I own a Wacom tablet and I've used it for about a year now.. and now that I mostly use my Laptop, I use the wacom tablet as a mouse pad (using the mouse that comes with it). I opened up photoshop today on my laptop and I was trying to erase some things using the brush command and it didn't work.. after an hour of panic and googleing I had the idea of using the pen.. which works.

I've deleted preferences, reset tools, and everything.. but its not working. No brush commands work (Clone, Brush, Eraser, etc.) but everything else will work.

I don't get it.. Is it something with pressure maybe? Thats the only difference between mouse and pen.. pen adds pressure sensitivity.

Any help will be appreciated.. I can't use the pen for pixel editing as well as I can use a mouse.

Solved.

I figured it out after I posted.. I was right about the pressure.

For anyone else with problem:

Click on the tool, go to the brushes tab on right side of screen (CS3) and select Shape Dynamics and turn off Pen Sensitivity. Have to do it for each tool.
