When Photoshop Starts to Lag, Here's What to Do! 

While me here, adding just 1 layer Photoshop: guess you know the rules

Same....

what you have an intel i9? xD

:o

ive got a ryzen 9 3900XT & 32 GB of RAM 3200mhz and my brush still has delay xD

@@fantooo photoshop recommends only Intel and AMD processor

Hello,, please can you tell me what you did to fix it, I use photoshop cs6 too but I cant draw because it doesn't respond correctly, This video isn't playing which is why I'm asking🙏🙏🙏🙏

@@RiyaKumari-nx3wy It was around ten months ago when I watched it thus I unfortunately do not quite remember what all was taking place in it. The video will not play for me either anymore. From what I recall, it was something to do with deleting the history files and how much the program was allowed to go back. So I limited it to having only ten recent files instead of its default and instructed the delete history to have only a certain number to go back. I also told the program to use more RAM as well as gave more permission for graphic use. You can find the options for it in preferences and interface. I do not run as many things alongside it anymore to give more leeway to that, defrag my hard drive often and delete the Photoshop main files when I finish my pictures. As I will only want the final product anyway at that point. If you know for a fact you will not be coming back to use the file, delete it. If not, save it but don't hang on to them too long in the unsure phases. Give yourself a four week window. If you haven't cared about touching it in four weeks, there's a very good chance you never will. I also recommend getting a large thumb drive. You can get terabyte ones off Amazon for great prices and they are wonderful for saving those PNGs, GIFs and JPEGs. I also recommend making sure you don't have too many windows open in program, there's only so much a computer can tolerate. Especially if you are working on a five year old laptop such as myself.

@@rosebud10123 thanks so much for replying, although I have tried all of what you mentioned already, my PC is quite old too( around 7 years now) but it'd been running photoshop without any problems just until a few days ago, I dont know what caused it but I'll try fixing it.. thanks again for the reply🤗

I agree😂

Truueee--- 😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yeah 😂

Oh hell yeah 👍👍👍👍

Yeah for me its over when i use the text tool...2020 has pretty bad performance

Its blc your a space tuna

you are using the layer size too big , proably thats the reason. Make a lower resolution (72 for paint ect if im correct and 300 for printing) use a low pixel layer too, 3000 x 3000 might be fine for your laptop. I use amd a4 processor , i cant go further than 2000x2000 pixels :c dont chase for the quality, normally not even a single human could spot the difference unless you are unmesh

Photoshop is badly optimised, affinity photo is a million times faster. No lag when using massive res images

my 16 gb ram and i7 is trash

@@vmafarah9473 Right you are! Fixed. And thanks for the correction (I'm from a time when 8 MB of RAM was considered HUGE (I can even remember Bill Gates boasting that 640 KB would be more than enough); my first computer was a small 6502 board with a 16 KB memory extension beneath and no operating system to speak of …) 😁

There are several ways of enhancing psd performances in preference settings. A. Depending on what kind of files you are working on, you can set it up for better file handling whether it is a big file or a lot of small ones. B. What I found the most effective thing to do for big file is to add a scratch disk (preferably a ssd), you need that free space available for psd when it is processing heavy duty tasks. C. you can dedicate up to 90% of your processors for psd use. It should still be alright for another Adobe software to work fine at the same time… So before thinking of changing the hardware, try out the settings first, you might end having the same problem quickly with a new laptop. Free space on your HD is key. Last little note on this, psd so far can only use up to 6 processors, so a 12 cores won’t change much from a 6 cores. Look for the highest speed for each rather than a humongous amount of cores… If of course, your main use is for psd….

Thank you brother :)
