    Hi Marc,

    We will need more information if we're to help you out. Here are a few points to start with:

    1. What version of Photoshop are you using, exactly (like 19.0.1)?

    2. What OS version of High Sierra (like 10.13.3)?

    3. You mention a Wacom tablet, are your drivers updated? What version?

    Now, about the specifics of the brush lag problem:

    4. What is the dimension, in pixels, of the image you have?

    5. What is the brush size? Are you using a regular brush, a mixer brush, an erodible tip?

    6. Does the lag occur on a brand new image, small size (i.e. default Photoshop size) with a small ordinary brush tip?

    If you're working with a very large image, and/or your brush size is very large, lagging will be a problem for sure.

      1. The version is 19.1.0

      2. High Sierra version 10.13.2

      3. Yes, the last version:  WacomTablet_6.3.27-2.dmg

      4. 248 x 343 pixels. In fact any dimension

      5. Any brush size. Although the pencil works well. Regular brush. I have a video, where can I send it?

      6. Yes the lag occur on a brand new image, on default Photoshop size, any Origen and image size with any brush.

      No, no I don't use a big brush size or very large image... I don't know why.

      Thanks.

        If that doesn't work, I would consider resetting Photoshop preferences to the default under Photoshop Preferences > General > Reset Preferences on Quit

        This worked for me!!!


        I had the exact same problem on iMac 2017 with Catalina 10.15.6 and Photoshop 21.2.2
        The only thing which helped was resetting the preferences.
