PS CS3 responding to Pen Pressure instead of Pen Tilt, Cintiq 21ux

Hi,
I'm using a cintiq 21ux with PS CS3. When I choose to have brush size controlled by pen tilt, it instead responds to pen pressure (but still lists the control as pen tilt). Corel does recognize pen tilt appropriately, however. Is there a problem with Photoshop or my tablet, and how can I fix this?
Thanks,
CW

Just had this issue with the latest drivers from Wacom (6.3.11-4a) and my old Intuos 3 and found a solution.
It seems any time Wacom updates their drivers, it breaks pressure sensitivity in a random adobe application. This has been happening since.. well.. forever. Wacom and Adobe need to get their **** together.
I fixed my issue by installing an older wacom legacy driver (6.1.7-3). I didn't try any other versions, this one just happened to work for me. You might need to try multiple older versions.
Legacy Drivers | Wacom
My Steps:
- Download an older legacy driver (6.1.7-3 worked for me)
- Unplug your tablet USB
- Uninstall your wacom driver
- Restart
- Install the old driver
- Plug in your tablet and let windows do its thing
- Pressure sensitivity should be working now
I was also having issues with the color picker in Flash CC taking a while to load when using the tablet. That seems to have been fixed as well.
Hope this helps!

  • Pen Tilt for Size Dynamics - not working.

    I am using Photoshop CS and a Wacom Intuos3 with updated drivers.  (6.1.3-5)
    Using Photoshop's brush tool dynamics, I set Size Dynamics to pen tilt - not pressure - yet the pen's pressure still exclusively aff
    ects the brush size when drawing.
    I would like to have the tilt of the pen control the brush Size, much like using a blunt end of a pencil vs. the sharp tip.
    In a separate test, I set the brush Opacity dynamics to pen tilt, and it worked as expected: a near full opacity with a vertical pen
    , and almost no opacity with a highly tilted pen. Pressure had no effect, as specified. So, the tilt functionality of the pen defini
    tely works.
    How can I resolve this issue and get the Wacom pen's Tilt to affect Photoshop's Brush Size Dynamics?

    This is a known issue that has plagued PS for many interations. The team has to re-write the code and is not sure when the problem will be corrected so that it will be fully functional. Don't hold your breath for CS5.
    There is a really long thread on this.

  • How to disable Wacom pen tilt in CS5?

    Hello all,
    Does anyone know where the option is to turn off / disable the pen tilt in Photoshop?  Sometimes I want it active and sometimes I don't.  I have Photoshop CS5 and an Intuos4.  I have tried searching the forums and the web but I can't seem to find any information on doing this.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi
    I know this is a fairly old thread, but did you find a solution for this? It's driving me nuts too. I've found that if the pen is kept away from our Intuous4 for several minutes, and all the tilt settings are switched off, it works fine when the pen is returned. Swap the pen over to eraser and then back to normal way up and the tilt starts being detected. I've looked through all the Wacom & PS settings and everything to do with tilt is disabled, in complete conflict with what I can see on screen when I'm drawing.
    Here's a quick image to demonstrate what I'm experiencing:
    The first line was using the mouse, the second line was done with the wacom pen (after it had been well away from the tablet for several minutes). The brush animation simply showed pressure at this point. I turned the pen over, used the eraser then swapped back and drew the third line, but this time the animation showed lots of tilt (as shown in the left panel), and you can see the brush effect is very different.
    Any help muchly appreciated

  • Probleme mit Photoshop CS6 und Wacom Cintiq 21UX Pen-Display

    Hallo zusammen, ich hoffe man kann mir hier weiter helfen.
    Seit ich Photoshop CS 6 auf meinen Rechner habe (Windows 7 64Bit, 8GByte Ram, Nvidia GTX 460 Grafikkarte) habe ich Probleme beim Zeichnen probleme mit dem Drucksensitiven Stif meines Wacom Cintiq 21UX Pen-Display.
    Es tritt immer wieder Sporadisch auf, das wenn ich z.B. einfach Striche Zeichnen will, Gerade oder Geschwungene aus dem Handgelenk raus, das diese plötzlich in voller Pinselgröße erscheinen, ob wohl Photoshop so eingestellt ist, das die Pinselgröße durch den Stiftdruck gesteuert werden soll.
    z.B. möchte eine Art Grass Zeichnen also setze ich den Stift an und Zeichne los, die ersten Sekunden kann ich diverse unterschiedliche Striche zeichnen, dann setze ich wieder zum x-ten mal den Stift für den nächsten Strich an und dieser wird in voller Pinselgröße  gezeichnet, egal wie stark ich mit dem Stift aufdrücke, wenn ich den Stift wieder anhebe und wieder neu aufsetze geht es wieder oder auch mal nicht.
    Ich weiß nicht wo das Problem ist den in Photoshop CS5 habe ich das noch nie gehabt.
    Ich nutze viel die Standard Pinselspitze, aber auch bei anderen Pinselspitzen ist dieses verhalten gegeben, in anderen Programmen mit der Drucksensitiven Stift unterstützung habe ich keinerlei Probleme.
    Habe auch die Wacom-Sift einstellungen schon wieder auf Standard zurück gesetzt auch ohne erfolg, auch aktuelle Wacom-Treiber installiert, auch ohne erfolg, es liegt an Photoshop CS 6
    Wer kann helfen, oder könnte jemand das Problem an Adobe schicken, ich kann leider kein Englisch, habs schon mal in Deutsch an Adobe geschickt aber bis heute keine rückmeldung erhalten.
    Bedanke mich schon mal im voraus für jede Hilfe.

    Das sind irgendwelche Fehler im Wacom-Treiber in Kombination mit bestimmten Grafikkarten und PS' Hardwarebeschleunigung. Eine wirkliche Lösung zu dem Problem habe ich noch nirgendwo gesehen, aber vielelicht hilft ja das Ausknipsen von OpenCL oder andere Grafikeinstellungen im System.

  • Troubleshoot using wacom cintiq 21ux pen tablet with Photoshop cs5

    Hello to all.
    got my new Cintiq 21ux today. ! its my first pen tablet and i really love it !
    i worked it perfectly on my photoshop cs4 and after watching some videos and reading articles i decided to upgrade to CS5 and that is when all the problem started.
    long story short it seems like every time i open photoshop CS5 my wacom keyboard shortcuts and the pen calibration feat' vanish like i never did them and i need to re do them again from scratch.
    to be more percise with my broblem:
    I spent about an hour fixing the all the keyboard shourcuts on the Wacom "Tablet Properties Shortcut" menu (from the control panel) and i calibrated the pen.
    after installing photoshop CS5 I lunched it and when i grabe my pen to try and work in the cs5 i got a messeage "Pen display tablet calibration reminder". i got the same message when i used the tablet for the first time and to my suprise when i went to the "Wacom Tablet Properties" menu - all the shortcuts i made disapper as i have never done them....
    I maid a new keyboard shortcuts for the photoshop cs5 and closed the "Wacom Tablet Properties" menu. i opend it again just to make sure that the shortcuts had been saved and they had.
    i opend the photoshop cs5 for the seconed time and when i moved my pen close to the tablet i got again the pop up window with the messeage "Pen display tablet calibration reminder".
    needless to say - all my keyboard shortcut vanished again as never been maid.
    i am using a strong pc computer with windows 7 and i have i downloaded and installed the latest cintiq wacom driver - the 6.1.5-3 driver version.
    thx in advance @

  • Rotate 'pen tilt' brush control to compensate for new cs4 document rotate.

    Hey guys. Great new stuff in CS4.
    I have one little issue with the awesome new ability to rotate the document. It appears that the pen tilt is not also rotated to correspond to the rotated screen.
    I've a lot of brushes that use pen tilt to rotate the effect of a brush. The use of this effect varies, but there's usually a direct correlation to the position of the brush "ie" the brush is aligned parallel to the brush.
    It appears that when the document is rotated, the pen tilt is not then rotated inversely to compensate for the document rotation.
    Hence, If I've a brush that I use to draw ... let's say fence posts, and it's designed so that the fence posts are drawn facing perpendicular to the brush angle where when the wacom pen is oriented with it's tip pointing due left, the fence posts will be drawn vertically.
    Still with me?
    * Pen facing left, fence posts vertical.
    If you then rotate the screen 90* Clockwise, the posts will now be drawn parallel to the pen orientation.
    Ideally, the tilt would compensate for the screen rotation so that the brushes would maintain consistent interpretation to the pen tilt.
    That wasn't the most articulate thing I've ever written, but I hope you were able to understand my point.
    Thanks so much.

    I work on Photoshop C4 with an Intuous 3 tablet as well as a Wacom tablet built into the body of my Lenovo laptop.  The tilt function doesn't seem to work on either tablet.  Just to be clear, I'm trying to control the angle jitter according to the angle that my pen is held.  I set the Shape Dynamic to Pen Title and the Angle Jitter to 0% and the little example, which shows what the brush should look, represents exactly what I would like for the pen to do.   But, no matter what angle I hold the pen, I get the same brush shape.  And that brush shape is the same as setting no Angle Jitter at all.  Is there any fix yet?

  • CS3 Tablet PC, pen pressure not working.

    http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p101/Shokemn/photoshoppen.png
    is what my settings for pen look like right now
    but my issue is that theres no sensitivity every time i set it to "pen pressure" the little triangle pops up beside it saying I need a pen pressure sensitive tablet.
    But I do have one, I have a tablet PC (laptop with a touchscreen) specifically its a HP Pavilion tx 2000.
    What i'm hoping to have it look like:http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p101/Shokemn/photoshoppenafter.png
    any help would be super appreciated i dont know what to do at this point.

    People report time and again that COMPLETELY removing the old driver, then installing the latest, does good things for them.
    Photoshop, being an advanced application, demands a lot of the components it works with.

  • I have pse 12 i bought a wacom intuos pen tablet small recently but when i click on the tablet options only the opacity pressure sensititive option works everything else does not respond to pen pressure sensitivity

    who's fault is it adobe or wacom?who should fix the problem or can i fix it on my own? the wacom driver is up to date just in case u suggest that to me.

    This is the Photoshop Touch for tablets forum. But anyhoo... 
    I have a Bamboo Splash tablet that I use with Windows 8.1 64-bit but have zero problems using it in Photoshop CC 2014.2.2. Things that come to mind to me are:
    You didn't mention what model tablet. Wacom has a range of drivers for your specific model here. Try that.
    There's no way that you can install Mac drivers on a Windows system. Mac drivers come as DMG files; Win drivers come as EXE files.
    If you have the proper drivers installed and it's still giving you overall system issues, look into other aspects of your system. e.g., Are there other applications running in the background that could interfere? Exit them. Are all the drivers for your components updated? (Video, audio, etc.) If you don't feel computer savvy, get someone who is to take a look.
    ON EDIT: I am a derp. I just saw the thread title. Sorry about that. Go to the link I posted above to find the Windows drivers for the Intuos 4. 

  • X61 Tablet stops responding to pen

    Greetings, all!
    I have an X61 Tablet 7767-02U (call it X61 A) that is barely three weeks old.  Was working wonderfully until yesterday.  When in tablet mode, it will not respond to the stylus (pen) input.  Stylus from a second, identical X61 does not work on X61 A.  Both stylus pens work on X61 A when not in the tablet mode.  Both pens work in all modes on tablet # 2 (call it X61 B).  What could have happened to the X61 A, the first tablet?
    Pen works when in laptop mode, not in tablet mode.  I know it is not the stylus pen, as the stylus pen works on the twin X61 tablet.  I removed the WACOM driver from the device list, rebooted, and the driver was back, but still no joy.  Ideas?
    Thanks in advance!! 

    I have an update.  I haven't found out anything new from Lenovo or Wacom, but I've been tinkering around, observing what happens. 
    The pen/stylus still freezes once in a while, and I've have not been able to find a "direct" means to "reenabling" it, i.e., I haven't found an explicit source for the problem such as a bad driver, or some button I can do to make the pen/stylus and the laptop start to interact with each other again.
    However, (interestingly enough), if I place my note book in "sleep mode," and/or "suspend," then bring it back the pen/stylus relationship is rebuilt/reconnected and it works fine.  I've tried this several times when it freezes and it works consistently.
    With a little more information about a) Wacom / Pen relationship b) the Wacom / Pen relationship to the notebook c) the "sleep mode / suspend" operation, we could start to piece together what the cause is.
    That is to say, what happens when the laptop is placed into sleep mode, vs what happens when it is brought out of sleep, i.e., what operations does the laptop re-initialize when it wakes up? 
    The bad news is all of this, although, ultimately knowable, is probably too tecnical and/or would just take too much time to figure out.  Someone at Lenovo / Wacom, who is more technical, will ulitimately have to figure it out and fix it. :-)
    All and all, I'm happy it is still working, apparently some people's stylus just totally stops working.
    Thanks again for the update.

  • My trackpad/lion/wifi was unresponsive except to a forceful tap. OK now and responds to slight pressure after changing the batteries.

    Without warning the trackpad seemed to freeze responding only to a forceful tap. I changed the batteries though they were shown as being at 29% power. Even this didn't seem to make a difference then after a frustrating hour the track pad reverted to its old self wih a responsive pad i.e slight pressure for a click. The original batteries showed plenty of juice when checked. Bluetooth showed as connected. At a loss to understand this and keen to avert a repeat occurrence. Was this just a glitch or a widespread problem? I am new to this forum so looking forward to your comments.

    No, not paired to anything else, fresh out the box connected to the mac mini I bought at the same time, never been paired with anything else.
    I think it's a hardware issue. As I don't seem to be able to get it to turn off.

  • How to reverse Pen-tilt display/cursor?

    Took a screen shot of a Youtube vid, then took a screen shot of the screen shot. Essentially, I don't have that grey box anymore. I dropped the pen and it swapped it to the cursor. So now I see the tilt and brush shape instead of the circle and the grey box is completely gone. How do I get the box back?

    It should be fairly trivial to add a reverse array before displaying the data. Keep in mind, when you display the data on the Front Panel, you can keep a parallel branch wire on the Block Diagram that is not affected by the Reverse Array.
    Also, if you are displaying many of these arrays, perhaps you could use a 2D array on the Front Panel to show all bitmaps at once? Or, a 1D array that contains a cluster of the Boolean array if the Boolean arrays are ragged/jagged. Using this method would be scalable, meaning you would need only 1 Reverse Array for N arrays you want to display.
    And smercurio_fc is right about the XControl being able to display a reversed array. But if you're not willing to drop Reverse Array in a few places, you're probably not willing to bite off the non-trivial task of creating an XControl (there's a moderate learning curve for getting the hang of creating a good XControl).

  • Disable Pen Tilt in PS CC 2014

    Okay, so I just want to disable pen angle affecting my drawing in photoshop. It wasn't there and now it is (though I managed to close the little window -- where did it go?), so how did I do this? And how do I make it go away? I just want to use the pen without the tilt of it mattering. Please, help, going nuts here.

    Apparently I'd pressed that button with the pen and little ripples around it. I reset the tool and everything went back to normal - TG. I was about to throw the whole thing out the window. LOL.
    And if I have the issue in the future, I will definitely try your suggestions. Thank you!!

  • Pressure problems with CS5 and Cintiq 12WX

    So I have Photoshop CS5 and a Cintiq 12WX. I use 64bit and Win 7. When I'm drawing, at what seems to be random times, the pressure will turn off. It  might work the next time I draw a line or after the 7th or 8th time.
    I don't remember this ever happening with any other programs (including CS4) so I'm guessing it might well be CS5 to blame for this more than the Cintiq. Does anyone have any experience with this? Could it be something clashing  causing the sensitivity to turn off?
    Thanks for your time.

    There is a known issue with the very latest Wacom driver for the tablet.
    Most people find that visiting the Wacom site and downgrading to a slightly older driver alleviates the problem you're reporting.
    At the moment, owing to search problems I'm unable to find the specific thread here that identifies the version you need.  I think it was something like 6.1.5.

  • Using the Wacom tablet on CS6

    I am on the creative cloud and have down loaded and successfully installed PS6.  I am a professional illustrator and use the Wacom tablet.  My concern is with the pen pressure effect not staying on.  I have went to help option on PS6 and checked for updates and down loaded them with no results and called support as well please help. I went to the Wacom sit as well to check to if my drivers are updated and they are, and called their support as well with no results.  I understand that PS6 is a new product and that I may have to wait for patches, that is fine.  If there are any other options please advise.

    Actually I am having similar issues with Photoshop CS6 extended and the Wacom Intuos2 tablet, that is, there's a variable that CS6 will not work...in my case, it's tilt and rotation.  I can get pressure sensitivity to work, but Photoshop CS6 doesn't respond to tilt or rotation.  (This is frustrating as I have a painting project coming up in a Photoshop class and I can't get the brush to work right...).  Pressure response is fine for me, but the computer will not register the tilt of the pen.  When I try it in a different program on my computer (Corel Painter 12), the mouse icon and pen strokes all show that the program is receiving and processing pen tilt, rotation, orientation (pen tip vs. eraser) and pressure.  When I try my tablet on Photoshop CS5 on the Mac in my classroom, Photoshop CS5 also responds to pen tilt, rotation, orientation, and pressure.
    I have thus far completely deleted the Wacom drivers and reinstalled them with the latest driver version.  This has had no effect.  From all I can tell, the tablet seems to be working, but CS6 extended isn't reading.  What am I missing here?

  • Pen Pressure in CS4 Vista 64-bit

    Even through all other applications on my PC were able to respond to tablet pen pressure, CS4 running in Vista 64-bit did not. I was able to get the pressure to work when executing the 32-bit photoshop.exe found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Photoshop.exe. I'll continue to use the 32-bit program until Adobe solves this in the 64-bit version.
    It was good of Adobe to automatically install both a 32-bit and a 64-bit version of the program.
