 |
|
Hello, was wondering if anyone has encountered this problem before. 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.
Anyone have any ideas regarding the pen pressure problem? Thank you in advance. |

A lot of people find CS4 buggy, so you are not alone. I tried it and it was awful on my computer.
It was somewhat better after I updated my video drivers, but still too buggy to use. I went back to CS3 which always ran perfectly on my system, and still does.
If you haven't done so already, update your video drivers. You should check the Adobe PS forum too. |

Thanks for your reply. I've done as you've suggested and updated my video driver, updated Adobe and generally done lots and lots of updating.
Unfortunately the problem seems to have gotten worse if anything. Or possibly I'm just becoming more sensitive to it as my frustration grows! Oh well, I'll have a look at Adobe's forum too, thanks again. |
