If you find android/iOS apps that can show the PC's display video stream on a tablet, and if you have a LEAP, give it a try and let us know how it goes.Īccording to a survey posted by Wacom sometime in April, they are working on a Design Tablet with either Asus or Samsung (both were mentioned in the survey). Though I don't have any tablets to try it on. I'm already set on that one (preorder, yay!) and will let you know as soon as I can work with it. Of course, any good display that can be inclined low enough (or maybe any display if you use aisles I draw on the table with my head down :/ ) would work perfectly with the LEAP. Then the tablet only has to display whatever is on the PC's display in real time, but I don't of know any apps for that. In other words, if you have a high-res tablet (like the new non-mini iPads, although that might be a bit small for graphic design) you can use the LEAP as the pointing/stylus with pressure/speed/rotation/etc capabilities and the tablet as the display.

They say that it doesn't directly support tablets or smartphones but, with at least some sort of manual calibration, it can easily be set to work on inclined planes/displays (even horizontal ones) with custom sizes, disregarding the main monitors's size/distance/inclination. Even though the dark interface looks kind of cool. Perhaps I should just wear shades instead?Īnyway, I hope this will help someone with the same problem out there.Although not a straightforward solution - not sure it will work, but hoping - there's the LEAP Motion Controller. I’m still not convinced if it’s worth upgrading for me – CS5 does what I need right now.

I’m extremely happy that Photoshop CC is at least workable for me during my fading trial days. I guess time is moving on, and my machine is now over two years old. Jeff also said that the Intel Graphics 3000 HD card is now one of the “lower end” cards they support. Here’s a screenshot of what you’re looking for: Click to enlarge On the Mac, you can find Preferences under the Photoshop menu. A little onscreen message that this is necessary would be helpful methinks.
I had tried this trick before, but the changes do no take effect until you RESTART Photoshop. After investigating, he suggested the following: The Solution: Using less Hardware AccelerationĪfter posting my woes on the Photoshop Facebook Page, Jeff very kindly got back to me and requested all kinds of system information from my setup. Still, CS5 doesn’t have this problem – so why would CC be such a sourpuss about my setup? It kind of makes sense too: the graphics card can only move so many pixels at a time, and god only knows what they’ve done under the hood in CC in regards to performance improvements. I unplugged my big monitor and drew a few strokes on my small screen with Photoshop CC – and hey presto: NO MORE BRUSH LAG!! She writes about this and a very different solution on her blog. I don’t use the small builtin screen, but of course it’s still there, albeit not doing anything.Īngela, the original poster, uses a Cintiq – which really is a second monitor. In my case that’s a 27″ Thunderbolt Display attached to a poor MacBook Pro. Then it hit me: the one thing most Graphic Designers are using is a dual screen setup.
I mean really, what has changed in CC other than an additional filter and the splash screen?Ĭould it be the Wacom driver? Or perhaps the Graphics Card Driver? Even though they were the latest versions, I’ve tried to unplug everything I could think of – but nothing helped.
My computer was well enough specced for most things I do, and given that CS5 doesn’t lag at all I thought it can’t really be my hardware.
Since nobody had a solution at hand, it was time to do some digging at my end. Let me share with you what worked for me, perhaps it works for you too. Yesterday, a lovely representative from the Photoshop Facebook Page got in touch with me and offered help and advice – and ultimately solved my problem. I was glad to hear I was not alone – yet nobody had a solution to this problem. One user in particular had this problem too, and many more chipped in on a forum thread over at the Adobe Forums and the (now defunct). Shocked, perplexed, dissatisfied and smiling to myself, I consulted Google. I wasn’t using a complicated brush either, just a bog standard 20 pixel soft edge brush without any Blending Options. My stroke was lagging behind by about a second or more until it appeared on the screen. So I’ve installed CC, marvelled at the new look and the 3D tools, made a brush stroke on a new canvas and… what the hell is that?
#HOW TO USE PHOTOSHOP WITH TOUCH SCREEN UPGRADE#
I wasn’t sure if the upgrade was for me or if I should stick with my trusty copy of Photoshop CS5 (which by the way I own and can use forever and a day, without a monthly license fee… but that’s another matter). Back in 2013 I was trying out the then-new Photoshop CC for 30 days.
