Im sitting here with my wacom tablet which just recently arrived in the mail, wondering what the hell? So far its dead-locked my system 3 times in less than 30 minutes, and the resolution seems wack. Does it move pixel by pixel or drag itself across the screen? Just wondering . . .
And to go over an image you might have previously drawn, whats the best tool to use to outline it? Airbrush? Paintbrush? Pencil? Brush settings? |

I think other people have experienced this problem too. I believe the best thing to do would be to dl the drivers, availabe at www.wacom.com

Im curious, Fearme .. whats your systems specs ?
I got no tablet ...
Im using Photoshop 5.0 + Corel Draw 8.
On a 450mhz, 128mb SDRAM.
I gotta Iomega Zip disk, 17" monitor and a Logitech Mouse, which doubles as an extension of my thoughts when I rail someone in mid-air.
.... *WHEEEEeeee* .... *GIB !! * *Impressive!*

hello fear. to outline I'd recommend illustrator or freehand.. hell, even flash4 will do lines = use vectors
if you don't want the lines I'd recomend painting over the pencil layer completely, with the original pencil drawing in front of you for reference
good luck fixing the tablet |
