Get Photoshop Up and Running Smoothly Again! You're working on your image and suddenly Photoshop starts to lag! The brush lags, the program runs very slow, it freezes from time to time. In that case, probably you might have filled up the memory of the program. Here's how to make the software breathe again.
This fix is for situations where there is a lag due to a lot of lengthy work with tons of layers or actions/brush strokes etc. If the sluggishness or lag always had been there and is persistent, it is a different issue, probably something to do with the processor, RAM, Operating System, Disk Space, Photoshop version etc.
I hope this video helps you. Thank you for watching!

Oh my God you just saved my whole night. I’ve been working on an incredibly detail digital art piece and I could not color at all because the lag was so bad. It got to the point that I would get the loading icon while the computer sluggishly tried to catch up. After following your directions, CS6 is running brilliantly once again. Now I can finish my picture without frustration anymore. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you so much!! I also want to thank you for getting right to it instead of dragging on for ten minutes over a two minute fix.

@@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.

A very good tip! Mostly a problem with RAM (so that PS has to constantly write data to the hard drive or SSD), I would think. Pure processing power is far less of a problem in my experience. So before looking for a new machine one might consider to give it more RAM (if possible; 8GB should help, 16GB is even better; most laptops have 4GB, even nowadays, and this is no longer sufficient with modern file sizes …). What might be an additional problem with current CC versions is their (buggy) use of the GPU - this is what I encountered with InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop (but to use some nice features this has to be on with PS).

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….

Also, I was told I could flatten the image, but I don't want to do that so I can re edit later if needed. Any thoughts or ideas about this? Thanks for your great videos!

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

I've an issue that's a bit more frustrating. My computer has 16 gigs of ram and a cpu/gpu combo that should NOT have trouble with a 3-layer 600x600p image. The problem is where I click, and the click registers about a second later, but rest of the drawing is not laggy at all. It's just the initial "click", where if I keep moving the mouse from one point to another, it just snaps from that point to the one when the input is registered. This is driving me up to wall and I can't fix it, please, please help.
