Wacom Bamboo tablets with kernel26 = 2.6.36

1. Bamboo tablets do not work with mainline kernel code (yet).
2. There is a module provided by linuxwacom project.
3. It worked for me with 2.6.35. (in AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31540).
4. But it doesn't compile with 2.6.36, which is in [core] now.
Looking for help on the subject.

Wacom Bamboo Tablet with Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0 install on Newly bought Windows 8.1 laptop

So I bought a Wacom bamboo tablet a while back when I had windows 7, which it came with Adobe Photoshop 8 on a CD with product code. I upgraded and bought a new laptop with windows 8 and no CD drive. While I managed to re download the things needed to make my tablet work from their site, I realized I can't download Adobe elements 8 for my laptop because of two things:
1) I have no CD drive
2) Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0 seems to only be for windows 7 and under.
My question is Is there any way for me to get this back on my laptop or am I out of luck in that department? I'm not quite sure I can manage the money to purchase the newer Elements for windows 8. Is it hopeless for me to work with this program again?

You can try this version of pse 8 from the adobe site:
Download Photoshop Elements products | 9, 8, 7
As far i know know, pse 8 should work on windows 8.1

Premiere Elements 13, Wacom Bamboo tablet input not working on several screen elements

I installed both Photoshop Elements 13 as well as Premiere Elements 13.
Now I notice that in Photoshop Elements 13 (and ALL other programs on my pc) my tablet/pen input via a Wacom Bamboo tablet works perfect, but not in Premiere Elements 13.
Some screen elements in Premiere E.13 do not allow to be 'clicked' by the pen.
If I hover over it and then 'click' it with the button on my tablet or tapping the surface of my bamboo tablet, then it works fine. But whatever I try, I cannot get the thing working with the Pen-input of the Bamboo.
What does work are the 'normal' items in the top of the screen, like 'file' 'edit' etcetera.
What doesn't work is the second bar, with the buttons to 'add media' or switch from 'simple' to 'professional' screen layout. (or similar wording... I have my version in Dutch)
The interesting thing, in Photoshop Elements, that second bar switching from 'easy' to 'expert' modus is working fine with the pen.
Please do not suggest me to re-install my Wacom/Bamboo drivers, for I can assure you: Nothing wrong with thát :-)
If you have suggestions to get it working in Premiere Elements, then most welcome of course.
Honestly I think it is a little techncal flaw that needs fixing by Adobe in the first update, right?
Cheers,
Hans

Installation
Thanks for the additional information on your Premiere Elements 13 Mac situation.
I have an older Wacom pen and tablet (named Wacom Graphire 3) which works fine with Premiere Elements 12/12.1 Windows. I do not think that I tried it
with Premiere Elements 13 tryout when I had the tryout. I still do not have the purchased version 13. I did not have any problems
using the pen and tablet in the Premiere Elements 12/12.1 Editor. My hang up with the Wacom was that, although it installed great with the
latest drivers, within 24 hours of installation and successful use of the device, I would start getting reinstall driver messages.
I gave up on it
a. I could not make that transfer of use from mouse and pen/tablet...I was so used to using the mouse.
b. Got annoyed with the frequent reinstall driver messages.
I will keep watch for any further news on the subject Mac or Windows based.
ATR
Add On...When my Wacom Graphire 3 installs on Windows 7 64 bit, it calls itself Bamboo.

Can any of the Wacom Bamboo tablets be used the illustrator software?

I am looking to purchase a wacom bamboo tablet, but I want to make sure that when I sync it up I can use it with the illustrator software on my macbook pro?

No, the Creative Cloud products are desktop apps requiring Mac OSX or Windows 7 or 8 (XP is OK in some cases).
http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/tech-specs.html#requirements
Adobe offers Touch apps for the iOS operating system (which includes iPad) which are a separate purchase through the Apple App Store, not included in the Cloud membership.
Adobe originally intended to include them in the Cloud membership but they could not get past the Apple App Store restrictions (must purchase iOS apps from the App Store so that Apple gets its cut) - thus Touch apps are a separate purchase.
http://news.cnet.com/8301-1001_3-57434413-92/blame-the-app-stores-adobe-touch-apps-not-in- creative-cloud/
12 months ago, Touch apps included a range of different apps but that range was shrunk last year to just two: Adobe Photoshop Touch and Adobe Ideas.
http://www.adobe.com/products/touchapps.html
Once purchased, Adobe Photoshop Touch and Adobe Ideas do integrate with the Cloud for file transfer, share and storage so you can use them with a workflow which includes Cloud products.

Wacom Bamboo Tablets & Elements 9

I just bought the Wacom Bamboo Pen...... but it looks as though I can't use it with my Elements 9....... Is this right or do I need a bigger version of Bamboo?? Just wanted to use it for some of my photography as well as elements of windows 7..........
Thanks for any help!

Check the tablet control panel/settings to ensure you have Elements set up as a recognized application. It will also show if a driver update is available.
PSE should then show up in the Bamboo dock.

Hard drive sounds louder than expected when using a wacom bamboo tablet

i hace been trying to do some illustration work in photoshop CS5 using a wacom bamboo pen tablet
however as stated this seems to make the hardrive work louder then expected and i am worried that i could over heat and break my mac if i continue to work like this,
i dont even run any other programs well working (eg; safari or i-tunes)
i'm wondering if it is because my mac dosent have enough RAM to work both photoshop and the tablet at the same time and that if i add extra this would solve the problem
the tablet is powerd through a usb port

um i dont know how much ram it has ,but i havent added any yet so what it came with is the best answer i can give to that (sorry)
how loud would the fan sound as the noise i'm getting is a loud hum that starts up after a couple of
minuets of using my tablet and then goes away if i stop

Mail broken by wacom bamboo

Hi I've just installed the latest update 10.8.5. I was hoping it would fix this long standing problem with the mail app being broken by having the wacom Bamboo tablet connected.
The symptom is that the mail viewing window greys out and is pretty much unresponsive to mouse or pen. Has anyone else come across this and any fix or work around?
thanks

Hi ...
When you update your Mac software, you are presented with links that provide exactly what the update includes.
For v10.8.5 > About the OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.5 Update
Keep in mind, your Wacom tablet sofware is designed to be used with grahpics software, not the Mac Mail app.

Help! Blur tool issues with Adobe CC/Windows 8/Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet

Hi everyone, would really appreciate your help with something frustrating. I have been using Adobe CC quite happily since it was released, but after upgrading to a faster desktop that runs Windows 8, for some reason the Blur tool is playing up. I've upgraded drivers and cleared caches but it keeps happening sporadically. Sometimes it will work, sometimes it wont. My pc isn't the fastest in the world (ie not video editing speeds) but is perfectly competent to run Photoshop; I've run the program on slower machines and am used to the lag that happens there, so this is something different.
What happens; the blur tool is slow, and inaccurate to the extent of being unusable. When I attempt to blur out a section, for example a section of background, it will instead blur out a totally different section of the photo, for example, the face of the subject.
I use a Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet CTE 450; I have upgraded its drivers as well.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated; this is only a small thing but is slowly driving me mad! I don't use the blur tool constantly so it isn't preventing me from doing anything, but it is handy when it works and extremely irritating when it won't!
Thanks in advance!!

Also adding; the same error happens when I use a mouse, which seems to indicate it isn't the tablet's fault.

Possibilities in iWork 08 (Pages) with wacom bamboo design tablet?

Hi
Since yesterday i have wacom bamboo to draw and navigate by hand.
My Question: The title says everything...
... which functions offers me iWork in connection with a tablet (widhout Ink)?
I like to write on keyboard and after draw Sketches under the text.
Thanks for answers.

Just FYI regarding Scribbles:
Scribbles makes it really easy to get a quick sketch or signature into Pages. Just draw something in Scribbles, then hit Command+C, which will copy a bitmap of your drawing to the clipboard (CommandOptionC will copy a higher-resolution bitmap).
Then, just switch to Pages and Command+V (Paste).
You can even use the unregistered version of Scribbles for this, as the unregistered version only puts a watermark at the bottom of the image, and is super easy to crop out in Pages.

Need help for a problem with Wacom Bamboo Pen tablet and LR5

When using the advanced spor removal tool in LR5 using the pen of a Bamboo tablet it only goes in straight lines and reacts very sluggish!
When I use finger input on the same tablet (usingit then as a touchpad), the tool behaves normally and very responsive. If I go in any direction or try to paint an area it just follow and updates instanlty.
Is it an LR5 bug or problem with the pen tablet drives?!
I'm running a core i7 Thinkpad, 8 gigs of RAM.. Windows 8.1 Pro..

Use iPad as a 2nd monitor or graphics tablet with Photoshop/Wacom Bamboo Pen?

Can iPad be used as a 2nd monitor or graphics tablet with Photoshop/Wacom Bamboo Pen tablet?
I called Wacom as asked this question but the guy was clueless, and I'm sure they'd rather have you spend $1000 on their Cintiq instead of $29.95 on a Pen.... I figure I'll get more use out of an iPad and save around $400...
Or maybe this is jsut a far fetched idea...

Hiya
I am not quite sure of how this product works, but it might be wortha try:

My Pen Pressure Sensetivity is Suddenly Not Working With My Wacom Bamboo Creat Tablet

I"m having trouble with my tablet that I have had and used many times before. It's supposed to have 1,024 levels of sensitivity, but now, when I'm in my brushes panel, and I try to control the brush size by pen sensitivity, it comes up with the little orange error sign that says I don't have a pressure sensitive tablet. I have used it with this computer and with another that both have photoshop, but it's not working all of the sudden. I have tried googling it and updating to the latest driver for my tablet and downloading the latest photoshop update, but nothing is working. I have Windows 7 and the whole Creative Cloud on the Student One Year plan.

First check and see if Wacom has a driver update.
If their most recent driver does not solve the problem, then you need to call Wacom and work with them to see why the driver is not working on your system.
