I have just tried to draw in photoshop with my tablet. And for the first time it's started to jitter when I move it across the screen.

I don't know whether it's the nib of it or not, it seems perfectly fine.

Anyone have any ideas of what could be wrong with it?

T'is quite annoying Mad

I think I've sorted it. Was because of the amount of layers used I think.

If read trough the FAQ that came with your wacom manual you would find that the problem most likely is the hertz of your monitor, crank it up to the max and you'll see it'll be better... Hope this helps...

Thanks a lot for that Smile

Appreciate it.

I'll be sure to try it out and see if there's any difference , Tom.

Make sure your tablet is several inches away from your monitor. If it's too close, the monitor can cause interference and that jiggling you're experiencing.

Ooooo, never knew that. It shouldn't be a problem though, my monitor is around a foot away Smile

Thanks for commenting though, Tom.

P.S. I'm still yet to try changing the hertz of my monitor, not done much drawing lately Rolling Eyes

Ah right, I'll have to take a look. There doesn't seem to be anything electrical near it though.

Have to take a look at the Hertz of my monitor...

EDIT:

I just tried it then, and when I change it from like 60 to 70+ it makes my screen go out Confused

Anyone know why this could be?

Can anybody also help me with a little problem? It seems as if when I have to draw short lines , without zooming in. It kind of spikes a bit.

Ah right, that must be it then. I am currently running at 1152x864. I'll have to change it when I draw.

Thanks mate Smile

I just changed it, changed the hertz, was lookign up. But it still jerks. Something must be wrong with the tablet Sad

rec|use This may seem out of the ordinary, but do you by chance have your Computer Tower on your desk along with your drawing tablet? Because this is how I have mine and the case produces a mild rumble due to case fans. This vibration can cause your hand and tablet to "jiggle" ever so slightly.

J. Cheung These "spikes" or jagged lines you're refering to could be caused by the Zoom percentage you are working at. If you are zoomed out to an odd ratio, say 33.3%, photoshop isn't able to give you all the detail you're expecting. Try and zoom into a more even ratio. Usually it's just every other zoom that is an odd ratio (If using default zoom clicking).

That's what my desktop looks like, there doesn't seem to be anything close enough to interfere with the tablet to me Confused
