The Shoelace Stroke Problem -Intuos - Test to see if you have it

[ikken]

There's an active discussion on the wacom forums about pressure problems (although I'm not sure it's shoelace specific): http://forum.wacom.eu/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9954

GoldenAgeArt says:
"I have been in contact with Wacom America on this issue for the last month or so. It is indeed a problem in Photoshop CS6. The engineers have confirmed this. Adobe IS working on patching this problem. However they release updates on a specific schedule, what that schedule is, I have no idea. I have not seen a new update yet. Maybe they do them quarterly? Also, the rep I spoke with at Wacom works very closely with the engineers and no one had called and reported this problem to his understanding."

Could we recruit this guy to handle the shoelace problem as well?

If I'm not mistaken, adobe switched to releasing a new version of CS suite every 2 years and an in-between version (that would be cs 6.5) a year after another creative suite ships
so something may be coming in the next few months, most probably end of April - May (at least the promo campaign would be running around that time)

It's confirmed Adobe problem? well... maybe it is both and Adobe could fix it so you don't see it while using their products... But I still see it in the Wacom Tablet Properties test area so...
and I mean I use that because I can't think of anything more direct, raw and indicative of any pen stroke... irregularities... It is just raw wacom software, so I think the problem is a Wacom product thing.

Also it's in a lot of Ctrl+Paint videos, like the brush trouble shooting one or the Opacity v. Flow video, he doesn't address it though. He uses brushes with pen pressure off or at like 70% min. or something, but you'll always see it in the opacity jitter that is pen pressure reliant y'know?

like set any jitter to go by pen pressure, and do some quick strokes with smoothing on and off, you'll see it.


That's awesome that they're linking here, I'd like to see that, got a link to the page?


Man this thread seems like 5 years ago, I totally barely use my Wacom anymore, not because of this issue however, I just don't use it that much anymore.
