Disable tablet pen pressure for eraser tool in PSE 10?

Hi, I recently bought PSE 10.
I have an Intuos 3 Wacom tablet and whenever I switch to the Eraser tool, in the brush preview icon (top left corner) I see this ~ type of a shape with narrow-pointy edges, indicating that the size-pen-pressure feature is on.
This is always true, even when I switch off all the per-pressure options via the Brush tool.
Can anyone hint how to control or at-least disable the pen-pressure feature while in the Eraser tool?
Thank you.

One way would be to use the Basic Brushes which are not set for any pressure functions by default.
Or if you need a special brush you could save the brush without any pressure settings with the brush tool selected
and those settings should carry over for the eraser tool.
Also, you can set the mode to clear with the brush tool and that will act like the eraser tool set on the brush mode.

  • Wacom Tablet Pen Pressure stops working in Photoshop after using Lightroom Local Adjustment Brush

    Hi all,
    I am experiencing a problem with my Intuos Pro Medium (driver 6.3.9w3 on Windows 8.1)
    I am using Lighroom 5.6 and Photoshop CC 2014.
    I an get the pen pressure to work in Photoshop without any problem. However, if I go into Lightroom and use the Local Adjustment Brush and then transfer the photo into Photoshop (Right Click Edit In => Edit in Adobe Photoshop 2014 CC) then the pen pressure stops working in Photoshop.
    Really frustrating... The only workaround is to close both Photoshop and Lightroom, then reopen Photoshop, then usually the Pen pressure feature starts working again.
    Has anyone experienced this before or has any idea how to fix this?
    Thanks,
    Guillaume

    Your tablet driver isn't reporting pressure correctly.
    The knockoff tablet drivers usually need to be revised for each new version of Photoshop (and we have no idea why).
    Contact your tablet maker to see if they have updated drivers to fix their bugs.

  • CS3 + Wacom Intuos tablet: pen pressure not recognized in CS3

    Photoshop won't recognize my tablet for Pen Pressure sensitivity. Under the Brush settings it has the yellow triangle that says "Pen Pressure requires the use of a pressure sensitive tablet." I've installed the latest driver for Windows 7, and the tablet works in programs like Corel Painter and Sketchbook with no pressure problems, so it's definitely Photoshop. What do I do?

    I did. I have installed the latest driver for Windows 7.

  • I have Wacom Intuos 4, and for some reason pen pressure isn't working with PSE 10

    I can still use wacom tablet pen to draw in Photoshop Elements 10, but I am frustrated because I could not get lines thinner and thicker with more pressure I apply with the pen like I could with Photoshop Elements 7 - and I had already checked "size"  in the tablet setting in PSE 10.  I also made sure I set up my Wacom Tablet Properties to apply to Photoshop Elements 10, and I still can't vary the lines like I want.   Any suggestions?  (also, could it be because I unwittingly bought and installed  34 bits PSE 10 in my 64-bit computer with Window 7  - is that what is preventing PSE 10 from making lines thin and thick with pen pressure?) 
    Thanks for your help.  

    photodrawken, I went to Wacom website and looked up the latest driver.  I see Driver 4.60 for Windows -- will that work on my 64 Windows 7?   (The information didn't mention which Windows, but did warned not to install it on Window Vista 64.) 

  • Tablet + pen pressure + illustrator CS5 issue

    Hello all,
       I just installed Illustrator CS5 and I can't get the brushes to recognize pen pressure from my graphics tablet (intuos3).
    I have tried all the combos of brushes, strokes, etc.  It looks like all the 6D options (bearing, tilt, pressure) are greyed out. Thus, the ap doesn't recognize when I am using my pen.
    Oddly, the pen works great in Photoshop CS5.
    I am working on Windows 7.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!
    _Todd

    I'm with Todditron and the others with lack of pressure problem.
    I'm on a Mac running OSX 10.6.6, with a Wacom Graphire4.
    Pressure works in Photoshop CS5. In illustrator, pen works-making lines and scribbles as directed, but no variation with increased/decreased pressure. In the Brushes panel, I can double click on selected brush, opening an Art Brush Options window, and change width, roundness, etc from "fixed" to "pressure," but those qualities remain fixed, regardless of my pressure.
    Wrote to and heard back from Wacom Help Desk. Followed their instructions..
    "I would recommend removing your current driver by opening your Applications folder and double clicking on the Remove Wacom tablet icon or the Wacom tablet utility icon found in the Wacom tablet folder there.  Inside that removal utility you’ll want to click on the remove tablet software button and then enter your password to remove your current driver.  Once the driver has been removed you’ll then want to repair your disk permissions before installing the latest.  To do this if you open your Utilities folder at the bottom of your Applications folder, in there will be an icon for Disk Utility that you’ll want to double click on.  In the Disk Utility you’ll then want to select your Macintosh HD on the left hand side and then click the repair disk permissions button towards the bottom.  Once the permissions repair is complete you can then download and install the latest driver for your tablet from our website."
    to no avail. Tried the process again, restarting the computer after repairing Disk Permissions and reinstalling newest tablet driver. No go.
    Wrote Wacom Help Desk again. Will follow up here once I hear back.

  • ACR and tablet, pen pressure

    I know, that pen pressure does not work in Adobe Camera Raw. But can anyone explain me, WHY? It works everywhere else - in PS, in Lightroom etc., but not in ACR!
    And is there any chance, that it will implemented there in the future?

  • X230T Pen pressure for Windows 8

    I'm extremely happy I was able to get the pen pressure in fresh install windows 8 It took me about 15 hours tests and 2.5 GB of downloading different drivers. Everyone is probably waiting to get to work so
    1) Download and install the Wacom drivers http://cdn.wacom.com/U/drivers/TabletPC/ISD_DualTouch_710-8.zip
    2) Restart
    3) In the Device Manager to uninstall HID-compliant mouse and user control device HID-compliant and compatible with all HID device,  LEAVE WACOM DEVIC, NO RESTART AND NO REFRESH
    4) re-install the Wacom driver
    5) Just restart
    6) WORK
    I was so annoyed with finding a solution, so I decided to sign up and share the good news

    i tried ...didnt work
    did i do something wrong
    btw... the stylus im using is from an older thinkpad. its the one with the grey eraser instead of the red. could this be the problem? but it was working well in win 7..

  • Tablet Pen Pressure not working

    I got a M708 Ugee Graphics Tablet just yesterday, I was sketching on photoshop and pressure sensitivity was working fine, then later on the same day I re-opened my photoshop tab and pressure sensitivity was no longer working, I hadn't even restarted photoshop or anything.
    I checked the brush window, It's set to pen pressure but there's an ! warning saying I need a tablet with pressure sensitivity (which I do have)
    I can not seem to get it to work again, I've tried absolutely everything, I uninstalled and reinstalled my tablet driver, I also uninstalled and reinstalled photoshop, and I restarted my laptop multiple times, This issue is really bugging me and I'm getting quite desperate since I spent the last 2 hours trying to solve this issue, Any ideas what I can do?

    If your tablet is a USB device, try a different USB port.
    Also, you might want to contact the vendor to see if they have a compatibility issue with Photoshop CC(2014).
    Adobe Photoshop from CC and backward was FLASH based.
    Photoshop CC (2014) abandoned Flash and now uses HTML5.
    Your tablet maker may not have ported their driver to run under CC(2014) HTML5.
    If you still have Photoshop CC on your system, Try using the tablet there and see if it works ok.
    If it does, then contact the tablet maker and see what issues they might have.

  • How to set pen pressure for Wacom tablet  in AI if pressure greyed out

    Wanted to share how to get pressure sensitive stroke in AICC. Go to "new brush" under brush window, and select "new calligriphic brush". There you will find it's settings, one of which is for pressure. However, it will remain greyed out unless you go to the Wacom tablet properties menu, and add AI to that list(AI must be open-then press the+ sign, and select it from the liset of open applications). Once you see AI in the applications menu, please select it. Then try creating the "new calligriphic brush" once again, and this time the pressure should be available!! Now play around with settings a bit (that's a must is you want a varied line).....took me an hour to figure this out-so hope this helps someone!!!!!

    Well, it took me *some* time to get around to work on this, but I succeeded at my first attempt (amazing!), so here is my udev rule (I have followed partly pauldonnelly's suggestion and partly the wiki):
    BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="event*", ATTRS{product}=="CTF-420 V2.0-0", SYMLINK+="tablet", MODE="0664"
    Then I have configured my xorg.conf to look for the device on /dev/tablet.
    I will put a SOLVED sign on this thread.
    Thanks again, pauldonnelly

  • Path Properties:Tablet Pen Pressure

    is there such a thing?
    Theoretically, there must be. in order for a calligraphic brush pen to store the data and appropriately render the actual path the path seemingly MUST contain SOME type of information about how the brush tool was used.
    So my question is, is there anybody out that that knows what this property is? or how it's called? any help is appreciated, even if it's just a large repository of adobe properties i could search through.
    thanks in advance,

    Did you ever figure this out?
    Would be great to have a script that translates path vertices to an XML-style output with X, Y and pressure.

  • No Pen Pressure?

    I got a brand new Wacom Bamboo Capture Pen & Touch Tablet from my brother for Christmas. The package came with a copy of Photoshop Elements 8.  I was excited to try it out, so I went and installed it. I went to test it out and found out that it doesn't think I'm using a tablet. The eraser doesn't work and there is no pen pressure. Now, I'm no stranger to tablets and Photoshop Elements. My last tablet was more basic and came with Photoshop Elements 6.0 (which looks identical to elements 8, really) and with my last tablet, the program seemed to have no questions, and picked up the fact that I was using a pen tablet by implementing pen pressure and eraser automatically. So why is Elements 8 and this tablet so different? Is there something I'm missing?

    Since your familar with how the tablet is supposed to work in pse 8 (same as pse 6), then you should check the wacom site and see if there is a newer driver for your bamboo.
    Anyway in case you forgot where the settings are in pse for tablet pressure with the brush tool selected:

  • Pen pressure wont work with Elements 13

    I am incredibly frustrated right now. I finally decided to upgrade my elements 8 to 13 because it was on sale. My Huion 580 tablet pen pressure functions work great with Photoshop Elements 8, so I assumed that I would not have a problem with Photoshop Elements 13. I have tried everything including playing with my tablet settings and brush settings in the program. Nothing will make the pressure sensitivity on the brush work! I know it is not a problem with the tablet because it still works just fine on my elements 8. The upgrade is useless to me unless I can get the pen to work. Any suggestions?
    thanks in advance

    Which operating system are you using?
    Does the tablet maker have any updated drivers?

  • Pen Pressure in CS4 Vista 64-bit

    Even through all other applications on my PC were able to respond to tablet pen pressure, CS4 running in Vista 64-bit did not. I was able to get the pressure to work when executing the 32-bit photoshop.exe found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Photoshop.exe. I'll continue to use the 32-bit program until Adobe solves this in the 64-bit version.
    It was good of Adobe to automatically install both a 32-bit and a 64-bit version of the program.

    [high pitched Flanders] aaarrrrgghhhhh [/high pitched Flanders]
    ..>cough<..sorry about that.. :)
    cs4 x64 in vista x64 does respond to pen pressure....have you installed the new drivers...are you using a Wacom?
    Did you miss the massive thread about it?

  • My eraser tool acts weirdly. Everytime i use eraser tip on my pen, I cannot change the size of it with either tablet wheel or brackets. It changes the size of a brush tool instead. This was not happening in CS6.. Any ideas?

    So this problem is annoying me. Is there any setting that has been added and this got messed up or is it a bug? In CS6 I could turn around my pen and use the eraser tip and change the size of it.
    Now in CC 2014 I can't do it. I have to manually click the Eraser tool, and then change the size. I must say this is annoying as hell.

    Reset the tool? What do you mean?
    EDIT: Never mind, i found out how to reset. I Ctrl+Right clicked and reseted both brush and eraser but it still doesn't fix the issue. I also downloaded PS CS6 version and it works fine there.. So I don't know what it is. Must be a bug in CC 2014..

  • No pen pressure sensitivit​y when using paint tool sai

    I am using a Portege m750
    it seems to not have pen pressure at all, when drawing with all the tools
    I am not using the wacom tablet or any wacom products
    help is greatly apreciated

    More information about the pen issue on the Helix. I talked with Lenovo tech support today and they had nothing to offer in the way of a solution. In fact, the tech I talked with did not have any info that this was a problem. His only advice was to reload the drivers which I have done to no avail. 
    I have made adjustments in all of the Control Panel pen attibutes and in the preferences menus of most of the drawing programs, all without good result. 
    I have seen lots of threads for the Surface Pro that complain of exactly the same issues spelled out here - lack of pen pressure sensitivity with Photoshop, SBP and Painter (and PaintTool). I found this tweet from an MS person:
    @barbbowman@panos_panay@surface@Windows yes we are actively working with Wacom now, it should be soon. This was posted on the 12th of February.
    I also saw  posts about Skectchbook Pro (SBP) having its own drivers which, when the Win8 pen drivers are removed or disabled, enable pressure sensitivity on the pen within that program. Don't know if this is relevant.
    Many people say this is an Adobe issue, others say a MS issue. Clearly Lenovo has build a machine that CAN do pen pressure sensitivity (as evidenced by the outstanding sesitivity in Fresh Paint) but which is being hindered by the lack of consistent and/or usable drivers either in the OS or in the individual programs.
