Photoshop Reborn..

[nodaedalus]

Hello again!

I believe it's been around 3 years since I've posted and almost as long since I've picked up my tablet and opened Photoshop! Unfortunately life happened and I had to put a lot on hold for some time..however, I'm back!

And I've got questions

If anyone has a moment to help me, it would sure save me some time.

I am looking for some recommendations on the settings used for the Brushes in Photoshop, in regards to such categories as "Shape Dynamics" "Texture" "Other Dynamics" etc..

I am looking for a beginners setup for these settings, where my values properly interact with one another. At the moment it seems that no matter how hard or soft I press with my pen, I'm getting 100% of the value, I cannot seem to make it react to the pen's pressure.

Secondly, and this very well could be related. I know there was a way to access the .dat file for the Wacom tablet(I understand this query is native to this sub-forum, but bear with me) but now it doesn't appear to be a similar file. I remember there being much less code and as the User, I was able to edit a few lines to adjust the sensitivity, has this feature been disabled by Wacom? I have downloaded and installed the most recent drivers.

BIG thanks for the Helps

current wacom drivers include a decent pressure curve editor (at least intuos ones)

for the rest use google and/or get some educational videos, it's all there.
