Stopping brush from being really dark when holding it in place for a moment before moving?

I'm using my Microsoft Surface Pro 2 to do some sketching, and I have my brush set with pretty basic settings.
While using the pen with my tablet, sketching works just fine, except if I place the pen down, hold it in spot briefly (probably less than .2s), then move the pen, it draws as if Transfer was off. This is obviously extremely infuriating, having to miss out on so many strokes, and having to constantly undo, ruining work flow. The only thing necessary for this to happen is have Transfer enabled. This happens with everything other than Transfer disabled, and Transfer's settings on the default.
Can someone give me an idea on how this is happening, and how I can fix it?
Behaviour like this makes Photoshop completely useless to me.

The Surface Pro 2 is a tablet PC that runs a full version of Windows 8. I'm using the pen it comes with.
The settings for transfer are:
0% Opacity Jitter, Controlled by Pen Pressure
0% Flow Jitter, Control Off
My Opacity and Flow are both 100%.
All other settings for the brush are off.
What I want Transfer to do:
The harder I press, the more opaque the line.
What's actually happening:
If I touch down the pen for a short bit in the same spot before moving it, it's fully opaque, if I move immediately, it functions as I intend it to do.
Now that I think about it, the same thing happens with the Shape Dynamics. If I hold it breifly before moving, it makes it full sized, too. So basically, if I don't immediately start moving the pen upon touching (usually requires me to move before touching, which is very inaccurate, I lose all control.)
This behaviour is nonsensical and I simply can't paint with this happening.

  • How to stop files from being locked in Mountain Lion?

    In the last week, I have found several of the files that I have generated or downloaded have become locked.  Since Apple has eliminated the Auto locking feature that use to be in Time Machine.  The files include PDFs, PHGs, TXTs, etc.  How do I stop files from being locked?  How do I unlock the ones that are locked?  I can not emtpy my Trash. 

    When I went to "Get Info" on one of the locked files [a TXT file] per your steps, I noticed that the there was a Locked box checked.  I unchecked that box and was then able to remove the files from Trash without any further action. 
    Do you know why it got locked in the first place since Mountain Lion does not automatically lock files as the older OS X version did?  Do you know how to prevent it from happening again?
    I want to thank you for your suggestion.

  • Can I stop email from being sent?

    I have a number of email accounts configured in outlook 2010.
    I want to prevent email from being sent via one of the accounts.
    CAN I do this?
    If so How?
    I have tried to change the SMTP address to be invalid.
    It does not send, and does not give me an error.
    When I close outlook it tells me emails have not been sent. I have no idea where these emails r.
    When I restart it, it resets the smtp address and sends the email.

    thx for the reply
    The problem I am trying to work around is ppl using outlook try to send/reply/fwd emails using those old addresses. Outlook must be configured to rcv mail from clients using those addresses. So if the old email address is set as FROM I want to stop it from
    being sent.
    if i set the smtp address to an invalid the test never completes and I can never get to the end of that wizard.
    If I go back and look at it it is still the invalid address after I cancel the wizard.
    If i try to send mail it appears to do it after a long pause and i can't find the email anyplace -but it is not sent.
    If i shut down and restart outlook it is back to the valid address and the mail gets sent.
    I have it set only rcv, not send, that address in the group but that doesn't work.

  • How do I stop AE from changing my workspace when loading a project?

    How do I stop AE from changing my workspace when loading a project?  I've looked everywhere and can't find it.  I work on a lot of projects that a peer works on and his screen size is smaller and his workspace is different than mine.  Is there a setting I can change so that when I open one of his projects my AE window doesn't change?

    No. That behavior is intended. The problem is probably that your colleague uses the "Standard" workspace in a custom configuration and since it is matched by name, it emsses up your "Standard" workspace as well. Therefore advise your colleague to create his own workspace with a custom name and/or create your own custom workspace to be able to more quickly reset things.

  • Stopping HD from being accessed

    I've had to return my G5 iSight to the dealer for repairs. There is a lot of personal data on one of the partitions on the internal drive and to stop access to that partition, I set up an account for the dealer to use, and as well, I stopped it from being visible on the dealer's desktop by allowing only the Administrator (me) access to the disk.
    That worked well. But I thought I'd try to erase the partition from within the dealer's account by using Disk Utility. Sure enough, the partition appeared and Disk Utility seemed to allow me to erase it.
    How can I lock a partition so that it is password protected and nothing can be done to it from within a dealer's account?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions

    There's very little you can do to prevent access to that partition as a whole. You can't even rely on your login password, since that can be reset by anyone with a system disk. What I would advise is to keep all sensitive data in an encrypted file of some sort. Encrypted disk images work beautifully for this purpose. I have one that contains all my passwords, account numbers, financial information, etc. The password is long and is not remembered in any keychain.
    If the disk image option doesn't work for you, there are all kinds of commercial and non-commercial encryption options. Just search somewhere like MacUpdate or VersionTracker.

    You can use an extension to lock specific tabs.

  • How can I STOP Firefox from being a glutton with my virtual memory?

    How can I STOP Firefox from being a glutton with my virtual memory?

    Yes. But, I see from the THOUSANDS of responses here concerning Firefox memory issues that other people have had no more success than I have at trying to STOP Firefox's memory gluttony. The fact that Firefox runs fine (like the good old days) for a while after re-booting and registry cleaning shows that something is going on beyond the trivial/ineffective suggestions offered in the referenced links.
    Having to re-boot several times a day to get Firefox out of the molasses is such a pain, that it's no wonder people are going back to IE, or like me, reluctantly relying more and more on Google Chrome.

  • .DS_Store files on USB thumbdrives - a way to stop them from being created?

    Hello!
    Forgive me if this has been asked to death, but at school I need to copy homework files back and forth to the school's XP-based computers constantly. Because in any given day I usually update half a dozen files across the "homework" folder on my Powerbook, it's easier just to copy the entire folder (and its subfolders) to my 2-GB, FAT-32 formatted flash drive each night - all 500 files (and 150 MB). Of course, this also leaves hundreds of .DS_Store and ._filename files to clutter "Windows explorer" windows.
    My question is how do I remove (and prevent creation of) these files selectively? I know that they are used by the finder to store thumbnails, spotlight comments, and labels. The big problem is that while I want to remove these files from the homework folder (and some other folders), I DO NOT want to remove them from a few other folders on the flash drive - which I use to make quick backups of files from my Mac.
    I know that I can prevent OS X from creating them altogether with certain utilities, and I know that I can get third-party utilities that allow me to remove these files from flash drive and/or prevent the creation of the files for entire volumes, but is there something I can do to remove them from only certain folders?
    Also, since I do not always know beforehand what directories I might make, I'd like to be able to create a "white list" of only certain directories (and their sub-directories)that won't be touched, while all others will have their ".DS_Store" and "._filename" files removed.
    Finally, because I'm often a hurry when I go to copy files, I'd rather not sit there and run terminal commands or a program every time I copy a folder over to the flash drive. Is there some way to prevent them from being created in these certain folders altogether, automatically? An applescript or terminal command that I can program to run from the script menu perhaps? I don't mind opening a program or script, I just don't want to have to sit there manually removing the files.
    Thanks,
    -Dan

    I had a similar problem awhile back and asked for help in the Applescript forum:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=954738&tstart=0
    Unfortunately the revised jive software formatting function here in the forums has totally messed up things like posted scripts. What you'll see in the scripts discussed is no longer what was there originally. I just now put a copy of the script I'm using up in zip format here:
    http://homepage.mac.com/francines/.Public/CopyStrip2Fat.zip
    Unzip and open in Script Editor to get some idea of what it is really supposed to be. The idiot formatting of the revised jive software has replaced some things with a carriage return, a semi-colon, and close quote, thus rendering some lines meaningless.
    To see the source of the script I quoted, see this MacOSXHints thread:
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20040726164957299
    The script is in the comment by cougar718. You might take a look at other comments as well.

  • Stopping exceptions from being handled earlier

    Hi,
    I am writing a program that uses some code that I wrote and some code that others wrote. In one part of the code, an exception often comes up in the part of code that other people wrote. They handle that exception themselves by printing the stack trace. However, I do not want the stack trace to be printed out. The exception is already handled so if I put in a catch block it does nothing.
    Is there any way I can stop the exception from being caught or handled before? Or is there a way I can prevent the stack trace from being printed and call a different method if this exception was ever thrown or caught?
    Thanks, and tell me if part of what I wrote was unclear then tell me.

    Sky,
    Your problem description is perfectly clear. 10/10.
    But, Sorry.... It ain't good news.
    1. The short answer is "No".
    2. The longer and far more correct answer is "maybe", so long as the dodgy booger who wrote that code gave you the hooks which allow you to (a) supply an error handler; or (b) override the offending method by extending the class and reimplementing all it's constructors and that messy method, and you can change all the code which references that class to use your subclass... ie: Not bluddy likely.
    3. The correct answer is of course: "Yes, anything is possible, just some things cost more than others"... Decompilers, Custom byte-code modifying class-loaders, A wee ASM to filter the JVM's
    standard error stream... I can hear the boss now "What do you porkchops think you're playing at!".
    I get the feeling that the stackTrace is just an annoyance factor, and it really isn't worth the effort to solve this problem. My advice is to learn to live with it.
    Keith.

  • How do I stop texts from being seen on multiple devices on the same iTunes account

    I just updated my iphone 4s to ios 6 and now my texts are being viewed on another iphone connected to the same itunes account. How do I stop this from happening??

    Go into Settings -> Messages -> Send & Receive on the devices that your would not like to get your text messages to.
    Then remove the email addresses that you would not like to be reached on, especially the one that is the same as your Apple ID.
    Just leave the phone number there, and then the text messages should only appear on your iPhone 4s.
