Pen Pressure Not Working On Wacom Bamboo

My Wacom Bamboo CTE 450 seems to have died, so I'm looking for a replacement.

Looking at Wacom's site, all the emphasis is to drawing. I don't do that. I use the
pen in editing in PS CS 2014, and primarily when I'm editing a Layer Mask. Further,
I have no interest in the "touch" functions or pen pressure. I just want a tablet used with a pen. I
don'tneed a large working area because I'm always working zoomed in.

It seems the Intuos Creative Small Pen Tablet or the Bamboo Capture Pen and Tablet
are the two choices. Which?

Are there any other brands of pen tablets that I should consider?

Hello Everyone!

I am facing a problem with a brush in Photoshop CS6 Portable. I'm using a Wacom Intuos Pro and yesterday I drew a picture. Today I come back to that same picture and when I select it so I can work on it with the same brush, the nuances are gone. Meaning when I give a lighter stroke there isn't an increase in opacity, like a real brush effect. The stroke is just fully there or it isn't. I'm baffled to what might be the cause of this and feel like I've tried everything so if anyone can offer any help on this issue I would be forever grateful!

Edit: I think I solved it, I turned on always pressure for size and adjusted the brush size and it seems to give me the same brush I was using (yes I'm kind of a noob, especially with tablets), somehow it got turned off I guess? I was wondering though, is it possible to extract the exact brush info & brush parameters from a drawing, by for instance clicking on it?

Hej, I'm about to invest in a new computer. It's leaning towards a laptop this time but I am a bit worried it could affect the ergonomics (i.e. the fact that it is not possible to adjust the screen vs the keyboard). I use a wacom board.
Anyone with experience of using both or know the pro's and con's of these two?
Thanks!

Hi everybody!I was drawing on my tablet in Photoshop. I just saved my work in PSD extension (as I always do because it allows me to use it in different programs like Photoshop,Corel,IllustStudio and SAI without merging the layers), then I went and added few more 'dots' on it, then saved it again so I can get out of the program, but whole computer froze and I waited for atleast 5-7 min but it wouldn't unfreeze itself so I manually restarted it. When I turned it on and went to check on my file, it wouldn't want to open in neither of the programs I have!Every program kept saying: ' Could not complete your request because it is not a valid Photoshop document.'Please help me, I've been doing this piece whole day, and it's one of my best works ever, I really don't want to loose it.Thanks all.

In another thread, I mentioned that I couldn't get the old (2008 vintage), but extremely useful plugin, Color Mechanic, to run under 64 bit Photoshop. Larry ( @ALB68) showed that he didn't have this problem, so I started this thread to help other people with this problem, but not clog up the original thread.

OK, Larry, what's your secret? I just tried again, and still can't get it to work. Arghhh! I attempted to get it to run exactly the same way I installed all my previous installs of it (that worked fine).

I was working on a portrait today and when I sent it to my android device (to test if the color look consistent) that photo turned out to lack red tint. I want my work to be well represented but I believe people on other computers and smart phones may see something different than I see on my screen. Any tips on how to ensure color consistency?

I have a MacBook Pro which I love and will not return to PC anything. But I posted a question on using a windows only filter called fractalius. I had my computer science all wrong. That is: you can not run a Mac Application such as PS for Mac through any virtual windows software unless the application is for windows i.e. PS for Windows. Right? If that is true, does anyone recommend and filter or plugin that emulates Fractalius fractal like filter?

Previewing and selecting fonts in Photoshop has never been a slick affair at the best of times and for me Adobe's latest 'upgrade' just makes the whole process even more annoying.

I'd rather place my wedding tackle in the mouth of a lion whilst flicking his love spuds with a wet towel.

This is a stupid question really, but is there a better way to preview and select fonts in Photoshop?

I've tried the trial of TypeDNA and whilst the standalone app is pretty good I couldn't get the PS plug-in to work.
Extension manager installed it OK but for some reason it doesn't show up as an extension in PS....neither in CC nor CC 2014.
The Type DNA website doesn't appear to have anything on troubleshooting despite being crammed full of info, although I may just have missed it.

So what does every one else use/do?
Am I alone in being annoyed by Adobes latest 'Font Preview upgrade'?
Has anyone else tried TypeDNA and got the plug-in to work in either CC or CC 2014?

...Or should I just forget it and keep flicking the lions pods?

Regards.
MrTom.

Hi Photoshop Gurus


I have been working on a billboard 414cm x 230cm and i have on 4000x6000pix image from a fullframe canon 5dmkii filling up the whole billboard.


What is the best way to save the image for billboard printing + preserve vector lines and text on top of the image?


(i have worked with the plugin perfect resize to scale up but don't like the results)


Now i make a psd. 1to10 (all smartobjects) and then save it as 3000dpi instead of 300dpi so the file is 10 times as big when printed and therefore full size. This way make the pdf's much smaller instead of making 1to1 resolution then i have to save as tiff since the file is over 2gb (can't save as pdf when to big) and the result is actually not as good as the pdf when i review the exports.. + 1to1 is very slow to work with since the files turn into 8gb psb and can be saving/loading for 30-60min sometimes.

The printing company wants the file in TIFF, psd, pdf,ai. My impression if pdf work with everyone so prefer to go with that, of no benefit with other formats.
