Photoshop 22.5 : Still huge lag while using hue/saturation sliders on Windows 10

Hi, I'm on windows 10 and I have both photoshop 21.0.3 and 22.5 on my computer and I can report a big lag in the hue/saturation sliders in 22.5 (when it's perfectly fine in 21.0.3). There's also a lag for "color replacement" and "brightness/contrast" sliders (the lag is a bit less important for "color replacement" though still sensible). To be clear I drag the cursor of the mouse/pen along the slider and the arrow of the slider is lagging way behind, and then it catches up without having crossed the remaining length of the slider.
Those issues happen both with the mouse or a cintiq pen. The lags are more important if the resolution or the size of the image increases.
It's very very annoying. Please please please fix this. I don't have a very fancy use of photoshop but those are basic functions and I'm unable to work with that. I still have to use a version that is now more than a year old while still paying for updates...

So this lag seems to be fixed in the last updtae but now opening a file is way slower ??

That hasn't been my experience - still seems to be not great lag-wise, though usable with Technology Preview > Disable Native Canvas ticked, but really terrible with default preference. Opens at the same rate as before - but my machines use all NVME for working and cache so might be hard to spot.

Finally, it seems the last update did the trick. The problem seems solved with the May 2022 version... Can those who experienced the same issue check if it works for them ?

An improvement. Not back to pre-21.0.3 but probably the best its been since. Still have to have native canvas disabled - with it enabled (unticked in technology previews) they're still unusable.

My bad, indeed it's faster than before but still slower than 21.0.3.

Hue/Saturation adjustments

I have the same problem, Make an adjustment using Hue/Saturation - come back in an hour. Workflow is killed. 

 

  • Hardware - Latest Macbook pro Max 32GB
  • Photoshop version - 23.2.1 
  • File size is large - 3.2GB PSB format.

This hue/saturation lag bug is horrible and totally killing my workflow.

 

I wish I could at least downgrade to 21.0.3 again to be able to work with this software. But Creative Cloud doesn't let me, it is only giving me versions that are already broken.

Please see this discussions https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-bugs/p-slow-curves-adjustment-layer-with-zoom-tool-selected/idc-p/12758714/page/4 it is probably same bug (it's not hue saturation, it's any adjustement layer), and people from Adobe replied there

They replied but apparently the problem remains. Per chance, I retained a copy from photoshop 21.0.3 and stay with it...

Yeah it sounds all related to this change in use of GPU from Photoshop 22 going forward. I went through a bunch of technicians myself (had even a phonecall with someone from Adobe in California although I'm in France) and the diagnosis was just "your graphic card isn't powerful enough". And now I see that it wasn't the problem.
I'm sticking to photoshop 2020 for now.

Yes, they are probably trained to help by recommending new card or new drivers.

 

Could you tell me how are you using PS 2020? It dissapeared from my system after PS 2022 was released, you were able to make it stay somehow?

same here even that i have a very strong machine
its really silly how many times we need to tell adobe developers about this 
paying to suffer while there is some free products provide better experience

Hi, can I ask you what graphic card do you have ? I had a photoshop technician look at my problem and his conclusion was that I should change my graphic card. I have an NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1060 with 3GB of ram... So I thought of changing for a more recent model but if you still have the same problem with a more advanced graphic card, maybe that's not the problem.

@nikunj.m 
Also since my last post with my configuration, I moved to windows 10 21H1 and installed the latest version of the nvidia studio driver and it's still lagging.
