunched PS and tested to see if Liquify still works. All went fine until I put my old brushes back. Apparently some brushes were either corrupt or incompatible with PS 2024 and in order for it to work properly I had to discard my old brushes setting and keep the new one that only had the PS default set, and will have to rebuild my collection as I go.
The liquify tool randomly becomes almost unusable. Sometimes its fine and other times it lags and floats around my screen. I use MacBook Pro M1, with OS Sonoma 14.3.1. I hoped upgrading to the newest version of PS (v25.5.1) would reslove this but it hasn't. I just upgraded, did a restart, no other applications are running except LR and its still happening.
There has to be direct, straightforward solution to this issue. Yet this error has continued for over a year. I am working on a Mac Pro 2019 with an Intel Processor/ PS 2024. When attempting to use the PS Liquify tool the sensation is somewhaere between an out of date firmware throwing a spanner in the works (there are no out of date firmware on my computer), and trying to steady a drunken sailor.
Adobe, perhaps you would like to reimburse - proportionally to the inconvenienece this software has created - each customer who has subscribed to your cloud over the past year?
I first discoverd this issue as soon as I upgraded my MacMini to Sonoma, I thought it will be fixed later at that time. I can't believe that it hasn't been fixed yet. It's almost a year.
Therefore, I still keep my laptop under macOS Ventura,it works fine with PS 25.2.
One work around I discovered recently was that was two monitors, I can bring the liquify window over to the other monitor and proceed. It works more often than not. And then jump back to the apple monitor, iMac. Sometimes I get the same issue still. But it usually works and has helped me in this long interim.
A work around that I've been using is command+shift+x to open liquify. Mine works fine that way but jumps everywhere when I choose liquify from the drop down.
Wow, this has been an issue for a while. I wonder if it is with the M chip machines. Mine's a Mac Studio M1 Max 32gb, Sonoma 14.4.1. It is SO ANNOYING. I thought it might have been my Wacom tablet but it doesn't matter what I do. Hoping for a solution.
