I’ve recently aquired a Wacom Intuos Graphics Tablet and I’ve spent ages trying to get the pen to act like a spray gun but with no success. I don’t know if this is really a Wacom question but there are more controls within Photoshop than within the Wacom property controls.
I’m trying to get the pen to act like a spray gun so that when I tilt the pen the spray comes out of the nib (on the screen) in the direction in which the nib is pointing and in a spray form i.e. hard and darker near the tip and fading out in an arc from it. I’m in the Brushes window (Window>Brushes) and I’ve tried no end of combinations but I’m just not getting anywhere. What sprays out of the nib insists on spraying out in all directions. I’ve noticed that if I touch the nib to the tablet and pull backwards it sprays downwards, push forward it sprays upwards etc., but that’s no good. I want to be able to point the nib and the spray will come out in the direction the nib is pointing, just like a real spray gun.
Also I can’t get the spray itself to look like a spray. I’ve tried the fade and all kinds of things but it still just looks like a blob with hazy edges.
There are so many combinations to try it would take all week to try every one and the instructions are very difficult to understand so I’m wondering if I can cheat and ask if there is there anyone out there who has already figured it out.
