Update: A friend, Miguel, suggested another way to open the Wacom Tablet Utility, which is different from the video. I think most of you know how to do this, but there are always newcomers to the blog who do not. The following videos walk you through those steps. After uninstalling, then you install the new driver. Wacom suggests that before you install a new driver you should uninstall the present driver. This post will have two videos, one for a Mac and one for a PC. But first, we need to talk about installing drivers. So I decided to do a series of videos about how I setup and use my tablet. If you later want to rever to Windows Ink / turn off the gestalt's functionality, if it doesn't contain any other commands delete the PSUSerConfig.txt file, rename it, or move it to a different folder.A couple of weeks ago I got my new Wacom Intuos 5 tablet and I love it.Open this file and paste or write these two lines:.with notepad) and name it: PSUserConfig.txt create new text file in this folder (e.g.NB AppData is a hidden folder! If you can't see it, you need to change your view settings in Windows Explorer to show hidden files. find Photoshop's Settings folder, normally in:Ĭ:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2015\Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 Settings.If you want to go back to the old WinTab implementation of previous versions do the following: These APIs give better stroke results and improve the out-of-the-box experience using Windows tablet/convertible devices. With these APIs you need to have Windows Ink enabled. Windows Ink is supposed to provide better functionality, but many users do not notice any difference.įrom Photoshop CC 2014, the 'stylus' changed to use Microsoft's system APIs. If that does not help, he should try reverting to WinTab. Uncheck ENABLE PRESS AND HOLD FOR RIGHT-CLICKING to remove the "ripple" effect.Ĭhange to the FLICKS tab and uncheck the two checkboxes. Select PRESS AND HOLD from the list of pen actions and click SETTINGS. Open the PEN AND TOUCH settings from the CONTROL PANEL. Try disabling the 'ripple effect' (Press and hold to right click) and the 'Pen Flicks': That was a test to narrow down the problem, not intended as a solution. I asked you to test to disable the "Use Windows Ink". ** I've not tried this yet, so no idea if it works for laggy sliders in Lightroom, or indeed if it will fix the curves issue you are all describing, but I've posted here in the hope it will help someone **
After a few email bounces back and forth (where they were telling me to turn windows ink off, and me pointing out this turns off pressure sensitivity within PS), they sent me the following. Hi, so I logged the 'laggy sliders' problem as a support call with Wacom. And sadly everything was working fine in LR 5.7.1. Furthermore it is unaffected by turning on or off GPU acceleration.
Keep in mind after reading the forum thread that these issues only affect LR and not Camera Raw. But for pen and tablet usability this jerky and inresponsive feel is appalling. I belive that thelazydesigner is right about that this has something to do about Adobe programming a mouse slow down smoothing using LR to increase usability for accelerated mouses. Using mouse or tablet touch is as perfect as before, but I want to use the pen all the time.
Thereafter it is somewhat smooth until you release the pen.
As said before it needs a good push to activate any change, moving the pen fast and quite a bit of travel, then it jumps and moves alot. white balance), setting and dragging adjustment points on a RGB histogram, HSL picker tool and generally all sliders when scrubbing. I'm getting seriously tired of this prolonged bug and it still affects grabbing slider values and dragging (scrubbing ie. plist preference files (keeping a backup) under my user account and did a fresh install of Wacom driver keeping nothing from previous version. In hopes of a remedy I thrashed Lightroom. So Adobe released Lightroom CC 2015.1.1 and new Wacom driver 6.3.13w3. This thread has been going on since April when LR CC was released.
