Photoshop CC 2018: Healing and Spot Healing Brush Lag
In most recent 2018 update, healing and spot healing brush have become much less responsive, sometimes taking multiple seconds after completion of stroke to affect the image.
Late 2016 Macbook, up to date OS and Software
I've done the regular things like turning off OpenCL and changing other performance options... no change.
GIF framerate is sped up 2x

Can you take a look at your console log to see if the OS or Photoshop is reporting anything there? Also, it would be worth looking at activity monitor to see if PS CC 2018 is using more CPU when using those tools compared to previous versions. Thanks.

Back to the clone tool in the meantime. Hope there is a fix for this. Wouldn't have updated if I had known of the slowdown...
On OS 10.2.6 and have restarted after installation.

I had problems with the Healing Brush until I trashed my Prefs and rebooted the computer.

Ironically the healing brush in Lightroom that I have complained about being too slow and unusable for years is now faster and more usable than the one in Photoshop! (though still no wear near good enough for Adobe to brag about it as an improvement the way they have been, it's still poor).
I've hit the Me Too button - and hope they can fix this soon I have hundreds of macro shots of micro chips to work through and although they were cleaned extensively every spec of dust on the product looks huge!

Well whatever fixed it did not last, just a couple of hours use and it's now as bad as it ever was - Looks like its something Adobe broke and I can't fix it!!! I'm so far behind now this is now costing me money.
