,, i got my tablet about half a week ago.. and i cant use it properly!! i cant draw ANYTHING.. not even a footstep near my crappy drawings i do on paper.. its so .. weird i dunno its not working very well.. i think it might have something to do with the way i have to press so hard to actually get it to DO something in PHOTOSHOP.. i cant find anything to make the lines come out better.. (this is with pressure on.. koz i want that shade stuff)

I had the same 'zact problem when I first got it. I felt like I flushed 200 bucks down the loo! Well something happned (i don't know what, somehow the settings changed?) and I didn't have to press as hard. Then I went nuts and there was no stopping me. Now school work has piled up and I have sat looking longingily at my tablet wishing I could just jump on and paint something but...thats life.Work before play. Oh well. Take it ez man. You'll get it to work. The only problem is you can't GRAB YOU PAPER AND TURN IT OVER TO MORE EASILY DRAW LINeS AT CERTAIN ANGLES!!!! AHHHH,, well... I guess I'll always be a paper and pencil artist at heart.

Had it for ever .. but that fixes by CONTROL PANEL/ WACOM or on a wacom table there is a presure set buttons .. so just click them .. and else in a while you'll get another problem .. PEN gonna start workin really shitty .. sometimes it will just repeate click .. so for best change you need a new one .. well this is it for now ..

It seems like you have to spend some time to get used to use tablets. From time to time I was thinking that I did it better even using a mouse.

All I can tell you is make sure you have your tablet centrally located in front of you (if it's off to the side like a mouse pad it's hard as hell to draw on)

If you've fiddled with your settings and it still doesn't work it might either be that your tablet is busted or that you just don't jive with how it works in Photoshop. I use photoshop and I've found it good enough with the tablet but a lot of people don't like to use it with the tablet at all. If that be the case, try 'Painter'... I'm trying to wrangle up a copy myself to try it out.
