MAC Yosemite PS CC＝brush LAG??!!

WHY ?
MAC Yosemite PS CC＝brush LAG??!!

Hello there, SAME problem here.....installed yosemite and first of all, the hand tool is a little lag....I mean, no soft panning....but I can live somehow with that..... the really messy problem is that, when I use any tool or perform any action, (zoom, rotate, whatever), sometimes photoshop catch it instantaneously, and some other times it has a little BUT ANNOYING lag just at the moment you use it... being the most frustrating situation with the brush....sometimes I make a stroke and is ok and when I make the next stroke, photoshop draw the line like, half a second later...which is FRUSTRATING AS HELL (sorry I have spent all evening trying to solve the issue so I am frustrated), but the most weird thing is that sometimes JUST sometimes when I open photoshop...suddenly the problem disappears and everything is soft and perfect (even the hand/ panning tool)....but after working for some hours the problem randomly appears again....I thought it was the driver ....but no i think is not.... I tried downloading the old one and stuff but I think is a problem of photoshop and yosemite .....because I just reinstalled photoshop cc2014....and voila the problem disappeared again.....but I am 100% sure that, randomly, in the next days it will appear again.... so my provisional solution for now is just reinstalling the software.....and pray ...I guess.
I read that the adobe guys say that "yosemite and adobe cc stuff are compatible and no problems" well I think that, for them, the fact that the software just run on yosemite is reason enough to say is "ok" but those little "details" and little "lags" make the whole experience of working just....PAIN.....
my machine is a 15 inch retina with 16 gb of ram so WHY THIS IS THIS HAPPENING!!!!!!
thank you

Yosemite has created brush lag in photoshop cs6

I'm experiencing lag issues in photoshop on a new Macbook Pro 2.6 GHz w/ 16 gigs ram. Seem to be one of many with this issue
There have been numerous complaints to Adobe and it seems the issue lies within the latest OS software.
See adobe forum link for similar complaints- https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1611990
Is Apple working on a solution to update the OS?? People have provided plugins but they only seem to bandage the issue without resolving.

Apple is not immune from releasing flawed drivers. They get them from ATI just like PC users do.
Assuming your CPU power is sufficient you would not expect to see a difference in operation. Certain operations, for example color management transforms, are executed in the CPU rather than the GPU in Basic mode.

Layer effects cause severe brush lag in Photoshop on Yosemite

Has anyone else noticed that when you show a layer effect in PS CS6 on Yosemite there is a severe brush lag?
Even when the effect is NOT on the active layer, hiding the effect (such as a stroke effect on a layer) allows the brush strokes to appear realtime.
This wasn't happening on Mavericks.
Photoshop CS6 13.0.6 x64
Mavericks 10.10.1
iMac Intel Core i5, 2.66 GHz
Memory: 16 GB
Wacom Cintiq 13HD

Thanks for the reply.
It's not an Intuos3. It's a Bamboo. Drivers are latest.
Like I said, everything works fine in 32-bit version. Brush is perfect, pressure sensitivity is great.
x64 it's awful. Start drawing and there's a lag before it actually gets drawn, which means I'm missing loads of brush strokes and it can't keep up (although it's the beginning moment that's causing the most grief). Of course there's no pressure sensitivity either so it's absolutely useless.
I tried the steps you mentioned and there was absolutely no difference. Something is wrong with the x64 version.
I can't be hassled to attempt to figure out what the issue is. I can't be bothered with using the x64 version when the 32-bit one is completely fine - it's not like I'd be getting any advantages from the x64 version anyway. I'd like to be able to just get rid of the x64 one and keep the 32-bit version, or have 32-bit as my default and never have x64 even launch.
Is there any way I can do that?
Thanks

How to fix brush lag in Photoshop CC with a Cintiq 13 HD (on apple's Mavericks OS)?

I bought a Cintiq 13 HD about a month ago and have been using it with Photoshop to do a book cover and to teach concept art at a university.
Everything with Adobe Photoshop was working fine, as far as I can remember/noticed, until this last week or so.
All of a sudden there is a significant amount of brush lag—to the point of Photoshop being completely unusable.
I have spent hours pouring through the web looking for answers, but to no avail.
In Photoshop, however, there is anywhere from a tiny delay to a full 1 second delay—afterwards the brush *usually* catches back up with me.
If I try to jot down a dozen small lines quickly, sometimes Photoshop skips brush strokes altogether, or only puts down one brush stroke "space" or stamp, whatever you call it.
This happens even if I'm using the most basic airbrush with default settings—I'll have a delay, an occasional skipped brush stroke altogether, and an occasional tiny dot where I first started the brush stroke followed by nothing until I lift up the pen and go to the next stroke.
I also use Corel Painter X3 in my work, and there is no lag whatsoever. I jot down a dozen tiny lines as fast as I can and the Cintiq and Corel keep right up with me.
I have tried playing with the GPU and OpenGL to no avail. My GPU drivers are up to date (I'm on a mac, so it's automatic). I've tried changing the Performance Preferences to Basic, Normal, and Advanced (being sure to restart Photoshop each time) without any real solution. (I will say that changing the GPU settings down from Advanced seemed to produce a slightly faster brush stroke in general, but not in the sense that I'm talking about in this post. More of just the regular lag kind of thing that's to be expected.)
I'm on a Mid-2010 Macbook Pro
2.53 GHz Intel Core i5
8 GB Ram
NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512 MB graphics card
Using a SSD drive 512 GB free space
OS X 10.9.5
All Adobe products are completely up to date and I've tried reinstalling the Cintiq drivers.
I'm out of ideas.
At my university I'll be teaching my class the basics of vehicle design very soon here, and I would prefer to use Photoshop over Painter for this sort of thing, due to its superior non-painting tools. But I can't paint when my brush strokes randomly don't appear on the screen, or lag so much that I can't see what I'm doing if I'm working quickly.
Thank you for your help.
Bryan Beus

First of all, thank you so much for taking the time to try to help out. It
is much appreciated.
The two things that first come to mind are: I have many friends in the
industry who paint solely in Photoshop and do just fine. My computer is
technically "old," but the specs are still just fine—even the graphics card
is the exact same one that is in the new Cintiq Companions (the all-in-one
computer/cintiq machines).
And, more so, I was painting on it for a few weeks without noticing
anything. A part of me wonders, did I just not notice it until it became
dramatically worse?
I do remember painting fur, which requires making tons of small brush
strokes over an extended period of time, and I don't remember there being
any lag.
By the way, I forgot to mention: I've even tried going into the Performance
preferences and disabling the graphics card altogether. No luck. Still an
issue.
As far as painting at 100%: I do notice an amount of improvement. The one
brush stamp, or space, whatever you call it, issue only happened on the
first brush stroke (every time) and then just once otherwise. The lag was
tremendous—and I compared it to Painter's performance, which had no issues
whatsoever.
I am really hoping to be able to rely on Photoshop more and more, as its
tools for other aspects of image manipulation are far more robust than
Painter's. And the working compatibility with Adobe InDesign, Flash, and
Adobe Media Encoder are sooooooo useful for speeding up the workflow.
Hopefully we can find out what's going wrong.
I'm truly baffled on this one.

Photoshop cs3 and cs4 brush lag /snow leopard 10.6.6

Having occasional brush lag using these apps. Not due to wacom, does same with mouse. Discussions going on at adobe forums. I have ATI 5770 in mac pro 2.8 quad. Don't want to update to 10.6.7 due to font/pdf issues. Spoke to apple person, who couldn't say if the new update had specific fixes for graphics drivers. Anyone having same problems?

?Did you have a PowerMac before, and did you use the Migration Assistant?
How about some normal good system maintenance?
CS3 on a Mac Pro running SL may or may not work the best on mid-2010 Mac Pro.
Your mac by default was set to boot into 64-bit kernel mode. I assume you switched to 32-bit.
How about RAM and storage setup? disabled Spotlight and moved primary scratch to non-system drive?
To elimiate any confusion, change the "PowerMac" to what you have, a Mid-2010.

Brush lag in CS3 and CS4

Got a new 2.8 mac pro, 10 gb ram, 10.6.6, both versions have intermittent brush lag. Size of brush not a factor. Replaced prefs, didn't fix. Not an issue on old G5, running tiger 10.4.11. I'm sure this is an old topic, but I've looked around and no one seems to have a for sure fix. Did wacom runarounds. Assuming it's a snow leopard thing. I know there is another os update. Anyone have ideas or fix?

Redid prefs in both versions, have one plugin which I turned off, and that didn't change things. Real intermittent, can be working for a while and it will happen and then not for some time. These were both new installs. I did the font validation thing, which I hadn't heard of. IT people I work with advise not to update to 10.6.7, they've found problems, and are not doing the update in an ad agency, so I'll follow their advice on that. Weird that it occurs in both versions. Would be nice if a Adobe employee had some feedback, other than the guy that responded to me. Seems he's a professional responder. Had no issues on old computer using tiger and cs3. I've done a google search and come up with people with same problem and no solid solution.

Adobe Flash Professional CC brush lag, and jagged edges

So, I've been trying to use adobe flash, but whenever i try to draw anything, the brush lags, and it comes out as jagged bent lines. If I use the brush really slowly, it will work properly, but I am unable to use the brush or pencil tool at normal speeds without getting these jagged lines. There is a screenshot included, please help. I've updated my graphics card driver, and my specs are down below.
(PC Specs):
AMD FX 4300 3.8GHz
NVIDIA GTX 770
8GB Corsair RAM
Windows 8
I have a Wacom Bamboo, but both the mouse and my drawing tablet are laggy.

Here's a list of steps for reproduction of the issue. (My problem is that curves drawn with the pencil tool are automatically partially straightened, especially when drawing quickly. Here's a link to a video of the problem: https://forums.adobe.com/message/6673728#6673728)
1. Open a new document and select the Pencil tool.
2. Pencil Mode should be set to Smooth. In properties, set Smoothing to 0.
3. Draw a line either using a Wacom tablet, Cintiq, mouse or Mac trackpad. Wait to release the stylus/mouse button and look at the representation of your gesture.
4. Release the stylus and see how Flash rounds your curve inaccurately or straightens a section of it.
5. Illustrate a variety of curve shapes at varying speeds, especially quick ones.
6. Zoom in to about 800% and repeat the drawing steps to see more enhanced problematic drawing representations.
Results: Drawing with the pencil tool is erratic and does not represent input, especially quickly drawn curves.
Expected results: The pencil tool in Flash CC should perform accurately as it did in versions CS5.5/CS6.

Adobe Creative Cloud (Desktop) does not work properly. The application is blocked : it could not be launch neither stopped. I'm on MAC Yosemite OS, does anyone know how to remove it properly or to force its stop. It does not appear in the launched applications.

I received no error message. The application was just trying to find applications unsuccessfully.
I am using MAC OS 10.10.1
I tried to uninstall the application but it seems that a kind of deamon is still installed thus providing me to reinstall properly. Do you know where are the elements to remove in order to get my machine just like before ?
Otherwise I would have to reinstall everything and this would be a pain.
Thanks for your help.

My windows(8.1 64bit) partition is read only from the mac(yosemite) side of things. Anybody have a clue on how to fix this? Also, slightly frustrating as well, windows crashes every time I attempt to open a file from the mac partition.

All Office applications will also try to open a temporary work file in the same location as the source file. This implies the source file directory also needs to be writable for this temporary file. Since the default HFS+ driver provides only read-only access, such temporary files will fail to open, and will cause the application to fail.
As a test copy the file you want to edit, say an Excel spreadsheet from the OSX file system to the C: drive on the Windows side and try to open it. If you look in this directory, you should see two files, the source and a temporary file. You may have to force the temporary file to be opened on a read-write file system, by manipulating the folder for temporary files.

The latest update to CC has caused brush lag across all versions of Photoshop. How can I fix this?

Ever since this past week's update to CC, I have noticed a decrease in performance across all versions of Photoshop I have installed, CS6 and CC. Many of the brushes I have, both in Photoshop's default and my own custom sets, lag horribly when drawing. My system had not previously had this issue as far as I can tell. Just to be safe, I have tested Photoshop on other builds, a macbook pro and a near top of the line PC. The lag happens across all systems. I've tried drawing with just the mouse and the Cintiq 12WX and the responsiveness is the same.
For the sake of this case, here are the specs of my main work computer. All drivers are up to date, as is the OS:
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 2.40 GHZ
RAM: 8 GB
Operating System: Windows 8 (64-bit)
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series
Hard Drive: Samsung 830 256 GB Solid State (where my scratch drive is)
Monitor: 2 X Dell U2410
I have tried altering the OpenGL settings and disabling them altogether on all builds, including this one. There is no change in the lag of the brushes.
For the sake of complete clarity, these are the specs of the near top of the line PC and the Macbook, which both had the same issues:
The PC:
Processor: Intel Core i5 3570K 3.4 GHz, overclocked to 4.4 GHz
RAM: 16GB DDR3 1600 MHz
Operating System: Windows 8 (64 Bit)
Graphics Card: 2 X EVGA Nvidia GTX 670 4GB SLI
Hard Drive: 2 X Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB SSD, Raid 0
Monitor: Apple 27" Cinema Display
Macbook Pro:
Processor: Intel Core i7 2.7 GHz
Operating System: OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion
Hard Drive: Western Digital 500GB 7200 RPM
Graphics: Nvidia Geforce 630M
I've also tried completely uninstalling and re-installing Photoshop CS5 and CC on my work computer, which still did not solve the issue.
I am a freelance artist and this sudden lack of performance is putting a cramp in my deadlines and possibly in my income stream, if I cannot solve this issue quickly. Please advise!

I have some new info on the issueI thought I'd share with you.
First of all, I've installed Photoshop CC on my SurfacePro (Windows 8) and do not have the lag issue there. It's very similar hardware to my MacBook Pro. So the issue must have something to do with my MacBook.
After a lot of tinkering I discovered that it is my 27" Thunderbolt Display that is causing the brush lag. When I unplug it and only use my built in 13" screen the brush lag is gone. Aha!
I tried every available option in the Performance section but nothing helped. Again, Photoshop CS5 with attached Thunderbolt Display doesn't have a brush lag issue.
I'd be interested to know everyone else's setup who is experiencing this problem.

Third-party NTFS software interferes with the Apple NTFS drivers, which control whether you can see the Bootcamp partition in the Startup Disk option. As a test, can you uninstall all third-party NTFS software and check System Preferences -> Startup Disk?

Unable to select logical relations in DataModeler version 4.1.0.866 Build 866 on Mac Yosemite 10.10.1

Hi Team,
I can not select logical and physical relations in DataModeler version 4.1.0.866 Build 866 on Mac Yosemite 10.10.1 (Java SDK 1.8). DataModeler does not allow me to select them. I mean the next scenario: I create two entities (or tables) and add a logical (or physical) relation between them. After this I can not select the relation in diagram window. Meantime I still can select the relation in browser window.
Could you please suggest me is it a bug (maybe a platform specific problem) or did I miss something in software options?
I found a topic about the same issue. It describes the same problem, though the topic is without an answer and was archived.
New bug - Unable to select logical relations in version 4.0.2.15 Build 15.21 on Mac
At the end, if this is a bug (even a platform specific one), where may I publish details about it to ask for a fix from Oracle team someday in future?
WIth best regards,
Kostyantyn

Hi Philip,
Thank you for the good hint about "default line width and colour".
Meantime the option does not resolve the problem in my case.
According to your suggestion I set maximal width for relation lines and I still can not pick (select) it in diagram window.
I checked behaviour of DataModeler with next display resolutions on MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) in System preferences Displays: "Best for display"; Scaled "More Space", "Larger Text", and "Best (Retina)"... And the problem takes place in all these cases.
Please see attached image - this is how I see the relation line. And I still can hit it!
If I use the DataModler on a casual external monitor, the problem is absent (no matter what a width is). Also I believe the problem takes place only on mac retina displays. Therefore I think this is a platform specific bug.
I do understand a root cause of the problem may have no direct relation with Oracle DataModeler source code.
With best regards,
Kostyantyn
