Performance problems in Photoshop 25.1 / MacOS Sonoma

Hey there,

 

I am experiencing very significant performance issues with Photoshop already in an empty document. "Animated Zoom" is very laggy and dragging layers in the layer editor also are very delayed and laggy.

Maybe someone else is experiencing same issues?

My current system in following:

MacPro 2019 / Xeon 28Core 2,5Ghz / 256 GB RAM / Radeon Pro Vega II 32 GB / Photoshop is on 25.1. / MacOS Sonoma 14.1 

Thanks for checking.

    How much RAM and spare hard disk capacity do you have?

    Have you tried resetting the Photoshop preferences back to the factory defaults?

    Hey all,

     

    since no one ever replied here: this is still current. Photoshop 2024 (25.4.0) is not usable for me. Everything is lagging. Empty documents, dragging layers, or scrolling through color swatches - it is ridicolously lagging. Only the Beta seems very fluent and my only way to get work done. How is this possible?
    Any help or comment from dev-side is welcome.

    Thx

    "Sufficient" seems vague – do you really have 256GB of RAM?


    Beside that I know what the specs are: Yes. Please see the attached screenshot. Have you seen the video in the former posts here? That demonstrates (hopefully) whats going on.

    Okay, so since I could not find any solution and working with this version is seriously painful, I had to swtich to PS Beta.
    I made a quick screencap and I hope you can see the laggy performance. It is ridiculously laggy compared to the Beta.

    Dragging in the layer editor is laggy

    Dragging objects in viewport is laggy

    Writing text is laggy

    Zooming in or out is laggy. And there are way more things that are laggy too.

    I just can't work with this version. 
    But please see and try for yourself. I'd appreciate any reaction from Adobe.

    Thanks.
