Photoshop CC 2018 Brush lag

+1 .  Random. Brushes and some tools and some cursor freeze ending in wrong tool being selected from the toolbar.  Mouse and Intuos Pro with Grip pen.  I got rid of Logitech Options software for my MX Master mouse - this seems to have helped though mouse cursor still occasionally jerky in use.  Are the new flyout tool videos causing any problems?  My drivers and W10 Pro (1709) up to date. 32Gbs ram and all progs and data on SSDs.

Downloaded PS CC 2018 yesterday. And it is SLOW. Brushes lag, stamping lags, retouching sucks.

What have you done.
Just renamed this settings to old.

Lets see what happens.

I have the same issue with the healing brush, although currently the spot healing brush appears unaffected.  The lag is causing significant delays in processing images for customers, so I'm not impressed.

I went to try the folder rename trick suggested above, however I do not have that folder on my PC - there appears to be no \appdata\ folder where it is supposed to be.  I have a standard installation on Win7, so not sure where it may have gone.

A couple of other issues too - surely it should be possible to port over major third party filters during an install these days, why oh why do we have to manually reinstall them everytime there is a version update.

Since installation of cc2018 when I open the program I get a 'missing dll' error message which vanishes after three clicks.  Probably fixable with a re-install - if I can face having to do it all again!

Same here, Spot Healing Brush tool very very laggy. Imppossbile to work in this conditions. All previous suggested "solutions" solved nothing. No effect at all, still laggy

Has anyone had an issue with tools changing while using the hand tool to scroll around a document? I am an illustrator, and use the brush tool constantly. My shortcut to scroll around the document is to use the space bar (hand tool), while the brush is still selected. However, now in CC 2018 when I get to my desired location within the document and release the space bar, my tool switches to the tool I used prior to using the brush tool. For example, when using the brush tool I move around with the hand tool, and then it switches to something like the lasso tool for no good reason. Incredibly frustrating to say the least.

Just Set the Smoothing to 0% it works

Same here! The brush is very laggy. I hope they'll fix this soon. Also need they to fix the iMac 4K black screen flickering too! Anyway I quit using Photoshop about 10 months ago and use other program instead.

Hello,

Could you please try to reset the preferences of the application ?

All you got to do is rename the "Adobe Photoshop CC 2018 Settings" folder in your machine

You can find it

-on Mac : ~/library/preferences/Adobe Photoshop CC 2018 Settings

-on Windows : C:\users\<your name>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2018\Adobe Photoshop CC 2018 Settings

Rename it by adding the word "old" for example

Hope it helps!

I'm also having this problem, its made my use of photoshop incredibly frustrating and time consuming. They better fix this soon.

I also have an issue where my brush gets stuck using the Spot Healing Brush Tool, both using the Waecom and mouse.

See attached picture, it joins one click to another and creates a line that it heals. The only way to stop it doing this is to put a 3-4 second gap in-between clicks. Its turned a 1 minute job removing spots into a 10 minute image edit. Where can I send the bill Adobe for my lost time?

I'm also having an issue with a pink straight line trailing under my cursor when I use my brush. How do I turn this off?
