Slow brush on Photoshop CS4

Long stroke is ok. Short strokes quickly iterated shows considerably slow. It is also seen with simple Pencil tool.

Well, I only see myself using the Cintiq, if ever, for lineart, and that can be done slowly for accuracy, so the only time the lag would really be bothersome is during a quick sketch.

Also, is there any pen pressure with the Cintiq? I saw none on the vid.

I agree. But it's strange that my slower laptop does not have such lag.

pen pressure: I used the lightest 'pencil' tool to show that the lag is not because brush is heavy.

Are you using a Cintiq tablet ? The 21 or the 12 size ?

Anyway, quickly iterated lines have been very difficult (if not impossible) to make correctly on both tablets i had (Intuos A4 and Cintiq 12wx) :(

[refeia]

I use 21inch Cintiq, and I've been confirmed that this problem appears with my intuos2 tablet.

Oh and is the glove thing on your hand used for traditional art so that you won't smudge anything?

[refeia]

Its winter and cold !

And the glove helps me sliding my hand smoothly.

when i bought mine i had the same problem,and thought that my cintiq was broken. but then i realized that when i used another programs like paint tool sai , or intel core painter, the pen speed was alright. so is not the cuntiq, is photoshop the problem.

OMG all I can do is laugh. Those guys at Adobe are clearly getting lazy.

thanks for your fast answer! i had the latest update for cs5 64bit, now i also updated the 32bit version. i thought maybe there is some connection. however, it had no effect.

i tried out all the advanced settings.. if i bring the dropdown menu to the "basic" setting it works fine. every other setting leads to lagging when using the tablet.

I use a HP i7 Q720, 4Giga Ram with a GeForce GT230 - Win7 Home

Do you know what functions of PS are no longer aviable when disabling OpenGL?

@PoetOfLove69Kavi

If after installing the new update with OpenGL enabled you still have performance issues/slow brush then disable OpenGL again...

But if you already have the 12.0.3 update installed then just ignore this message :-)

I found that OpenGL provides some good features when it's enabled, although you can use Photoshop without OpenGL some features will be disabled.

Try this:

Enable OpenGL Again, then download the 12.0.3 Update, which is the latest update for Photoshop CS5:

GOOGLE: "Adobe Photoshop 12.0.3 update for Adobe Photoshop CS5"

and open the first link.

"...The Adobe Photoshop 12.0.3 update fixes a number of high priority bugs including painting performance and type-related issues..."
