Photoshop 2026/27.x Freezes During Editing on Windows 11 with RTX 4070 Ti — GPU and Clean Driver Reinstall Didn't Help

Hi everyone,I'm experiencing persistent freezing and severe performance issues in Photoshop 2026 on Windows 11, and I'm hoping someone can help me identify the cause.System specifications OS: Windows 11 Home, build 26300 CPU: Intel Core i7-13700KF GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti (12 GB VRAM) RAM: 32 GB NVIDIA driver: 617.42 Photoshop: 2026 (27.x) The problemThe New Document window sometimes freezes immediately after opening. If I wait long enough, it may eventually become responsive and allow me to create a document.The problem also occurs while editing existing PSD files. Photoshop may work initially, but after a while the interface becomes extremely sluggish or freezes temporarily. Sometimes Windows reports that Photoshop is not responding, but it can recover after waiting. This makes it very difficult to work normally.I also experienced similar sluggishness with Photoshop Beta. Rolling back to an earlier Photoshop version improved the situation slightly, but did not resolv

Luminosity Masks

PS has just updated to 27.11.0 and I’m no longer able to use the luminosity masks action that I had been using successfully up to now. It makes an attempt to create the masks but after several error messages, it will only create a selection of the total that it normally would.I work in Lab colour mode but it’s also affected in RGB also.I just need a simple action that can do as I need, I don’t want a separate plug-in. A bit baffled as to why this is happening.Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Something for the Weekend - Part 269 - Off the cuff!

Thanks to all who took part in our ‘mystery’ challenge. It is amazing to see the variations explaining what might have happened in the woods.Those who regularly take part in these challenges will know that sometimes we start with an object and sometimes a scene. This week it is the turn of these handcuffs. They are from Adobe 3D assets and were textured in Substance Painter, along with the other objects, then rendered in Blender 3D, before finishing in Photoshop. How will you use the cuffs? Will they appear on someone in your image or will you turn them into something else completely?The “rules”:Use the starter image as at least part of your own image entry. Anything goes, as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright, etc. Anyone, and everyone, is welcome to have a go, whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert.

Allow selection tools to approach the edge of an image without snapping to the edgeOpen for Voting

Please allow selection tools such as crop and marquis to approach arbitrarily close to the edge of an image without automatically snapping to the edge whenever the user gets close to it. It’s annoying to have to zoom way in to be able to place the edge of the crop mask near, but not on, the edge of the image.

Make the tool options panels into moveable windowsOpen for Voting

When I select the crop tool or any other tool, the tool options window obscures the bottom 21% of the image area on my laptop screen (I measured it). Every time I select a tool, I have to manually minimize the options window to regain access to my entire image.Please make the tool options windows moveable so they can be resized and relocated to be out of the way, and make them retain that size and location the next time they are opened. That should lower the blood pressure of PSe users everywhere!And the Crop Suggestions would not likely be missed by many, if any users if they were to disappear entirely.

Photoshop 2026 — Brush painting capped at ~30 FPS on high-refresh-rate monitor, regardless of hardware load

Summary:When painting with the Brush tool, Photoshop's canvas redraw appears hard-capped at approximately 31–32 FPS, even on a 144Hz monitor with a high-end GPU that is barely utilized during the stroke. This does not happen in other applications (e.g., MS Paint) on the same machine, which render smoothly up to the monitor's full refresh rate.System specs:GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 (8GB VRAM) CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 (6 Cores, 3,5 GHz) Driver version: 591.86, CUDA 13.1 Monitor: 144Hz (confirmed set correctly in Windows Display settings) OS: Windows 11 Photoshop version: Adobe Photoshop 2026Steps to reproduce:Open any document (tested on both small ~1000x1000px and larger 2560x1440px canvases — file size does not affect the issue) Select the Brush tool (tested with standard round brushes, Smoothing set to 0%) Paint continuously on the canvas while monitoring FPS via MSI Afterburner / RivaTuner Statistics Server overlay Observed FPS stays around 31–32 FPS during active brush strokesWhat I

SummaryPen pressure doesn’t work in Photoshop 27.11 (the current release) on a Wacom Cintiq Pro 24. Strokes draw at full size and opacity no matter how hard I press.

How to Make Contiguous Checkbox Visible Again?

The PS 27.11.0 update hid the Contiguous checkbox. Now to see whether it’s checked or not, one has to click on the three dots in the Options bar. I am constantly using the Contiguous function, and this is a time-consuming and frustrating change. How can I make the Contiguous check-box always visible?

Ensure standard features continue to work

In the rush to add AI features please make sure old standard features we depend on and that have worked for years continue to work. With PS 27.11 the ability to save as a TIFF, an essential function, got removed or turned off. More bugs and deficiencies are being introduced as more AI functions get added.
