Wacom Tablet Issues with LR 5.6

Ever since I upgrade to LR 5.6, I'm having problems with my wacom tablet (intuos 5 wireless small). When I use the TAT, as I move up and down the slider moves a couple of numbers and them stops. If I use my blue tooth mouse, it works just fine. Also, if I go up to the Histogram and click and drag, nothing at all happens using the tablet, but works just fine with blue tooth mouse. There are a lot of other issues with rendering and unstable pen action. I have no issues with the tablet in Photoshop CC - 2014 ACR or any other programs. It's definitely tied to LR 5.6.
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated. Oh, I have uninstalled and re-installed and have the same problem.
Dennis

I downloaded the driver at Wacom Europe GmbH - Support - Treiber ran it without the tablet being connected, than plugged in the Intous again. Immediately a new USB-recognition/installation process started (but all customizations were preserved).
That was all. I am not a nerd, just a normal user, so nothing special to report. It just worked out fine.

Wacom tablet problems with CS3

I've had Flash 8 which was fine with my Wacom tablet.
However, now that I've downloaded Flash CS3 it's caused problems
with my Wacom tablet even if I return to Flash 8. For example, if I
double click on a symbol, a broken rectangular object appears and
enlarges. I'm eventually taken to edit the symbol, how it's become
most time consuming. Is there a patch or a solution?
Sincerely,
Dale

how is this related to a wacom tablet?
can you provide a screenshot of this "broken rectangular
object"?

Issue with Healing Brush and Wacom Tablet

I use a Wacom Intuos 4 for retouching. Photoshop CC 2014 gets stuck when I use the healing brush. I hold the Alt-key down and take a sample with the healing brush, and when I go to paint and the cross-hair gets stuck inside of the circle and the tool stops responding. After I remove the pen from the tablet I get the round spinning little balls as Photoshop is thinking and then everything works again. It's very annoying when retouching skin. It doesn't do it every time I use the tool just at random. Anyone else having this issue? I've tried many different driver versions for the Wacom and it does it no matter what version. I've also reset the tool. I've done everything but reformat the hard drive. I'm using windows 7 64bit.

I got a response from Wacom Support about this issue.
Actually this is a known issue with Photoshop CC 2014. This is a third party application. You have the current driver for windows 7 and the tablet works fine. Wacom ensures that your tablet works perfectly for any issues except third party application support. I would recommend that you tried contacting Adobe regarding this.

Great. All I got from contacting both Adobe and Wacom support was finger pointing and acknowledgement of a problem. At this point any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

With Parental Controls on, Wacom Tablet pressure sensativity will not work.

I run several high-end Mac Art and Photo-based labs and have run into an issue with Leopard's Parental Controls and Wacom Tablets - when I choose to limit the programs that my users (students) can use, Wacom Tablets will lose functionality under those logins - and it seems only to be pressure-sensitive functions. I've tried several combinations of allowing all programs except utilities, with utilities, etc - no dice - I actually have to turn off "limit programs" and that is the only point that it'll actually let me use all the Wacom's functionality under those managed users - is there a way to fix this?

..."I've allowed all Utilities, Applications, etc and no matter what, as soon as I turn on the "only allowed selected programs" option, it won't work."...
I'm not sure, but it is possible that allowing / disallowing based on the pre-defined categories may not work because the software that Wacom uses on my system is in an atypical location, and has an atypical structure - it actually has one application contained inside another. It may be necessary to approve the apps explicitly.
Perhaps try either:
i) Opening "/Library" > "Application Support" > "Tablet" and explicitly dragging any apps present there into the "Parental Controls" pref pane in the panel where the programmes are listed. On my system, the app is called "PenTabletDriver.app"...
or
ii) Logging in to the managed account (with application restrictions in place), and trying to launch the "PenTabletDriver.app" programme. If this generates the "application is not allowed" message, it should be possible to "always allow" with "admin" authentication to white-list it at that stage...

Photoshop CC 2014 incompatible with Wacom tablets?

Hey everyone, so I'm having a lot of issues with my Wacom tablets and PS CC 2014. So, I have two tablets hooked up to my computer (and before you ask, no, the issues don't stem from two tablets being connected to the computer. I already tested that.) A Cintiq 21UX and an Intuos 5. Both work very well and as you would expect in Photoshop CC, however in CC 2014 they have loads of problems. On the Cintiq, while I get great, fluid lines with the brush tool I can't change my eraser's size on the fly by rotating my pen like usual. It's very annoying and absolutely destroys workflow. Now, the eraser works, but the size can't be changed by flipping the pen from the brush tool like it normally would be able to. That's just the issue with the Cintiq though, on the Intuos 5 there's no pen pressure whatsoever! It just thinks the pen is a mouse, on both sides of it. I'm certain this isn't a driver issue, as the tablets have their drivers up-to-date and work perfectly with both Photoshop CC (standard) and Corel Painter X3.
Does anyone know how I could fix these issues?

I'm on Windows 8.1 with an Intuos4 tablet. I updated to photoshop CC 2014 and after updating the tablet driver so I had the use Windows Ink checkbox I got the pressure sensitivity back but the lines are horrible and jagged so I'm trying to revert to the old implementation following your instructions and created the txt file named PSUserConfig.txt with the lines
# Use WinTab
UseSystemStylus 0
That worked to get pressure sensitivity to work whether or not the Windows ink box was checked but didn't fix the jagged lines.
I'm not sure I understand the second part of your instructions about turning off gestalt's functionality (Not even sure what that is) Is there supposed to be a PSUSerConfig.txt file because there wasn't one until I just saved the one I made. Is any of this even going to fix the jagged lines or is that a whole different issue?
Everything works just fine in Photoshop CC 64bit

Issues With Tablet Sensitivity

I just recently purchased my touchscreen notebook and installed a digital art program (Krita) with no problem. I plugged in a wacom tablet that I've had for years and it seemed to have installed fine, it made a beeping noise to indicate it had been plugged in and I can move around the mouse fine. But the computer doesn't recognize sensitivity at all. I tried taking it back out of the usb and plugging it back in but that also didn't work. My wacom tablet is an intuos4. Is this an issue on my end? Or is the older tablet not compatible with my new notebook? If it's somethig to do with instalation of the tablet or the new computer, is there something I can do to fix it?

Hi all, I have the following question - bought iphone 5c used a couple of days ago and have 2 issues so far - I have problems charging it - the battery would drain to 0% and will plug it in but will not charge, instead after a while the phone would turn on and stay 1% forever. Tried another charger and it charges but when it is off and charging it does not show the percentage bar on the screen. Secondly - when I turn it on, seems like there is weird light from the top and the screen seems to be no very responsive, when the phone is on.
Return the phone and get your money back, Then purchase one from an authorized Apple dealer.

Why does my Wacom tablet only make straight lines with the pencil & brush tool even WITHOUT shift?

I have Photoshop CS3 on Mac OSX 10.5.8 on a white MacBook and I'm using a Wacom CTE-630, and I always had the correct drivers.
Yesterday I discovered that the brush and pencil tools were incapable of doing anything but a dot or a straight line while I used my Wacom tablet. Using those tools with the touchpad works perfectly! Curves and squiggles abound! But for some reason I can't do it with my tablet.
And I yes I tried downloading the latest drivers from the Wacom website... to no avail.
After looking through forums I discovered that it was a problem experienced by users of tablets of other brands, I couldn't find any mention of Wacom tablets having this issue. And then I saw a thread somewhere that mentioned holding shift created straight lines! So I immediately thought that perhaps photoshop was functioning in reverse or maybe my shift button was broken...
So I pressed shift, and something different happened, if I made a dot on the page a line would automatically appear, connecting that dot to the previous dot I had made. Which is in contrast to the issue I had been having which goes something like this:
If I try to make any curved lines, a dot will appear where I first made contact on the page and then when I release the pen from the tablet a straight line will go from there to the dot at the start of the line. In other words, a dot appears when I start a line and no matter what I do with the line after that, a straight line goes from where I ended the line to where I started it!! ARGHHHH!!
And it turns out It's not a Wacom problem, or it doesn't seem to be, because it works fine with the brush tool in Illustrator CS3.
So I came to the conclusion it was Photoshop that was at fault. I found nothing on these forums related to my issue.
I hope someone can help. Because I was really itching to start digitally painting again. =(
Thanks in advance!!

Yes I did solve the problem!
Thanks to everyone that suggested things, but none of them worked. In the end it was Wacom, yes... WACOM that solved the problem. Even though it was an Adobe Photoshop issue as far as I could tell. So thank you Wacom, you helped me when I needed it most.
So now to the vital solution:
"Thank you for your recent enquiry regarding pen tool in Adobe Photoshop CS3.
Please try the step below for reset CS3
For MAC, please hold pressing command + alt+ shift, then open Photoshop.
Get the CS3 update. Start CS3 while holding.
If the problem remains, uninstall and reinstall Adobe Photoshop CS3 again."
Worked the first time for me. So spread the word! This issue shall trouble people no more, a solution has been found!

Scrolling through pictures with Wacom tablet in Aperture

HI Guys,
Is anyone a bit of a whizz on Aperture. I'm using Aperture 3 with a Wacom tablet on a Mac Pro.
I'm set the touch wheel to scroll as I want to use it to cycle through photos. It works in the Browser View (all pics on the screen), but does nothing when I try to scroll in Split View. I have to use 2 fingers on the Magic Trackpad to get it to scroll along.
Has anyone had this issue, or does anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks,
P x

You're welcome. Here's some more. Should give you some ideas .
... and so on. The radial menu is fast once you get used to it. And, imho, quite clever: I'd _much_ rather have context-sensitive radial menus than the silly stacked text menu we have now.
I highly recommend watching (and taking notes) from all 14 of the videos done by Rebekka Strauß. [Edit: number of videos corrected.]

Wacom or Bluetooth Mouse issues with most recent Beta??

Wacom or Bluetooth Mouse issues with most recent Beta??
All I was wondering if anyone was having issues with Lightrooms beta and pointing devices… while I’m sure the Wacom Introus4 is dying in Lightroom I can’t verify that my Mouse is as well.
I’m using the most recent Beta of Lightroom and Wacom Tablet Driver 615-3a… I’m sure the issue dosent reside with another program because the tablet only stops working in Lightroom. Basically I loose all tablet functionality until I reboot whin I attempt to access the Film Strip… I’ve repeated a few times and with each it dies…

Unfortunately, although you are getting problems with your Wacom and Lr, the solution for the short term is to re-install an older driver for the tablet until Wacom come up with a new update to fix the prolem. This has been a long running problem for users when operating Lr with Wacom tablets.
(I offer this solution not from personal experience, but from what other tablet users have reported in previous threads, and there have been several).

Wacom, issue with mapping area

Hello,
I have:
Wacon Intuos Pen & Touch, CTH-480/S.
Wacom driver 6.3.10w2.
Adobe Photoshop CC 2014.2.1.
MacBook Pro (late 2013)
Mac OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite
I don't have any external monitors
Most of the times I restart my computer I have to revise the mapping area. Fot "All Others" and for "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014.app".
I want to use it as:
Mode: Pen
Screen Area: Full
Tablet Area: Portion... (0,0, 4750,7600)
But after each reset, the tablet works as if I had it set to :
Mode: Pen
Screen Area: Portion... (the upper left portion)
Tablet Area: Portion... (0,0, 4750,7600)
Notice the screen area set to "Monitor 1" and still the issue:
Notice the screen area is set to "Full" an still the issue.
I'm using my tablet with the original provided USB cable. I also tried using another USB port on my computer. I don't have any other device connected to my computer. I have also my Magic Mouse (Apple Bluetooth mouse) turned off. Also I'm using the original provided power source and I also tried using the computer unplugged.
I had this issue with several older drivers as well.
This issue started with Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite. I also tried to fix it, doing a clean install of Yosemite.
I had tried the "REMOVE" and "RE INSTALL" driver using the "Wacom Tablet Utility".
I will appreciate your help.
Kind regards,
Juan Pedro

Peter,
Thank you for your reply.
Your steps does not solve the problem. I had tried those steps several times, but without luck.
The issue is (I think) because I use a more dense ppi and the driver gets the boot up ppi resolution. I use my screen at "More Space" but when the computer turns on... it on "Best (Retina)".
So my idea is the driver gets the "Best (Retina)" ppi and when my sessions starts and the computer changes to "More Space"... the Wacom driver already got the other resolution and there is the problem.

Miranda,
The drivers at the UK site and the US site are in the same family.
The difference is the UK are a bit older than the US.
For me, the new 6.3.11w3 driver is working a bit better.
Not perfect, but better.

How to work around issues with tablet PC input service

On some systems the Tablet PC Input Service is running and it interferes with JavaScript based UI frameworks (jQuery, Kendo). Is there any solution to fixing this issue through code? The alternative would be to tell every user to check for this service to be running and turn it off....which also turns off support for Wacom tablets, smartboards and a bunch of other stuff.
Works fine in IE, but also fails in Chrome, so it is not only Firefox. And it is not only one app, there are reports of different browser based apps failing.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Yes, this also happens on the old version. It is tied most likely to the Tablet PC Input Service. I tried it also with a touch interface and there some stuff works now, but others does not. When using FF with a touch interface I wonder how well that works out.
I saw the other post before, but there was no solution given either. The only workaround so far that I found is to stop that Windows service, but then some hardware such as the graphics tablets won't work any longer.
One more reason why touch UIs are currently total flops....but that is a different discussion.

How do I connect a Thunderbolt display to a 21UX Cintiq Wacom tablet with a single link DVD-I connector?

I just bought a brand new thunderbolt display along with a 2013 mac pro and I'd like to hook my 2 year old 21UX Cintiq Wacom tablet directly to the display using the thunderbolt port on the display itself. Currently, I have the Cintiq daisychain connected directly to the mac pro using an Apple mini display port -> DVI-D (dual link) adapter, which is then connected to a DVI-D (single link) -> DVI-I (dual link) adapter, which is then finally connected to the Cintiq's DVI-I (single link) connector (this is permanently attached to the Cintiq and can't be traded out). As you can imagine, what has resulted is a lot of color variations between the Cintiq and Thunderbolt displays (that color calibration in system preferences has not been able to remedy) as well as some flickering of both displays at random intervals. I'd like the colors of the displays to match as close as possible and for the flickering to stop, of course, and from what I understand, connecting the displays directly with as few adapters as possible is the best way to do that. Unfortunately, most of my searches have not helped very much. Here is a photo of my daisychained set-up to better assist anyone who thinks they might be able to help:
Lastly, just in case: the mini display port to DVI adapter is not compatible with the Thunderbolt display's port, which is why it is connected to the mac pro, so I imagine a solution might require searching for an adapter from a different manufacturer, if such a thing even exists. If not, what other solutions would anyone suggest to get the colors of the displays to match more closely and the flickering to stop as well as lessen the amount of adapters I am using?
Thank you!

From you picture, you have a Mini DisplayPort to Single-Link DVI-D adapter. (The last in DVI-D is for "Digital", not "Dual-Link".)
You don't need dual link unless the resolution is greater than 1920 x 1200.
Mini DisplayPort devices or adapters won't work plugged directly into a Thunderbolt display. You need a Thunderbolt disk or dock (with two Thunderbolt ports) connected between the Thunderbolt display and the Mini DisplayPort adapter.

Issue with Wacom Intuos3 in Photoshop CS5

New PC windows 7 home premium,/64 bit...old one was XP/CS2.
Using a Wacom Intuos3. With my old PC/PS, when I tapped the R touch strip, the window in PS would zoom in 'even' increments - 25, 33, 50, etc. New PC/CS5 increments are odd #s. I worked w/Wacom help,but they had no fix.
Said it was an Adobe issue. Can anyone help with this?

Photoshop CS4 brush lag with wacom tablet

I've upgraded to photoshop CS4 extended recently and all my brushes that worked fine under CS3 are now with a real lag.
I've installed the latest version of photoshop ( Adobe Photoshop CS4 11.0.1 update ) and the latest update for my wacom tablet, but the lag remains.
My computer is a new "24 imac:
- 2,66 GHz intel Core 2 duo processor
- 4 GB memory
- NVIDIA GeForce 9400
I use my tablet and photoshop a lot, but with this lag it's terrible to draw..
Is there someone who can help me with this or has the same problems ?
thanks in advance

Glad I could be of service.
Speaking of services, if you are running Vista or Windows 7 (not XP) you should turn off tablet services too. They automatically start if you install a Wacom driver on these Os'es, and they can also cause hiccups and lag in Photoshop CS4.
You have to be logged in with admin privleges.
Go to Control Panel->System and Security->Administrative Tools->Services
Open 'Tablet PC Input Service'
Stop the service and select 'Disabled' as the startup type.
You'll know you got it because the annoying 'ripple' effect will go away when you touch the pen to the tablet, and the pop-up keyboard will go away. Of course, if you actually are running on a tablet PC then don't do this.

After installing Yosemite, I got this message 'this version of Pen Tablet Preference is not compatible with this version of OS X i.e. my Wacom Tablet software. Do I have to a new Wacom Tablet or is there a way to update my existing software for it?

After installing Yosemite, I got this message 'this version of Pen Tablet Preference is not compatible with this version of OS X ie my Wacom Tablet Software. Can it be made compatible without buying a new Wacom Tablet?

Ive just downloaded a Driver update from Wacom for my Tablet so hopefully this has resolved this problem.
