Extreme lag after new update to PS 2022

It seems after the new update to 2022 my program is running annoyingly slow. My computer is more than capable of handeling large file sizes. Program load times have increased, and now my files are taking more than 10 seconds to load. When I plant a pen point to make a shape I have to wait forever until I can plant a new one. Is this a new issues, should I roll back PS to an earlier version?

I will throw my 2 cents worth in. I find Photoshop 23.2.0.277 slower than 22.5.6.749 as well. I keep both versions (and the associated versions of Bridge) installed. Where I first noticed the difference was in printing. With verions 23.2 interaction between Ps and the Canon print driver takes 30 to 40 seconds, or longer. With version 22.5 this is more like 5 to 10 seconds. I have compared with the exact same image file on bother versions. But I can notice it is sluggish in other areas as well. For me, that's enough to saty with version 22.5 for now.

PS I am on Windows 10, and I do not have a GSync monitor, but I do have an NVIDIA graphics card.

3 months pass - its not solved. Still lags for a second just after draging layers.

Its on high end pc - i7-12700k/32gb/2080ti

Shame on you, Adobe.

Hi, have you tried recreating preferences? Or logging as a new user?

Resetting prefs achieved nothing for me - so far the only advice I have is "Disable Native Canvas" if you want to work above 50%. I believe that PS renders 8-bit proxies below 50% zoom, so perhaps the Native Canvas code is b0rked in 16 bit?

Would appreciate if anyone could check if this improves things for them?

I still have to have "Native Canvas" disabled to make the program usable, but presently at least with that disabled I can work.

Adobe please inform us to why you allow this to continulaly happen. We dont want you to appologize and ask all of us professionals if our basic settings and systems are setup correct. Assume that we as professionals know how to do these basic things and lets settle on your software is continually getting worse and worse and offering us solutions to obvious issues is what we need if we are to continue using your software

It's simple - lack of competition plus a subscription sales model.
When you have subscription products and you're also a monopolist, you don't need to care about quality. Your only product will be bought anyway.

Same here on an Imac Pro - before this update I could handle anything in photoshop. Now everything is delayed - the file takes forever to save as well. This is the worst ps update in a long time for performance - borderline unusable.

Just chipping in to say I've rolled back, noticed that there was horrible lag on brush smoothing and, crucially, the Info Panel no longer updates in realtime, only when my cursor stops. This makes image analysis completely impossible.

Every release seems to get worse and worse - You'd think a 4Ghz i9 with 64Gb RAM would have no problem, but here we are.

PS info here: https://pastebin.com/ypDYZhat

Monitor doesn't have GSync, even if it did, games that require a mountain more CPU and GPU than photoshop manage to run at 120fps with it enabled 😉

Addendum:

I thought I'd measure CPU utilisation when just waving a brush around the canvas without drawing anything, just moving the cursor. i9 9900K @ 3.6Ghz, 64Gb RAM

23.0.1- 12.1% Info panel unusable

22.5.3 - 6.2% Info panel near-realtime

22.0.0 - 6% Info panel realtime

The info panel still isn't realtime in 22.5.3 but the lag is sufferable. In 23.0.1 its unsuable. Interestingly in 22.0.0 the CPU utilisation remains the same/similar but the figures in the info panel update in realtime.

Adobe, every release gets worse, literally. I've been using this software forever, training people in it and recommending it. It's becomming impossible both to use and to recommend.

Sounds like you have G-Sync enabled. Disable it: https://community.adobe.com/t5/camera-raw-bugs/p-cursor-stuttering-amp-screen-flickering-in-photoshop-on-high-refresh-rate-g-sync-monitors/idi-p/12239947

I do not have a g-sync compatible monitor, I did however roll back my PS version to 22.4.3 and that resolved the issue. So whatever the adobe programmers changed from that version that causes this needs to be tracked down and remedied, I'm seeing a host of problems on this forum related to flickering and lag in this update.

@J453 @Mohit Goyal did you see the info referencing the info panel and native canvas?

@Denyerpro there is a 23.1 update, uncheck native, and run the update to check if you were hit by one of the fixed issues.

Thanks @PECourtejoie , I've applied the 23.1 update:

- With native canvas ENABLED, native rulers ENABLED: CPU 10% simply moving the cursor. Info panel lagged. Performance pretty awful. Menus still glitchy and laggy.

- With native canvas ENABLED, native rulers DISABLED: CPU 10% simply moving the cursor. Info panel lagged. Performance pretty awful. Menus still glitchy and laggy.

- With native canvas DISABLED, performance is improved, but is still inferior to 22.5.4 in all metrics.

Are you able to offer any insight into why the canvas engine is being overhauled? Fortunately CC allows differing versions installed simultaneously - I'll be sitting on CS6 / CC22.5.4 until the next patch and comparing performance to these two versions.
