Question

Custom shape tool is very slow

Hello everyone,

I cant seem to use my custom shape tool at all anymore. It was working fine for a few shapes I had made on the same project, but then later it has come to a point where it constantly lags and loads and is basically unusable. Everything else on photoshop runs smooth for me except crafting custom shapes, which is a problem since most of my environment based graphics use custom shapes.

Any tips?

Hi davescm,

Just tried this, unfortunately it didn't help. Thanks for the response though.

Hi
Have you got a lot of these loaded at once?

It may be worth saving them - then just loading the defaults and seeing if the tool speeds up.

If it does , try reloading and saving your custom shapes into shape sets (using the Preset Manager)  and only loading the sets required. By doing that you may also find if there is an "offending" set of shapes causing the slow down.
