After updating to CC 2019 my Lasso tool is not showing where it has been on screen, therefore I am working blind, if I add to the selection it then starts to show the the direction of the lasso selection but it won't do it straight away, how can I fix?

      Try turning off Use Graphics Processor" in Preferences performance and restart. If that works , turn it back on and try each of the drawing modes in "Advanced" .

      If working with the GPU off  resolves your issue and you are on Windows , then check the GPU driver from the GPU manufatcturers site.

      Hi Dave, it looks like you solved your issue. I had the same problem and just accidently discovered what it was (for me)....my Polygannol Tool wouldn't work at all....I tried all the suggestions on this page to no avail...I'm on a 2016 iMac with a Wacom Pen Tablet... I then just tried my mouse and it worked fine !! So it's an issue with my tablet...I think older tablets are not getting updated drivers for newer Photoshop versions... hope this helps others if they come across this issue..

      Hi

      Try enabling this option in preferences then restart Photoshop

      If that doesn't help try resetting Photoshop preferences
