Photo shop Wacom tablet experiencing glitches

I am using photoshop cc
bootcamped mac running windows 7
I am currently using intuos pro
I have this problem when I apply a stroke immediately after color picking, the program adds a strait line of 100% pressure from the start of my stroke to the end of it.
because of this I need to press control z over and over to fix the odd line.
I tried re installing the tablet driver but nothing changed...
- Please Help!
- Thankyou
- Andy

I used a pressure sensitive brush here
everything is fine until I color pick
I color picked and used the brush right after
the brush does not respond intermediately but instead draws my stroke alter I release it.
Then it randomly connects a solid line from where the stroke started to where it ended!
D:
please help!

Crazy Wacom tablet behavior.

I use my Wacom Saphire CTE 430 for all my software. Recently I decided to move from Corel PhotoPaint to CS3. However, I am experiencing a very strange problem. If I use the mouse none of the photo shop paint tools work. If I use the pen the paint tools work but others do not. At first I thought is was my ignorance of PS and that I just needed to configure something. I eventually discovered that if I disconnect the tablet Photoshop works fine. I have downloaded and installed the latest Wacom Vista drivers as suggested by Wacom but it has not fixed the problem. PS is the ONLY program experiencing problems with the tablet. I run AutoCad 2008, Sketchup Pro and CorelDRAW X3 suite and they work flawlessly.
Any suggestions?

when not in use, move any tablet related devices - the stylus and the tablet's mouse - away from the tablet itself.

With Parental Controls on, Wacom Tablet pressure sensativity will not work.

I run several high-end Mac Art and Photo-based labs and have run into an issue with Leopard's Parental Controls and Wacom Tablets - when I choose to limit the programs that my users (students) can use, Wacom Tablets will lose functionality under those logins - and it seems only to be pressure-sensitive functions. I've tried several combinations of allowing all programs except utilities, with utilities, etc - no dice - I actually have to turn off "limit programs" and that is the only point that it'll actually let me use all the Wacom's functionality under those managed users - is there a way to fix this?

..."I've allowed all Utilities, Applications, etc and no matter what, as soon as I turn on the "only allowed selected programs" option, it won't work."...
I'm not sure, but it is possible that allowing / disallowing based on the pre-defined categories may not work because the software that Wacom uses on my system is in an atypical location, and has an atypical structure - it actually has one application contained inside another. It may be necessary to approve the apps explicitly.
Perhaps try either:
i) Opening "/Library" > "Application Support" > "Tablet" and explicitly dragging any apps present there into the "Parental Controls" pref pane in the panel where the programmes are listed. On my system, the app is called "PenTabletDriver.app"...
or
ii) Logging in to the managed account (with application restrictions in place), and trying to launch the "PenTabletDriver.app" programme. If this generates the "application is not allowed" message, it should be possible to "always allow" with "admin" authentication to white-list it at that stage...

Wacom Tablet causes Apple wireless keyboard to stop working.

My Wacom tablet/pen causes my Apple wireless keyboard to stop working. While working on a photo in Photoshop using my Apple (usb) mouse to make selections the keyboard works fine. When I use the Wacom Pen to make selections, not immediately but anywhere from five to ten minutes into it, I hear what sounds like a chirp from my computer (Mac Pro) and my keyboard stops working. The command, option, control and direction keys still work but not the number and letter keys. I have to connect a spare Logitech keyboard via USB in order to continue and not loose my work. After awhile I will hear the chirp again and the Apple keyboard will start working. This will continue to occur at irregular intervals. Without the spare keyboard I've had to reboot my computer (loosing all the work on the photo) to get the keyboard working again, but only for it to reoccur. Any suggestions to fix this would be appreciated.

The Mac inherently keeps all input methods active, such that you could type alternate keys on alternate keyboards.
If you have third party add-ons that might change the way Bluetooth works, those would be the primary suspects.
Be sure all your Drivers are completely up-to-date, and batteries in battery-powered devices are still strong.
Bluetooth uses the same part of the frequency spectrum (but a different modulation technique) as cheap WiFi Routers, baby monitors, and microwave ovens. if you live in a busy apartment building, there may be very high levels of interference.

How do I connect a Thunderbolt display to a 21UX Cintiq Wacom tablet with a single link DVD-I connector?

I just bought a brand new thunderbolt display along with a 2013 mac pro and I'd like to hook my 2 year old 21UX Cintiq Wacom tablet directly to the display using the thunderbolt port on the display itself. Currently, I have the Cintiq daisychain connected directly to the mac pro using an Apple mini display port -> DVI-D (dual link) adapter, which is then connected to a DVI-D (single link) -> DVI-I (dual link) adapter, which is then finally connected to the Cintiq's DVI-I (single link) connector (this is permanently attached to the Cintiq and can't be traded out). As you can imagine, what has resulted is a lot of color variations between the Cintiq and Thunderbolt displays (that color calibration in system preferences has not been able to remedy) as well as some flickering of both displays at random intervals. I'd like the colors of the displays to match as close as possible and for the flickering to stop, of course, and from what I understand, connecting the displays directly with as few adapters as possible is the best way to do that. Unfortunately, most of my searches have not helped very much. Here is a photo of my daisychained set-up to better assist anyone who thinks they might be able to help:
Lastly, just in case: the mini display port to DVI adapter is not compatible with the Thunderbolt display's port, which is why it is connected to the mac pro, so I imagine a solution might require searching for an adapter from a different manufacturer, if such a thing even exists. If not, what other solutions would anyone suggest to get the colors of the displays to match more closely and the flickering to stop as well as lessen the amount of adapters I am using?
Thank you!

From you picture, you have a Mini DisplayPort to Single-Link DVI-D adapter. (The last in DVI-D is for "Digital", not "Dual-Link".)
You don't need dual link unless the resolution is greater than 1920 x 1200.
Mini DisplayPort devices or adapters won't work plugged directly into a Thunderbolt display. You need a Thunderbolt disk or dock (with two Thunderbolt ports) connected between the Thunderbolt display and the Mini DisplayPort adapter.

How to I get the the Wacom tablet's pen sensitivity to work on Photoshop when it works in Flash?

Hi Everyone!
Alright so I did some looking around to see if I could use other threads to help solve my issue before I came here to ask. A lot of them seem to be related to surface pro and some of the instructions I followed was to remove USB drivers so that they can re-install themselves and simply re-installing the Wacom drivers.
I am on Windows 8 (64bit) and am using and Intuos 4 Wacom tablet and what seems to be most peculiar is that the pressure sensitivity seems to be working just fine in Flash but has never been able to work in Photoshop. I took this as a sign that this might be more of an issue with the application than the tablet itself since it is clearly registering in another application.
Sorry if this has been answered before! If so, it would be great to get a link otherwise I would greatly be indebted to those able to help me with my problem.
Thanks so much!

1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.

2)
Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

Photo Shop Alternatives?

I'm looking for a nice Photo Shop alternative for making thumbnails for my youtube videos.
I just don't want to have to pay a membership for an application that I'm not gonna use more then 1-2 hours
So if there are any applications that you can think of with a budget of 75$ max, then that'd be great
I'm greatly considering Pixelmator as it seems to be the best alternative but there could be a few that I don't know about so if you have any suggestions please reply to this!

Hi @NotHPsavy , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I see you're experiencing print issues from photoshop. I would like to help!
I have a couple of steps to start:
I'd recommend starting with a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I'd also suggest downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps!

Why does my Wacom tablet only make straight lines with the pencil & brush tool even WITHOUT shift?

I have Photoshop CS3 on Mac OSX 10.5.8 on a white MacBook and I'm using a Wacom CTE-630, and I always had the correct drivers.
Yesterday I discovered that the brush and pencil tools were incapable of doing anything but a dot or a straight line while I used my Wacom tablet. Using those tools with the touchpad works perfectly! Curves and squiggles abound! But for some reason I can't do it with my tablet.
And I yes I tried downloading the latest drivers from the Wacom website... to no avail.
After looking through forums I discovered that it was a problem experienced by users of tablets of other brands, I couldn't find any mention of Wacom tablets having this issue. And then I saw a thread somewhere that mentioned holding shift created straight lines! So I immediately thought that perhaps photoshop was functioning in reverse or maybe my shift button was broken...
So I pressed shift, and something different happened, if I made a dot on the page a line would automatically appear, connecting that dot to the previous dot I had made. Which is in contrast to the issue I had been having which goes something like this:
If I try to make any curved lines, a dot will appear where I first made contact on the page and then when I release the pen from the tablet a straight line will go from there to the dot at the start of the line. In other words, a dot appears when I start a line and no matter what I do with the line after that, a straight line goes from where I ended the line to where I started it!! ARGHHHH!!
And it turns out It's not a Wacom problem, or it doesn't seem to be, because it works fine with the brush tool in Illustrator CS3.
So I came to the conclusion it was Photoshop that was at fault. I found nothing on these forums related to my issue.
I hope someone can help. Because I was really itching to start digitally painting again. =(
Thanks in advance!!

Yes I did solve the problem!
Thanks to everyone that suggested things, but none of them worked. In the end it was Wacom, yes... WACOM that solved the problem. Even though it was an Adobe Photoshop issue as far as I could tell. So thank you Wacom, you helped me when I needed it most.
So now to the vital solution:
"Thank you for your recent enquiry regarding pen tool in Adobe Photoshop CS3.
Please try the step below for reset CS3
For MAC, please hold pressing command + alt+ shift, then open Photoshop.
Get the CS3 update. Start CS3 while holding.
If the problem remains, uninstall and reinstall Adobe Photoshop CS3 again."
Worked the first time for me. So spread the word! This issue shall trouble people no more, a solution has been found!

Scrolling through pictures with Wacom tablet in Aperture

HI Guys,
Is anyone a bit of a whizz on Aperture. I'm using Aperture 3 with a Wacom tablet on a Mac Pro.
I'm set the touch wheel to scroll as I want to use it to cycle through photos. It works in the Browser View (all pics on the screen), but does nothing when I try to scroll in Split View. I have to use 2 fingers on the Magic Trackpad to get it to scroll along.
Has anyone had this issue, or does anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks,
P x

You're welcome. Here's some more. Should give you some ideas .
... and so on. The radial menu is fast once you get used to it. And, imho, quite clever: I'd _much_ rather have context-sensitive radial menus than the silly stacked text menu we have now.
I highly recommend watching (and taking notes) from all 14 of the videos done by Rebekka Strauß. [Edit: number of videos corrected.]

Non-Wacom tablets and CS4 and Nvidia

I have a Trust tablet and CS4 and have experienced problems with draw. The problems have already been stated in the thread http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b6c5ed/53 regarding Wacom tablets, and apply to Genius tablets as well as Trust.
As I have said in that thread, when I draw with the tablet and then select another tool, such as type, then try and draw with the tablet again, all I get is a straight line between the start and the end point. There is no such problem in earlier versions of Photoshop.
However,I have just noticed something odd. I was experimenting, trying to fix the lag in my screen redraw, drawing and typing (also see relevant thread- "CS4 lag. What graphic card will it take?") and thought I would change the screen refresh rate. After I did that, the tablet started working again perfectly, and this "fix" works every time. This happens even if I start to change the screen refresh rate, but then cancel.
Since I have an Nvidia card, and this fix is playing with the card settings, I wonder if it is all related to the obvious problems CS4 and Nvidia have with each other? Can someone else try?

Lag in screen redraw is most likely a video card issue.
Bad lines, or a lack of pressure are due to tablet driver problems.
Do make sure you have Photoshop 11.0.1.

Security update 2011-011 caused problems for Wacom tablet

I have Wacom Bamboo Fun (model CTE-650) tablet, which have since worked well after every passed "security updates". However, after I installed new Security update 2011-011, it started to act weird. I can move pen pointer on screen, but cannot select anything and can't move windows etc..
I checked the disk, verified and repair permissions, and also tried to install most recent Wacom tablet driver but nothing have helped so far. Does anyone experienced this? Any solutions..?

I too have problem with my Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet (in this case the CTE-450). It acts as normal mouse, it does not map to the screen coordinates, only to up. down, left right movement.
When I open the Tablet preference pane, it tells me it does not detect any tablet. I restarted, and nothing. I reinstalled the latest driver (Driver 5.2.4-4(RC) for OS X 10.6, 10.5 & 10.4 (PPC & Intel) from 15 Feb 2011) and still does not work.
Apple... is it you who invalidated my valuable piece of hardware?

Aperture vs photo shop vs paint shop pro(

I'm a new Mac user..... on my PC I've used both Photoshop (harder to use) and Paint Shop Pro easier but still a lot of options). I'm not a professional photographer but I take a lot of pictures and enjoy enhancing them.... more then just taking the red eye out or slightly adjusting the colors. So I'm looking for some photo manipulation software that is deeper then just fixing your photos but not quite as complicated as Photo Shop is. Is Aperture the way I want to go?
Does anyone have any suggestions for me or reviews I can read?
Thanks, Susan

Hi Susan. I'm an experienced Photoshop user, but I'm using Aperture 2.0 for more and more of my post-processing of images that do not require masking. My workflow using Aperture for whole-image adjustments is faster and, with 65,000+ photos, the savings in hard drive space vs Photoshop will be huge.
I'm learning Aperture bass ackwards, in the sense that I've been drawn into its image processing abilities before learning how to use it for managing my collection.
Be aware that Aperture really hammers your hardware, especially the video card. Download the trial version to see if it will work well with your computer system.

What kind of brush to chose to paint adjustment layers and retouching in PS when using wacom tablet

I have just started using Wacom tablet (Wacom Intuos pro small).
I would like someone please to answer some of my queries:
Do you always put Pressure For Size on for retouching and painting adjustments layers masks?
What type and size brush you should use for painting adjustment layers masks?
What type and size brush you should use for retouching photos?
Will be happy to receive any links to video tutorial on this subject?
Thank you for your help and effort in advance

Same answer. Adjustment layers tend to need either very soft masking with a high level of feathering, or very precise using a small fairly hard brush.
But if I was doing the latter, it would be to adjust one particular part of the image, in which case I would usually make an acurate selection of that area before I opened the adjustment layer. This automatically fils the layer mask to your selection.
The sort of situation where I might be doing a lot of fine painting in a layer mask was where I had used Refine edge and output a new layer with layer mask. Refine edge often leaves errors that need touching up, but I would be using 100% opacity and changing the size, so I would have pressure change size.
It's entirely up to you to decided what works best in any situation, and to practice so you become familiar with the options - of which there are _many_.

XP Adobe Photo Shop into Leopard iPhoto 8

I have a PC using friend who is running Adobe Photo Shop on XP. Has lots of photos and is hesitant to move to Mac because of this. Can these photos be somehow exported/imported into iPhoto and keep their tittles and labels and such?

Bill:
The Document Title, Description and Keyword fields will be carried over into iPhoto if the file is a jpg. Photoshop format files, at least in my test limited test, did not include that data when imported into iPhoto. Those are the only formats I tested.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
