It wasn't really addressed in another thread, and I'm just going to delete this once it's answered. How do you make the brushes pressure sensitive and the line always stays solid black, and only changes size? I did it how you're supposed to I presume, but the lines get smaller AND change color to lighter shades. I have shape dynamics turned on. If someone could be specific how to fix this in Photoshop cs3 that would be amazing.

I'm trying to figure out what's wrong bc I ONLY want the width to change as the pressure fluctuates. More specifically, I have shape dynamics checked, and then i have pen pressure on under the size jitter and everything is at 0% in the whole list. 1416 Post 2008-02-20T00:51:34-05:00 35505 283 2008-02-20T00:51:34-05:00 is your opacity and flow at 100% 1416 Post 2008-02-20T01:03:33-05:00 35508 1146 2008-02-20T01:03:33-05:00 <blockquote><cite>derekdeal said:</cite> is your opacity and flow at 100%</blockquote> yes sir.

I usually just do my tablet stuff in AI, sorrrrry. 1416 Post 2008-02-20T12:38:34-05:00 35631 178 2008-02-20T12:38:34-05:00 <blockquote><cite>drewB said:</cite> <blockquote><cite>justinryan said:</cite> saw this last night but didn't have my tablet. going to mess with it right now and see if i can help.</blockquote> good deal. Let me know!</blockquote> Mines just how you has said. Shape dynamics with pressure on. Everything else at zero. The brush tip shape fades in and out(smaller to bigger to smaller) in the preview picture. Are your tablet preferrences setup for pen-mode or mouse-mode with the pen? 1416 Post 2008-02-20T14:20:01-05:00 35692 997 2008-02-20T14:20:01-05:00 It should be pen-mode, but I'm not positive?

Part of the reason for using photoshop for that kind of work is the texture.

They are, it's just the color is changing and it's not supposed to with shape dynamics on. Something is up with my brushes. I've talked to wacom and they didn't know about it either. I need to keep playing with the settings. <blockquote><cite>printolithic said:</cite> drew in system pref. the other tab should have your wacom tablet have you tried playing with the tip feel and or tilt sensitivity? might help, although i just keep mine at the preset defaults. if you increase the size of the line width and are pressure sensitive to the screen this shouldn't be a problem.</blockquote> Yeah, I've been meaning to ask you about it David bc we have the same tablet. I think I need to play with those settings. I'll keep messing, but I'm not sure. It's only photoshop that's been weird. 1416 Post 2008-02-21T17:14:32-05:00 36715 283 2008-02-21T17:14:32-05:00
