Path Blur super slow

[hectorp22577734]

Soo I'm applying a path blurr to a photo on an mbp M1 Pro 12.1 and my CPU is at 90% and it is like a snail on the status bar ( Activity monitor sometimes shows photoshop 23.1 not responding) like this is killing me how slow this is processing.. did not have this issue before updating.. any suggestions? TIA!!

Hi there,

Sorry about the trouble experienced with Photoshop. What is the file size that you are working on? Do you see that CPU is at 90% when you launch it or just while using path blur?

You can try optimizing the preferences for Photoshop using the steps here: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/optimize-photoshop-cc-performance.html

If the issue persists, you can try to reset the preferences of Photoshop using the steps mentioned here: https://adobe.ly/2Qzc0K3

Please backup your settings before resetting the preferences. You can check: https://adobe.ly/2vNz6FG

Let us know how it goes!

Regards,

Ranjisha

It happens when working in the path blur only.. I will try these suggestions next and see how it goes
