Type layer slows down whole photoshop - Selecting, Transforming and scrolling fonts

[funkis.studio]

This topic was discussed in 2017. We are i almost 2022 and still there is no fix for that. Creating any text layer slows down whole program. Searching for fonts through list is a tragedy. Selecting text layer is lagging
Adobe please do something with that.

1. Version 23.0 - but like i said it's been over 3 years...
2. Windows 10
3. Create a text layer, paste some text (better more than less) in to it.
4. Expected result: i'd like to work with the same speed as always. Actual result: Everything is lagging.

If you look earlier in this thread, I posted a video that shows the huge difference in how the fonts behave and lag...

[Abambo]

I've seen that. However, that does not happen on my side.

What resolution(s) are you running?

[Abambo]

4k or 2k. Both work fine.

Has everyone posting here followed these troubleshooting steps?

[ removed by moderator], i cant find nothing to solve this, and its really anoying. I just cant work like this. PLSSSSS, someone solve?

(photoshop totally lagging on text free transform)

It is annoying.  I resorted to just making my text layers in Illustrator and copy/pasting into Photoshop.

Really, Photoshop would do well to treat the fonts as vectors until if/when applied as a raster layer.  It's frustrating for sure.  The performance in Photoshop is extremely slow with fonts.  I don't understand why they can't remedy this fairly easily.  Perhaps there is a good reason but I have yet to come across it.

Adobe please fix!

Dude, Adobe don't givepls [cursing removed by moderator] about it. They only focus on AI features forgetting about basics. Photoshop is colossus with feet of clay. I wish someone create "figma for raster image". Affinity is ok, but just ok.

Guys, the worst part,its ot even using the gpu power. like literally 0%. the fans no even turn on. Prolly its a simplepls [cursing removed by moderator] bug/lag, wich destroys the entire workflow on ps. Ill contact suport till they solve it. we're paying

What makes you think that using the GPU get's better performance? 

[saltwatercolours]

Yes, it's just a coding issue.

[Paulo5E04]

well, i thought the graphics card supposed to take care of graphics apps like photoshop, but in not an expert.The GPU is way more powerful than the cpu graphics, so i thought that was obvious.

Anyway, is obvius to me, that is an sofware issue, cuz the graphic card is not even turning on.

It would be interesting to get a test file from you, with the problem. Your system is heavily overqualified for the file you're showing. There should not be a big issue.

[saltwatercolours]

I know for me, it happens on every file.  The files I work with are all about 5000x5000px 8bit.  Anyone else?

[Lumigraphics]

Since it doesn't happen for all of us, it must be something specific to your system.

[saltwatercolours]

My system is heavily overqualified as well, which makes it mysterious.  Not a lack of capability.  

[Paulo5E04]

i guess must be something on software, cuz gpu is not even turning on. Or the hardware parts no matching how it supposed to be, i guess.
