Sijun Forums :: View topic - I'm having an annoying problem with my tablet.

I don't know why this is happening, but when I'm painting in Photoshop with the opacity on, if I lightly go over the tablet with the pen, the brush shows up at full pressure. And if I press down harder than that light point, it uses the opacity and shows up where it should be, at a lighter pressure. But it is really bugging me and I don't know what to do about it. It's causing me to have to undo my history almost every other brushstroke.
I tried raising the pressure levels for it in Photoshop, and all other applications, but nothing seems to be working.
Does anyone else have this problem with their Wacom tablets? Sad

I have a similar problem....every once in a while, the pen will seem to go to 100% pressure. I think I usually exit photoshop when it happens, but fortunately it's not very often. Is your problem consistent/permanent now? If so, that really sucks. :/

That happed to me as well on occasion... suddenly a 100% stroke would appear. Very annoying. However, it has stopped. Not sure why, but it's either because I upgraded to Photoshop 7.1 or started using XP Pro... Don't know which was the cure...

I'm using XP Pro also, so it was likely the upgrade to PS7.x I'm still using PS 6 here. :/

I'm using XP Pro as well.

I guess I'll have to wait until I can get Photoshop 7 then. :\
At least I still have my Painter Classic. ^^ *Hugs Painter*

i think that�s mainly a ps 6.0 problem only. all other ps versions work fine for me.

... and I think it has something to do with other programs that are running. I had this problem when other programs open a window in the background. Perhaps close other running programs and check if it gets better.

I think that worked, just tried it for a little bit but it would have done it in that little amount of time normally. ^^ Thanks guys! ^_^

well as for the problem when u cant get the pressure etc dynamics to work at all try closing photoshop, loading the driver, ( c:/windows/system/tablet.exe) if that doesnt work open tablet.cpl at the same place ( ie c/windows/system) .
if your strokes just suddely become "flat" try pressing tab (in photshop ofcourse).this should clear the little boxes ( layers, history etc). press tab again to return to normal mode.
hope this helps...
