    Why is Photoshop CC 2014 so laggy?

    SarahNorthway Community Member

      I just upgraded to the new Photoshop and imported my settings, but when I draw with a mouse on a 2000x1000 canvas, the line I'm drawing lags way behind my cursor. It's quite frustrating. I feel like I'm drawing in molasses.

       

      If I open my old copy of PS CC 64 bit (which thankfully wasn't deleted), then open the same image and draw with the same brush tool at the same zoom level, there is no lag. I can switch back and forth between them: super laggy on the new version, zippy-fast in the old one. I've rebooted, verified that both are using my Nvidia video card, and that both are indeed 64 bit. I have a 3200x1800 Razer Blade 2014. This happens with or without the experimental feature to scale the UI for larger screens (which I was excited to upgrade for).


      Why is the 2014 version so much slower than the 2013 version?
