Okay so I'm trying my hand at drawing. I just recently bought a wacom (Graphire 4x5) and when I draw a circle it is made out of a bunch of choppy lines. I'm using PS 6.0. I have the stylus settings on for size but not on fade or opacity. What am I doing wrong? Is this a bug or do I have my settings mixed up? I would appreciate any help. Oh yeah, painter works fine, smooth lines and circles.

hmm, i get that when i move the pen too fast, i think it's a hardware issue - I think it's the computer not being able to calculate the speed of information coming in form the pen. Not sure on that one, could just be something with photoshop

Its not the wacom, its photoshop, get corel painter 8 and your circles come out perfectly.

Get Alias sketchbook, you can download a trial version from the alias website.
Its great for drawing.

I asked Adobe about this issue some time ago. It turns out that Photoshop 7 and below draws out choppy lines if you have relatively little RAM available. I think 768+ mb makes perfectly round lines in all versions of Photoshop. Either way, Photoshop CS solves this problem, but in turn, the rendering process for the brush strokes is overall a lot slower.
