Pen pressure issues with CS6

So, I'm having an odd issue with my tablet and its pressure sensitivity with CS6. I've got a Genius MousePen tablet; M508W model. I can use it on my mac computer with photoshop elements; pen pressure works just fine with it. In CS6, when I do the stroke preview for all of my burshes, it shows the tapering-- as well as in the brush settings. When I go to make an actual rush stroke though, it doesn't apply the pressure settings. I've got the most recent drivers for the tablet downloaded, All of the old driver software was uninstalled, I've made sure that the drivers are for my version of windows, I've tried setting the compatability back to windows 7 and using the windows 7 drivers, but STILL nothing. The only reason I'm lead to believe that this is an issue with CS6 is that the tablet works with PS Elements just fine. If anyone could help shed some light on the situation, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I am having a similar issue.
Working in CS6 on a Cintiq Companion.
Pressure sensitivity disappears while I'm working.
The only way to get it back is to quit out of Photoshop and relaunch.
The pressure sensitivity works fine in Autodesk Sketchbook.

I just had another issue with cs6 locking up.

I just had another issue with cs6 locking up. This time, I was in cs6 beta working on an image, I went to file/open to open another existing file in photoshop, and when the finder window popped up to select a .jpg to open up, the cursor wouldn't respond to the finder window that was opened up, and I couldn't close it out, and I had to force quite cs6.

If I'm reading this correctly, your last kernel panic (that's what these are called) occured six months ago. Is that correct? It probably does not have anything to do with the number of windows you have open; I suspect it has to do with one of the third party kexts or non-apple hardware. My guess would be something with parallels (is the software up to date?), but if you're only getting panics at 6 month intervals it's really hard to diagnose.
Kernel panics aren't fun, but they aren't the end of the world. make sure you keep regular backups, and if you can figure out how to replicate the panic at a more frequent interval we can figure it out.

PS CC running extremely slow... No issues with CS6...

Same system... CS6 runs perfectly fine, close it, then load CC, not even workable. Close CC and reload CS6 and it runs fine...
Is CC really that much more hardware dependent? I feel like the issue is software related and has nothing to do with my machine... My Machine isn't some kind of powerhouse, but it does have 8gb of ram, and again, no real issues with CS6...

I am having this same problem and can't figure out what is going on. CS6 runs excellent, CC is unbearable. two second delay on almost everything. It is unusable.
Windows machine:
-Windows 8
-Intel i7 970 3.2GHz with HyperThreading
-Solid State main drive (C drive)
-12GB RAM
Any suggestions?

Issue with CS6 Image in CC

Has anyone come across an issue with opening a CS6 file with luminosity, and other effects applied where when you open it in CC it drops most all the effects? Any solutions to this? I still need to be able to manipulate the artwork in CS6 and CC and allow others to open it but am concerned that the effects are dropping off. When I opened it in CC the artwork was completely changed due to colors changing and effects disappearing.

I don't have a direct answer to your question, as I still run CS6, but I do read this forum daily and I don't remember seeing any other complaints about your problem.As hard as that might make it for you to get substantive help, it might lead to a better understanding of the problem if you restate it with more specific details and better attention to your terminology. Here's what I mean:
Issue with CS6 Image in CC
Thread title says "image," which is a term most commonly applied to raster images as opposed to native Illustrator vector art. Nothing else in the post makes it clear whether your problem pertains to raster images, vector graphics, or both.
..with luminosity, and other effects applied...
Some ambiguity there too. Luminosity is a Blend Mode, whereas Effects are really something different. Again, it's not clear whether your problem pertains to Blend Modes, Effects, or both.
When I opened it in CC the artwork was completely changed due to colors changing and effects disappearing.
This sounds like a particular instance involving a particular file, but it's not clear whether your problem pertains to just one file, or several, or all. It would really help to post a detailed description of one instance, including the file contents, any/all Blend Modes and/or Effects used, and specifically, which ones drop away and exactly how it affects the outcome.

Uneven pen pressure in Photoshop CS6 Extended with Wacom Intuos5

I got Photoshop CS6 Extended recently, but the lines I draw in it aren't smooth, like they should be (example below).
The tablet produces perfect lines in any other bit of software (Flash, ToonBoom, etc.), but not Photoshop. I've tried lots of different solutions (uninstalling and reinstalling it, reverting back to an earlier driver, clearing preferences, etc.), to no avail. Oddly, my Intuos3 works fine in Photoshop, for a few minutes, before it crashes. If I try to adjust the Wacom Tablet Properties for CS6, it doesn't recognize any changes, but if I adjust the settings for Photoshop CS4, it does. All Wacom Drivers are up-to-date.
Any ideas on how to fix this would be most appreciated.

I've tried all of the above and had no results. I have the exact same issue as you, specially when working with a big brush. Even in the tablet settings panel I can see the sensitivity display go nuts after a certain threshold over 30% of pressure. I tend to use the hardest possible. At this point I think it's probably a hardware problem with the pen or tablet surface but still, I had an intuos 3 for many years without any trouble and the intuos 5 is giving me problems now . Also I replied to you becouse this was kind of the only part of the internet where I could find the exact same issue with a screencap of it. thank's in advance to anyone that have a workaround or news about this!!!

Wacom pen pressure sensitivity with PS elements 9

I was just using the free trial with CS6 and was able to get it to ignore the pen pressure sensitivity, so that it was the same size no matter how hard i pressed down. In elements I'm having a hard time in getting it to ignore the pressure sensitivity. I have the pen settings in the wacom software on the softer side so you dont have to press down hard to get the full size of the brush in photoshop, but when I go to test it out in PS it doesnt ignore the pressure.
Im using it on windows 7.
Any ideas?

With the Brush Tool selected in pse 9 did you look at the settings for the graphics tablet?
It's a small arrow as in the screenshot below to reveal the popup menu to set the pressure options.
Since you posted in the full photoshop forum you might post over in the photoshop elements forum if the above doesn't work:

Photoshop Pen Pressure Issues

I'm not actually sure that this is the correct place to post this. I don't have a question per se, as I've fixed the problem, but I would like to address an issue with Photoshop and my pen tablet and hopefully help others who might have the same problems. I recently built a new computer and, upon installing my Wacom Bamboo and Photoshop, found myself unable to use the pen pressure settings in Photoshop, which had previously worked just fine on my old machine. I tried everything I could find on the web to fix the problem: reinstalling the tablet drivers, installing old driver versions, turning on and off various settings, nothing worked, when finally I stumbled across a post by someone who offhandedly mentioned that they started Photoshop with their pen, instead of their mouse, and that their pressure settings worked just fine. I was kinda skeptical that such a trivial-seeming thing could be the fix, but I tried it, and lo and behold, it worked! If anyone here knows why I'd be interested in knowing, just for the sake of curiosity, but I hope this simple fix can save some time and frustration for other users.

Photoshop CC 2014 changes stylus use to use Microsoft system API's, with these API's you need to have Windows Ink enabled. These API's give better stroke results and improve the out of the box experience for users using Windows tablet/convertible devices. If you want to go back to the old WinTab implementation of previous versions do the following:
Create a file that contains instructions to revert to the WinTab functionality.
Create a text file in a text editor such as Notepad.
Type in the following lines:
# Use WinTab
UseSystemStylus 0
Save the file as a plain text file named PSUserConfig.txt, and save the file into the Photoshop settings folder: C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 Settings\.
To turn off the gestalt's functionality, delete the PSUSerConfig.txt file. Or, move it to a different folder if it doesn't contain any other commands, or change the lines so they read:
# Use Win8 native tablet support
UseSystemStylus 1

Sony Vaio Tap 11 Pen Pressure issues?

Hey everyone, I have a Sony Vaio Tap 11 and for some reasno the Pen Pressure feature isnt functioning within Adobe Products, I have tested it in another program and it worked fine, just not in Adobe products. Any suggestions?

I remembered coming across threads on issues with Sony Vaio, that they were about other models had been unclear to me.
But does Mr.Cox assessment
If the driver isnt' reporting pressure correctly, then it won't work in Photoshop.
The other 2 apps you mention use a different API for pen pressure -- so probably the older API is broken in your driver.
You'll probably have to go through Sony for driver updates.

not probably also apply in your case?

Pen Pressure Greyed out CS6

When attempting to set the brush to "pen pressure" it is greyed out.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the driver with the latest driver.
I have rebooted multiple times.
Reconnected the tablet multiple times.
Cleared out the options cache on the tablet.
Cleared out the options cadche on Illustrator.
None of these have worked.
I am running OSX 10.8.1 Mountain Lion with Illustrator CS6.
I'm running a 2008, Intel Macbook Pro with an Intuos 4 Tablet.

Have you looked at the tablets settings? Are Yiu sure that your drivers are updated for 10.8.1?
the latest is 6.3.3.3-3 from August 7 just makin certin it is the newest.
Did you try a new user account, did you try to reset Illustrators preferences or repair the permissions?

Issues with CS6 and Adobe Application Manager

When trying to open an Adobe CS6 application, a crashing loop begins. The AAM opens and closes once per second in the Dock, along with the application I was attempting to open. Because of the constant open and closing of these apps, it's almost impossible to get the mouse or keyboard to focus for enough time to do a force quit on either application, and a hard reboot is usually required to break out of the cycle. I had the entire suite uninstalled and reinstalled, but several weeks later, the issue resurfaced.

There was an issue with the serialization file created.
Creating a new serilaization file via AAMEE and running it resolved the issue.
Create a serialization file via AAMEE: http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/creativesuite/pdfs/Ad obeApplicationManagerEnterpriseEditionDeploymentGuide_v_3_1.pdf
And then run it via command line.
Here are the steps:
AdobeSerialization (serialization file created using AAMEE 3.1) is not a double clickable file. You need to run it via command line to serialize the products. the command line is -
AdobeSerialization --tool=VolumeSerialize --stream --provfile=”Absolute_Path_of_prov.xml”
where
--tool=VolumeSerialize: specifies that the tool needs to process the prov.xml file to serialize.
--provfile” specifies the absolute file path to the prov.xml file,
By default, the tool looks for the prov.xml file in the same directory as the executable file and so
typically you do not need to specify this option. (Specify this option only if the prov.xml file is in some
other location.)
Make sure you invoke command prompt with Admin privileges. Return code of zero means success.
Tiffany can you please confirm the same?

Saving issues with CS6

Is there an issue with saving in InDesign CS6? I keep trying to want to "Save" after I make a slight change and the software keeps trying to "Save As" and create a new file. I will not allow me to save over the old file and it's annoying the hell out of me.

No 3rd party plug-ins. I don't have any utilities running in the background.
The read only issue I think is the reason. I'll check on it and get back to you on what I find.
If this is the cause, then would this be a bug with ID? Why would a file I created on an accessible drive on my desktop or server open up as a "Read Only"?

How to fix issues with cs6

I bought the master collection of CS6 and its been great on my mac OS X Lion but recently I had to download the new OS X Yosemite and ever since then I've been having issues with my programs. I use Photoshop CS6 the most and now its been so hard to even work because hot key commands don't work half the time and other little things have made working on the program almost impossible. I don't know if I need to re-download the programs or what.

Did you install the WhiteWindowWorkaround plugin to work around several known MacOS issues?

CUDA Issues with CS6 Mac

All,
I'm currently having a really big problem with my Mercury Playback Engine and CUDA support.
I'm running 10.6.8 with a GTX285 graphics card.
After a long time getting the card to initially start working with CS6, I came across the current problem. I have to switch CUDA drivers every day. Basically, if the computer is restarted, I have to load the CUDA drivers from NVIDIA back onto the machine.
I've been flip flopping between 4.1.29 and the most current version. I can't seem to find anyone having this problem and the computer is starting to have performance/rendering problems after a week of doing this trick.
Any help would be appreciated.
Ryan

This sounds like a problem within OSX rather than Premiere Pro. It's hard to know what the problem is without more information, which I guess you don't really have.
When you go to System Preferences and click on the CUDA button (usually bottom row) what driver version and GPU driver versions does it say?
Have you tried completely uninstaling the drivers from your system and installing them from scratch?
We're runing with a GTX285 and not seeing these problems, so it almost has to be a system configuration problem.

Cache issue with CS6 Bridge

I'm getting an annoying issue when I open Bridge in CS6. I am informed that there is a problem with the cache and that I have to go to preferences, purge the cache. I've done this, but get same error message every time I open Bridge subsequent times. It is really slowing down my workflow. Am using latest version. Any ideas please?
Many thanks
Baxter

2. Reset preferences, reset the default workspace, and purge the cache.
Damaged preferences or workspaces can cause unexpected behavior in Adobe Bridge. Purging the cache can fix display issues for thumbnail previews.
Start Adobe Bridge and immediately press Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS) until the Reset Settings dialog box appears.
Select all three options--Reset Preferences, Reset Standard Workspaces, and Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache--and then click OK.
You can also purge the cache by doing the following:
Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Bridge > Preferences (Mac OS).
Select the Cache panel.
Click Purge Cache.
Or, you can manually purge the cache by doing the following:
Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Bridge > Preferences (Mac OS).
Select the Cache panel.
Look at Location and note the path for the Cache folder.
In the Explorer (Windows) or Finder, navigate to the Cache folder.
Drag the Cache folder to the Recycling Bin (Windows) or Trash (Mac OS).
