Hello there, SAME problem here.....installed yosemite and first of all, the hand tool is a little lag....I mean, no soft panning....but I can live somehow with that..... the really messy problem is that, when I use any tool or perform any action, (zoom, rotate, whatever), sometimes photoshop catch it instantaneously, and some other times it has a little BUT ANNOYING lag just at the moment you use it... being the most frustrating situation with the brush....sometimes I make a stroke and is ok and when I make the next stroke, photoshop draw the line like, half a second later...which is FRUSTRATING AS HELL (sorry I have spent all evening trying to solve the issue so I am frustrated), but the most weird thing is that sometimes JUST sometimes when I open photoshop...suddenly the problem disappears and everything is soft and perfect (even the hand/ panning tool)....but after working for some hours the problem randomly appears again....I thought it was the driver ....but no i think is not.... I tried downloading the old one and stuff but I think is a problem of photoshop and yosemite .....because I just reinstalled photoshop cc2014....and voila the problem disappeared again.....but I am 100% sure that, randomly, in the next days it will appear again.... so my provisional solution for now is just reinstalling the software.....and pray ...I guess.

I read that the adobe guys say that "yosemite and adobe cc stuff are compatible and no problems" well I think that, for them, the fact that the software just run on yosemite is reason enough to say is "ok" but those little "details" and little "lags" make the whole experience of working just....PAIN.....

my machine is a 15 inch retina with 16 gb of ram so WHY THIS IS THIS HAPPENING!!!!!!

thank you

The plugin's partially resolved my problem (same as yours); however, it remains FAR LESS THAN OPTIMAL. Adobe, just like our government, has remained strangely silent on this issue which means that they just don't have a clue.

Very disappointing... when they ever get around to resolution, I'm sure it will be Apple's fault.

We are still working with Apple to solve all the issues introduced in MacOS 10.10.

Experiencing the exact same problem. Upgraded to Yosemite two days ago and have been experiencing lag when drawing in PS CC ever since. I have a brand new Mac Mini and work on a Cintiq 24HD. Tried installing the older wacom driver but no luck. Filevault is off. Changed the drawing mode to basic but that doesn't help either. I'm a storyboard artist and these are my most important tools, am not able to work at all right now. Don't know what to do, praying somebody will come thru with an update soon...

Josh:

Try installing the plugin that M Shaw suggested earlier... worked great for me (different Wacom drivers had no effect on my PS CS6 app, but the plugin did the trick.

Per M Shaw: install the plugin on this page Menus, shortcuts, Lasso tool, or Photoshop stop working when using a Wacom tablet | Mac OS

Thanks for the link Peter, I just installed the plugin but unfortunately that doesn't seem to change anything.

Any other advice will be very much appreciated.

here's a couple of things to try

install the plugin on this page Menus, shortcuts, Lasso tool, or Photoshop stop working when using a Wacom tablet | Mac OS

downgrade your Wacom driver to

DRIVER 6.38-2

Legacy Drivers | Wacom

Seems to be working fine, too, with latest Wacom driver & Yosemite!

Years of frustration! All gone (I think!)

Frustration alleviation was short-lived. Just got a new iMac loaded 2/32G ram, 4GH processor, speedy video, etc, inc. 1T SSd... problem came back; just turned off rulers, and VOILA!

I think Adobe ought to be ashamed of themselves regarding their ineptness at resolving this long-standing issue.

One solution might be for users to try out OnOne Software's Perfect Photo Suite 9 in demo mode. Seems to be an excellent alternative to Photoshop IF photo's are your main area of interest. Has most of PS's capabilities and a much more intuitive interface as well.

I have same problem with CS 6 both w/Yosemite as well as ever since Mavericks.

A few users have said that turning off FileVault solved the lag issues.

So far we have not seen any lag issues in our testing, but there could also be additional OS bugs that are machine/configuration specific.

I have updated my mac pro as well and got lag, filevault is off.

I had some lag before even on maverics but not so much as now. Currently I have so much lag I can't work...

My machine:

6-core, 3,5GHz

32GB RAM

2x D500

512GB SSD

I thought this machine will be good enough for painting with photoshop, but boy I was wrong... This is slowly getting my nerves up and I'm really pissed now, because all I hear from companies that are involved into all this always says: it's not our fault, write there and there and hope and pray for some magic wand solution.

This photoshop bug is probably very old, I wrote about it before, I even bought new computer with hopes to normally work on it, but nothing really changed. With every update we get it's worse and worse until now when became useless.

I don't even know why brush tools are not GPU accelerated in photoshop (and majority of other stuff as well, not only some photograph filters!). Is it so hard to rewrite code to run with openCL or it just isn't profitable enough for Adobe to do it? Or you have some quarrel with Apple and you don't want to work with them?

Also, some users are reporting that things are much better when using a mouse instead of a trackpad or tablet on MacOS 10.10.

Please do make sure you let Apple know about these problems introduced in MacOS 10.10, so they can get the information they need to fix the problems introduced in MacOS 10.10.
