I have a greyscale image. It is a pencil sketch. I want to clean some stuff up. I click the eraser tool. Adjust the size. Click and drag. 10 seconds later the erase happens. This is a seriously bad lag. I am using a Logitech mouse. Firmware is up to date. Running Windows 10. Computer has a Geoforce RTX 3060 graphics card. Intel i7 13th gen cpu. 32 gigs of RAM. I am sure my computer has enough horsepower to run the eraser tool on a 200 dpi greyscale image. Not sure what is causing the lag. It also happens when using the brush tool.
Is this a laptop?
Desktop PC.
That is pretty much what I experienced yesterday when I attempted to use the spot healing tool.
I flattened the image and the Healing Clone tool worked much faster as expected. However, when I use the Eraser tool and then undo, a faint, dark green shape appears and is even on the exported jpg.
Interesting, I've seen this in the past when Iwas using the gaming driver for my Nvidia card.
What video card are you using?
GPU:
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
Nvidia Studio Driver v531.41
"Use GPU To Accelerate Upsampling" is "On" for both Photo-PAINT 2023 and DRAW 2023
Workstation:
Intel i7-8700K CPU @ 3.700GHz
32 GB RAM
The GTX 1050 Ti uses 4GB of VRAM.
I'm running twice that, I have background tasks disabled in Photo-PAINT and hardware acceleration enabled.
Bottom line: There are no pending plans for upgrades and at this time there is no ROI in it. The need just isn't there. Fortunately I really don't have any major problems with my workstation. If we should land a customer whose jobs demand a more robust workstation we'll definitely jump on it, but until then... carry on!
That's simply some of the differences between our systems, I have an i9, 64GB of RAM, (not that big a deal IMO) an SSD, I configure Windows, and there may be things that the IT guys do, (more often than not) that screws things up.
I would turn off background tasks in Photo-PAINT.
