How can I draw using the Brush tool and a touch screen?

I need to be able to use the touch screen on my Lenovo Yoga (running Windows 8) to draw using the Brush tool in Photoshop CS6. I'm able to do that in other programs, including Microsoft OneNote and Paint. For some reason, Photoshop will only interpret touching and dragging on the screen as an attempt to pan or scroll, even when the Brush tool is selected. I bought Photoshop - and it isn't cheap - specifically in order to draw using the touch screen, which I need to be able to do for my job. Is there some driver I can download to fix this problem, or some obscure setting I can change?
I would also like to note that Adobe's technical support line exhibits a degree of infuriating unreachability equalled only by the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles. When I called to ask for help with this problem, I was told the expected wait time was between 10 and 14 minutes. After waiting for 50 minutes, I gave up in disgust. Adobe's products are powerful, but what passes for customer service is an utter disgrace.

There's gotta be a way but I just use gimp for touch drawing, save it off as a png, edit in ps or ai.

How do I make the Brush Tool remember settings for each new stroke?

Using
Windows 7 x64
Illustrator CC 2014
I'm finally attempting to draw directly in Illustrator and already want to shoot myself.
How do I make the Brush Tool remember stroke size and profile?
I need each stroke to be tapered at both ends and be a certain stroke size.
But each stroke I make, I have to edit that one path to be correct.
What gives?

Got some results today so I'll share.
Thanks again for reminding me about the 'basic appearance setting'.

How do you change a brush tool color in Photoshop13. The color chart that has always been on the right side of the screen is gone and I cannot find out how to turn it on

How do you change a brush tool color in Photoshop13. The color chart that has always been on the right side of the screen is gone and I cannot find out how to turn it on

I now have the pallete on the right side of my screen. But, I am unable to change the color of the brush. I move the eye dropper over red and click on it. A panel comes saying 'Pure Red', I click ok but the brush color does not change.

Draw animated circle with brush tool in Flash

Hello all,
I need to make a circle with a brush tool so that it looks like a child draws it. If I make a dot with the brush tool on the first frame and a circle on the 15th frame and then create shape tween between those frames it looks stupid, like the circle grows itself.
Is there any possibility of making such a thing except for drawing it per frame?
Thanks
Julia

I'm just asking what is the method to draw a circle with a brush that you can see it animated - I mean the process of drawing. For now the only thing I know is to draw every small piece of it frame by frame but I suppose there is a better method.

Paint bucket tool after drawing with brush tool

Hi,
I am just wondering if there is anyway to paint using the paint bucket tool properly after drawing something using the brush tool. Although I have no gaps anywhere within the outline , there are times where the paint bucket tool doesn't paint. Another issue I encounter is whenever I try to adjust the shape with the selection tool it either fills a portion of the shape with color and even sometimes makes the shape itself disappear. Is there a way to only select a small portion of the drawing (like the way it is with pencil tool) as the shapes were done using a couple of strokes instead of just one.

Hi,
You can use use paint bucket tool to change the color of lines drawn with brush.And to be sure that there are no gaps select the line with subselection tool because visually you cannot make out as the gaps are defined in pixels.Also you can select parts of fill region with selection tool if the painting with brush is done in shape mode not object drawing mode.Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Sangeeta

How do I use the brush tool on a video in cs6? It only stays on one frame?

How do I get what I create with the brush tool to stay on every frame in my video? I've got some footage of a car trip and I'm trying to use the brush tool to make a super 8 looking border, but it vanishes when I play the video because its only on one frame.

When Photoshop just won't work properly, try replacing the Preferences file by using this procedure:
Open Photoshop and save your custom goodies. Choose Edit→Presets→Preset Manager to save sets of styles, brushes, and other such bits and pieces you created. Use the Save Actions command in the Actions palette menu to save any sets of custom Actions.
Review your Preferences. Open Photoshop's Preferences and go through each pane, noting your preferred settings so that you can restore your work environment later.
Quit Photoshop. You can close the program like this:
On a Mac: Hold down Command+Shift+Option and restart Photoshop. When prompted, release the modifier keys and confirm, that yes, you do want to replace the Photoshop settings.
On a PC: Restart Photoshop; immediately press and hold down Ctrl+Shift+Alt. When prompted, release the modifier keys and confirm, that yes, you do want to replace the Photoshop settings.

Coloring with brush tool

I was watching one video tutorial where this person had first a color picture, and then he changed it to a black and white pic. I'm ok 'til this point. Then he, using a brush tool, selectively brought some colors back. Hard to explain.. I tried to do it but my brush didn't do anything. So in my case, B&W stayed B&W.
I tried it with a color picture where was pretty flowers. I wanted everything else B&W but the roses. What am I doing wrong? Do I have some settings wrong or what do you think?
I have a love and hate relationship with Photoshop and just now it's more hate...
thanks for help,
Inge

Photoshop's just a tool - an insanely complicated tool. Don't hate it; love it and it will reward you.
The tutorial was likely showing off the History Brush tool. The History Brush allows you to select a step in the History list, then brush the pixels back to the way they were at that step.
For example:
1. Open a color image.
2. Make your History panel visible by choosing Window - History.
3. Do Image - Adjust - Desaturate.
4. Your History list will now have two steps in it Open and Desaturate.
5. Click the little box to the left of the step that says Open. That will now be the source for the History Brush.
6. Select the History Brush from the tools palette and brush over your image. It will restore the color to the way the image looked before the Desaturate.

Troubles with brush tool

When I use the brush tool (Fireworks CS3), I loose control
over the mouse.
When I select the brushtool, the brushcircle (mousepointer)
will flash in a high frequence and won't react on my mouse moves
anymore or at least very slowly. All other (simular) functions
performs well.
I can't imagine it's a processor or memory problem; I use a
brandnew laptop with Intel T7200 and 2Gb memory. Vista Home Premium
is my OS. Already installed Fireworks againg but the problem
remains.
I hope you can help me. Thank you in advance!

There is a great deal of commitment to Fireworks, as
evidenced by the
removal of ImageReady. Workarounds have been supplied to
solve the
issue. I avoided the problem entirely by not upgrading to
Vista right
away. Granted, I had that luxury. I've yet to trust a 1.0
release from
MS yet.
As for FW's (lack of) home page presence on the Adobe web
site, that
burns me too, but other areas of Adobe are promoting the app,
such a
Adobe Edge and the Design and Developer centers of the site.
Not fixing the Aero issue was a mistake. Things like that
happen, but
don't count Fireworks out yet.

Sampling colors with brush tool by holding down ALT key doesn't work

I'm trying to sample a color with the brush tool on an empty layer while painting by holding ALT key on my mac but it doesn't work for me on Photoshop CC. Is there a setting that I'm missing?
Thanks,
Juliano

Select the Eyedropper Tool, check on the options. Is "All Layers" selected?

Why is the brush tool in Illustrator CC inferior to the brush tool in CS6? It has less control of fidelity and smoothness. It is terrible - and I'm an illustrator. Can I use the CS6 brush engin in CC?

I loved the brush tool in CS6 Illustrator- by turning fidelity to the lowest setting, and smoothness down to zero, pumping up pressure sensitivity, it accurately reproduced the fine shapes of a drawn stroke. I'm an illustrator, so I don't want artificially smoothed curves, I want the line I drew.
This works really well with my Wacom Cintiq tablet... but now CC has removed this level of customisation for the brush tool. WHY? The program is called Illustrator, and as an illustrator, I can tell you having an accurate and finely adjustable brush engine to illustrate with is very important to me and to lots of other people who can draw, and draw for a living.
Now you get this dumbed down control panel when you double click on the brush tool icon- just one slider, with only 4 steps from 'accurate' (not very) to 'smooth' (almost indistiguishable from 'accurate')... it is like I have contracted a nerve disease - I draw a line, and it forms into something quite different to the path my pen took. WHY? Can I get rid of this rubbish engine? Trying the blob brush - what is the point of this brush? It is just like the old brush, except for a cursor that shows the largest size for pressure sensitivity... and it has the same crude 4 step smooth/accurate adjuster, that doesn't change the line much at all. I have the latest driver in my Cintiq, so I don't think that is the issue, and CS6 works better than CC.
I am very disappointed, Adobe. Do I have to go back to CS6 for all my Illustration work? Please improve the CC brush tool controls.
I am still reeling from Adobe's quiet removal of a whole tool: Inverse Kinematics/Bone tool from Flash CC JUST when I was finally using it to animate, but that's another story.
Honestly, having use them for a while, Photoshop,
Illlustrator, InDesign and Flash CC are, as far as I can tell, no step up at all from CS6, except that you have to pay for them forever.

More on this, now becoming known as the CC pencil tool fiasco, on these fora:
Re: PLEASE PLEASE adobe. The new pencil tool has become unusuble to me
Re: Changing line fidelity with CS6 Brush Tool
Re: All pressure sensitive brush presets gone!
If you are affected by the lower accuracy controls for CC's brush or pencil tools, use this Bug report/Feature request form to let the folks at Adobe know- they are actually hopefully going to fix this.......
thanks to Daniel for setting this up:
hey all, if you are going to file a bug report (as per Neeraj's suggestion), i've made up a draft to make the process easier. feel free to adjust it as much as you want, obviously; trying to equip us busy folk.
Obviously customer service & product development are two different departments, so if you're bummin out on the new functionality, submit a bug report!

******BUG******
Concise problem statement:
I was told to by Neeraj N(staff) to report this issue based on this link : (http://forums.adobe.com/message/6065706).
The Pencil / Brush tools have lost essential functionality with the addition of the new accurate / smooth adjustment preset. Users are no longer able to specify high-accuracy pen mapping, as the finest accuracy setting is now set to 2.5px (legacy versions allowed accuracy to .5px).
I would think adding additional slider nodes to allow more accurate mapping (while still using the accurate / smooth preset) allow for a minimal change in programming with a maximum return for power users.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. open illustrator
2. use either pencil or brush tool.
3. draw erratic and high detail shapes
Results: shapes are smoothed to 2.5px smoothness, even when the accurate / smooth adjustment preset is set to full accuracy.
Expected results: shapes have minimal / no smoothing to maintain the integrity of the artwork.
Thank you for your consideration.

How do you start the Brush tool from a last anchor point?

Hi there,
I'm somewhat almost a complete newb to Illustrator, and would really appreciate some help!
Is there any possible way to continue a brush stroke from your last brush stroke's end point (the anchor point)? For instance, if I drew half of a circle with one brush stroke, and wanted to cleanly complete the circle by having the next brush stroke start from the point where I last finished, how would I do that?
Any help much appreciated! Thanks!

What tool did you use to draw? Since you said brushstroke will assume you used the paintbrush tool.
Double click on paintbrush tool for the options. Change your settings to mine, especially the bottom 2 checkmarks.

Step Backward Not Always Working with Brush Tool

I'm usually painting in photoshop and I undo a lot using the Opt+Cmd+Z shortcut. It works about 4/5 times I do it, but sometimes it just stops working. I either need to switch to a different tool, so just make a random brush stroke on the canvas and then it will start working again. Does anyone have a fix for this?

I'm using Photoshop CC on Mac OSX. The problem I'm having is not the inability to step backwards--I can get it to work by making a random brush stroke and then it will work again--but since it happens after every four or five "step backwards" commands it is really slowing my workflow. I'm constantly redoing lines multiple times in a few seconds when I'm drawing and it's really getting annoying.
