It sounds like at least one thing you were doing, using line work to fill enclosed shapes, might have been causing the lag you were seeing. There are definitely modes of drawing that created complexities in the drawing (the Draw team is looking at ways to simplify art as people draw, without affecting the final outcome). I am interested what you think of my take on this.


I do not know if this is related to others issues of lag, stumbling etc, but I am going to keep an eye on this factor as I continue with these drawings and see if this helps. I am thinking these fills that are created with a long touch inside these closed shapes are calculated more efficiently. I have a strong suspicion my thoughts on this are correct - that using essentially "lines" to fill in closed shapes is not the "right" way to do this.

NOTE: I stand corrected! YES! You can do fills for closed shapes in this app. Maybe these are taxing the hardware as they are continually being redrawn and calculated as the image is moved, turned and worked on. Now you can't use selections and fills as far as I know in this app so the "fills" are technically "lots of fat lines". I went ahead and deleted and then re-installed AI Draw.Īs I think about these drawings that are showing all these issues, they all have areas that have been "filled in". I verified all my mobile content was saved in the Adobe cloud. The thread is at: Re: 2018 CC apps running extremely slow on imac pro Nay "kicking up the chain" there at Adobe would be MUCH appreciated! There doesn't seem to be resolution so far. I know you are not Apple, but there has been a MAC OS update and updates to CC. If I am plunking down nine grand (in my case), I can't see keeping the computer if it's not going to really help performance. I will have only 14 days to decide if the price is worth it given the software I use ie: Adobe applications. People are reporting terrible performance and especially in AI it seems. I am frustrated with Adobe right now because I have, (like many others), an iMAC Pro about to come to my front door. They are just me practicing inking techniques like I said.

They are not anything I would ever distribute for copyright reasons. I see all my work when I log in but I am warned to export all my work if a reinstall is the recommendation. Not using capture shapes for these drawings. I put them on a layer and reduce their opacity to about 20% Then I practice inking them on a vector layer above. These drawings are of the same type: I have some old cartoons that are pixel based. It seems to be happening more and more on almost every drawing.
