Photoshop Interface Lag with Huion Drawing Tablet

Hello, I am using a Huion Inspiroy WH1409 V2 with Photoshop CS6 on my Mac 10.12.6 and I'm still struggling to get it working optimally. One of the more severe problems I've notice is that the Photoshop Menus and certain interfaces cause extreme lag when using the Huion pen to 'click' on things instead of my mouse. For example, if I click to set the foreground color, after it brings me up my gradient of color to eyedrop, it will freeze within the window for up to a minute. However, if I use my mouse instead, I can click away with immediate response. Similar results when I use the pen to navigate anything that opens its own 'sub window' within photoshop. Has anyone else been having this problem? I am using the current drivers for the tablet and have installed the 'WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin1_0_6' for photoshop when I was having terrible brush lag. Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot!

Hi Whitecrowjack,

Is your graphics card up to date? One way to check if the GPU is at fault for the lag is to temporarily turn off its use in Photoshop. I'm not 100% sure with CS6, but I believe you can find the toggle under Photoshop > Preferences > Performance > Use Graphics Processor. Restart Photoshop and try using your pen to click. If it solved the problem, check for an update of your graphics card. After updating, don't forget to re-check "Use Graphics Processor".

Some people have also had success simply bypassing GPU issues by going to Photoshop > Preferences > Camera Raw and unchecking "Use Graphics Processor" there. Turning it off in that place rather than for Photoshop as a whole seems to be less invasive.

Let us know if that helps or if you need further assistance.

Hello, sadly this had no effect on the problem. My graphics card is a Intel Iris Pro Graphics 6200 1536 MB graphics.

This is such a tedious problem.

Yes, it sounds very frustrating! You might try the suggestions in this discussion thread—Brush Lag on MacOS High Sierra— including resetting your Photoshop preferences. They're troubleshooting a Wacom rather than a Huion tablet, but it's worth trying the fixes anyway.
