Hi.

The company I work for has just bought Photoshop CS, and I was wondering how can I get good looking Pressure sensitive Opacity, when I draw with my Wacom G3 pen. The Opacity Jitter only gives me some odd looking, semi-transparent filled circles (like a brush with large spacing) and not at all something that looks like the opacity I’m used to in earlier versions..

Oh, and PS CS is EXTREMELY slo–oo–oo–oow.

I have a 2.4 ghz p4. 256 mb ram, and work mostly with small imagefiles, 10-12 mb opened in PS.

YOur not the first to complain about how slow PS CS is……………for pressure sensitive opacity open your brush pallets and adjust the settings under "Other Dynamics". Try setting the "Opacity Jitter" and "Flow Jitter"
to "Pen Pressure"

turn off the jitter and set the opacity to use the pressure directly.

And if CS is slow, you need to look at the other threads outlining what might be wrong with your system or your preferences.

You also may want to get more RAM

I didn’t think of setting the jitter to 0% 🙂

Thanks! The slowness was caused by version cue i think, cause i deactivated it, and then PS was zippy!

Thanks again!
