Lightroom 3.6 - on some photos I get a ! mark saying there is a unknown error while writing metadata to this photo. retry? - which I do and it still will not save. No other message is displayed. I've verified there are no 'read-only' permissions on both my folder and photos as well as the catalog folder and files. Ever photo that I have noticed this on as a exif version of 0210. ( not sure if it's related or not ).

Vinegar, I have completely same issue with my Wacom/Photoshop Win10 combination. Pressing R is a workaround, but I liked touch wheel functionality a lot...

It would be good to know if there actually is a button sequence that could trigger rotation increments in Ps. Like for example 11.25° at a time, and eight steps yield a 90° counter clockwise turn of the artboard. Then it would be easy to assign keystrokes to the tablet touch Ring which always has been working well, whereas Rotation command practically never recently worked properly.

I've tried different combinations of R-+ and Alt-R-+ and similar but no luck.

Hi,
the Wacom driver doesn't recognise specific functions for tablet hotkeys, touch ring or grip pen settings specified for Adobe Ps. This works as expected for other application specific settings per application including other Adobe software. I need to modify the standard setting of touch ring keystrokes or for example grip pen settings to get brush size adjustment and the pen pressure i want running Ps.

macOS 10.13.1
Wacom Intous Pro PTH-651, driver 6.3.25-2 using cable connection
Adobe Photoshop CC 2018



A guess could be that the driver doesn't recognise the Ps application correctly and therefor gives me the standard settings. I have of course cleared previous Wacom driver installed including user settings.

Sure. Sure it's Wacom's Glitch after the Adobe Software update. Nevermind it worked before the sweeping Adobe Update (which had a huge amount of bugs), it's "probably" Wacom's fault.

BTW, I was being sarcastic.

So why does it work in PS 2017 then?

A few day after I posted this message, I was able to work with Photoshop cc2018 and cintiq again. This is good news. This is what is functioning again: 
+ my brushes are grouped and my art pen works on my cintiq again
+ I can activate my wacom tablet properties and change expresskeys
But I still have problems: 
The top button of my touchring autoscroll zoom works, but not the other two:
- the Rotate in Photoshop doesn't work with my touchring = programmed on touchring, "rotate")
- Brush size: programmed on touchring with keystrokes [  counter-clockwise and  ] clockwise 
It would be great, if these could work again too.

Hi.  I am also on windows 7 but the problem is still unresolved.

if you open the image file on the cintiq rotate will not work, you have to open the image file on a separate PNP monitor. we tried 2 files at the same time. drag the app to a PNP open file and its fine, drag back to cintiq and open another file so they are side by side, the cintiq file does not support OPENGL but the file opened on PNP will still rotate. so NOT photoshop.

I have the same problem with PS 2018
PS 2017 used to have a shortcut for rotate right and left 'Ctrl+[' 'Ctrl+]' and wacom used that, now i cant seem to find the shortcut it uses so i can manually change in wacom software

I have also problems with my photoshop cc2018 and cintiq 24 hd touch. After I installed photoshop cc2018 I was able to work for a while. Eager to check out the new function of grouping brushes, I took the time to organize my brushes, what worked.  But the next time I opened Photoshop cc2018,  I couldn't reprogram a button  with my express key properties. 
Today I encountered serious problems. My artpen doesn't work on my tablet, even after closing and opening my tablet again.  None of the buttons to open my wacom tablet properties react. Restarting my computer several times will not help.
 
I'm getting this pop-up now. (see image)
I am lucky for still having installed the 2015.5.1 version. With this one, my cintiq works without any problem. I hope this problem will be solved for the photoshop cc2018. For the moment I'm working again with the older version.
