> Also, brush rendering is notably slower than 2017 > Does 'brush rendering' mean you're seeing the brush view lag when drawing? What types of brushes, what size? A random selection of mine at various sizes doesn't appear to be lagging, but perhaps if I tried the types of brushes you're using at the sizes you're using? I'm on a Mac running El Capitan. I've tried on both the old machine that I normally use for this, and the much faster, newer laptop, and it seems to feel to me to be about the same as 2017, if not a bit more responsive. Purely subjective, though.
Hey Cristen, You may notice it more if you try it side by side in 2017 & 2018? As far as the brush lag, it is not happening consistently for me so I can't name the issue yet. It's not layer size or anything as I've tried the same file in both 2017 and 2018 and it's fantastic in 2017 and annoying in 2018, and it isn't the amount of smoothing either. But currently it's working fine.
