Aiptek Pen Sensitivity in PS-CS3

I have an Aiptek 12000MU tablet, and I'm using it with Photoshop CS3. In the past, it's worked fine, but recently I'm having an issue where the pen pressure isn't controlling the dynamics of brush strokes. In Aiptek's test program, the pen is working wonderfully, it's just in PS that it's having an issue.
Essentially, the brush stroke won't occur until I put a certain amount of pressure on it, and then it won't modulate in dynamics with pen pressure after that. I've looked to make sure Pen Pressure is selected for all my jitter settings in the brush menu, and they're all set to Pen Pressure.
Am I missing something here? It just seems to be PS that's having an issue with it, and it worked before.

Thank you so much! That worked perfectly. I guess I've never really used the brush panel before since I was only using a mouse. There are some other cool check marks there that seem to effect the way the brush/pencil works. very cool.
Thank you again. I was pulling my hair out!

  • No pen sensitivity in Photoshop.

    So I recently got a new computer which is Windows 8.1. After installing Photoshop I noticed that I have no pen sensitivity. I'm still new to Windows 8. Yes, I am using a drawing graphic tablet. I own a Wacom Bamboo.
    Please would someone help me?

    Please kindly try reinstalling the drivers and also check if you have the latest drivers available or not .
    If you face the same issue :-
    Please try un-installing and reinstalling the Photoshop ,And then try to install the wacom bamboo drivers .
    Then try using it

  • How to make a pressure sensitive brush in CS3?

    Hi!
    Is there someone out there who knows how to make a brush similar to this? I've been trying to figure it out for several hours now, but nothing works!
    Daniel

    Sorry but you aren't going to get something that looks like that from a pressure sensitive brush in Illustrator.
    The colors and groupings of blocks are too random to be a repeating pattern (a simple one, anyway) and the order is too consistent to be something like a scatter brush. That said, you *can* do this with a brush but it won't be pressure sensitive and it will require a degree of setup.
    Start by building a row of blocks. Mine is a simple pattern with a few pieces removed and not terribly interesting looking but hopefully it'll give you the idea of what I mean:
    Group everything and then go up to Effect> 3D> Rotate
    Set your X, Y, And Perspective parameters to taste. Keep the Z axes (the blue one) at zero:
    Go to Object> Expand Appearance You'll notice that Illustrator has put a clipping mask around your squares (transparent rectangle) Delete it.
    Take everything you have and drag it over to the brush panel and make a new Art Brush:
    Now you can select that brush and paint with it though you'll get better results by stroking a path you've drawn with the pen tool:
    A couple of things to keep in mind:
    You'll need to consider your ultimate length when creating the brush. Longer or more wavy lines will require more squares. My squares look a little skewed because I didn't bother to make my pattern very long. A longer row will improve the look of this but hopefully my example is enough to give you the idea.
    For generating the square colors, you might want to try the random fills script available from James talmage's page and then use live color to tint everything for you.

  • Pen Tool in PhotoShop CS3 VERY Slow

    I just installed CS3 on my laptop and am trying to use the pen tool to draw a path. I have to wait between 30 seconds and 2 minutes for each point to show up. Needless to say it's impossible to create a curve because I can't see the path. I'm using PhotoShop CS3, Windows XP Professional on an IBM Thinkpad T42. I'm not using a tablet, although I do hve one available to use.
    Thank you for your time.

    As usual could be a variety of things depending on your system. Try a search for "slow tools" to see some of the posts. Here is one on slow pen drag.

  • How to I get the the Wacom tablet's pen sensitivity to work on Photoshop when it works in Flash?

    Hi Everyone!
    Alright so I did some looking around to see if I could use other threads to help solve my issue before I came here to ask. A lot of them seem to be related to surface pro and some of the instructions I followed was to remove USB drivers so that they can re-install themselves and simply re-installing the Wacom drivers.
    I am on Windows 8 (64bit) and am using and Intuos 4 Wacom tablet and what seems to be most peculiar is that the pressure sensitivity seems to be working just fine in Flash but has never been able to work in Photoshop. I took this as a sign that this might be more of an issue with the application than the tablet itself since it is clearly registering in another application.
    Sorry if this has been answered before! If so, it would be great to get a link otherwise I would greatly be indebted to those able to help me with my problem.
    Thanks so much!

    1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.

  • Mysterious issues with the pen tool in flash (CS3 & CS4)

    i have searched tirelessly for the answer to this problem and still have no answer. when using the pen tool to create shapes, occasionanally when i click to add the next point the line segment jumps over to a previously added point. also, sometimes when i add a point, the point mysteriously starts moving on the screen all by itself. i have used illustrator for many years and it's pen tool is perfect in so many ways and it is counterproductive to have to jump to illustrator to do any pen tool work and then import it into flash
    anybody have this issue or know why this might be happening?

    Hello
    I have the same issue. I think it is a bug.
    Sometimes when I  delete points with <delete> key on keyboard, flash also deletes randomly frames on locked layers with all of its contents.
    You have to start tricking over these issues, if you do not want to be nervous. Like using a one key -shortcut substitute of Ctrl+Z
    Sometimes it's happening, because there are not perfectly overlapping shapes on each other on one layer, .
    Sometimes because there are a parenting issue, flash sometimes breaks, if you draw to deep under the "root" of the
    project.
    Or if you have a lot of vectrice on one layer. But I am just guessing too.

  • Pen Pressure works.. but not in Cs3? Please help

    Hi there
    I'm having a problem with the pen pressure dynamics on CS3. They can't be changed.
    If I change it to 'pen pressure' I get a little yellow marker next to it which I assume means its not registering or recognizing.
    http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss154/Peardan/Yellow_error.jpg
    The tablet I use is Wacom Intuos (I think its the original) http://i602.photobucket.com/albums/tt110/thedeekin/forsale/Intuos1.jpg
    I know for a fact that the pen pressure works because I have a program that tests it.
    http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss154/Peardan/Stupidthingdunwork.jpg
    That blue bar goes up the harder I press so I know its working..
    Every method of fixing has been tested:
    Driver in the box, Latest drivers, Every driver that was available for download,
    Unplug and plug,
    Ctrl+Alt+Shift.
    10million pc restarts.
    It has always worked fine on my old computers which where xp, no problems but I got a new computer with 64bit Windows7.
    As far as I can tell its photoshop thats not letting it work. CS3 is fully updated and works great aside from this problem which is stopping everything.
    Thanks for the help.
    I want to draw..

    Ok its fixed! Thanks guys!
    Exactly what I did for those who want to know:
    Opened photoshop with Ctrl+Alt+Shift and hit the pop up button
    I then made the brush settings to normal and not pen pressure and closed it down.
    Start -> Control Panel -> Programs/Uninstall a program -> Uninstalled Wacom tablet file
    Went onto that link provided http://www.wacom.com/downloads/drivers.php
    Selected Intuos GD and Windows 7.
    I then downloaded the oldest driver down the bottom (Which apparently was the first one compatable with windows 7)
    Installed and accepted the restart notification.
    Before I checked Photoshop I opened Paint and tested the pen pressure on various brushes and kept it open
    Then opened photoshop and put the settings on pen pressure again and it worked!
    Doing it exactly like that was what seemed to get it working propperly.
    Thank you again!

  • My Pen Pressure Sensetivity is Suddenly Not Working With My Wacom Bamboo Creat Tablet

    I"m having trouble with my tablet that I have had and used many times before. It's supposed to have 1,024 levels of sensitivity, but now, when I'm in my brushes panel, and I try to control the brush size by pen sensitivity, it comes up with the little orange error sign that says I don't have a pressure sensitive tablet. I have used it with this computer and with another that both have photoshop, but it's not working all of the sudden. I have tried googling it and updating to the latest driver for my tablet and downloading the latest photoshop update, but nothing is working. I have Windows 7 and the whole Creative Cloud on the Student One Year plan.

    First check and see if Wacom has a driver update.
    If their most recent driver does not solve the problem, then you need to call Wacom and work with them to see why the driver is not working on your system.

  • Toggle pen pressure in flash cc

    Hello,
    I feel quite foolish, but I cannot find the "pen pressure" or "pen sensitivity" or any setting enabling use of a tablet in Flash CC. I have scoured forums for the past few hours and noticed a lot of issues with tablets not functioning... but I can't find any settings to alter other than "smoothing." In the preferences in Flash under "Drawing" there are no settings. When you select the brush and the properties window appears, there are no options to select pen pressure or tilt. If I'm not mistaken it used to be right under the timeline. Looked like a stylus with a target underneath it and you simply.... clicked it.
    Either I'm dumb or insane, but I wouldn't think this would be an issue. My tablet has all the latest drivers and works fine in other abode software.
    I'm at a loss. Help my Obi Wan, or Adobe Admin, or kind stranger. Whoever you are. I'll bake you some digital muffins.
    Muffinface

    It appears I am both dumb AND insane. I found a solution. Since I'm working on a laptop, the toolbar is scrunched into a strip. When I move it and expand it the tilt and pen pressure options appear.
    Thanks, me. You are great.

    Hey Bryan,
    I'm experiencing the same problem with the pen sensitivity in PS - although other apps work fine with the Companion.
    The zoom in/out on-screen shortcuts also freak out when touched.
    I hope we're able to resolve these issues soon,
    All the best,

  • Unstable Brush Sensitivity Flash CS4

    I have found in my experience with Flash CS4 and using a Wacom tablet or Cintiq that the brush sensitivity is unstable.
    Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not.
    As long as I open Flash and do not change the brush size, then the sensitivity stays just fine. If I change the brush size then sensitivity disappears and all I can draw is solid lines of a single width.
    I contacted Wacom and was on the phone for two hours. After trying every possible fix, we decided it was a Flash error, since Photoshop works. Other machines were tested, other tablets were swapped in and out, new pens were tried, they all had the same problem.
    I contacted Adobe and this was their response:
    "As I understand that you want to use Flash on Wacom and brushes lack pen
    sensitivity  . I understand this issue & i found that brushes lack
    pen sensitivity because it is not compatible with wacom tablet."
    This is news to me that Adobe decided to not support Wacom tablets with Flash. Is this for real?
    I responded saying that the response sounded wrong.
    I have read other threads regarding this issue but was unable to find a solution.
    UPDATE:
    At 4:30 I spoke again with Wacom and it has been discussed that I need to file a bug with Adobe. They also confirmed that Flash CS4 does support the pen and eraser functions, so Adobe support was wrong.
    My only hesitation for filing a bug is that for a program bug to exist, then wouldn't thousands of other people be experiencing the same issue?
    UPDATE:
    3 hours on the phone with Adobe and they are escalating the problem, so i have to wait to hear back. The current technical assistant was unable to replicate my issue.
    Am I the only one with this issue?

  • CS2 - 6D art pen brushes rotate the wrong way

    I'm wondering if this is the normal behaviour of the 6d art pen brushes that come with Illustrator CS2. When I use them with my 6d art pen, they rotate in the opposite direction as I rotate my pen. Does anyone know a way around this? The pen works fine in Painter and Photoshop.
    My setup is Macbook Santa Rosa 2.2 Ghz, 4 gb ram, windows xp home sp2 (up to date), Cintiq 12 WX with the 6D art pen (art marker).

    Dear CS3 and CS4 photoshop users,
    I hope I can straighten out the whole confusion with the 6D art pen ROTATION feature not working. (not a solution but clarify)
    Although we appreciate all forms of opinions, I have a message for people saying that rotation feature will work when you set the brush settings correctly. WE_ARE_NOT_NEW at this. Many of us have been using the rotation feature with CS3 perfectly fine, and yes, we know how to set it up. Thank you for your tips but IT IS NOT working as it should. I don't know whether it is defendant with: x64 or x32 syst on our part, driver problem with wacom, or in fact with the CS4. I will tell you what I did and what I got however.
    X64 Vista Ult. 6G RAM, Quad core, both Intuos 3 and Cintiq 20wsx.(Cintiq is my primary and the only one I use now a days and I don't have both plugged at the same time. However, I have tried with Intuos3 separately, and it won't work) I uninstalled old wacom driver and updated to the latest (5days old), remade brush settings fresh with rotation setting (not just using my own saved preset from CS3) and it still WON"T WORK... so there it is. Hope this clarifies the issue so that the TECH can help us (please) and not think that we are all confused.

  • Illustrator Pen Tool problems

    My pen tool in Illustrator CS3 is not working properly. I am operating on Windows XP. I have deslected snap to guide and even reinstalled Illustrator.
    Any help for me.

    I have to click twice to make the first point and instead of curving it makes a straight line. And, sometimes when I want to complete a circle it cuts half the circle off.
    Does it do this all the time, in all documents? Are you using a mouse or digital pen? Sounds like something wrong with the input device. Do you have problems with the other illustrator tools or different programs?

  • Default beep when trying to restore CS5

    Whenever I minimize CS5, this keeps happening to me. I try clicking on the PS icon in the taskbar (I use Windows 7, by the way), I get the "deafult beep" sound and the program wont open.
    I end up having to right click the icon and restore it like so:
    I've noticed this only seems to happen when I have a file open within PS. It also restores by left clicking if I hold down shift as well (which I could deal with, but I have a tablet laptop, so I don't have access to my keyboard while I'm drawing).
    The same problem arises when I have PS open, but files within it are minimized. I hear the default beep and it won't open, so I end up having to right click and restore too.
    Does anyone happen to know why this is happening? I have a feeling it's something very obvious that I just can't figure out.

    Well, sounds definitely like some issue with your tablet thing. The beep would mean that the system interprets your click as being in an invalid area. I'd check the pen sensitivity settings and in particular whether there are some specioal functrions assigend to it. Also make sure to have the latest driver.

  • Going back/away from aperture

    i have this problem with importing DNGs with all my settings (see my other post).
    that made me think, what if in a year or two i decide to migrate away from aperture to another software (lightroom, captureone, unknown)?
    is it possible to export your files/adjustment/settings and import them in another application?
    i don't seem to be able to do it, as of now.
    also, how do you make IVMP to read aperture adjustments? not keywords, image adjustments.
    thanks,
    @lberto

    I'm not sure how helpful this will be Alberto, as your needs for metadata probably overshadow mine. Plus I have a RAW supported camera: key issue!!!
    Prior to Aperture, I used PS CS2/ACR/Bridge combo. I set date/time in camera and diligently changed for time zones.
    Import from CF card to "Unprocessed" folder under project/event under location under year folder structure
    Rename in Finder using "Renamer4Mac" utility
    Save to DVD
    Select in Bridge, open a select into ACR and save as PSD to "Part Processed" folder
    Continue (hand notes for images processed I've done ... ugh) [BTW, comments/notes in Aperture has been requested by some folks and its a great idea in my mind]
    Open each image in CS2 and adjust/crop/save ... as different versions for different print or crops. Save to "Processed" folder
    Burn folder to DVD
    Post-process in Pages, InDesign ...
    With Aperture .... BTW: I do not generate Previews until I've completed the project
    Copy CF card to disk
    Burn DVD
    Import from disk to new Project: name files using import naming options (I tend to use custom). Add Copyright and keywords (I tend to add a superset and then remove ad hoc later). Set auto-stack time to make as much sense as possible (adjust discrepancies manually later). Then import.
    First pass:
    Scan images sequentially and reject, or mark as 1*, 3*, 5*. Note that Aperture caches the next/last images so this speeds up image "Loading" times considerably.
    Adjust any stack membership
    Second pass:
    Adjust RAW settings ad hoc (for shadowy or very bright or shiny surface images I use different RAW presets)
    Adjust for any exposure, levels, shadow/highlight, WB etc.
    Adjust straighten then dust
    Create different crop versions
    Amend * ratings up/down and esp. for crop preferences
    Alter keywords (delete or add additional if necessary)
    Output to external editor (around 2% images) for filters or blemishes above/beyond spot/patch
    Set stack pick
    Once this pass is complete, I generate full res. JPG's
    Back up to Vault
    From that point I'm into post-process, and I'm doing the majority of that from Aperture direct into Pages and iWeb or from Aperture itself.
    Except for panoramas, where I export TIF's to Calico, and re-import the new image, then manually stack with the original images, I hardly move out of Aperture. My use of CS2 has dropped from 100% to a couple of %, and those tend to be for soft filter actions applied to unmask, liquify filter or occasionally I'll use Nik plug-in's or clone stamp and healing brushes with pen sensitivity.
    As I said up front, I'm not sure how useful this will be. I didn't feel a need for PhotoMechanic or iView, and my level of pain with Bridge/ACR/CS2 was easy for me to leave .... even Aperture 1.0 with less than ideal hardware was a significant productivity gain.
    Working between Aperture and other apps. is likely to be tiresome. Working within Aperture becomes really smoooooth.
    So, unless you absolutely must have can't live without the world will end some function of these, consider how you could make do with Aperture's nearest equivalent. Give a negative score to Aperture though. If a function is required, then can you export to/import from at a point in an Aperture centric workflow? If so, score as a negative to Aperture. (If you cannot see how to interface to Aperture, ask. If the answers still no, then you know.) Then, score the things that Aperture gives you as a benefit. If your tally is net positive (and I trust that it will), or a net negative, you've answered your question.
