Photoshop :: Short Brush Stroke Lag CS6 In Dual Monitor Setup?
Apr 4, 2013
When I use a brush or any of the clonehealing tools the brush start lagging when I do you short and quick strokes.
Longer and continuous strokes don't have any lagging going on.
I have reinstalled the driver and tried a few different versions as well but the issue persists. I also tried different settings for the Graphics Processor in preferences but no change.
I am on an Intuos5 L and before that I had the Intuos 3 A4 and I had the problems with that tablet as well.
I am on i5 iMac Quad-Core 2.5ghz, 32gb ram Radeon HD 6750M 512 MB - Mac OS X 10.7.5
Update:After a few testing I realized this lagging appears to happen only when I am on Dual monitor setup.
My main monitor is an Eizo CG222W I have Photoshop setup whereby all my tools and panels are on my iMac and the main window with the image is on my Eizo.When I only use my Eizo with tools and panels then the lagging disappears.

If I try to open Photoshop CS5 while my second monitor is plugged into my laptop (via VGA cable), it loads normally, but won't display any opened images. I get a gray background and nothing else. [URL](I can even see the tiny image preview in the navigator, but not the image itself.)
However, t'll work just fine if I open Photoshop with the second monitor disconnected and THEN plug it in, so it's not a problem with the dual monitors in general...just when first opening it. It's annoying because, if I'm working on a project and realize I have to make a quick image tweak in Photoshop, I have to unplug the monitor and then rearrange all my windows after Photoshop's done loading and I can plug it back in.
I can't seem to find any information online that specifically mentions this issue. For reference, I'm using Windows 7 on a Lenovo laptop.

I have a laptop running on Windows 8 and have a dual monitor setup with the desktop extended to my LCD monitor(main monitor).
GImp 2.8.2 opens on my main monitor BUT the icons/menu etc don't register my mouse clicks, though I can move and resize the windows, highlight things etc
When I move the Gimp window to my Laptop Screen everything works fine on that screen only?
I have used this setup with Windows Vista with no problems at all and even tried Gimp 2.6 on this setup and it works fine too...

Does LR 5 handle a dual monitor setup with different aspect ratios (16:9 and 16:10)?
I'm planing to buy a 27" 16:9 monitor and use it as primary together with a 22" 16:10.

Im using a tablet. I want to make my brush stoke very very short. Previously, I would do this by setting the fade to a very small number. I think I used to set it to airbrush but possibly it worked in brush as well. (I cant even figure out how to select an airbrush now) How do I do this in 6?

I've been running CS6 on my laptop for the past month with no issues regarding lag.
Today I decided to start using an old monitor as a second display, but whenever it's plugged in there is a huge amount of lag within Photoshop - so much lag that it is pretty much unusable.
From what I can tell, most other programs run fine with this setup (I've tried Sai and After Effects, and both are lag free).
I've tried searching this issue - and there's a lot about configuring refresh rates on the individual monitors so they're the same. Tried that - makes no difference.
Any settings within Photoshop I could tweak to make it run better?

I have a dual monitor setup using one video card, and it is configured so that the desktop extends to my second monitor (monitor right).
In CS3 the application with palettes, etc. is on my left monitor and my working document (image) is on the right. Anytime I open an image, boom, it automatically opens on the right monitor. It remembers that the right monitor is where I last had an image document open, so the next one opens there automatically.
In CS4 I can't figure out how to do this. Every document I open shows up on the left monitor and I have to drag it over to the right where I want it. This continues to happen even if I uncheck "Open Documents as Tabs".
I have "Remember Panel Locations" checked, too.
how to change this?

Just installed dual monitors for Photoshop.When in Photoshop using dual monitors, when I click on the image to expand it goes to both monitors. Is there a setting where it only expands to the one (left) monitor?

I recently setup a second monitor on one of my pcs, both monitors i have had for a while and both are Dell 19" LCD (the primary monitor is an "ultrasharp" and the second is a standard one)
Both monitors work fine and display as expected... except when using Photoshop. The black in any pallette on the second monitor is displaying as a horrible brown colour but only on the second monitor. If i fill an area in black on the primary and drag the window over to the secondary, while i have the mouse button pressed and dragging, the colour on the second monitor is still black. As soon as i release the mouse it turns into this horrible brown colour. This is also affecting the colour picker dialog.
Unfortunately it's worthless me posting any screen shots of this as the image turns out fine - its just the photoshop interface. Although the black on toolbars and the like are fine, only colour pickers and the actual drawing area are effected.
Its clearly not drivers as the second monitor displays everything else fine. And it's not my Photoshop install because it works fine on the first monitor. - Also if i remove the first monitor - the second one then displays fine again - only seems to be an issue as a dual monitor setup.
I understand that it's all probably as clear as mud - but I just wondered if anyone else had experienced this and/or had a resolution.

Gear: MacBook Pro, Photoshop CS5, Wacom Cintiq 12WX as second display, Mac OS X 10.7.4
Problem: Photoshop seems to only use the Monitor Profile of the main display (i.e. the one with the menu bar in System Preferences>Displays>Arrangement) - some people say yes, this is the case, some people say no, Photoshop uses independent profiles for each display.
Manifestation: If I set my MacBook screen to the main display, color looks good in Photoshop on the MacBook and terrible on the Wacom and vice-versa. However, in Lightroom and other applications changing the main display makes no difference to the output on each display.
Preferred solution: I would like to have my MacBook as my main display with menu bars and dock etc, but then I want the Cintiq to be the display I use in Photoshop, for obvious reasons. In my workflow, I would like to have my image open in 2 windows, one on the Cintiq for retouching and one on the MacBook to check progress and color etc
Curveball: I have a trial of CS6 and the problem seems to be fixed.

After reverting back to one monitor with Photoshop 7.0, I can no longer see pop up menus (for blending options to be specific). The pop up is somewhere, but not where I can get to it. I have to press Enter to get back to where I was working.
I have tried Window-Workspace-Reset pallet but pop ups are still way out supposedly on my non-existant second monitor. I never saved my workspace from the dual monitor times so there is also nothing to delete. Any help would be much appreciated....I have a job to finish.

I'm really liking the dual monitor with Photoshop. My question is when I have PS open, I put my pallets on the right monitor and the work files on the left. When I have an image open and click on the maximize tab on the uppper right corner of the image, it expands to both monitors. Is there a setting to where it only maximizes on the left monitor instead of across both monitors?

Sometimes I run a second monitor off my laptop. When I run photoshop WITHOUT the second monitor, it tries to pop up certain windows where the second monitor should be, and I can't get at them. I end up having to kill photoshop and open it again. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there somewhere I can tell photoshop not to try to use the second monitor?

I have dual monitors set up. I found some wallpapers online for dual monitors so I tested one. But for some reason it shows up twice for each monitor, instead of streching the large horizontal photo across both. I wanted to make my own using the dimensions of the ones online, but does anyone know how to make it work correctly?

Just installed ACS6 and ran updates on a mac book pro and photoshop images look fine on the laptop display, but slide the image to the second monitor, the image turns black. Slide it back and it is fine again.
Going to system prefs and change main monitor and the problem is reversed, it is black on the laptop and fine on the second monitor

I installed CS4 on my Windows XP system. I immediately updated all the components to the latest versions. When I tried to run CS4, I got repeated error messages about GPU problems. When I tried to open Preferences, CS4 crashed, but only on the General and Performance tabs. I called tech support and they suggested getting the latest drivers for my video card. I did that (for one of my two video cards) and now I can run CS4, but no OpenGL.
Here's my system:
Antec P182 case
PC Power & Cooling S61EPS 610W Power Supply
ASUS P5E motherboard
Intel Q9450 2.66 Ghz CPU
Zalman 9700 CPU cooler
Mushkin 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) RAM
Visiontek Radeon HD3850 512M video card (primary) PCIe
Sapphire Radeon 9250 256M video card (secondary) PCI
HP LP2065 monitors (2)
Western Digital WD6400AAKS 640GB hard drives (3)
Samsung SH-S223F DVD burner
Windows XP Home
I was able to update the video driver for the Radeon 3850 card, but there is nothing new for the Radeon 9250 card. With the newer Radeon 3850 driver, I can now run CS4, but in Preferences > Performance, the GPU setting is now grayed out for Enable OpenGL Drawing and it says "No GPU options available with Photoshop Standard."
When I remove the Radeon 9250 card and just use the Radeon 3850 card, the Enable OpenGL option is there and CS4 runs with it enabled. I conclude from this that the Radeon 9250 card and its driver don't support what CS4 needs, but the Radeon 3850 card and driver do.
I use two video cards because I use Colorvision Spyder3 Elite to calibrate and profile my two monitors, and it is my understanding that I need two cards to separately profile each monitor.
Questions:
1) What features in CS4 am I missing by running it with OpenGL Drawing disabled? CS4 seems to work similarly to CS3 when I edit an image, so maybe I don't need OpenGL... just wondering what OpenGL would give me.
2) Can someone recommend a video card that will run CS4 with OpenGL ... AND ... that will allow dual monitors to each be profiled separately? Or, perhaps I can simply replace the Radeon 9250 PCI card with a newer card that supports OpenGL. Suggestions?
3) I do not have the latest BIOS for my motherboard. Would updating the BIOS help with the OpenGL issue, or is this just a video card/driver issue? My system runs perfectly so I hesitate to update the BIOS -- if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Have created a 42 minute movie that includes the accompaniment track and visuals for musical. I will show the movie via large media projector from the computer VGA out. I'm running 3X in Windows 7.
I am able to access extended desktop, duplicate desktop, etc. via function F4.
I need to be able to PAUSE the video (for live drama) and restart without the controls showing on the big screen. I need to be able to SHOW the movie while viewing the CONTROLS on my monitor display.
Can the "project playback" function be set up to play this way? If not, is there a recommended format I should export to to be able to control the movie this way? Any software recommended to show the movie with a public view and a control view on my monitor?

I'm having the problem with pen cursor when i use dual-monitor.
Before I run GIMP everything work fine, The pen cursor can move in both monitors.But when I run GIMP, It lock my pen area into only the main monitor, even if I close GIMP. So I need to restart my PC to use both monitor with my pen.
It seems to be fine locking pen cursor area in a single monitor, But GIMP cursor IS NOT CORRECT with pen cursor. They both should be the same, But they are not. As you can see in the photo.
I've tried changing the input mode for tablet to Screen and Window. But it still doesn't work.
PS.I'm running GIMP in Window 7 (32Bit), My tablet pen is Kanvus Life H85

I have a problem with PhotoShop CC. I also tested PhotoShop CS5 and PhotoShop CS6, having the same problems (last versions of them). Plugins for PhotoShop are not installed.
My System:
Windows 7 64 Bit with SP1 (newest updates german version)
Intel Core i7-4770k CPU 3.5 Ghz
RAM: 16 GB DDR3
GPU: GeForce GTX 760 2048 MB MSI N760 TF 2GD5/OC
MainBoard: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
Monitor: Asus PB248Q 1920 x 1200 60 Hz (connected with Display Port)
All Drivers (GPU, ChipSet of MainBoard) are up to date.
My Problem is that the Brush or rubber tool is 0,5 to 1 seconds slower than the mouse cursor. The stroke trails behind. But the brush tool still runs smooth and fluently. Its just slower than the mouse. When mouse stops moving, the brush catch up. The brush even trails behind when cursor is moving slow. When cursor is moving faster, sbrush also moves faster, but brush is never as fast as cursor. Only when cursor does not move, brush catch up.
This even happens when simple brushes for example simple round brush with 100 hardness and 10 pixel of size are used.When removing Smooting in brush settings, brush tool become much faster, but not as fast as cursor.This behaviour occurs in 64 and 32 Bit Version of PhotoShop.Also, GPU Settings was changed (Basic, Normal, Advanced), but without results.
When Aero-Surface in windows 7 is disabled, brush tool works much faster, but not smooth and fluently anymore.This also happens when I am working with a document containing only one single layer.I also tested all GPU Settings in PhotoShop (Basic, Normal and Advance), still the same problem.
PhotoShop uses 60% of my Ram (8793 MB)
The strange thing is: When I installed PHotoShop CS5 on my 8 years old computer with Windows XP, Brush tool with same settings was as fast as mouse cursor and it runs really smooth and fluently. The main difference is that my new Computer is using Windows 7, the old one uses Windows XP 32 Bit.
Old System:
Windows XP 32 Bit
AMd Athlon X2 3700+
2 GB RAM
GeForce 7800 GTX (connected with DVI to monitor)
Can it be that PhotoShop has problems with Aero Surface of Windows 7? Or with Windows 7 64 Bit?

I want to use Photoshop CS6 on a Multi - monitor setup, using iGPU multi-monitor + GPU system for 4 monitors.
Preiously, I used Photoshop on a Multi - monitor setup without useing iGPU multi-monitor.And, Photoshop worked well.
However, when I wanted to use 1 more monitor, my GPU supports only 3 monitors.Then, I enabled iGPU multi-monitor function. It supports 2 more monitors.
At first, It worked. But, after I use "Free transform", "Transform" or something like these tools, Photoshop hang up!

Is there a way or an option I am missing to convert my regular paths to a path stroked with a brush profile,while maintining the proper stroke width?
For instance, I have a regular line with a stroke of 5 and then add a brush profile, which then converts the original stroke to whatever the brush was made at.
