Reverse Pen Pressure Effect.

the default makes perfect sense, but i'd like an option to reverse pen pressure per effect. for example for opacity, i would like no pressure to = full opacity and lot's of pressure to = no opacity, etc. that particular setting plus size pressure control would produce a thin dark brush stroke to a transparent large brush stroke. it would simply be awesome! ... and useful.

I think Gabriel's comment was missing a question mark. It seems to me he was more asking a question than making a statement that it should be easy.
As for me, I will continue to *guess* what's easy and what isn't because I think it's fun! And regardless of whether it's easy or not, this is a feature request forum for both easy requests and hard requests. Adobe should be thankful there are so many people willing to spare their valued time to submit feature requests at all! It's all about making a better product.
That said, feature requests like this this particular request *should* be relatively easy. If it's not, it probably has more to do with a weak foundation. Surely, it has to be easier than creating an entirely new tool!

  • Inverse / reverse pen pressure settings?

    There have been a topic about this basic setting back in 2009.
    Is it still imposibble to achive a setting with wacom pen tablet to draw at full brush size with minimum pressure, and to make precise, small size brush strokes with harder pressure?!
    If it is still imposibble in a leadership software, the drawer has to push the pen all the way down in 95% of the work process, and lighter for the rest 5%... It should be reversable on the brush panel!

    Just had a look round.  I found the thread from 2009 where Chris Cox said it was on their to-do list, but AFAIK that has not been actioned yet.  I also had a look at the table properties, and Wacom forums, but nothing their either.
    So all in all, it's yet another feature that Lazy Nezumi Pro has managed to add to pen tablets.  Guillaume (the man behind LNP) is a one man tour de force who never stops improving his product, and you get all those updates for ever once you buy the plugin. 
    A little story...
    I was working on Christmas day — my wife was on duty at the hospital and there are few things I like more than messing with Photoshop — but ran into difficulty with LNP because its panel was off my screen.  Nothing I tried could fix it, so out of desperation I used the chat feature on the LNP site, and surprise surprise, Guillaume was also working on Christmas day.  He spent the next 15 minutes helping me fix, before, no doubt, going back to adding yet more value to LNP.
    In case anyone ever has this happen to a multi screen Windows 7 system (these criteria were all instrumental to the cause). Go to
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Lazy Nezumi\Lazy nezumi Pro\MainWindow
    And change the value for point to @Point(0 0)
    It will have a minus value if you have the problem.

  • Does Lightroom's brush tool support Wacom Pen Pressure?

    Does Lightroom brush tool support true "pen pressure" from the Wacom Intuos tablets?  According to Weston Maggio and Joe Sliger of Wacom (in numerous Webinars), "Pen pressure has been supported since Lightroom version 2."  I have used Lightroom's brush tool extensively and find no difference between the Pen and the Mouse.  The FLOW slider seems to be the only thing that adjusts how much effect applied.  If you continue to 'paint' your brush adjustments over an area with a flow of 20% it will gradually build up with either pen or mouse but the amount of pressure on the pen appears to make no difference.  If there is "Pen Pressure" available how do I enable it?  Thanks

    No, it is not. Wish it was for adjusting the "flow" in the adjustment brush, but that's really what Photoshop is for (meaning local adjustments). I perform all global adjustments in Lightroom and open the image as a smart object in Photoshop. Much better control, Lightroom is too limited as to local adjustments to be truly useful. Other than "flow," I see no reason for pen pressure so it's ok.

  • Pen-pressure control both opacity\flow AND size?

    I distinctly remember very early versions of Photoshop (even well before CS, perhaps) in which I could choose a brush that was very valueable to me and that would allow me to control with Wacom pen pressure both the opacity and the size of the stroke. I vaguely remember it had to do with the air-brush icon
    I can no longer find such a brush in photoshop.
    In all my attempts to play with the options or brush settings, or choosing the `pressure opacity icon` or the `size opacity icon` and all combinations I tried, I caouldn`t find a brush that will allow me to control both, and I remember and know that once it did exist...
    In screenshot 1 I show how when choosing opacity pressure control one gets these wonederful soft, cloudy, fluffy, gradient edges but how  even if the strokes seems to grow a bit thinner is actually the same width between the two parallel red lines.
    In screenshot 2 I show how when choosing size pressure control one ges these pointy sharp edges and not the cloudy gradients of the previous example
    In screenshot 3 I attemp[t a simulation - An artificial representation of the look and feel of that brush i`m referring to, long lost to me, that has both soft edges and can still be reduced to a thin line at the same time.

    Conroy, the point you bring up is important, thank you.
    The fade size and flow stroke would give the exact effect I`m looking for, if it could only be truly controled and did not impose a set and limited effect, in the sense that the stroke cannot be either lengthened, dragged,or modified in any way. It`s mere existence indicates that such an effect is still doable within the photoshop visual language.
    If only I could find how to be able to get such an effect for actual drawing...
    The loss of this ability spells a great handicap in my ability to use Photoshop.
    I think that all I needed in ancient versions was to click the airbrush icon and I would have it, but now clicking this icon seems strangely to yield no visible effect, which is also a tell-tail sign by itself, don`t you think?
    I wondoer whether other Wacom users are having the same problem and whether they are not too, suffering tremendously from the inexplicable dissapearance of that ability.
    I`m currently using a 12WX Cintiq Wacom tablet, always with the latest drivers.

  • Photoshop CC on Sony's Vaoi Fit15A (pen pressure problems)

    This question is very specific. I just downloaded the trial version of Photoshop CC on a new Vaoi Fit15A. It's like a hybrid between a tablet so I can supposedly draw on the screen directly. (So I don't have a pen tablet.) My problem is it doesn't register the pen pressure. I also tried borrowing a wacom bamboo to see if it can feel that, but nope, PS CC still won't recognize the pen pressure even from a pen tab. What should I do? Thanks to anyone who can help!

    Hi! Thanks so much for replying
    I tried attaching a bamboo create to see if it could sense the pen pressure. Alas, it still couldn't. I already installed the drivers but it still wouldn't.
    So um, just letting you know that I did take it to the store where I bought it. They told me that Adobe wasn't keeping up with something something industry-wise. Sorry I'm in Japan and my Japanese isn't that good but basically they told me that I have to wait for Adobe elements 12 (which isn't out yet) before I can hope that my Vaoi recognizes the pen pressure. So they basically told me that Vaoi fit15A, using PS CC, isn't compatible. There's no way I can get pen pressure using that program.
    But is this true? Adobe is late that's why I can't get it to work in Vaoi Fit 15A ? They just didn't tell me this because they couldn't get it to work right? When is this "Adobe elements 12" suppose to come out anyway? If I can't get it to work I'll have to return the Vaoi itself since I need my pen pressure working in PS.
    Thanks for your time!!!

  • Wacom Tablet Pen Pressure stops working in Photoshop after using Lightroom Local Adjustment Brush

    Hi all,
    I am experiencing a problem with my Intuos Pro Medium (driver 6.3.9w3 on Windows 8.1)
    I am using Lighroom 5.6 and Photoshop CC 2014.
    I an get the pen pressure to work in Photoshop without any problem. However, if I go into Lightroom and use the Local Adjustment Brush and then transfer the photo into Photoshop (Right Click Edit In => Edit in Adobe Photoshop 2014 CC) then the pen pressure stops working in Photoshop.
    Really frustrating... The only workaround is to close both Photoshop and Lightroom, then reopen Photoshop, then usually the Pen pressure feature starts working again.
    Has anyone experienced this before or has any idea how to fix this?
    Thanks,
    Guillaume

    Your tablet driver isn't reporting pressure correctly.
    The knockoff tablet drivers usually need to be revised for each new version of Photoshop (and we have no idea why).
    Contact your tablet maker to see if they have updated drivers to fix their bugs.

  • 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.

  • Is there a way to change how Photoshop handles pen pressure per stroke?

    I'm a digital illustrator, and at current I have to switch between Corel Painter and Photoshop for my work flow, but for only one seemingly simple reason. Painter obviously has reproducing natural media at its heart, and as such some of the dry media functions (charcoal, pencil, pastel, etc.) work with an absolute pressure basis. No matter how many times you go over a swathe of pixels or pick up your pen, opacity/flow is determined solely by pressure.
    Photoshop on the other hand functions more like wet media, with the assumption that you're picking up more paint with every lift of the pen.
    Now here's the real kicker, I'm not a big fan of Painter. I'm more comfortable with Photoshop and I've found plenty of ways to get past texture and blending issues with the wonderful open ended brush tools and a couple fancy plugins, but I can't get around this. I learned art as a dry media artist, and as such my hand and brain don't compute a slight lift off the tablet with gathering more color.
    So to put it simply: Is there a way to adjust Photoshop's pen pressure from pen pressure = opacity x stroke to just pen pressure = total opacity?
    Because I would stop buying Painter if Photoshop had this option.
    Thanks in advance for any input!

    Don't know any 'automatic' way - but, i have "Fetch Headers only" set on each of my 'secondary accounts'.
    With varying internet service, manual "Get Messages" is probably the "Best Practice" because you will know how good your service is before you even try.
    maybe set "Check for new messages every 'n' minutes" to different times
    (3 minutes, 6 minutes, etc.) on each 'secondary' account.

  • Surface Pro 3 no pen pressure in CS6?

    I have just purchased a Surface Pro 3 and have downloaded Adobe Suite, particularly to use Photoshop CS6.
    However, I have no pen pressure in Photoshop CS6! It's incredibly frustrating!
    I can draw with the Surface Pen, but there is no pressure sensitivity - even when I switch sensitivity on. (I am experienced using Photoshop and understand how to use these functions).
    The Surface Pen seems to be working fine in all other applications.

    You say the pen is "working fine" in all other applications, but does this mean you're getting pressure sensitivity in other applications?
    I just got a SP3 a couple of months ago and as I recall, once you calibrate it and pair it the Surface Pen will function, but without pressure sensitivity. After doing some research I ended up downloading and installing the N-trig Wintab driver and I now have pressure sensitivity in a variety of art programs, e.g. Photoshop CC & CC 2014, ArtRage, Sketchbook Pro, Manga Studio 5, and Painter 2015.
    I understand that Microsoft has now released Surface Hub, an app that enables sensitivity adjustment and is available in the Microsoft store. My impression is that you would install this for newer apps and only if you have not already installed the Wintab driver. The Surface Hub seems to be getting mixed reviews.
    See this Microsoft page for further information and links: http://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/support/touch-mouse-and-search/troubleshoot-surface -pen#pressure

  • 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:

  • Problem With Cintiq Pen Pressure in CS5

    Hey folks,
    When using my Cintiq 12WX (using the latest drivers) on the CS5 I've found a strange quirk pops-up every now and then: sometimes it doesn't recognize/register the pen pressure and it goes from a thin line to solid flat line randomly. Like if one was using a mouse. I've searched the net to see whether this is an issue with the cintiq; the drivers for it; photoshop CS5 or any combination thereof and to see if there's a solution.
    Unfortunately, all I've been able to find is that the issue most likely resides with CS5 and that there isn't any real solution. Here's a link to the wacom forums of a fellow who's dealing with the very same problem: http://forum.wacom.eu/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5606
    I hope that by inquiring here, on the adobe forums, that perhaps a solution can still be found. Perhaps someone here has dealt with this and has found a fix? Of course, if there isn't any fix to be found I also hope that perhaps this can com  to th attention of those working on photoshop itself and that a fix can eventually be cooked up.
    Thanks!

    As far as we are aware, the problem is in the Wacom driver code.
    Please check with Wacom for updates.

  • 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

  • Pen Pressure not working in Photoshop CS5.1

    Hello,
    I've looked at a lot of questions and answers concerning pen pressure in this forum, and I've tried a lot of things to fix this problem. I have a Genius MousePen 6x8 and use Photoshop CS5.1. It's been a while since I used my tablet, but it used to work before. I rebooted my computer a while ago, so I installed the new driver from the Genius website. The tablet is working fine, even the pen pressure, but for some reason it just won't work in Photoshop. I've tried to fix it by resetting the Photoshop settings by using the Ctrl+Shift+Alt, I've reset the brush tool, I've played around with the brush options and nothing has worked.
    Here is the image of the pen pressure working:

  • Pen pressure not recognized in Photoshop CC 2014?

    Hello all. I recently bought a Monoprice tablet and pen pressure works across all other programs I've tried except Adobe products. I'm really mystified; I just want to be able to draw in Photoshop and make graphics more easily in Illustrator!
    It's especially frustrating because I absolutely KNOW that I have the correct drivers and installation, etc. The tablet works flawlessly in programs like Opencanvas.

  • Surface Pro pen pressure is not working in Photoshop

    I just bought Microsoft Photoshop.
    But Adobe Photoshop doesn't provide pen pressure sensitivity.
    I tested Microsoft OneNote, Fresh Paint, and Autodesk Sketchbook. They are working well.
    Please provide the pen pressure function in Photoshop too.

    On the Main photoshop forum, one of the Adobe staff is stating that the issue is with Microsoft and not Adobe. I can not see the code nor do I own a surface pro therefore I can not confirm nor deny it. In other words, I am a poor lonely user with the same access as every other user. LOL.
