Windows Touch Screen Stylus Pen use for Photoshop

I was have Windows touch screen and I want to use a styles pen. However, when I try to use the pen it will not draw, but just move the picture around. How can I fix this? Thank you

[Apologies for the multiple versions, but I also raised this issue in another part of the forum where there's an active Helix discussion, so there's another conversation happening in the thread "When is the Helix release date?", around page 59]
For those experiencing this problem, I'm becoming convinced that it's mostly going to occur in OneNote. Here is a "solution" I'm testing; it's not a proper fix but it works.
OneNote has the ability to automatically detect  whether or not you're using your finger to pan, your pen nib to write, or your pen eraser (if you have one) to erase. It's controlled by a setting under File-Options, Advanced. Look for the Pen settings. You'll see "Automatically switch between inking, selecting, typing and panning." It's checked by default. If you uncheck it, then your eraser won't work anymore, and you have to manually switch between inking, erasing and panning; to make this easy I dropped those icons into my quick access bar.
I think this is a Helix problem, not a OneNote problem. On my Dell Latitude 10 tablet, I do not have this problem. There's something about the Helix sensors and/or drivers that isn't working quite right, so it can't consistently figure out what's up with the pen, and it gets stuck.

    How to enable touch screen stylus in photoshop: Dell Inspiron 13: windows 8?

    You don't need to enable anything. For it to work you need a touch screen display and a pressure sensitive pen. Not a capacitive pen like those used on a iPad.
    A capacitive pen will work with the interface but not the brush tool.

  • Touch screen and pen/stylus stop working - Helix

    Note taking with my new Helix is unbelievably frustrating! It's Windows 8 Pro -- fully updated (Windows and Lenovo drivers and apps). I am using Microsoft OneNote 2013. The problem is regular locking up or freezing of one or the other of the touch screen or the pen / stylus. Sometimes the pen still works, but fingers on the touch screen have no effect. Other times the the touch screen works, but not the pen. I'm not 100% certain that it's limited just to OneNote, but that's where it's guaranteed to happen. I can "fix" the problem most of the time by putting the Helix into sleep mode and then waking. Other times I have to shut down and restart. During a two hour session this will happen a dozen times at least. This makes it nearly unusable. Rob

    Just got this Helix for a test-drive and I'm already having problems with the stylus/touch.  I can't quite tell why, but after working with computer as a tablet for a while, the touch turns off.  Then, if I pull the stylus out of the pocket 1/2 inch or so, the touch turns back on, then about 30 seconds later it goes off.  Then, if you pop the stylus back into the slot all the way, the touch screen is fine again for several minutes.  Over and over, i'm finding the interplay between touch and stylus to be a bit quirky.  Maybe it's the machine i got or maybe it's a general problem. I have had the exact problem with the touchscreen not working without fiddling with the pen in the socket (put it in, take it out, touch it etc). Do you have the task bar on the left hand side? I've had diffiuclties with the digitizer, can't use the bottom or right of the screen for example.  I'm wondering if still detects that the pen is near it. If I see the problem again I'll be trying the task bar on the right side.  If that doesn't help I have to assume a broken switch in the pen holder / bad digitzer.   Neither of which is good on a 2500 chf machine, especially one with what seems to be a warped tablet or base (still have to measure that).

  • Is it possible to build a project with Labview 2010 on a Windows XP system, that is useful for a system with windows 7 on it?

    Hi there,
    I am planning to use Labview 2010 in a short time.
    But before I'm going to use it I have some questions.
    I know it is possible to run Labview 2010 in an XP environment. But is it also possible to, when running Labview 2010 on a XP system, to build a project to a version that is useful in a Windows 7 environment?
    Or do I have to run Labview 2010, when I want to build a project that is useful on a Windows 7 system, on a system with Windows 7?
    Please give me some information.
    I hope to hear from one of you soon.
    Regards,
    Kenny

  • Feature to disable touch screen when pen is detected is no longer available in windows 7

    In N-trig drivers  with windows vista there was an option where one could select the option to disable the touch input when pen in near the screen.  That feature is no longer available when I installed new n-trig drivers in win7.
    I use my tablet a lot to take notes. But with dual mode on it detects input where I rest my palm on the screen to write. Every time I have to go and disable touch input completely before I start writing and enable after I finish. 
    I there any way to enable auto mode with Windows 7 n-trig drivers?
    This question was solved.

    Thanks for your reply.
    I talked about this with HP tech support and they don't know anything about it. I don't even know whether they are qualified enough to provide support. They were just blaming the problems on Microsoft and N-Trig. I knew the problem is with the drivers and I wanted them to let N-Trig know that people like us are waiting to the Auto feature. But instead of considering my complaint they hung up on me not once but twice.

  • Windows 7 Touch Screen and Video Drivers for HP Pavilion tx1219us

    Updated to windows 7 and can't find drivers for the Video Driver and Touch Screen.  Can anyone help me?

    Bummer...
    That is even an older GPU than the GMA 900.
    It is an Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller.
    OK... I have a possible driver you can use for that.  No guarantee it will work great but it should work...
    Here is the link to my OneDrive folder.
    https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=832F4957D2E51B93%21263
    Download and unzip the file labeled Intel 82865g Driver (Vista - Win7).
    You have to use the manual install method like you did with the other 2.
    Good luck!

  • Dell XPS Laptop Touch Screen Inputs Interpreted as Panning Photoshop CS6

    I have been working with Adobe Illustrator for a little while now and decided that I would like to try Photoshop for digital art.  I downloaded the 30 day trial version of Adobe Illustrator CS 6 about three days ago and noticed immediately that touching my laptop’s touch screen will only allow me to pan using the Hand Tool in Photoshop. I have never had this problem in Adobe Illustrator, as using the touch screen acts just as if I were clicking the left mouse button and dragging the cursor around the screen. I have a Dell XPS 15 - L502X laptop with an integrated touch screen (the entire 15” screen is Multi-touch sensitive).  It is running N-Trig DuoSense Digitizer with the latest drivers.  Is there some simple setting change that can be done within Photoshop CS6 to make it recognize a touch screen input as a normal left click and thus allow me to draw on it using the pen, pencil, or paintbrush tool?  I find it quite odd that I have no problems with this in Illustrator CS6.  Could it be that this tablet-like touch screen input is restricted on the trial version?  I am interested in buying Photoshop so I can use it whenever I’d like for longer than the 30 day trial allows, but I certainly don’t want to buy it if I cannot use my stylus on the touch screen to draw.  Any help is much appreciated!
    Here is a link to a youtube video that I put up showing the problem.  The first program shown in the video is Adobe Illustrator CS6 using the Paintbrush tool.  The second program shown is Adobe Photosop CS6 using the pencil tool.  I draw the line in Ps using the mouse pad and then attempt to draw (still using the pencil tool) on the touch screen yielding only scrolling with the hand tool.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd1NOBway4o

    I have this exact same problem, though I have a touchscreen monitor for my PC rather than a laptop. This is a bit awkward, but until I find a real solution, this works just fine: when you want to use the touch screen for CS6, hold down the mouse button. You may have to use the mouse to tap the tools you want, but at least there's a temporary solution.

  • How do I turn off the tiny Shuffle-sized iPod Nano (v6 with a touch screen) when not using its iOS?

    Hello and happy new year.
    I decided to use this used iPod Nano (touch screen) as an eight/8 GB flash disk/storage (FAT32). I can access the files just fine. I can always restore it back to use iOS quickly and easily if needed.
    However, it never seems to turn off/sleep. I tried holding down the big button on top right (next to the two volume controls [+ and -]), but it never does anything. Also, it says "OK to disconnect." when disconnected.
    So, I restored its iOS v1.2 from an old 15" MacBook Pro (2008; Mac OS X 10.5.8) onto it and can turn off easily. However, I cannot access its drive since it is not a MS FS and Windows XP Pro. SP3 asked me to format. How can I turn it off and still use it as an 8 GB USB flash disk/drive without installing and using iTunes?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hey,
    Holding in the play/pause and the menu (select) button will force the iPod into disk mode. This is the stand by mode you are talking about.
    To turn your iPod off properly you will want to hold down the play/pause button until the screen goes blank and then turn the hold switch on. This is cause the iPod to go to the Apple screen when it turns back on.
    Hope this helps,
    Ms D.

  • Hi - I have a new tool to create a tactile experience for touch screen users.  Great for early educational apps.  Any idea of how to get it exposure?

    Hi - I created new tool to create a tactile experience for touch screen users.  Created it for son with auditory processing problems and dyslexia.  Great for early educational apps. or just for fun.  Any idea of how to get it exposure?  Thanks for you help!

    Hire a marketer, perhaps? Put it up on Amazon? Only not here, that would be in direct violation of the term of use.

  • Can Edge Web Fonts be used for Photoshop website mockups?

    I'm keen to know if Edge Web Fonts can be used within Photoshop as an extension (to make the website mockup process smoother). I know Edge Web Fonts plays well with Muse and other Edge Tools, but I don't want to use Muse to build my sites - I just want to do my mockups in Photoshop. Can Edge Web Fonts work from within Photoshop, or will I be forced to switch to something like Extensis Suitcase Fusion for font management within Photoshop? Thanks in advance for your help!

    Problem solved - I've found everything I was looking for (and more) in Edge Reflow.

  • Lenovo - LI2341T 23" IPS LED HD Touch-Screen Monitor - what "touch screen" technology is used

    I have purchased the Lenovo - LI2341T 23" IPS LED HD Touch-Screen Monitor.  When I purchased it, the salesman told me that other "brands" of monitors were better due to dust build up along the edges of the monitor might block something causing the screen to jump and waver.  When I got home I compared the lenovo to the others brands and do not see any difference in the specifications.  So I investigated further and found various methods of touch screen sensing.  Can a lenovo staff member tell me which is used in this monitor.  From what I gather there is Resistive film,  Capacitive, SAW, Infrared optical imaging, and Electromagnetic induction.  Which one?

  • What is the best touch screen display to use with a Mac mini?

    Hello, forgive me I am not an expert when it comes to technology. I am thinking of changing my work computer system to a Mac mini at the moment as we have limited space and love the design of the Mac mini. We currently have an outdated dell computer linked to an ELO touch screen as part of our till system. I was just wondering if there were any recommended touch screen monitors that work well (not to much driver hassle) with the mini and are thin and easy on the eye.
    Any advice would be gratefully received.
    Many Thanks

  • What is the best stylus to use for drawing on my ipad?

    For drawing apps, what is the best stylus for my ipad?  What does qualities does one need in a stylus?

    There are many stylii for iPad.
    The main requirement is that it be a capacitive type of stylus. Meaning that the stylus' has to be able to conduct the electrical impulses from your fingers to the tip of the pen so that the pen functions just like if you're touching it with your finger.
    Stylii made for iPhone/iPod Touch or iPad will usually be indicated.
    You really need to do a search on the web for them, and, if possible, find a retailer that is close to your location to see one, in person, to see if it might fit your needs.
    Here are few links to get you started
    http://myipadgames.com/best-ipad-stylus/
    http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/iphoneandipodtouchapps/ss/Best-Stylus.htm
    The last link has links for other stylii at the bottom of page that you can tap or click on.
    Personally, I have two that I use and like. I use a Pogo Sketch stylus, and just recently switched to using a Wacom Bamboo stylus that I find is really good for drawing. I has a smaller rubber tip on the end than most other stylii.
    You have to find one you think might work for you based upon size, length/diameter, and size of the pen tip.
    And if you can get to see some of these in person, the stylus' weight. I find, for me, the lighter a stylus is the better.
    Good luck and Happy Hunting!
