By 2023 Photoshop lag will be intolerable

If you use photoshop everyday like I do, you know that it's getting slower and slower every day and with every update. By mid 2023 I predict the lag to reach a point where it is so slow it will actually start going backwards. Your work will actually be undone as you do it.

I've been on calls with adobe tech support, who mostly sounded confused and befuddled by the program's lack of performance. Perhaps if I had a $40,000 computer capable of running this program, I'd have better luck, but alas that’s outside my budget. Even with an absolute beast of a computer, verified by an adobe technician as such, I'm hopeless working with my hands tied behind my back due to poor software performance.

Is this really what it's come to, switching to Gimp?

I'm talking about small files (20 layers, 1000px width/height). I work with much larger files usually. And I monitor the RAM usage in the task manager. That's not the issue. It's a sheer performance problem.

And yes, I have a Ryzen. But not a slow one. No other program struggles with that. If Adobe has an issue with Ryzen CPU's they should take a break from sky-substitution nonsense and make this priority one.

Well, then, help the engineers figure this out. It's not like they're ignoring this, they really want to know what's going on. But they need reproducible cases. Post in Bugs and include Help > System Info.

To be clear, not every Ryzen system has issues. But Ryzen seems to have a disproportionately high share of problems.

I'm also struggling with the performance sometimes. Mainly with my larger files where I use a lot of layers with smart objects and layer effects. Especially layer effects slow the system down a lot - no matter how many RAM you've got or how good your GPU is. Sometimes is goes as far as it taking seconds for a popup window to appear and a second to move from one menu entry to the next. It seems as if not a lot of time is spent on performance inprovements and instead more and more stuff is piled up in the program.

Yes, Bojan has a crucial point here. The most common cause of Photoshop slowdowns is diminishing free space for the scratch disk. If you have less than 100 GB free you should start watching it. If you have less than 50, you're in trouble. If you have less than 20, it's an emergency situation that requires immediate action.

Andreas has a performance issue as does the OP; no question. The problem is others can't replicate it (in one case, even with a provided test document):

The initial conclusion is this MUST be Photoshops fault when the evidence is is that isn't a simple conclusion to produce.

A solution will take more than dismissing this as simple a Photoshop issue alone.

That's not entirely true. I myself replicated the issue on my second PC today. Also Windows 10, but different GPU (GTX 780 Ti). It's a very clean PC that I usually only use for one task. I installed Photoshop completely new. It's basically the only program up there except for Blender. So no plugins, no extension, no fonts, no brushes. As basic as it gets.

No performance problems with Photoshop here too, and I’m on a common laptop. If you’ve already done a lot of troubleshooting than you’ve probably already gone through a lot of the basics, but I’m going to throw this out there just in case: On some computers, even fast recent ones, what has caused significant slowdowns is anti-malware software scanning the application code. If this applies to you, add Photoshop to the exclusion list.

(I wouldn’t switch to GIMP as it is now…it’s much too far behind Photoshop in capabilities)

Thats your experience not the fact. I do not have same experience nor $40.000 computer. Currently I am running system with Ryzen 5 5600G, 32 GB RAM without dedicated GPU. It runs fast and smooth with integrated graphics card and CPU priced around $120 on US market. Motherboard is A320M-K released in early 2017.

Since you tagged everything - It would be helpful to narrow down some details.

Can you go to Photoshop Help Menu/System Info and copy/paste the details here?

It will help us try to find a resolution for you.

I do not know that because it isn't the case for me.

If your question to the volunteer users here that answer question is, should you switch to Gimp, well, that's not the kind of question we answer here. The forums are designed to troubleshoot Adobe software issues.

So here's where to go first:
