Where does one give feedback to Adobe?    I've been having extremely bad interface lag for a long time that forced me to use old versions of photoshop, but I assumed it was something with my system or windows install so I waited.    This week I upgraded to a completely new system, fresh install of everything, not one piece of the same hardware or anything. It's a beefy machine too  - 5900x, 64gb 3200mhz ram, RTX 3090 and 5tb of high speed SSD.   But even these specs are apparently not good enough to run the photoshop interface anymore.    I am STILL having the same buggy, glitchy and laggy interface issues I had before. They are made worse if I turn off flick pan (which I have always had off ever since it was introduced and it was no issue) but even with default settings photoshop can barely deal with it's interface.    I'm not sure if it had to do with a large amount of layers but yesterday my document eventually would not let me pan around at all, the canvas would glitch out to some weird spot on the screen and would always glitch back to that spot if I tried to pan with the hand tool. I had to quit and restart to fix. This happened multiple times. I paint so there are a lot of fast actions so it's extra noticeable. If I hide the UI pressing TAB and go to full screen edgeless mode it runs a little better when it's the canvas only, but that's not a realistic workspace for me.    At this point I'm desperately trying to find an alternative software so I can stop using Photoshop, as I spend the majority of my life in these programs and this poor performance is making it extremely unpleasant.    I used to love photoshop, now I am starting to loathe it and I'm not sure what to do anymore. ...

Hey all,    I've had this issue going on for many months now and I'd hoped it would resolve in the latest version I just updated to, but it's still there.    There is really bad issue with document and interface interaction, causing extreme lag when panning and zooming the image, and also often ending up causing a program crash.    I am fairly certain it has to do with the GPU integration, as if I turn that off it goes away (tho running without GPU has it's own lag and problems)    I've managed to narrow it down to something about the document canvas interacting with the UI. If I zoom out so it's small in the center of the screen, it will pan around smoothly. But as soon as the document intersects the document window, or any UI element it lags out badly.  If I go to full screen mode it is smooth until it goes under any UI panel - if I press tab to hide all UI elements it then works very smoothly.  This is driving me crazy as I have not been able to work in a version newer than CC 2019, and I really need some of the new features in my workflow.  I'm running on Windows 10, 32gb ram, RTX 2070, i7 8700. I updated the Nvidia drivers, to no avail.    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated - My only other one is to do a full system re-install, but I would greatly like to avoid that if possible.      ...

Hello!   Banding at low value ranges is driving me crazy.   I have recently realised that even if I am working in a 16 bit document and I create a gradient from black to a dark grey, banding shows up drastically in the normal document workspace view in Photoshop. This happens no matter which colour space I have the document set to (Adobe RGB, sRGB etc etc)   However, if I open that same gradient layer in the Camera Raw filter, the gradient is perfectly smooth in the Camera Raw filter's preview viewport. I also know that the gradient is actually smooth because if I save a 16 bit tiff and open it in other viewers, e.g. Adobe Bridge (viewed at 100%, not preview) the gradient is also smooth.    What is it about the normal document workspace in Photoshop that doesn't allow for high bit depth viewing? This has been consistent when I noticed it in version CC2018 and still in CC2020.    P.S. - I notice that when I create a the dark gradient in a 16 bit image it shows in the workspace very banded, but if I then convert that 16 bit to 8 bit, it becomes mostly smooth. (not as smooth as when viewing the 16bit gradient in the Camera Raw filter) though if that gradient is created in an 8 bit document it's nastily banded (as if dithering is turned off on the gradient tool, but it is turned on.)   Thank you for your time, Simon Cowell ...
