Middle button on wacom pen kills paint.

While painting with my wacom tablet if I hit one of the thumb buttons it kills photoshop. I get the spinning circles of death and have to force quit.
I've updated everything. I'm on a mac with CC. but his has been an issue for years. I've reproduced this issue faithfully on several machines on different versions ever since CS4, I believe. I've disabled the middle button.
I can't believe I'm the only one experiencing this bug. I haven't found anyone else who's bumped into this.
It's really holding me back.

yeah found a work around, *******!!!

  • Spot Removal Tool w. Click & Drag & Wacom Pen not showing area painted over until pen released

    SOLUTION found a few minutes after I posted this!
    Went into Wacom Tablet Properties and adjusted Tip Feel to Soft and Tilt Sensitivity to High.
    I am having the following issue in LR 5 using Wacom Intuos 3 pen (Win 7 Pro, 16 GB RAM, Nvidia GTX760, i7 3820 3.6 processor):
    When using the Wacom pen to click and drag to heal a spot, the area I draw does not show the path (doesn't paint white) while I am drawing it. Only after I have drawn the area to clone/heal and released the pen does it show.  Click & drag works fine with a regular mouse and with the Wacom mouse.  I have penflicks turned off in Windows.
    Anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions?
    Message was edited by: marzo19 - Solution found.

    Hi,
    Many thanks for this tip. I'd actually abandoned using my wacom pen&touch when using any of the adjustments (graduated filter, spot and brush) because of lag etc.
    I don't have the tilt sensitivity on my tablet, but ajdusting the tip feel made a major improvement. ... the mouse still works better though.
    I actually wonder just how many of the 'lag issues' being experienced are actually about mouse/tablet interaction.
    When I quit lightroom, my tablet seizes up for about 20 seconds - seems like a driver reloading or something.

  • Why is Photoshop CS6 extremely slow with the brush tool using Wacom pen?

    Could my wacom tablet be the issue?  The psd processor spins not stop until I pick up the wacom mouse and click on an adjacent layer then back to the layer I was working on.  Then the wacom pen  work with the brush tool.  This seems to happen when every time I  pick up the pen and go back to the brush  tool.

    First, sorry it took so long to reply.  Have been a bit swamped.  What I mean by the psd processor, is the balls that rotate kind of like the SBDO when the app is executing a paint stroke.  So I tried your suggestion, mad a new file 7w x 5d at 72pi, set the brush to 25px at 100% hardness and made a stroke with the wacom pen.  It worked fine.  The issue is working in large files say around letter size at 300dpi or large format graphics for trade shows at 150dpi.  These files can range anywhere from 6ft x 8ft high  to 16ft w x 10 ft h for an example.  So painting in a channel mask or retouching using the brush tool in airbrush mode is painfully slow.  I've found that while this little psd icon is spinning, if I take the wacom mouse, click on an adjacent layer then go back to the layer I was working on and resume with the airbrush, the problem subsides.  It seems this spinning thing happens when I initially start using the brush on a layer or layer mask.  Do you get what I'm trying to explain?

  • Wacom pen - Illustrator CS6 - Pressure on TIP not recognized

    Hello everyone,
    OS: Windows 8.1 and I am using Illustrator CS6.
    Downloaded Gimp and Inkscape latest versions to try on them whether they are sensitive to pressure but unfortunately NONE of them, even Photoshop did not recognize pressure for the TIP of the pen. All these software ARE pressure-responsive for the eraser side of the pen.
    Also in the wacom properties screen, there is a bar showing how much pressure you apply. That bar is stupidly moving when I touch the pen to the tablet. I mean it is not stable.
    But the weirdest thing is, when I remove all drivers and preferences and install the latest driver from wacom website (i think it was 6.3.9w or something like that) the pressure bar was stable UNTIL I started Illustrator. After Illustrator opened, the pressure bar started to get silly again.
    In case of a conflict between the tip and the buttons, I disabled both buttons on the pen but still no luck.
    (P.S. I almost read EVERYTHING on the internet about this topic.)
    Did anyone solve the problem?

    Bad news, I contacted Wacom Support via e-mail and they told me to remove wacom driver software after unplugging the tablet.
    I tried to do this 2 times but in each try my laptop showed a blue screen like this:

  • Wacom pen won't work with keyboard's USB?

    My old Wacom pen Graphire was working well with my old iMAC 333 OS 9.2.2(five colour iMAC) USB 1.0 connector; but when I plug it into my new iMac G5 keyboard's USB(also 1.0), it doesn't recognize it, I already downloaded the latest Wacom driver for OS X, and my new iMac is using OS 10.4.3., I don't want to waste the keyboard's USB, does anyone help me? Thanks a lot!

    How bizarre. I am wondering why all my new keyboards (I have three of the new design) will not let me use either keypen, microsoft mouse (I needed another button and the Mighty Mouse had not been released or Wacom on the rear USB ports. The same goes with my Powerbook. I cannot connect to the keyboard USBs (seperate keyboard) but can connect on the USB 2.0s on the laptop.
    There is a solution... the bluetooth wireless Wacom. No wires, no fuss

  • Nevernote / Nixnote Wacom pen support

    I've done a lot of searching both arch-specific resources (forums, AUR, wiki), and the general internet to try and find out if Nevernote supports use of a wacom pen to create vector graphics (i.e. use the pen to write on the screen).  I have been able to get GIMP and Inkscape to recognize and use the pen correctly (i.e. pressure sensitive, buttons work, etc).  Hardware is recognized by the system correctly.
    Is there a hidden menu in Nevernote I haven't found yet, or is there a config file change or something that would enable me to use the pen in Nevernote?
    If not, here's what I'm trying to accomplish on a functional level:
    I'm trying to replicate MS OneNote's seamless integration of writing on the screen with typed notes.  This works great for quick scribbles that, for whatever reason, aren't conducive to being typed out.  So, if anyone knows of alternative note taking software packages for linux that do offer this capability, I'd be eager to try them out.  I'm NOT asking for text recognition.  What I do want is the ability to write and draw in the same "space".

    I don't know anything about nixnote, but....
    try Xournal.
    it'll work with your wacom, and has a decent amount useful of features ~ it's not the best drawing application (you limited in tools and colors) but for what you are talking about, it should work nicely;
    Xournal is available through pacman, and there is also a patched version in AUR, that supports importing images;

  • I have a prob with my microphone and my phone's middle button

    Hi,
    I'm  balachandar and having iphone 3-GS. Middle button in my mobile seems to be not fine. It require two or more press to sense the signal. Also the microphone voice seems to be very low. The speaker in other end unable to hear my voice clearly.
    These are the two problems with my iphone. Just six months ago i bought this mobile. But it seems to have lots of discepancies. Please help me on this.
    Regards,Balachandar.

    You cannot unscratch something.  A scratch is basically somehwere where the paint has been removed.
    The only way to remove it is to paint it again.

  • Trackpoint + middle button dragging still not working in Ultranav 16.2.19.2 driver

    Trackpoint + dragging is still not working with the Ultranav middle button as of 16.2.19.2 driver.
    It's an extremely important function for any 3D graphics program. With the Lenovo driver it's not possible to use the middle button + trackpoint to navigate in these programs!
    Lenovo, please fix this bug. It's working perfectly if I install the latest Synaptics driver. It's only happening with Lenovo's driver. Using Synaptics driver is not an option, because it has no guard against keyboard typing + touchpad accidental clicking.
    Test:
    Testing is very easy.
    1. Set your middle button behaviour to "None".
    2. Above an empty area of your desktop, click the middle button + try to move the mouse pointer with your trackpoint. The pointer isn't moving! It's the same thing what happens in any 3D graphics program! You cannot navigate your camera, unless you use an external mouse!
    Fix:
    Please fix it. Just don't stop the trackpoint pointer when someone clicks the middle button in "None" settings.
    System: Using a W520 for the reference.

    Yes, the latest driver from Synaptics doesn't have this bug. So if you uninstall UltraNav driver from Lenovo and install the latest one from Synaptics, it will work with 3 buttons.
    But the behaviour of the Synaptics is annoying for an other reason: it has no feature to stop the touchpad while you are typing. Normally you'd never notice it with the Lenovo one, but with Synaptics, you'll go crazy with the accidental scrolls and clicks. But at least it works with 3 buttons.
    Lenovo, can you confirm that you understand this bug? Please fix it in one of the future versions!

  • Photoshop Elements 8 FROM WACOM PEN TABLET: INTOUS 4 (Mac) Error 150:30.

    I use Photoshop Elements frequently and I got this message yesterday. The collations I've found on the site don't seem to work, and i can't find that Flex file to delete. I got the program through my Wacom Pen tablets and really need help fixing it.

  • Bridge stops responding to Wacom pen clicks in Windows 8

    When I use Adobe Bridge with the Wacom pen (Intuos 5) the first one or two clicks work but then the program stops responding to any pen clicks until I move the mouse or touch the touchpad, and then all the unresponsive clicks are played back at once. This problem first appeared with Bridge in CS5. I then upgraded to CS6 hoping it would go away, but it didn't. And now I've downloaded the new CC version of Bridge and it does the same thing. The pen works erratically in other Adobe programs as well but the malfunction is most obvious and happens consistently in Bridge. All Microsoft programs (Office 2010, Outlook, Internet Explorer, and Windows 8 itself) work fine with the Wacom pen.
    I've searched the Adobe and Wacom support forums and this problem does not appear to be affecting anyone else; although, I did find these two posts by people with similar problems:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/5359741
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/5262754
    I've talked to Wacom tech support and tried all of the troubleshooting steps they could think of, including going back to earlier versions of the Intuos driver. They released a new Windows 8 driver yesterday (6.36) but it did not solve my problem.
    Since I use a Logitech mouse, I've tried updating, going back to earlier versions, and completely uninstalling the Logitech drivers but the problem did not go away. I've also uninstalled, cleaned settings, and reinstalled the Adobe apps several times with no change.
    This morning I tried disabling all non-Microsoft services and all non-essential startup programs on reboot but it made no difference.
    One clue I've noticed that might help Adobe engineers figure this mystery out is that when I click on the little triangles to expand the metadata in the panel (with my first pen click as that's the only one which registers) they will highlight but not rotate and the panel never expands (see pictures below). This is a unique behavior which I can not replicate with my mouse. If someone can identify what would make the triangles respond in this way we might be onto what message the program is getting when I click with the pen.

    Shut down all unnecessary programs running in the background.  Does Win 8 still use the ctrl alt delete for the Task Manager?
    I did as you suggested and tried shutting down other running programs with Task Manager (Ctrl-Shift-Tab in Windows 8) but nothing changed in Bridge's response to pen clicks.
    Then I used msconfig to turn off all non-essential system services and programs by doing what it calls a "Diagnostic Startup". Upon reboot only the minumal Windows drivers and services were running. Not even the Wacom driver was loaded, although the pen still worked using the Microsoft pen driver. I oppened Bridge, and guess what, exact same problem. One click and then the program locks up. And this is with absolutely nothing else running, no sound, no network, no other programs, and only the minimal set of Microsoft drivers.
    So I figure that the only thing that's left for me to investigate is the Microsoft "Pen and Touch" settings in Control Panel. I open that and see three pen actions: Single-tap, Double-tap and a thing called "Press and hold" which is turned off. I turn it on and test Bridge. Bingo! it works. Pen clicks now register normally.
    If I hold the pen down for a second, however, a right click is triggered. This is what "Press and hold" is supposed to do. But if I go back to Control Panel and turn "Press and hold" off, then Bridge locks up on normal pen clicks. It's like Bridge is interpreting every click as a click-and-hold but is unable to follow thorugh if the setting is turned off in the "Pen and Touch" control panel.
    I've found no other program on my computer that does this but Bridge, and all version of Bridge from CS5 through CC do the exact same thing. A very strange bug indeed! But now I have a solution: turn on "Press and hold" in the "Pen and Touch" applet in Windows 8 Control Panel.
