Stroke thumbnail view in brush presets panel in CS5 doesn't represent pressure sensitivity

Greeting.
Have just installed the CS5 package. Unlike it was in PS CS2, that I loved very much, I can't see whether the brushes are pressure sensitive or not in the brush presets panel of the new PS CS5 version. See the image please.
Any option that I overlooked?
It's a PS CS5 64 Bit version at XP64. NVidia drivers are fresh. Enough memory and processing power.
Thank you for your responses.

Thanks Noel. That thread was a big help. I used the last person's suggestion and so far it has corrected the problem:
"We are running the latest driver (6.1.6-7) and can confirm the fix you are mentioning - rolling back to the earlier driver (6.1.5-3) fixes the issue. However, along the way we also found a more interesting solution - loading a set of preferences from an older driver seems to also resolve the issue!
We used the Wacom file utility to clear our preferences on a machine running the older driver (6.1.5-3), then saved out our default set of preferences.
On another station, after confirming an account had the issue on the latest driver (6.1.6-7), we proceeded to load the preferences we'd saved out of the older driver. Presto! The problem vanished. We can replicate this by bringing back the issue if we go back to the default prefs in 6.1.6-7.
Thought i'd share in case this is helpful for any of you.
For us, it's a much easier fix than having to redo wacom drivers (and perhaps have other issues!) across multiple academic comptuer laboratories mid-semester.

Stroke thumbnail view in brush presets panel in CS6 doesn't represent pressure sensitivity

Everytime I open photoshop the stroke thumbnail shows up with lost settings. I can hover my pen over brush presets and press ctrl+F1 and it will change back but when i open up photoshop cs6 it does not show what the brush setting are with the stroke thumnail and I have to do it again. I know how to correct it temporarily but I would like a permanent fix for this as it is quite annoying. I have tried to open it with just my pen from my tablet and it does not help. I am running windows 7. cintiq tablet.

Hey JJMack!
Thank you for your response! Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be my issue. I actually think I may be running into a bug with PS6. It seems like the stroke thumbnail preview might not be receiving the information that there is pressure sensitivity turn on my cintiq.
Here is an example below..
As you can see here the brush I have selected obviously has pressure sensitivity and PS6 is recognizing that. But for some reason that information is not being communicated to the stroke thumbnail preview.
What's even weirder is when you go into that brush's presets the preview below shows the stroke thumbnail fine!
I am wondering if maybe I have some weird preference turned on hidden away somewhere... or if this is an actual bug with the program.
thanks guys!

Have a problem with a brush preset picker in CS5

Have a problem with a brush preset picker. By right click over your document (if you using brush or cloning tool) it’s open, so you choose a brush and size. But in new version, if your option bar is in different monitor (I am using two monitors one has my working area – document, other one tools), its open only in that monitor, where is a option bar. Supposed to open over your working area like it was in CS4. Seems to me, it’s not recognizing second monitor.

My graphic setting is OK, my CS4 is working fine. I thing it's a bug in new version.
Yes I have extended desktop mode.

Thumbnail view of PS brushes: Improvements in CS4?

While I no way intend to upgrade from PSCS2, especially in view of all the problems mentioned here with drivers, video cards, etc., I was nonetheless curious to know if the thumbnail view of brushes had been improved. I depend on a streamlined workflow, and I constantly find that PS thwarts me in that respect....

OK, sounds like you found the File Type Association.
As for the display, for some years, the old psicon.dll has been gone from Windows. For a few versions, one could just add it to Windows, but I do not believe that has worked since Vista. Instead, use Bridge, and not Windows Explorer.
As this has been an issue for years, it could well be that MS, or Adobe, will rewrite the psicon.dll to work with Win7, or that someone else will take up the challenge of doing so. Could already be out there, and I have just not heard of it.
Good luck,

Brush Panel vs. Presets Panel

From the Brush Presets Panel, I choose Basic Brushes from the drop down menu. Then Replace. The new choice of brushes appear in the Brush Panel and in the Brush Presets Panel.
But in the Brush Panel, additional brushes appear.
There are always more brushes in the Brush Panel than the Brush Presets Panel whenever I Replace. The Brushes Preset Manager is poplulated with identical brushes as the Brush Presets Panel.
What determines the additional brushes that appear in the Brush Panel?
Thanks,

Thanks, Chris. I am a little embarrassed. I have looked all over to try to figure this one out.
I know what a brush preset is (like a Swatch), and how to change a brush tip. But I cannot get my head around the relationship of the two Panels, to answer your question. Nor, why there are more in the Brush Panel. The Brush Panel contains those chosen via the Brush Preset Panel + additional brushes. The additional brushes seem to be the same for whatever brushes are Replaced via the Brush Preset Panel.
Maybe if you could you please define what brushes appear in the Brush Panel.
Then define what brushes appear in the Brush Presets Panel.
From there I should be able to understand why there are more brushes in the Brush Panel.
Thanks very much,
Sonny

I can't adjust my Brush Presets in Photoshop CC when using a Wacom Intuos 2 Tablet.

Hi.... I hope someone out there can help me with this. I'm using Photoshop CC with an Wacom Intros 2 Tablet. I want my Brush Tool preset to be "Soft Round" so I can create smooth consistently shaped lines when clicking & dragging along the straight edge of a selection.
When I attempt to do this in the Brush Presets Panel it seems to be locked on "Shape Dynamics" with Pen Pressure control. Whenever I switch both of these off & try to create a different brush preset it will automatically jump back in to the same settings, even after locking the Brush Preset & creating a new Brush. What I end up with when clicking & dragging is a fine point at one end of the line & a soft round brush effect at the other end. Very frustrating! I don't have this problem when using a Mouse, and a friend who is using Photoshop CS5 with an Intros 2 tablet is not having this issue either. Is this just another one of the few glitches I've noticed with Photoshop CC? Or am I overlooking something?
Thanks in advance.

[Photoshop CS6] Windows 7 - How to add "Brush Angle" circle to Brush Preset

How do I add this:
To here:
Thanks.

Reset your Brushes so you just have the default set loaded.
Set up a new brush using the Brush Presets panel. (Probably set Angle Jitter to 'Pen Tilt' but we don't know exactly what you are trying to achieve.)
Open the brushes panel, and click on the little cog icon, and then on New Brush preset. Give your new brush a meaningful name.
Last thing to do is 'Save brushes' in the same menu, and you new preset will always load with the default brush set. Or save it with a custom brush set. Whatever works best for you.

Thumbnail view as the default setting.

Two related questions.
1) How do I make Thumbnail view in the project panel the default setting for all/new projects? I've set my workspace and keyboard arrangement as my custom layouts, but when I make a new project, it always defaults to list view.
2) In a project I'm already using, when I load it up, it's loading up in list view where as in all old Premiere versions, it would load up as whatever the previous setting was. Am I doing something without realizing it that's making it default back to list view?
Thanks.

It doesn't sound like you're doing anything wrong. And as far as I know, nothing's been changed in this regard in terms of expected behavior. So my first guess is that your preferences aren't getting saved properly. The first test I'd try is to launch PPro, change a pref that's easy to test like Show Tooltips, save/close/relaunch, and check whether tooltips are displayed--or simply go back into Preferences and see if the setting stuck.
If that change to the prefs didn't take, then the next step is to clear the prefs by holding down the Alt key while you launch Pr. Keep holding it down until you see the Welcome Screen pops up.

Brush presets / tool presets - confusion

I'm by no means a beginner (I think this I'm in my 15th year using Photoshop..), but something that's always bugged me is the difference between brush presets and tool presets. It's never been much of an issue in the past, but I'm spending an increasing amount of my workflow drawing digitally using various brushes, and I'm finding these two different ways to save and import brushes quite confusing. If I've altered a brush, and want to save it, what are the advantages / disatvantages of saving it as a tool preset, or as a brush?
I have my favourite pencils saved as tool presets, which works fine, but I don't see what the brush presets do that is different from this. Is there a 'right way' to organise / save brushes? What's actually the difference between the 2 things? Are they totally interchangeable?

So going by what you said, that means the Tool Presets store tool specific settings (flow, opacity etc), as well as the brushes themselves. Is that correct?
Brush Presets (see Brush Preset Panel, not just the Brush Panel) can be used by all painting Tools. Tool Presets refer to a specific Tool but can indeed hold a Brush tip that has been removed from the Brush Presets.

A question about brush presets.

can you set personal brush presets for individual brushes? for example can i set one brush with shape dynamics, texture, smoothing, and have a different brush with different settings. it seems that whenever i try to create a custom brush and alter these settings it does so to all my brushes. i'm kinda new to brush creation, i rarely try to alter the settings or try to reate a brush.

I suspect you may not fully appreciate the matter yet.
Assuming you work with CS5 it sounds like you set your Dynamics etc. and then change the Brush Tip instead of saving that Preset and, if you want to do so, switch to another Preset in the Brush Presets Panel.

Brush preset, color problem

Hi,
I can't save anymore color when i create a new brush.
I had no problem in CS5 but in CS6, it's a pain.
When i created a new brush preset in CS5, i had the "save color" option in the windows.
Now, in CS6, the only thing i have is "save brushe size" option.
So, what can i do ?

Perhaps I'm not understanding what you're saying you were able to do, but I don't see any difference between the saving of Brush Presets in Photoshop CS5 vs. CS6...
Are you sure you're not remembering another application?
Is it possible you had installed some plug-in or augment in Photoshop CS5 that provided more functionality?

Not possible. This is a file-specific setting, not an application-wide

Scroll bar stuck on Thumbnail view

Whenever I am using the scroll bar to scroll in the thumbnail
view ,which is set to large, the scroll bar gets stuck. When I
place my mouse on the bar and move it up and down it does not stop
and jumps to different places in the thumbnail view - I can't seem
to control it. I have tried turning on the libary and clicking
around in it, but this does not fix the problem. The only solution
I have found is to shut Captivate 2 down and start it again. Any
suggestions?

Hello queenlooners,
I spoke with some of my colleagues and unfortunately there does not seem to be a way to disable the scroll bar. There have been other discussions on the forums such as overlaying the scroll bar or embedding it in a sub-panel.

Hi all,
I am doing a desktop app . In my app i am using JTabbedPane . In order to view the contents of all tabs in one shot,i need to bring the JPanel in each tab into a single frame,that contains a scrollbar.i.e,something like a thumbnail view of all the tabs.Is it possible to do so? Since i have several components like button, textbox,images,etc in each tab,and have set the layout property of the panel to null,i cannot reduce the size of the panel to thumbnail size.I have set layout property of jpanel in each tab to null,because i have enabled dragging of objects like buttons,textarea,images,etc.Can anyone help me to sort out this problem.
