I have a Genius MousePen 6x8 and use Photoshop CS5.1. It's been a while since I used my tablet, but it used to work before. I rebooted my computer a while ago, so I installed the new driver from the Genius website. The tablet is working fine, even the pen pressure, but for some reason it just won't work in Photoshop. I've tried to fix it by resetting the Photoshop settings by using the Ctrl+Shift+Alt, I've reset the brush tool, I've played around with the brush options and nothing has worked.
I was using my brush with pen pressure, but now its not working!! I have no clue how that happened either!!I keep trying to apply the pen pressure to the brush tool, but it doesn't show that there is any sensitivity to the brush! :OI don't think its the tablet that is acting up, cause it seems to be working normal.So I have no clue whats wrong with it!! I don't have to change the size jitter tho right? Cause I never had to before.I had put in the control box at the top that I wanted to have pen pressure so that couldn't be the problem either.I tried resetting the menus, and then setting the pallets back to defult,
Whilst drawing in either photshop or SAI, the pen pressure sensitivity would just randomly fail and draw solid thick lines as if drawn with the mouse.See image:
What I also learned, is that once the pressure sensitivity falls out, it doesn't recover until I lift the pen away from the tablet, and then back again, as seen in the following pic:Sometimes it would fail on the 2nd brush stroke, others on the 100th. It's completely random. Â What I have tried to fix the problem: Â Complete removal of drivers and Bamboo dock, then fresh install from the bundled disc. Complete removal of drivers and Bamboo dock, then fresh installation from the lates driver download (PenTablet_532-1) Updated nVidia drivers. Updated motherboard drivers. Tried differnet USB ports.
I just upgraded to CS6 from Photoshop 7, which is a huge leap, I know. In PS7 I was able to vary my pen pressure simply by clicking the little box that said 'simulate pressure'. While CS6 has all the same steps, and even has the same little box, the simulate pressure doesn't work (I'm using the standard round brush).
I have gone to brush settings and activated shape dynamics, but that did absolutely nothing. I read a few other discussions that mentioned tablets. I don't have a tablet and don't really plan on getting one any time soon. I never needed one, and with my budget, I really can't afford one; hence why I jumped from PS7 to CS6, took a long time to save all the money. Â I can use my simulate pressure option without getting a tablet.
I recently bought a Gateway M280 tablet laptop, and it works great. The pen pressure works with the default painting programs, but for Photoshop (7) and Painter, the pen pressure won't work at all. Even after I toggle the brush settings.
I have just purchased a Microsoft Surface Pro in anticipation of running Photoshop on it. I installed Photoshop and tried to do some sketches. I created a new file and started sketching. I Immediately felt like something was wrong. I checked my brush settings and saw the pressure sensitivity was not available. Everytine I tried to turn it on it was marked with an exclamation point.  Does Adobe is supporting the new pressure sensitive pen from microsoft, or if there is some sort of setting that I am missing? I have tried sketchbook pro 2011, and that works amazingly well with the pen.Â
I have a Wacom Intuos 3 tablet, photoshop CS6 and Windows 7. The pressure sensitivity of my tablet won't work anymore. Roughly, it said to uninstall my wacom driver, unplug the tablet, reboot, install driver, plug in the tablet and reset my preferences in photoshop. I've done this last night and it worked, I was thrilled but it was late, was exhausted,When I turned it back on and went in photoshop this morning it didn't work anymore, pressure sensitivity was gone again. I get this little warning in my brush settings when I try to put it on Pen Pressure or tilt or other setting that requires pressure sensitivity, The only way I can get it to work is with the process I mentioned (uninstalling driver, unplugging tablet, rebooting etc...) but I'd need to do this every time I shut down my computer and that's a bit of a pain..I've also tried installing different drivers, the latest one first, when that didn't work I tried older ones to see if it would make a difference to no avail.
I have PSE 11. When working with the Bloat or Pucker tools in the Liquify filter, the Brush Pressure option fades to gray; the only slider I can actually change is the Brush Size. The problem seems to have started about three weeks ago on my old laptop, which was due to be replaced in any case. I've since purchased a new laptop and have done a full install of PSE 11 on it from the original disks - but the problem still persists.
I am using GIMP 2.8, and the brush dynamics do not seem to work. Whenever I use Pressure/Opacity, no matter how hard or light I press, nothing happens to the opacity.
I tested my tablet's pressure sensitivity using the built in pressure test. Everything seems fine. It works fine with Photoshop CS2, but I want to use GIMP.
Everything seems fine when I use Speed/Size & Opacity.
I want to create some custom parts, but before I can even get that far, every time I create a new pipe it doesn't work in cad. I want PVC at the end of the day, but I tried to create 3" ductile iron with all the same options as the other pipes in the catalog and it won't draw in CAD. It will let me add the pipe size to the parts list and I can select it when I try to draw the pipe, but when I click in the drawing it goes to 0,0 and won't add any pipes to the drawing.
I have desktop PC with optical mouse photoshop CS5 when I try to use pen pressure feature of brush, I got a pale trangle beside said " require pressure sensitive tablet"..So; can I use the pen pressure feature?
When drawing with the brush or the clone stamp brush now and then strokes are drawn at full pressure even though that is not the case. The next strokes are ok again for a while and then again... a few strokes like they there was no pen pressure. Very annoying when retouching masks.
I already installed the latest Wacom driver but no joy.
What else could I try?
My graphics card doesn't have OpenGL capacities so I don't think that's the problem or could it?
Also CS4 is much slower than CS3 in updating the screen. Related?
I am a long time user of Photoshop (since 2.5) but I think CS4 will be the first upgrade
I will skip although I love the new adjustments and masks panels...
Windows XP Pro, 4 Gigs of Ram, Matrox Millenium card, plenty of sratch disk space.
I like to use the pen pressure option to get those interesting lines for art with the pen tool. I've been using like that for years. But today, my computer is telling me I can't use this option without a tablet. I'm very confused. Even a couple days ago I could select that option with no problem
I'm on a Mac, 10.6.8 and PS CS5 12.0.4 with a Wacom Intuos3. Â I select a hard round brush and turn off the Transfer > Opacity Jitter > 'pen pressure' option. However as soon as I thouch the tip of my pen down pen pressure turns back on. This is annoying when trying to do a detailed cutout in a layer mask as it leaves behind opaque areas that aren't always visible right away. Â Even if I create a new preset with pen pressure off, it comes back on once saved. There must be a way to turn off pen pressure while using the Wacom tablet. Am I missing something?
I didn't see this in an internet search, but after using camera raw CS6 for a while with a tablet, I assume there's no pen pressure options with the adjustment brush? (Just checking.) Â Also, I can ctrl-0 to fit-to-screen but what about jumping to 100% zoom? ctrl-1 doesn't seem to achieve this. Are there any similar shortcuts or scripts to achieve this?
I have had a pen pressure tablet for some time now. I have just bought a new PC and even though the tablet is installed and works okay, it is not registering the pressure sensitive function in PS. In the brush menu, under shape dynamics, where the drill down box for selecting the pen pressure option, there is a little yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in it ( it's actually grey but turns yellow when you mouse over it). Â Do I have to change some settings in the preferences or 'load' the tablet into PSÂ ? I didn't have to on the last machine; it was "plug and play".
I am having problems with my brushes in Photoshop CS4. Everything was fine till recently. I use XP on a PC. I am using a wacom tablet and the brush sensitivity is not working in Photoshop CS4. When I go to the brush drop down or the brush palatte, the brushes are not pressure sensitive for opacity or size as they should be. Yet I have pen pressure selected in shape dynamics & other dynamics. I tried in CS3 which I also have installed and it works fine there and I can use the pen pressure. I spoke with wacom and we updated the driver. Adobe said to reinstall CS 4 which I did…and I still have the problem. BTW, there is a gray exclamation mark next to the shape and other dynamics control drop down window. No one seems to know exactly what this means.I assume it isn't the wacom driver or hardware, as it works fine in CS3. It makes sense to me that the problem is with CS4, but I still have it after reinstalling. Any ideas. I have talked to wacom and adobe multiple times and can't get this resolved.
I have a Calcomp DrawingBoard lll with pressure sensitive stylus which works fine in other applications like Painter 11 but loses its pressure capabilities in CS4 (both AI and PS). The stylus behaves like a mouse but in shape dynamics the pen pressure settings show a warning sign and in AI they are grayed out. It performed correctly in CS3.
I recently bought a Dell XT tablet PC which uses N-trig Technology (instead of Wacom). I can't seem to get the brush tool to recognize pen pressure or tilt. How can this be resolved?
I'm trying cs4 TRIAL. And I get bad steps (look by the arrows) when LETTING GO of pen pressure. Normal?
NOTICE!! Both are drawn at 25%spacing which I want, because the pressure gets easier to control. http://tinyurl.com/6nlqop [img]http://tinyurl.com/6nlqop[/img]
I've just started using CS4 and the pen pressure when drawing using my wacom tablet seems to be sporadic at best.
It doesn't matter what brush size I pick, when I start drawing, however lightly, the brush will frequently, and it appears randomly, just draw a line to its full thickness. It's annoying because it sort of responds to the pen pressure but then will just suddenly stick a big thick line in for no reason.
Things I have already tried to fix this:
•adjusting the flow %
•playing with the pen presure slidey bar in brush menu/ shape dynamics
•adjusting the pen sensitivity in the wacom tablet setup.
What's really annoying is have been using my tablet with photoshop 5 for years and it's worked perfectly. CS4 seems to be quite buggy though. It crashed today after telling me something about gpu enhancements (?) and zooming using the wacom slider sometimes decides not to work.
Even through all other applications on my PC were able to respond to tablet pen pressure, CS4 running in Vista 64-bit did not. I was able to get the pressure to work when executing the 32-bit photoshop.exe found in C:Program Files (x86)AdobeAdobe
Photoshop CS4Photoshop.exe. I'll continue to use the 32-bit program until Adobe solves this in the 64-bit version.
It was good of Adobe to automatically install both a 32-bit and a 64-bit version of the program.
when i have a low optimicty on and when i click on the picture with the paint tool all is fine but if i click again it goes darker, then darker again if i click again? i know this is normal but, can i stop it?
I'm using CS2 and a Wacom pressure sensitive graphics tablet that's about ten years old. I've noticed that the pen's pressure sensitivity only works on brushes that have a hardness control slider. I would love to use the smudge tool with certain brushes but I can't because most of the brush shapes don't have pressure sensitivity with the Wacom pen, Is this normal? Is there any way to get all my brushes to have pressure sensitivity with my Wacom pen?
I've just bought Sony Vaio Duo 11 i7 edition with Windows 8 Pro, but I found pen pressure isn't working on neither Photoshop CS5.0.4 or Photoshop Elements 10, while its pen pressure works on Fresh Paint and Artrage 3.5.5.
Photoshop suddenly stopped recognizing pen pressure from my tablet yetsterday. I'm using a Wacom Bamboo Connect tablet on a Windows 8 computer with Photoshop CS6 Â I've tried:
1. uninstalling the drivers 2. checking wintab files were gone from system32 and sysWOW64 3. restarting 4. reinstalling drivers 5. checking new wintab files are present 6. restarting
I updated photoshop (and repeated those 5 steps), reinstalling the drivers as an admin, reset the paintbrush tool, but no matter what I do, when I go to the Shape Dynamics option in Photoshop, I get the triangle with the exclamation point telling me that I need a pressure sensitive tablet.
I've tried plugging the tablet in and then opening photoshop.I've tried opening Photoshop and then plugging in the tablet.I updated the drivers for all of the hardware on my computer. Â I've tried the pressure sensitivity in two other (non Adobe) programs and it works there, so it doesn't seem like a problem with the tablet itself.
I just recently upgraded to Photoshop CS6 and for a while everything was fine. Then for no reason that I can see, the pen pressure recognition for my tablet simply stopped working. It literally was working one day and then stopped the next. Â I am using a WACOM Intuos2 tablet, and have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers for it many times to see if that was the problem. I have rebooted after each successful uninstall and reinstall, with zero effect. I have tried other USB ports with no effect. The tablet software recognizes the pressure when I run a diagnostic, it simply does not work in Photoshop. I realize the tablet is an older model but I can't imagine it is incompatible with Photoshop CS6. Â I have made certain everything is up to date, including Photoshop, Windows 7 32bit, any hardware drivers and my tablet driver.
