Brush Lag

Hi friends,

Experiencing brush lag in Photoshop CC 2019. I primarily use Kyle's Wet Gouache and Kyle's Ultimate inking thick n' thin. Lag is reduced for the gouache when I remove scattering and for the ink when I stick to a smaller brush size. But these aren't solutions. Important to note I'm not a computer wiz and I have a very old computer: Macbook Pro 2010; Graphics processor is NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB; and I have than less 512MB of vRAM, so this could be the issue but not sure.

Solutions I've tried that do not fix the Lag/Delay:

-Turning off smoothing

-Lowering/Increasing the spacing of a brush

-Changing drawing to basic mode

-Increasing/Decreasing Memory usage

-Lowering Cache Levels, Cache Tile Size, or History States

-Turning off rulers

-Deselecting 'Use Graphics Processor'

And finally here's the giant list of my system info that could be helpful to someone who know how to interpret it, because I sure don't:

Your video card for sure is pretty old. I also have a Mac Book Pro 2010, and the processor isn't up to snuff either. not sure how much RAM you have, but my guess is it could use more of that as well. If it has only the basic 4 gig those came with, its definitely not enough. 16 is the minimum I would want in a computer for the new software, preferably 32.

Some people are experiencing some lag with brushes, but not the majority nor is it too bad from what it seems. My guess is your computer is rather old and isn't really to the level that the newest version of photoshop needs.

Thanks for the quick reply Daniel! Do you have an idea of a specific part of my computer that not up to snuff for Photoshop to perform well? I just want to know what to look for when I shop for a new machine.

this is age old question. not a day passes without question as "why does my brush stroke lag"

myself has same problems, more with mixer brush when sample all layers is turned ON

i am come to believe that photoshop brush lag is due to engineering, and that is just way it is.

fastest video card never fixes this problem, all kinds of users come in and complain of brush lag even though they have fastest video card of 2019.

much RAM also fixes problem not,  users have 64 GB and more and still problem persists. Fastest processor and problem is still there, SSD drives and problem is still there and so on.

yet we have other softwares like Krita etc. that do not have brush lags like photoshop, and many of these great programs are free.

year is 2019 and still brush lag is close to #1 major problem i am see on daily basis in our forums. Not acceptable.

do not fall into same trap that others have done so, like forking out thousands of dollars on hardware that you think may solve photshop performance problems, because most of the time the high-end hardware does no difference. Photoshop seems to "max out" at certain thresholds and any hardware improvements above acceptable level do not make difference. modest hardwares like 32GB of ram, a simple SSD drive and yes even an older 2GB video ard will suffice if you are using photoshop simply. More advanced users who demand more out of photoshop will see improvements with upgraded hardware but by no means does this mean you need to spend outrageous sums of money for top of line things, as simply photoshop will not take advantage of it past a certain threshold as mentioned above and you will waste your dollars.

I am honestly believing problem is due to programming and the way Adobe is engineering this product.

If you have your brush or erasure selected, the smoothing is on the top: 'Opacity - flow - smoothing'

Screenshot 2022-05-17 at 10.52.57.png

using less 'smoothing' makes your brush more natural but never perfect.
