Drawing question

whatever · Jul 2015

Hello for the third time,so I got my Wacom Intous CTL-480 and i managed to fix my pen problem,but now when I started to doodle in Photoshop i noticed that my lines feel inaccurate and very bad.So,my question is:what is good pen pressure sensitivity option,should i use both opacity and size pressure sensitivity and rother good settings for drawing with tablet or its just a question of practice and time?

From my experience with Wacom Intuos CTL-480 it is a bit laggy and drawing with it doesn't feel so smooth and nice as with Wacom Intuos Pro.

For Photoshop settings you may try to enable in Options panel for brush Always Use Pressure for Size and Always Use Pressure for Opacity options.

Also a good idea is to use standard round brush. Using a custom big size brush may decrease performance. Be sure what you have a latest driver installed from wacom site. The rest comes with practice and patience.:)

Thank you,but does the lag affect hugely on drawings?

You can get rid of the delay if you go to your Control Panel / hardware and settings and choose Pen and Touch.

Then disable "press and hold for right clicking".

Depends what kind of lag you have. In my case once in 5 minutes the pen for a second was drawing like it doesn't have any pressure sensitivity. Lines was pretty smooth.

You may try to use this tool for fixing any pen related issues introduced by Windows 7

I'm bringing this up since i will be using a Mac for a while and i can't find the same option that appears in Windows, i know there is not "Hold for right clicking" anymore but i still have a delay when i draw. Anyone knows about this on Mac OS X ?
