Pen tablet issue on cs6

i am using genuis pen tablet
and its not working properly on illustrator cs6
Please help

Although this description doesn't tell much about your problem (next time you'd might to be more specific about your system info and what exactly doesn't work), here's one thing you might try:
Download and install a Wacom driver (on top of your Genius driver). You don't need to set it up, it just needs to be there, so Illustrator sees it and is tricked into assuming a Wacom is present. That is a tip I once read on a web site dedicated to Wacom alternatives. I have never tried it, but it sounds sensible enough.

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.

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!!!

Windows 8 / pen tablet incompatibility

I'm coming from Photoshop CS3 on Win 7, which worked completely fine with my pen tablet (Bosto Kingtee 19MA), up to CS6 in Win 8.1 on a new computer.
The problem is: The pen works in literally every single application on this new system except Photoshop CS6 (not kidding, it even works in games). I'm pretty certain that this is a compatibility issue with a pen driver within Photoshop which is overriding the standard Windows Pen Tablet driver. And I was wanting to know how to disable the Photoshop pen driver and force it to use the standard Windows driver.
Now for specifics:
- Updating the pen tablet driver is not an option. Bosto appears to have no intention of releasing another driver for this tablet model and the existing driver mostly uses resources already in windows for settings, calibration and etc...
- The behavior of the pen in Photoshop is consistently different from the behaviors detailed in the windows settings (and the behaviors in other windows applications), which is why I'm sure that this issue has to do with a setting of some kind in how Photoshop is configured.
- The cursor follows the pen on-screen, but does not respond correctly to contact or the operation of the secondary click button on the pen within only the Photoshop window. I've tried this with a separate mouse unplugged and also plugged-in and there was no change in behavior.
What I've done:
- Reinstalled the pen tablet driver with the latest (dated May 2013)
- Restarted the computer
- Checked the windows pen and tablet settings.
- Verified that those settings are being ignored by Photoshop
- I'm presently avoiding reinstalling Photoshop because it was just installed. The pen driver was installed prior to Photoshop, and reinstalled after. There was no change in functionality.
- I've attempted to update Photoshop but it is reporting that the servers are down.
- Related: I've manually un-blocked Photoshop from Windows Firewall - and there was no change.
So I'm wondering if there is an update or patch which allows Photoshop to use the standard Windows pen driver (even at the cost of pressure/angle resolution), a config file I can edit to make it look at a different driver, or is there something else I can try.

ISSUE RESOLVED:
For others who may encounter this issue:
These are the steps which I found worked:
1. Search C:\ for "wintab32.dll", this is a Wacom driver packaged with windows (I thought it was the Windows Standard pen driver, but it is not!). You must remove this .dll file for the Bosto Kingtee 19MA tablet to work in Photoshop CS6 in Windows 8 or 8.1.
Also: There are two instances of this file in windows! Be sure to only remove the one in Wow64, not the one in the System32 directory. (I'm using a 64 bit OS, and I'm not going to make any assumptions about this situation in a 32 bit environment.)
2. Run the TouchPanel Bosto driver installer again, this replaces the Wintab driver... apparently somehow...
3. Manually Install the following updates for CS6: (do not use the Application Manager, it doesn't seem to catch these updates (on my system at least))
(Starting from the bottom with 13.0.1.1 and going up in order by date)
Adobe Photoshop 13.0.1.3 update for CS6

11/7/2013
Adobe Photoshop 13.0.1.2 update for CS6

10/8/2012
Adobe Photoshop 13.0.1.1 update for Adobe Photoshop CS6
22.6MB
9/27/2012
4. Restart Computer after the 13.0.1.1 update per the dialogue box's request.
5. After the 13.0.1.3 update is installed, the Bosto tablet should be working in Photoshop and Win 8.1!
Important Note:
Pressure sensitivity-controlled brush size might not work particularly well, HOWEVER the pen input appears sufficiently functional enough for applications such line work and basic tap-equivalent-to-left-mouse-click functions (which is all I need it to do anyway). There may be some other settings pertaining to pressure gradients, but at this point I'm just glad to have this input tool back!

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.

You have posted in the wrong forum since your state program is Photoshop Elements 8. You have posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing) and not the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum.
Please repost your thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum
Photoshop Elements
or otherwise you will have to wait for a moderator to see your thread here and then move it from here to there.
Until you get to the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum, please take a look at the following thread to see if it contains any Mac related answers for you in what appears to be a licensing issue.

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

Why can't I draw using my pen tablet in Flash?

I can draw with my pen tablet in Photoshop, but not Flash! I have a Yiynova tablet monitor that works excellent for drawing in Photoshop, but when I try to draw in Flash I get this odd straight line that goes straight off my canvas. Is this because Flash can't recognize my pen? I can still use the shape tool, and other parts the program by clicking around. But the second I try to draw, I only get this weird line --->

Hi,
This issue is fixed in latest Oct update of Flash Pro CC 2014. The new version is 14.1.0.96. Please check if you have this version.
If the issue is still happening, Can you please provide the following information
Flash Pro Version Number
Tablet model
Tablet driver version Number
Mapping mode set for the tablet ,Is it PEN mode or MOUSE mode.
----------------If its Mouse mode pressure and tilt does not work. Please set the mapping mode to PEN.
Also check what is the compatibility mode set : RightClick the FlashPro Application Shortcut -> Properties > Compatibility and checking the "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" option.
There was similar issue reported on Re: Sensibility on flash cc 2014. Check if this helps.
PS : Generally updating to the latest wacom driver and restarting the system and Flash Pro resolves most of the issue.Please try this once.Latest wacom drive can be downloaded fromhttp://us.wacom.com/en/support/drivers/

How to activate a pen tablet on photoshop on a All-in-one computer [touch screen]?

I have a all in one computer touch screen- and I can use a pen tablet right on the screen, it's active- but when I go on PSCS6 and try to use the pen tablet, it is not active onto the screen- where do you go to activate it?? Can you?

That is the question I asked you. I think you will find that your display only functions as a touch device. My old Wacom Intuos 3 Tablet was just a tablet device. My new Intuos 5 Touch is both a Tablet and touch device. When the pen is in close proximity with the tablet surface touch is turned of and it functions as a tablet. The Wacom device driver has some Touch functions the can be configured to work with Photoshop. I could configure touch so I could finger paint in Photoshop. Photoshop does not have its own touch support and touch settings. If you can find a device driver for your displays touch feature that use wintab api. to support a pen interface you may have a chance,

Photoshop CC doesn't recognize the right mouse button of my Wacom Intuos pen tablet, how do I solve this?

For some reason photoshop CC doesn't respond to the right mouse button that is on my tablet pen.
It's strange because it does work for illustrator CC, so why would photoshop CC not respond to it?
Anyhow, help please!

Is there a Graphic Pen Tablet that...

Is there a Graphic Pen Tablet that you don't move around by hovering the tip of the pen over the surface? I had one that I did not like that you had to hover the tip over the surface. Touching the surface was only for pressure brushes. Is there a tablet where you can just drag the tip of the pen on the surface to move it around? I find this much more precise.

I don't know of any tablet where you can't touch the pen to the surface. What tablet did you use that you were told, or thought, that you had to hover the pen above the surface of the tablet? Perhaps the pressure sensitivity was just set too high or something was wrong with the tablet.
Wacom tablets are generally felt to be of very high quality and are the ones I encounter most frequently.

Cinema LED 24" and Cintiq pen tablet same time connection???

Does anybody tryed to connect LED sinema display (via mini-display port and one USB), and active graphic pen tablet (Wacom Cintiq) as second display simultaneously?? Both devices required DVI or mini-display, how to separate a data signal to different monitors?? My application - retouch in Photoshop CS4, thanks in advance!

For what you want to do, it is not possible through one mini-display/dvi port as the graphics card can only handle 1 output at a time. Check out this little device. It'll turn one usb port into an average quality video output. I have my second Cinema display running off one of these. I wouldn't recommend playing games or anything on these though because the output frame rate is much too low. Check it out.

How can i change the color of pen tool in photoshop cs6?

I want to change the color vector of pen tool in photoshop cs6?

Just to make sure we're communicating properly...
Is it that while creating a path you want the thin lines, handles, etc. to be a different color?
Or is it that after you create your path you want to stroke it with a color? It IS possible to stroke a path, and even to have an automatic Layer Stroke on a path that's any size/color shape you want. Example:

IPad as a pen tablet for Adobe Illustrator?

I was getting ready to purchase a Wacom Intuous Pen Tablet. But a better solution my be an iPad. Is anyone using their iPad as a graphic tablet with Adobe Illustrator on your desktop Mac? If so, how does the iPad connect to your desktop? What app, if any, and what stylus have you found works best?
Thanks for your help.

What the iPad actually does is allow you to use it as a mouse not a pressure sensative tablet.
Said another way:
What the iPad tricks do is effectively allow you to use the iPad as another monitor, but one that happens to be a touchscreen. Being a touchscreen, your finger (or a blunt stylus) becomes the "mouse."
In other words, it's really just about using your iPad for ordinary remote access (which is reasonable), not about using your iPad as an alternate pointing device.
I agree with Scott. Nowhere near a practical substitute for using a Wacom stylus (and I don't even really like using Wacoms, either).
Ever visited a computer store and played with the HP turnkey system bundles that include a large touchscreen monitor? They predated iOS devices, and they are mostly a marketing flop. They just let you work on your computer as if it's a kiosk.
Who really wants to work that way? It's awkward, cumbersome, slow and laborious. Your hand gets in the way, and you get fingerprints all over the screen. Along comes grossly underpowered, overpriced iOS devices and suddenly everyone wants to use to use their iPads as a kiosk. (Okay, with the addition of zoom and pan gestures. But really...do you get excited about using a kiosk at the airport?)
That's why I much prefer using a stylus over my fingers on iOS devices (zoom jestures be hanged); which, in turn, I still find far inferior to using an accurate, sharp stylus on a 10-year old Palm Tungsten with its elegant and efficient Graffiti handwriting recognition instead of tapping an onscreen querty keyboard with what amounts to the stylus version of a fist-sized brick of sidewalk chalk.
We're all fad-chasing suckers, straining for excuses to waste good money on the lastest techno junk. I'm convinced that when the flash-in-the-pan (okay, marketing inferno) new wears offs, bulb-head aliens visiting earth will find these silly glorified finger-painting devices in the ruins, snicker, and count them among the myriad historic curiosities over which humans wasted ridiculous amounts of energy, time and money.
If you seriously want to pursue this for serious work, that $800 iPad fund that's burning a hole in your pocket is already over 3/4 of the way toward the real thing: a 12" Wacom Cintique; a drawing/painting stylus tablet that is also a monitor.
But c'mon...we all know what this is about. You can rationalize a drawing tablet for getting work done, but you just wanna buy an iPad. ;-)
Meanwhile, I'll still get more productive (paying) work done with a $39 optical mouse. ;-)

After installing Yosemite, I got this message 'this version of Pen Tablet Preference is not compatible with this version of OS X i.e. my Wacom Tablet software. Do I have to a new Wacom Tablet or is there a way to update my existing software for it?

After installing Yosemite, I got this message 'this version of Pen Tablet Preference is not compatible with this version of OS X ie my Wacom Tablet Software. Can it be made compatible without buying a new Wacom Tablet?

Ive just downloaded a Driver update from Wacom for my Tablet so hopefully this has resolved this problem.
