Quote:When I simply try to move an image after selecting it, it lags behind my cursor. In addition, when I use the foreground select tool, it takes around 10 seconds to show the preview. I am surprised about these performance issues because I have a capable system. Ryzen 4900, rtx 2060, 16gb ram.
Not a common issue but has been reported in the past. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/4979 with no real solution that I can see.
Is there any other hardware to consider ? Are you using 4K monitor or a dual monitor setup ? I have seen laggy cursor reported with 4K monitor and Windows.
You could post another bug report.
GPU The option to enable opencl is now in the playground section. A screenshot here: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Gimp-o...7#pid23657
Some reports I see say Gimp is actually slower with GPU enabled.
