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.
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 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.
In Xara Xtreme it was very easy to draw multiline polygons (closed or open), because the line tool used a single click to add a new segment to the already-drawn segments. Now, using Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 7 (which supposedly is the successor to Xtreme) the tool for drawing lines works completely differently and does NOT automatically join line segments to each other.

What I have so far: I am aware of the "line" option. BUT it paints the stroke OUTSIDE of the rectangle and extends its size. This is NOT what I would like to have.
I've just started with Xara P&GD6 and am trying to draw a symmetrical golden shield. I drew one half of the outline, cloned it, flipped the clone horizontally, carefully lined it up, and used Arrange|Combine shapes|Add shapes to make the shield shown in the attachment. No matter what I try, I can't fill it with colour.

View 5 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to draw a perfectly vertical or horizontal line in Xara (Designer Pro 6) without manually lining it up with the grid? Sometimes I just need an instant horizontal or vertical line and I find I have to turn on the grid, zoom right in and meticulously place the pen tool so that the line is a perfect vertical (90 degrees) or horizontal (180 degrees) without slant or lean. Surely there�s a quicker and more reliable method?
View 8 Replies View Relatedis it possible maybe to draw with transparent line in Shape tool?
Currently if I draw a line, make it transparent, the next line as default the same color and width, but does not inherit the transparency. That means it is not possible or just at me
I assume there's some button combination I'm missing? All I know is I can connect a series of freehand lines no problem, but the straight line tool is not consistent operation with the freehand tool.

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.
