Eraser Tool is lagging

[keeganpaxton]

When I try to use the eraser tool it looks like the actual eraser goes slower than the tool outline. You can see from my video that if I wiggle my mouse it eventually catches back up, but it makes it super hard to erase accuately.

Try resetting the tools and/or preferences.
To restore preferences quickly using a keyboard shortcut:

Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) as you start Photoshop. You are prompted to delete the current settings. The new preferences files are created the next time you start Photoshop.
Note: Using the keyboard shortcut, preference files for custom shortcuts, workspaces, and color settings will also be reset to default.
