Photoshop CC 20.0.4 Brush Lag

  • April 13, 2019

Since Photoshop 20.0.4 came out I have a horrible brush lag.

I already reduced the mode from advanced to normal in Preferences, but it doesn't help.

Is this a known bug? It is so super slow that no matter how slow I move the brush, the lag is always there.

I wish Adobe wouldn't introduce new bugs with updates. Fewer updates - and without added "features" like this lag, which I didn't have before.

I have the same issue.  I have updated to Big Sur on my mac and also photoshop but the lagging on the brush and pencil tool is appalling.  It's either no smoothing and no lag but no straight lines either or smoothing and a kind of guessing game where it ends up.  I have gone into preferences and clicked on cursors and the option show brush leash while smoothing which gives you some idea where the brush is going. This isn't ideal though

I had this problem. For me, it was as simple as turning 'Smoothing' to 0%... I didn't realise this can cause severe brush lag

      Have you enabled Legacy compositing in the performance area in preferences? That helped me when I had issues

      I enabled Legacy compositing and put it in Basic mode in Performance preferences and the lag is gone. I was using a mouse on my PC and first noticed the lag when using a Genius tablet, then found it also did it when using the mouse. Now it's gone.

      Hi Ocean2011,

      Sorry that you're facing brush lag in Photoshop CC 20.0.4.

      Are you using a tablet to draw in Photoshop? If so then, which tablet are you using and have you checked that tablet drivers are updated to latest version? If you're not using a tablet, then do you notice the lag while working with third party or custom brushes?

      Couple of troubleshooting steps if you're using a tablet, that you can try to resolve the lag issue:

      • Follow the suggestions in Photoshop crashing due to libcef.dll.
      • Update to the latest version of your peripheral’s driver.
      • Try using Photoshop with a different peripheral unit.
      • Contact the manufacturer of your peripheral for additional support.

      You may also restore Photoshop preferences to default, Please refer this article for instructions on how to restore Photoshop preferences:

      Let us know how it goes.

      Thanks,

      Akash

      I'm working with a Wacom Intuos Pro S. This is the standard high quality tablet and Photoshop must be able to work with that.

      I have updated the driver.

      As I'm on a Mac, the first point doesn't apply.

      The lag has not improved at all.

        Do you face the brush lag only while working with 3rd party brushes or even with the default Photoshop brushes?

        Also, does the brush lags if you draw using your mouse instead of the tablet?
