i have a G5 dual and 3 Gig of RAM. why is my tablet making PS so sluggish? when i paint/erase (even a small area) it takes several seconds after i lift the pen before i can do my next edit. it's the only program running and the file only has three layers.
View 5 RepliesI'm looking to get a wacom tablet, but I'm not really sure what tablet it best for digital art and animation type stuff. I'll be using it with Photoshop CS6 and probably Toon Boom or some other animation software. I'm just not sure what the difference is between the tablets.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI do a lot of montage work in PSCS and have recently been using my Wacom tablet and boy do I love it, but have a question for those of you who use tablets.
When I'm doing a montage I use very soft brushes to merge the edges. With my Intuos pen, even though I use a large soft brush setting (same as the one I use with a mouse) I get very pen like lines, so I always end up switching to the mouse. Do I need to do something with either the pen settings or the way I use it, or should I be getting an "airbrush" for this kind of work.
I recently became a subscriber to the creative cloud as well as recently getting a wacom intuos 5. The problem is, my new photoshop cc, does not show that I have a pressure sensitve tablet.
Is there a new driver from adobe that I need to install? I checked the Wacom site and as far as I can tell I have the newest driver available. Also, I do have photoshop cs5.5 could these two versions of photoshop be causing a problem when it comes to the tablet?
regarding painting with my Wacom tablet.
When I use the brush tool in CS, it defaults to pressure effecting the brush size. I want the pressure to effect the opacity instead. I have looked all through my brush options, etc.
My Intuos 3 tablet and pen do not perform correctly using CS5. The same machine, using the same tablet and pen and the same brush, with CS3Â and Corel Painter function correctly so I am assuming it's CS5 that's the problem. The brush seems to set an anchor point where the pen first contacts the tablet, then no matter where you draw with the brush nothing happens until the pen is lifted, then a straight line is drawn from the anchor point to the point where the pen lifted. Problem is with CS5 x32 and x64 both. Happens every brush stroke. Mouse works fine. Reset the preference file. Upgraded drivers for the tablet. The machine is an HP, quad core processor, 8 GB ram, with an ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics card. The machine came loaded with Vista 64 and I upgraded to Windows 7 at the time I installed CS5.

I have sent an email into Waxom tech support regarding this and waiting to hear back.
View 1 Replies View RelatedVery light paint strokes on my Wacom Intuos 3 produce a full force stroke in CS4 every 3 to 15 strokes. Anybody else have this problem? This does not happen with CS2. Also, using the Wacom diagnostics, I can make endless light strokes and never see the pressure go above 16%. I'm using CS4 11.0.1, Wacom driver 6.1.1-3, Nvidia GeForce 6800 with drivers updated, Windows XP.

PS is not reacting to the sensitivity settings. I downloaded the latest Wacom drivers today and when I open the wacom control panel the setting show the pen sensitivity is working. In the PS brushes panel I have tried "shape" dynamics and "other" dynamics both set to "pen presure" and still no effect. I've tried adjusting the sliders from 0%, to 50% and 100% all with no effect. Also for some reason PS does not recognize the eraser. It just acts like the pen. Again, in the wacom control panel when I look at the eraser it recognizes it (doesn't resond if I use the pen side).
I have been using LR2 v2.6 along with wacom intuit 4 for several years. All of a sudden, several months ago, both started freezing up. In looking at the problem details it shows that the tablet.dll is unloaded.

I am trying to figure out how to get the wheel on the airbrush pen to do something like adjust occupancy for example but I cant get any wheel settings to work. I am not sure if gimp recognizes that its a different pen. Any airbrush pen or a pen with a wheel in gimp

Is it possible to assign a "grab" command to the button on the Wacom Intous 4 pen?
At the moment in Painter 12 and Artrage, if I hold down the button closest to the tip on the pen, then press the pen to the pad and drag, it will grab the canvas and allow me to move it around the screen. I cannot figure out how to set this up in Corel Draw X5
btw, its specifically Draw, not Photo Paint that I want to set this up in
The psd processor spins not stop until I pick up the wacom mouse and click on an adjacent layer then back to the layer I was working on. Then the wacom pen work with the brush tool. This seems to happen when every time I pick up the pen and go back to the brush tool.
View 7 Replies View Relatedi've two problems with Gimp 280
-first, the new brushes flow slower than before- already at 3000-1700 pixels, 300 dpi. Which are modest measures when you paint seriously. I've some delay pulling a sign with most of my brushes. (Btw, i checked with care my brush dynamics). Some hints of what I should set to get a faster/natural flow ?
-second, the zoom wheel of my wacom tablet is broken with the update to xQuartz 271. 'Never had this problem before-damn, zooming ist important. I worked out some workaround using modifier keys (on the tablet), but its never ever so precise as with the wheel.
specs: XQuartz 271, Gimp 281, Wacom driver 526-3, Mac Os 106-6
OS: Windows 7..I click on the PSCS5 button to start the program. The Photoshop.exe file briefly appears in Task Manager, then disappears. Nothing else happens. No error messages, no warnings, no nothing. I've uninstalled PS and reinstalled it. Trying to get the 12.0.4 patch installed, but since you're supposed to do it from inside the program, I can't run it.I just tried executing with Ctrl+Alt+Shift and it still doesn't want to come out and play.
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy problem lies in trying to load a Fred Miranda action in Photoshop.
When I follow these directions that came with the download...
Open Photoshop, go to the actions palette, on the top right of the palette,
click on the little triangle (delta) and from the menu choose “load action”.
Find where you downloaded the “HR v1.3.atn” file and click on load.
and try to open the folder I've downloaded the file into, there is nothing there. When I back out of Photoshop and go to this same folder (located in My Docs), the action is there along with all my other downloaded plugins.
I start up the program (Photoshop CS) the hand tool is selected. No matter what I try I can not select any other tools at all. I've been trying to self teach myself this program for about 6 months and I've never chosen to use the hand tool at all, so I never intentionally set anything to make it default or anything like that.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a number of pictures where background is dull or boring while subjects in foreground are lively. So I want to switch the background with lets say a plane color with some gradient to give it a studio appearence.
The first problem I have is to select the foreground subject sharply, much difficut because of hairline etc.
So how can I select my subject in the most easy way so that outlines are sharp & none of the details are missing.
I have been having an ongoing problem with Photoshop CS & CS2 on my HP laptop which runs XP Home.
Whenever I'm in Photoshop I can click "Copy" with no problem, however, the instant I click "Paste" - my laptop powers off instantly.
It does not happen in any other program (Excel, Word, Illustrator, etc) - only Photoshop.
The problem originally started when I had CS (yes,it was a legitimate version!). After buying CS2, I uninstalled CS and loaded the brand new legitimate copy of CS2,
I have photoshop CS installed on a G5. Photoshop was working fine, but now some of the default keyboard shortcuts are missing. The one I miss the most is (command, option ~) which should load a luminosity selection. But for some reason no longer works. I've tried reinstalling photoshop. I've tried reloading the keyboard shortcut defaults again. Maybe there is something wrong with my default shortcuts file? but I haven't been able to locate a source where I can download another. In any case i would have thought that the reinstalling the CS creative suite would have resolved the issue if the file was bad.
How do I check my keyboard driver? where is it? wher do i get another?
I have a weird problem with Photoshop CS. When I double-click on a tiff, jpeg, or Photoshop file it launches the program, but it won't open the image. In order to do that I must go to file and choose open. This is much more trouble. I can't figure out why. My photoshop guru friend couldn't figure out why. Any ideas?
Also, and this may or may not be related. When I open the program I get the following message: For Photoshop UI to display correctly, open System Preferences, click General, and turn off text smoothing for font sizes 8 and smaller.
The weird thing is, when I did what message suggested, I discovered that there was no "text smoothing" option to turn off under Preference (under General) in Photoshop. There is no General in the computer's System Preferences, so I'm assuming the message refers to Photoshop Preferences.
Yes, it's been well over a decade since I upgraded from my Wacom Intuos 2 pen/pad, but I think I've finally worn the thing into the grave. It had served me well, so I didn't see need to get any new versions--until now.

So my question is, what do you recommend as an upgraded improvement? There's newer models of the Intuos pad/pen and there's also Bamboo pad/pens. I'm an illustrator that colors my work in great detail exclusively on Phtotoshop so I'd love to get a pen/tablet that handles all daunting assignments. And because I'm an illustrator, I can't really afford a Cintiq tablet, so I guess an Intuos of Bamboo are my choices.
My ancient Intuos 2 pen still works so-so but it suddenly started delaying and I find I have to tap the pad with the pen to get the cursor to move in the area I want it to. I installed the Intuos 2 driver again but nothing's changed. Yep, time for new tools.
how to make my photshop application fast few days ago it was working good but now its performance is slow and my computers speed is also slow. How to fix it?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am working with "photoshop cs3" "windows ultimate vista" and an "wacom intuos 3" tablet and I experience heavy lags while drawing like the brush-strokes don't quite follow my moves, and I have to wait for them to catch up.
When I open a large file and I try to apply the first brush stroke on my drawing the cursor screen disappears for a while and photoshop is not responding. Then Photoshop comes back so the cursor and I can start to work. But as soon as I drag the page using the little Hand tool photoshop stops responding again for few more seconds and when it restarts I can hardly control the direction of my new brush strokes.
Apparently in order to restart the only remedy I found (by chance) is by toggling the layer visibility status (change a layer from visible to not and back to visible again). After this exercise I can draw in photoshop again! But of course same problems again as soon as I will use the hand tool and move on the screen again!
I just got my wacom intuos A5 USB a couple of days back and its working perfectly on my mac. No issues at all but I tried using it on my desktop and im having 2 major issues. 1. I have only "other dynamics" checked and opacity controlled by pen pressure. If i am making light strokes with the pen i get a few low opacity strokes is i should but I suddenly get a full pressure (100% opacity) stroke even though im hardly applying and pressure. These are sudden pressure spikes and are completely random. 2. The pen tilt is not working. I set color dynamics to pen tilt but the color doesn't change as i tilt the pen All this works perfectly on my mac so I know theres nothing wrong with the tablet but how do I solve these issues. Im hoping someone here will help me out. P.S. - I have an Intel 2.5 Quad Core, gigabite Mother board, 4gb ram, nvidia GeForce 6600GT - 256mb. I also have a beetel router connected to my desktop.
