A lazy mouse feature in PS would be great. (like the one in Zbrush)

There is an external program called Lazy Nezumi, but this only 'works' on PC, & not on Mac (sadface)

Hi, Mark!
I enjoy your work, and have done for quite a while.
Did you get your wobbly lines fixed?
It's been an ongoing thing for ages, and I've had it both at my work and home Cintiqs/Intuoses.
I found a reliable fix that worked for me the last few years.
If you're on Mac, update the driver and the OS to the latest, they came out with a fix around Christmas, or if you're on pc, check this link out: http://www.yjstudios.com/blog/2014/05...

I hope it helps, that wobbly line is so insanely frustrating.

Thanks,
Joel Akerman

Photo Retouchers would love to have this feature as well.

I used to point people to one of a few other good software options for line-work. But now all I have to do is say use ANY other drawing/painting software for the task. $ or free. I seriously haven't come across a single one that doesn't have both functional drawing (that's not wiggly on a cintiq), as well as post-corrected and/or lazymouse ones to boot.
The king of digital imaging software is the only one left.
I guess it's good to be on top.

Heh. I'm afraid we (digital artists, at least) only make up a tiny, niche customer base for PS.

How is this not native to Photoshop?!?! Even on my iPad, ArtStudio does this. I can't understand how this is not a #1 priority.

yeah, I know, i still have my pc at home where i can use other software that also has lazy mouse. But i have to use Mac in my work and they don't allow me to install any other software ( we have adobe cloud) unless is open source. I tried to install mypaint via mac ports, but i find it too difficult, since i don't have knowledge in programming.

Anyway it would be nice if photoshop considers including this feature.

You can use Sketchbook, Daniela. It has a feature called "Steady Stroke" which delays the movement you make with strokes - and you can adjust it. It's pretty good.
