Is there a setting where you set the sensitivity of the pen?
On my pen and its software i have it on the most sensitive setting. In things such as Windows Paint or drawing online, it works very well. However, when I try to draw in photoshop CS3 for the mac, i have to press down so hard that it starts to grind down the pen. Now the settings I were using were:
100% opacity, a brush about 2 px as hard as it can be.
I am using a Samsung Windows 8 700T1C tablet PC which has a WACOM digitized screen.
When I use Photo and Graphic Designer 9, I can use my digitizer pen to select tools and menu items, but when I try to use it to draw ing the freehand tool, the pencil icon appears on the screen but no lines appear !
All the other apps I have, such as Inkscape work fine. I have pressure sensivity enabled.
Drawing with the mouse works fine.
I had to restore my laptop to factory settings, which means I needed to re-install GIMP too. So I went to download GIMP on the site, and 2.8 was the only version there so I went for it. Installed my tablet too, with driver. GIMP recognizes the tablet, but whenever I try to draw, I get a semi see-through line, instead of a bold one - and there is no change in this when I change the pressure on the pen. When I used it before, it always changed the opacity of the brush in accordance with the pressure on the pen. But I don't know how to change this in GIMP now?

Since this tool needs you to double click to end a curve I always get curves with added nodes to the ends (it's impossible to do a double-click with a pen without moving the pen between the two clicks.
The only workaround that I found is to move away the pen from the screen far enough so that you can press the space bar to end the curve without extra nodes. But this is really extra gymnastic for your arm... and quite annoying while you try to get the job done in few minutes.
So, is there a way to use the poliline tool without "putting down" the "unclicked" node while pressing the spacebar? Something similar to the freehand tool, but with the ability to draw curve-straight lines consecutively.
I want my text to look like it was written with a caligraphy pen from the way old days. Also I want to make ink splats too.

About a month ago she started to have problems getting selection tools and brushes etc. to work. None of those types of tools work at all now.
She has downloaded the latest upgrades. We have completely removed Photoshop from the computer, and reinstalled it twice. The computer is scanned for viruses and bots. All other applications work fine. She is now having to use my computer to complete her class work.
I've been considering getting one of the Wacom Intuos4 or 5 small tablets to use while working in PS. From what I've read they really make editing and, just working in PS in general, much easier.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI just bought myself a new digital pen by e3Works. It is pressure sentitive, giving greater width in response to heavier pen pressure. I don't always want this feature. If I am trying to paint an accurate mask, I might want the width to be consistent, regardless of pressure. This pen does not have a software interface of it's own. Can I make such a change within Photoshop?

View 6 Replies View RelatedIve been interested in purchasing a Tablet PC for some time.
But one thing Ive always been concerned with is how feasible they were regarding serious art work.
Many Forums discussing Tablet PCs involve working with academic software.
Im trying to gather information from strictly the art side of things.
My major questions would be
1. Stylus Pressure sensitivity: (how accurate is this?)
Stylus response time: (any lag ?)
2: Hotkey assignments:
When the table screen is flipped over to draw, how does one access all those much needed hotkeys?
I've recently bought Adobe Photoshop CS3, I previously had CS2. In CS2, when I connected by pen and tablet, Photoshop would automatically detect and ammend all my brushes so they're sensitive to touch, etc.
However, with CS3, this isn't the case. Photoshop doesn't do anything to the brushes, I've tried the shape dynamics but have failed so far.
What is the best tablet out there? Wacom?
Whats the usual price and best place to get one?
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

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am on the creative cloud and have down loaded and successfully installed PS6. I am a professional illustrator and use the Wacom tablet. My concern is with the pen pressure effect not staying on. I have went to option on PS6 and checked for updates and down loaded them with no results and called support as well .
I went to the Wacom sit as well to check to if my drivers are updated and they are, and called their support as well with no results. I understand that PS6 is a new product and that I may have to wait for patches, that is fine.
I keep getting an annoying crash every few minutes when using my tablet with cs6. I'm running windows 7 64 bit. every few minutes in the middle of work I get a box popping up saying could not reference memory address click OK to close. I've tried making more memory available in preferences and also running the program as administrator but it still keeps happening. A friend of mine is also having the exact problem on his computer when using a tablet.

I know nothing about graphic tablets and I am not by any means an artist, but is it a good tablet to start out on? I know it has 512 levels of pressure ( I hope I said that right) and 3048 LPI of resolution and that's about it.

Problem is when I touch the pen to the screen it draws a line across the screen from last cursor location to the new one. I'm not able to make "dots" the program recognizes the new location and connects the previous loaction to the new one. But microsoft paint doesn't do this.... is there a setting in pshop and I can change to make it work more like miscroift paint?

Im really into vector art but hate drawing stuff with the mouse.
I am contemplating getting a pen and tablet. As I am merely learning at this point, I can't see paying a great deal for a tablet just yet. I have been seeing alot on the Wacom tablets as they seem to be the most prominant. However, I would like to have one that has a decent sized work area and the Wacom is around $300 for a roughly 6x8.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI use my Wacom Saphire CTE 430 for all my software. Recently I decided to move from Corel PhotoPaint to CS3. However, I am experiencing a very strange problem. If I use the mouse none of the photo shop paint tools work. If I use the pen the paint tools work but others do not. At first I thought is was my ignorance of PS and that I just needed to configure something. I eventually discovered that if I disconnect the tablet Photoshop works fine. I have downloaded and installed the latest Wacom Vista drivers as suggested by Wacom but it has not fixed the problem. PS is the ONLY program experiencing problems with the tablet. I run AutoCad 2008, Sketchup Pro and CorelDRAW X3 suite and they work flawlessly.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm about to buy a laptop and came across Acer's Travelmate C-series with the reversible screen that becomes a tablet. I thought that might be a nice bonus as I spend a lot of time retouching sketches in PS and has thought of getting a Wacom. But is the tablet on the Acer's A - compatible with PS, B - Pressure sensitive and C - any good.
I basically wonder if PS-retouching would work with an Acer tablet-laptop.
Photoshop doesnt seem to be able to distinguish between pressures. if i want to draw a simple black line, the first time i draw, it'll come out light grey, no matter how hard i press the "pen" on the tablet. it will only become black after i've redrawn over the
first shape over and over again about 5-6 times, which isnt very normal.
i was wondering if anyone could tell me :
1) where to find all the options related to the tablet in photoshop CS
2) worst case scenario, a complete options-reset, which i was told is reached when pressing "alt, ctrl" and something else, but cant remember.
