I don' know if this will help anyone but i had a similar issue, my scrubby zoom being greyed out and all, looked at a whole bunch of these conversations, tried all the graphics processor advanced settings thing and nothing worked I couldnt find a solution that worked online anywhere, but I fiddled around and figured this out.

If its greyed out and nothing else works it could be your GPU, either its not powerful enough or your dumb computer is using the weaker GPU for your cintiq or whatever scree

Thanks for the solution. But is there a better way so that I can use "Advanced" mode, not limited by "Basic"?

Hello,

 

I know this is an old thread but my photoshop updated on the 29th of August 2022 and since the update my scrubby zoom has been disabled and greyed out. I tried this method but this is all I see in my advanced settings.Screenshot (932).png

Hi Sylvia,

If your video card doesn't support it, it will be greyed out.

It was working fine last week! I updated Photoshop and suddenly it didn't work. When I went back to earlier versions it still was greyed out.

I don't think this problem has actually been solved. Mine was also working fine until suddenly it stopped.

I think it has to do with RAM intensive files. One of my PSDs allows scrubby zoom, but another doesn't.

I'm not keen on the consistency of this at all. As it's not immediately obvious as to which method you're meant to use on a per-file basis?

Crazy. It's like the new and completely inconsistent scale tool.

Just tried this and it works! As someone that learned Photoshop with Scrubby Zoom enabled this is a life saver when it happens to turn off every now and then.

This has been a long recurring problem for me, and the problem has not been sufficiently solved. Some things I have noticed. Sometimes when using lightroom CC classic and photoshop at the same time a lot of ram is used up photoshop turns off some of their features to still function properly. Turn off lightroom restart photoshop scrubby zoom is back. The 'more complicated problem' sometimes, when updates for my Nvidia graphics cards are installed it dramatically changes the screen experience and I have to reset my dull monitors and other settings, and scrubby zoom is unavailable till either adobe updates photoshop or Nvidia updates the graphics cards or I find a solution first. Best thing for me is to get used to not using scrubby.

Update... I have ,physically on the back of my computer, put both monitors on one Nvidia graphics card, leaving the other card just for adobe stuff. Scrubby Zoom is back! and Photoshop is running smoother and faster.

If its greyed out and nothing else works it could be your GPU, either its not powerful enough or your dumb computer is using the weaker GPU for your cintiq or whatever screen tablet you're using like mine was, so go to display settings (windows 10 btw) and then under the multiple displays section, under graphics settings, select classic app>browse>find where photoshop.exe is stored> select> select high performance>restart computer, this fixed it for me, hope it helps someone else if they're having the same issue I was!
