Photoshop :: Random Pressure While Using CS6 On Cintiq 21UX
May 27, 2013
I just bought PS CS6 and I am experiencing a problem where I get random full-pressure strokes while using the brush tool. I have been doing a lot of research into this but have not found a solution yet.
I am using a Cintiq 21UX on a Windows 7 machine. While I am drawing with the brush tool, I will get a random stroke that is at full pressure, as if I was using the mouse. It doesn't seem to be related to how fast I am sketching, or what kind of brush, eraser, tool etc I am using.
Photoshop CS6 is the only program on my computer that has this issue.I have tried every single driver available on the wacom site.My GPU is compatible with CS6 (GeForce 200 series) and I have the most recent drivers.I have tried resetting the brush tool.I have 'shape dynamics' turned on.

when using Photoshop CS the lines are not smooth even when I use a ruler etc....have used a tablet for years so it's not practise but the software or something?.....I do have smooth enabled in the Brush Dialog box so that's not the problem. When I sketch in Alias Sketchbook Pro and Corel Painter IX the lines are perfect and smooth.......Anybody have a similar problem and a solution.....
I have already turned off double-click distance and have the latest Wacom Cintiq driver version 6.05 installed
My operating system is Windows XP service pack 2

I bought a Wacom cintiq 22hd online and before it arrived I imagined before it came that all I would have to do is plug it in and install the software and that would be it but no....
This turned out to be a real nightmare to use, first after I finished calibrating the tablet this annoying loading circle kept appearing around the point every time I tried to draw something, Then after I had been able to fix it from running around the internet looking for solutions the pressure sensitive feature stopped working I looked around again to find a solution and people were saying update the driver software and I did then after rebooting my machine it no longer works and every time i tried to view the tablet settings it kept saying "THE TABLET DRIVER WAS NOT FOUND"
I had to uninstall the driver and recalibrate it and the pressure sensitive feature still isn't working. Personally I think this is complete BS I can't understand why Wacom a highly regarded company would delibratelly make their tablets more complicated to use than they need to be, I really am clueless as to what I can do to fix this I don't think reinstalling the "WacomTablet_635-3" driver software. What I can do I am using Windows 7 64 bit
Well because i went to the wacom forum site to try and get some answers but when I went to go sign up for an account it kept saying that my criteria was invalid even though it wasn't another reason to loose faith in Wacom and their useless business structure and unuseful customer support.

In Photoshop CS6 (64bit), when using the brush tool (with a brush with pressure sensitivity activated), I quite often get a line drawn at the max width selected, as if there was no pressure sensitivity. Everything goes back to normal after I start drawing another line, and happens again after a few lines. It's quite random.
I don't have this problem in any other software (Illustrator CS6 64bit, Painter XII, Sketchbook Pro, Zbrush, ...). I have already checked and I've found some other users on other forums with the same problem.
One example, with a picture of the problem: [URL] Another one, exact same problem: [URL] Some of those users seem to have solved their problem by installing an old driver (6.1.5r3), but they had that problem with Intuos TABLETS in the first place, not a Cintiq 24HD... I have tried that, but unfortunately the driver is not compatible with the Cintiq 24HD.
To test this out: I've been able to reproduce the problem 90% of the times I've tried. if I keep the pen at 1 inch from the display so that it's still recognized by the screen but it's not drawing, then wiggle it a bit, and then I slowly move to the screen and tap it (as if I was starting a line with very low pressure), the problem appears and it makes a large dot, as if there was no pressure sensitivity. As I said the test doesn't work every time, but almost.
This is an image of what happens when I try and make dots in Photoshop. These are done trying to push the pen with the same (low) pressure. The big ones are from when the issue appears: [URL]
I have tried the pressure test in the Wacom utility software and it seems to work fine, it never jump to full even when I try the method I've just described. In the diagnostic page of the Wacom utility software the pressure is always correct, even when in Photoshop there's the brush sensitivity issue.
note: I've already tried to completely re-install my computer + the Adobe software + the lastest wacom driver for my Cintiq 24HD, and the problem is still the same.

Ever since I upgraded Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 a few days ago, my pen pressure randomly changes to the default brush stroke in CS6 Extended. I am using a Wacom Intuous 5 Tablet with a wireless kit.
My pen pressure works perfectly fine in CS5, Paint Tool Sai, and Painter 12, but I am most comfortable with CS6 and really do not want to bounce between programs.
Reset my Photoshop Preferences using ctrl+shift+alt
Completely uninstalled and reinstalled the newest driver (Driver 6.3.7-5) as well as tried using older drivers.
Unistalled everything relating to Wacom on my computer and reinstalling.
Tried disabling Mouse settings through Device Manager.
Turned off/on Windows Ink.
Changed pen nibs.
Changed USB ports.
Removed My and All User Preferences using the Tablet Preference Utility
Turned off Flicks and changed Double Tap and Press and Hold settings.
I contacted Wacom and their response was:
"If the pressure sensitivity is just fine with the Tablet Diagnostics then you will need to contact Adobe."
About the only thing I have not done is unistalled/reinstalled CS6, which I am nervous to do because I no longer have my physical copy and as far as I can tell, it is only available to download through CC.

My tablet is a new Wacom Cintiq Companion with a Windows 8 platform, which I recently got Photoshop Elements 12 for. I use this software mainly for drawing. When I first started using the software everything was fine, but somewhere along the line I noticed that it would randomly loose pressure sensitivity. This occurs more often when I am making short strokes or sketching. I have experimented with other software that I have on my tablet, and am fairly certain that it is a Photoshop Elements problem. It impairs not only drawing but also writing notes.
I tested it out by making a bunch of short lines in a row, and found that it will also sometimes connect two strokes with a straight line (while loosing pressure sensitivity) for no apparent reason. This happens especially while I am writing notes. I also discovered that if I make enough small strokes it will sometimes loose pressure sensitivity entirely. However if I leave the program alone for a couple of minutes and then come back, everything is back to normal.
My tablet is a fairly new model, so I wonder if it is a compatibility issue of some sort (I am only guessing and have no knowledge of problems like this).

I am getting ready to bite the bullet for a Wacom Cintiq 21 ux or wx. But I am unsure as to what the current consensus (if any) is relative to the normal or wide screen.
I currently have a 3 monitor system with a 21 inch wide screen in the center surrounded by two 19 inch screens.
has anyone heard of any other models Wacom may come out with?

I've recently bought a Cintiq 24 HD screen tablet to work on digital art, but after getting it installed, when opening any Photoshop version, it crashes immediately.
I'm using Windows 7 updated properly, and also tried several Cintiq 24HD drivers. The versions that crash are CS5 , CS5.1 and CS6. The rest of adobe programs work just fine, but Photoshop shows a "Photoshop had an error and must be closed" message as soon as it boots.I cannot even see the interface.
Also, don't know if it serves as reference, but the video player VLC started crashing exactly in the same way as Photoshop, after installing the Cintiq. Strange that one of the best devices is crashing with one of the programs that are actually intended for.

I consider myself to be an advanced Photoshop and computer user. I have worked with Photoshop for several years on a daily basis as a concept and texture artist.
Whenever I draw in Photoshop on either my Cintiq or Intuos4 I experience some rendering lag of my brush strokes. I can draw a line and it takes sometimes about 1 second for it to appear on the screen. The problem is quite frequent and appears on a regular basis. It is quite an annoyance since it kills the illusion of drawing on "paper" and hinders me somewhat from being creative since I have to think of how I draw rather than having my pen being an extension of myself. I have tried everything from resetting Photoshop back to default by holding down CTRL+ALT+SHIFT before startup, but the problem did not disappear. I have also tried to increase and decrease the performance settings under preferences, but it had no positive effect. All my software's and drivers are uptodate and I have consulted Wacom about this issue as well and they say it cannot have anything to do with the drivers since they haven't heard of this issue before. It cannot have anything to do with that the brush I am using is too heavy and is therefore slow to render because even the most basic brushes are slow at times.
I usually work on bigger files with a pixel dimension of 3840x2160@300dpi to 5760x3240@300dpi. I have used the same dimensions for years but never had a problem on for example my laptop, which has only a Dual Core Processor with 4 GB Ram, the only thing the laptop has going for it is the graphics card which is a Nvidia Quadro card. But since it is about 4½ years old, I do not think it is any better than my current graphics card which I have in my stationary PC.

Operating System: Windows 7
Photoshop CS6
DirectX runtime version: 11

Everything listed above is up-to-date!

I have upgraded to Windows 8 using Adobe Photoshop CS6 (latest Dec update). I have the latest Wacom drivers installed (Nov1) and Photoshop does not respond to pinch to zoom and rotate and it recognizes my hand touching the screen as pen input when using the pen at the same time. Even without the pen I can draw with my finger. Others have reported this under Windows 7 as well. I have an iPad, I don't need this 4K screen to work like an iPad!
This did not happen with older wacom drivers and Windows 7. I need to know how long I am going to have to wait before Adobe acknowledges the problem and when to expect a fix for this. All of us with Photoshop and Wacom Cintiq 24 HD Touch are screwed at the moment. Most other programs are working correctly with both touch and pen (i.e. Painter 12.2, Sketchbook Pro, etc). Most users are resorting all the way back to CS3 with older drivers or turning off Touch input all together to get the pen to work.

I'm using:
- Windows 7 Premium 64-bit with Service Pack 1
- Intel i7-267OQM 2,2 Ghz CPU
- Nvidia GeForce GT 635M 2GB
- 8GB RAM
- Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 64-bit
- on an ASUS N55S Laptop
My new Wacom Cintiq 13HD runs just fine while just browsing on the internet, with Adobe Illustrator (so far...) and Easy Paint Tool SAI.But everytime I open my Photoshop it's just some minutes before my system freezes for a second, than blue screen appears.
I tried all drivers Wacom has available but it still happens. I updated my Adobe Softwares, my BIOS, my graphic card, I restarted countless times,but nothing seems to work.

Setup: Windows 7, CS5, CIntiq 24HD
I just bought a Cintiq 24HD and tested it in Photoshop CS5. Unfortunately the lines are jagged. (I'm using the brushtool and on my wacom intous 3 everything was fine.) This only appears in PS, Painttool Sai is fine and has great line quality.
At first I thought it might be the second monitor, as this was mentioned in forums, but I moved and unplugged it and nothing happend. I tried other solutions as well like unabeling windows tablet components etc.

I'm using Photoshop CS5 Extended 64bit (12.0.4) on Win7 Professional (64 bit) and recently have had an issue using my Cintiq 12WX tablet in that using the brush with the tablet (whether I'm using the tablet as the monitor, or my laptop as the monitor) causes Photoshop to crash, usually within the first 30 seconds of usage. This has become so regular that I expect it to crash and no longer can trust it to use, but at the same time I depend on its use to get work done, so an expedient solution is absolutely necessary.
Does not crash if I use brush with a mouse, but that's not exactly a solution either, as you can imagine. I have been using this tablet with this Photoshop for a long time without incident, and I can think of no changes to the system I've made in the period when this began happening.
All drivers for the Cintiq are current.The entirety of the crash report reads as follows:
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Application Name: Photoshop.exe
Application Version: 12.0.4.0
Application Timestamp: 4d9d8f8e

Sometimes I work offstie, so no wacom tablet with me. How can I spray sparkles/dust/etc and vary aspects randomly such as size? Even with the wacom would like more random results, than gradated.
I really like how illustrator does this with sliders so you can set a range. Can I set up something simlar in Photoshop?

I updated my Mac and everything was fine until i had to restart it. My Photoshop's keyboard short cut became all random like this:I tried restarting my computer again but it has not changes.
The most weird part is that when i tried to change the short-cuts, it won't work even though i clicked on accept and "ok". Is there a way i can turn this back? It wasn't like this when i first got this back at November.

I am having a problem with my brush/stamp/eraser tool in photoshop CS5.5. Whenever I click to paint, erase..etc it will sometimes randomly paint elsewhere on my photo. Sometimes it will paint just one spot or other times it will paint a whole line or squiggle across my photo. I have checked my brush settings and I don't have anything turned on for it to do so (i.e. scattering, shape dynamics, spacing).

The blocks are seemingly random and happen unexpectedly. What's worse is they become permanently incorporated into my file, thus destroying my work.Note that you can see the blocks have become part of both the art on the layers as well as the masks.
I'm working on a 27" iMac 3.1 GHz Intel Core i5 with 8GB of 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM, using Photoshop 14.1 x64. I have seen some reports about possible video driver errors associated with this model, This is a Photoshop-only problem as far as I can tell. I do believe I encountered this in Photoshop CS5 at one point as well.

I've used Photoshop CS6 Extended Edition for over a year on my current laptop (specs below), but now it just crashes at random points. I get the message 'Photoshop has stopped working' and then I can only close it. I didn't change any settings. First I thought it happened because I also had Visual Studio open (also uses alot ram etc), but even after I closed it and did a reboot Photoshop kept crashing :'(
My specs are:
Pc: Dell latitude D630 86x
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.20Ghz
Graphics: Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family
Os: Windows 8 Pro
Ram: 2Gb
I know it isn't the best you can get but first I could use Photoshop without any problems.
Edit: I have updated all my drivers and it still won't work.

I'm creating a landscape plan, and I would like a method for creating leaves on the trees. I can draw an initial leaf and copy it, but then I'm confronted with the tedious task of resizing, rotating, and pasting them onto the tree hundreds of times over. I know that in some drawing programs, there's a random spray tool that allows you to continuously paste a selection at random points within a given radius. Is there a tool like that in Photoshop, preferably something that also randomly modifies the size and rotation of the selection?
