Photoshop: Spot healing brush becomes slow and lag after a while

[Hjorthmedh]

Hej!

I have a Photoshop problem where my spot healing brush becomes very slow, with second long or longer lag, between clicking and action. If I restart Photoshop it goes back to normal speed for a while, but a few images later the editing is very slow. This was working fine in previous versions of Photoshop, so it is a new problem.

Anyone else experience the same problem, and have a solution for it?

Sorry for posting in the Lightroom forum, it said "Photoshop Lightroom" and I can not find a dedicated Photoshop forum, mods please move this if appropriate.

HI, I have same problem

Same. Slow as sirup with the new update - I'll have to wait 1-2 seconds before the tool commits the changes. It seems like there are plenty more with the same problem over here;

Hopefully it'll get resolved sooner rather than later:)

Same issue here.  I even reinstalled photoshop hoping it would help. It worked for one image and then became problematic. I’ve noticed it will sometimes not allow just a spot to be removed. It will force you to create a line.  Not sure what the problem is.

Hi All,

We've released Photoshop CC 19.0.1 that should fix this issue. Please update to the latest version from Creative Cloud desktop app and let us know if you still continue to face this issue.

Thanks for your patience.

Thank you Akash!

I also noticed you solved the issue with Photoshop stealing focus when started - really appreciated!

Have a nice day - good work!
