Fix the bug in the latest version of Photoshop where holding down Alt to use the eyedropper while using the brush tool causes lag or glitches.
[Profanity removed by moderator]
I’m so freaking annoyed. The latest versions of Photoshop are ridiculously slow and laggy. When I’m using the brush tool and hold down Alt for the eyedropper, it’s so damn sluggish that painting is impossible. I paid for this, and it’s infuriating. Why the hell is it so slow? When I updated this time, I checked “remove previous versions,” so the newest version 27 got installed and Photoshop 24 got deleted. Version 24 didn’t have this eyedropper issue, so I was using that — but now I can’t even find a way to download it again! Adobe, seriously, just fix the [cursing removed] eyedropper lag or whatever’s making it stutter. This is so freaking frustrating.
Follow these two sets of steps:
1 - Your machine has two GPUs. The driver for both of the devices are 12 & 9 months old. Please follow the steps here to update the GPU drivers & then follow step 6 in the content here to configure the default GPU for Photoshop: https://adobe.ly/49YQSCI
2 - Go to the location of the preference folder below and rename it to backup.

Hey, @BokSungah. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I'll move this post to discussions. I'll need more info to help you figure this out. Please share the system info from Photoshop Help > System info > Copy and paste into a text document > upload and attach here.
Are you using any stylus input or just the regular mouse and keyboard?
In this case, you can begin by resetting the Brush tool itself. Right-click on the Brush Tool icon in the Toolbar menu and select Reset Tool.
Let me know how it goes.
Thanks!

Follow these two sets of steps:
1 - Your machine has two GPUs. The driver for both of the devices are 12 & 9 months old. Please follow the steps here to update the GPU drivers & then follow step 6 in the content here to configure the default GPU for Photoshop: https://adobe.ly/49YQSCI
2 - Go to the location of the preference folder below and rename it to backup.
Let me know how it goes. Thanks!

Thank you. @Sameer K
After following the steps you provided, Photoshop did get slightly faster. However, the Eyedropper tool is still slow compared to my working speed — sometimes it doesn’t pick up colors right away and lags momentarily.
I was using Photoshop version 24 from the previous version list, and it worked perfectly fine without any lag. I have no idea what’s wrong with version 26. For now, I’d like to reinstall Photoshop version 24 until this issue is resolved.
When I installed the latest version, I accidentally left the “Remove old versions” option checked, so version 24 was deleted. Could you tell me how to reinstall the latest build of Photoshop version 24?

Thank you for the updates, and I apologize for the delay. If you still need Photoshop 2024, you can check the list for Other versions under Photoshop in the Creative Cloud desktop app.
It may not be available for download as we provide installers for the Current versions and the last year's final releases only.
Thanks!

With this attitude you will definetly not get help from the community experts in this forum. [abuse removed] Really need to show respect for others if you want assistance. If it happens again I would recommend they remove you from the forum.
