Pressure sensitivity in photoshop with Sony Stylus help

I just bought a Sony Vaio Duo 11 slate computer. It comes with a VGP-STD1 stylus where the pressure sensitivity works in Art Rage but not Photoshop. Does Adobe not support the Sony Stylus? It still works but no option for pressure sensitivity. Also no pressure sensitivity in Flash. Is there anything I can do?

Adobe supports any working stylus -- but your stylus may not implement all the APIs needed for applications like Photoshop.
Most likely you'll need to contact Sony and see if they have updated drivers for their stylus to support professional graphics applications.

How do I get pen pressure sensitivity in Photoshop CS5?

Hi
There is no sensitivity to pressure in my Photoshop CS5. I have installed the driver for my tablet (Intuos 4), but it still doesn't work. I have also clicked the icons for both pressure and opacity in the bar at the top, but they made no difference.
I see a triangle with an exclamation point in the brushes menu by the control options. It says "Control by pen pressure requires the use of a pressure sensitive tablet," so I take this to mean that my tablet isn't supporting sensitivity.
The tablet works just fine, but the sensitivity won't. What should I do?
Thanks

Hi,
I figured it out! Pen Pressure is working just fine now. Here are the steps I used to fix my problem. Thanks for your help, Noel!
Windows 7/Vista Pro Driver
-Disconnect the tablet from the computer
-Open your start menu and then the Control Panel
-Open programs and features
-Uninstall any listing here for Tablet or Wacom Tablet and then restart the computer
-After restarting, download and install only the latest driver (6.16) from wacom website
-Once the installation is complete, and the system is stable, connect the tablet.

Randomly losing pressure sensitivity in photoshop?

My tablet keeps randomly losing pressure sensitivity, like this:
Every few strokes it throws in one or a few strokes without pressure sensitivity. There seems to be no pattern to this.
The weird thing is that this seems to only be happening in Photoshop - I tried Paint Tool SAI and everything seems to be working fine there.
I use a Wacom Intuos3, Photoshop CS4 and Windows XP. My tablet is five years old and quite beat up, so its entirely possible that this is my tablet's fault, although I find it hard to believe, since it's never glitched on me like this.
Things I've tried and haven't helped:
Re-installing my tablet driver, changed nothing
Changing my tablet pen's nib, nothing changed
Downloading and using the trial version of PS CS5, same problem persisted.
Has anyone had a similar problem? What can I do to fix this?

You said that you reinstalled the tablet drivers. Are they the most current ones from wacom? (didn't specify, so i am asking)
Latest video card drivers (new ones for nov, nvidia) 2 of the 6 drivers that came out in the last 6 months had problems working with PS with some systems. The oct/nov drivers worke great though.
With your speakers are on, does it sound as though the tablet is disconnecting then reconnecting?
The sound your pc would make if you remove and plug back in a usb. though there should be some lag in the brush strokes as it finds the new drivers.
Did this start after a recent update to PS? If not, i assume that your PS is updated.
Are you using more cpu/ram than normal. Open your task manager and see. Also with internet browser closed, are you using internet? It could be malware.
I am jsut wondering if a fresh install of windows would fix the problem. That is often easier then trying to find a software problem. Though like you said, it could be hardware.
Though they are most likley not the problems, it may give you an idea on where to look for the problem.

TM2- no pressure sensitivity in photoshop!

hi guys, i just installed photoshop cs3 , which both do not work when it comes to pressure senstivity, ive tried updating it but still no go, please, need help!

That is the unfortnate side effect to these laptops (aside from overheating issues).
I have a HP Tx2, bought solely to draw on the screen.
Its good for writing and doodling, nothing serious (not that I am aware of). There ARE tablet pc's with pressure sensitivity (motion computing and some Toshiba's) otherwise this laptop wasn't one of them, unfortunately.

Portege z20t no pressure sensitivity in Photoshop CS6

Hey guys. I just bought a Portege z20t which is amazing, but I'm having one small problem. I can't get the pen to work properly in Photoshop CS6.
I downloaded the latest Wacom drivers for the pen and it only gives me erractic pressure sensitivity.
In the 64bit version of PS if I make stroke with the pen 9 times out of 10 there will be no pressure recognition but every once in a while there will be a stroke that works correctly with pressure information.
In the 32bit version there are little icons next to the pressure options indicating that pressure sensitivity is not available.
If anyone has any idea what I can do to fix the problem it will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Which Portege z20t do you have? Please provide the full model number. It is printed on the bottom of the computer. Do not proved the serial number

NO pressure Sensitivity in Photoshop CS6 - Genius MousePen 8x6

Greetings
I'm having some problems with my Graphic Tablet Genius MousePen 8x6 using photoshop CS6.
The program doesnt recognize the pressure sensitivity capabilities of the tablet. I check with the driver's tool and the pressure works correctly but inside photoshop CS6 the pressure doesn't work.
I have Installed the latest driver dated from May 2011.
I already contacted the manufacturer if there is an answer but there is no answer about it yet.
The program is up to date with the latest update patches and no effect.
I appreciate your answer.

Well since before to write this i already contacted the manufacturer and there is no answer yet.
Lets hope the manufacturer releases a new driver version more compatible with Photoshop.
I know this because when CS4 were released i had another kind of problem with the tablet and took around 6 or 7 months until they released a driver (back in then a beta and the later stable release) than was suitable.
So far is strange than no one had problems with the tablet but me.
Anyway i'll keep an eye here.

Pen pressure problems in Photoshop with the Yoga Thinkpad

Hi!
I'm having problems with uneven pen pressure in Photoshop. When draw a few lines very sensitive some of them get's thick like it was drawn with full pressure when it actually wasn't.
I installed http://www.wacom.eu/index4.asp?pid=9278&lang=en but still having the same problem
Is there any fix to this? Is this problem related to the device, to Wacom or Windows 7?

Most likely you'll need to contact Sony and see if they have updated drivers for their stylus to support professional graphics applications.

Turning off "Use Windows Ink" on Wacom Tablet Properties cause no pressure sensitivity in Photoshop CC 2014.2.0 (Windows 8.1)

Hi there,
As the title describes it's a Photoshop bug not a Wacom driver issue. Interestingly the Lightroom is working fine.
Check this video please:
Photoshop CC 2014 bug com messas graficas - YouTube

Ok, I understand that it is necessary to use the Windows 8 Ink but then why is it works perfectly in Lightroom? It's pretty difficult drawing if I want to start a line with a slow motion and the circle comes up nearly always.
I believe that many Photoshop users use Wacom products. Why don't you talk each other guys (Adobe & Wacom) and try to find a solution even if Microsoft made your life a bit exotic?

Importing movie with Sony camera help

I have a Sony Handycam DCR-HC38 video camera and have recorded some video that I would like to import into my imovie 08... I have the chord (USB) that connects the camera to my mac, and have plugged them in and my mac doesn't recognize my camera. I've turned my camera on, played back video on my camera, and still nothing.
Anyone know any tips on how to get my mac to recognize my camera? Any help would be great. Thanks!

You can't import from any tape based camcorder without a Firewire cable. If you have the newest MacBook Pro, it will have a 9 pin port, in which case you need to buy a 4 to 9 pin cable. If you have an older MacBook, it will need a 4 to 6 pin cable. If you have a new MacBook, you are out of luck as there is no firewire port.
All firewire cables, or iLink From Sony, are the same. Shop by price.

Wacom tablet pressure sensitivity, dont work outside canvas

Hi.
I wonder, if i'm the only one, who are having problems to start a stroke outside the canvas and follow it on the canvas, without the pressure sensitivity is all on max.
seems the same is happing, if you have marked an area and start at stroke outside that area. kinda like the brush only start recognize the pressure level when on the canvas or marking.
does it make sense?
running windows7 64bit intous3 A4.
tested in on my my laptop too on the intous3 A5, same problem.
/cheers

Hi JJMack
thx for your comment
- i'm on photoshop cs5, any brush thats pressure sensitivity, did it with both docked and floating canvas.
I think i've fixed the issue.
Apprently its a problem with the newest version of the wacom driver. And somehow it only affects photoshop.
i've downloaded the march 2010 driver from wacom. And installed that. seems to be fixed.
/cheers

Pressure sensitivity on X230T and trouble with Photoshop

Would anyone know how many levels of pressure sensitivity there are on the X230T?
I ask this because I have just installed Photoshop CS6 and I seem to have many issues sketching. I will be drawwing a series of light lines and then suddenly a big fat line will appear, I will continue sketching and this will happen over and over again.
I am very frustrated since I bought this specifically for Photoshop. Does anyone know why this is happening? I already turned off the "hold pen down to right click" feature, but I continue to have this issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe this could help:
http://www.howtomakeonline.org/EAiRjMoney7gb1yD/Lenovo-ThinkPad-X230T-Touch-And-Digitizer-Pen-Input....
In this 256 levels of pressure sensitivity are mentioned (which would make sense, because it would point to an 8bit ADC in the digitzer for pressure measurement).
If you don't trust this number (as I would do, because it is mentioned only in one occasion in the web (or google search ;-) )) then you could also check the Wacom site for their more low end products and their specs.
Using x230t (i5-3320M, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 80GB mSata-SSD) and loving it!

Photoshop CS6 Brush pressure sensitivity not working on the Microsoft Surface Pro.

I have just purchased a Microsoft Surface Pro in anticipation of running Photoshop on it. I installed Photoshop and tried to do some sketches. I created a new file and started sketching. I Immediately felt like something was wrong. I checked my brush settings and saw the pressure sensitivity was not available. Everytine I tried to turn it on it was marked with an exclamation point.
Does anybody know if Adobe is supporting the new pressure sensitive pen from microsoft, or if there is some sort of setting that I am missing? I have tried sketchbook pro 2011, and that works amazingly well with the pen. I hope someone can help me along here, because if this tablet can truely run photoshop, it would be a Game Changer.

Just curious.... has any of you tried the shape dynamics in photoshop and turning on pen pressure?
and in illustrator to modify the size to pressure and variation to maximum? (and of course select that brush preset that you just modified and draw with it using SHIFT+B for blob brush or B for regular brush)
I am also interested in purchasing a Surface pro so please report if this helps.
what I recently discovered in other forums is that Sketchbook Pro works flawlessly in desktop mode. Sketchbook Express in the APP mode doesn't support pressure yet.
there is no official confirmation that the surface pro uses a wacom digitizer, however a few artist friends of mine have gone to the microsoft store... brought their own wacom pens (cintiq 15x pen - older models that works with general tabletpcs) and the pro recognized it. which means that it is a wacom digitizer. it wouldn't make sense if a wacom pen works with a different digitizer board like N-trig.
also read in another forum about adobe using wintab and windows 8 wintab drivers are not there yet.
anyway... I'd be glad to know if this works or not
thanks!

Change pressure sensitivity of the stylus?

So my stylus sucks. I can be holding my stylus off of the screen about 3 cm from the screen and it will write on the screen. This makes actually writing on the screen nearly impossible as my handwriting is completely illegible from this issue. I have replaced my stylus multiple times and that never fixed it. Then a few weeks ago I was messing with the settings and found that I was able to adjust the pressure that it took to make the pen write. And my problem was fixed. I noticed the other day that the stylus had reverted to the old ways and so I went in search of the settings for the pen, and I can no longer find the settings menu where I was able to change the pressure sensitivity. This menu had a picture of the pen and also gave you eraser options (even though the stylus doesn't have an eraser) and calibration options. I have searched high and low for this menu and I have taken it to the lenovo people (my school has a special relationship with lenovo so we have like a mini computer fix it place in the school where we take the computers when we have issues which unfortuantely happens a lot) and they have not been able to find the menu again either. Does anyone happen to know how to adjust this setting or know a driver I can download or some way I can make my pen usable again?
I have the Lenovo Helix. I am completely up to date on software and this problem has been occuring since when I had windows 8. Currently running 8.1.

Good day and welcome to the community.
Sorry you're having difficiulties.
It would be helpful to know which X series tablet laptop you're using, along with which OS. That may well help fellow community members assist you.
Thanks.

Hp Pavilion 13x2 & Stylus Pressure Sensitivity

I'm looking into getting myself the HP Pavilion 13X2 at some point. I'm a graphic designer in need of a new computer. I would really love to have a laptop that doubles as my workspace/medium. I was looking at a lot of other brands of convertible lap tops and none(within my price range at least) seamed to support any styluses with pressure sensitivity. I was wondering if the 13X2 supported any styluses with pressure sensitivity. This is a real deal breaker for me so its important that i find something that can.
This question was solved.

Hi Rayze, I did some research on the questions that you posted about pressure sensitivity and unfortunately this model of computer does not support the use of stylus. I would suggest that you go on line to www.hpshopping.com . On this site you can actually price compare from model to model as well as pull up multiple spec pages so that you can compare side by side what model is best for you.
Hope this helps.
