A slight lag when using the paintbrush tool

[Wobbleshot]

When using the paintbrush tool in Photoshop, I find there is a slight lag in the paint filling the space the time trying to fill, is there a way of speeding up the paintbrush to so you don't get the lag? In old versions of Photoshop, the paint used to fill in the area as you were using the paintbrush and felt very natural.

Hi @Wobbleshot ,

Can you give us the specs of your computer? Also screenshot your paintbrush settings that you are having trouble with. Did you upgrade photoshop recently and are seeing this lag?

Sonoma 14.6.1 Yep updated Photoshop (25.12.0) and think my settings were different on my old computer. Just takes a while to find what works!

@Wobbleshot one thing to check is the brush smoothing setting

Hi, Thank you for your comment it solved the problem, it was the smoothing function.
