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)

Here's a really great tutorial for animating in Photoshop by Alex Grigg.

I would like to share the Idea of adding stabilization to the photoshop program because it slows down the pen and makes it easier to ink. there is a second party program that works with photoshop but they charge for it. it would be more cost efficient if it was put into the program itself. it would make photoshop even more versatile and you wouldn't have to move to another program.

Try Manga studio or Corel painter, they have stroke smoothing.

just found this thread, same here, been wanting to make nice lineart, been trying for weeks but just cant get any smooth lines, and if do theyre in the wrong place.

i have a mac so i cant get sai, i was wondering if getting a cintiq would help because then id be dawing straight onto the screen but im not even sure if that would help and its a lot of money to spend just for that?

ps really should have this tool, its well established as a program used by artists and this just seems like one of the most obvious things that would be added? its making me frustrated to the point where im not sure i should continue with digital, and should maybe just stick to traditional and sack in the photoshop subscription all together.

I suppose it because that photoshop positioned like a photo edit software, not a software for drawing.

I purchased Lazy Nezumi pro and am very happy with it :)
that being said- I agree that photoshop should come with this kind of native functionality. Another suggestion - adobe might consider purchasing Lazynezumi pro and adopting the functionality into it. (why reinvent the wheel?)
No, I'm not in association with LN, I'm just a fan of their product.

Chris, I’m well aware you have a lot of users, aka customers, and I think your comment is a poor example of customer service. Any information that you could provide about the status of this feature request would be far more useful, and appropriate.

I would hope that having all your millions of paying customers would help to provide the resources to implement a simple but fundamental feature which has existed for many years in two of your other flagship products, and is ubiquitous among Photoshop’s competitors, including several which cost nothing. Are all those other developers wrong to bother prioritizing it? Was Adobe wrong to include it in Flash and Illustrator?

Accusing me of impatience regarding a simple feature this long overdue is laughable and patronizing. Would be a bit like me saying "You do know people want to draw stuff with Photoshop, right?"

I’m not asking for a multi-featured plugin like the excellent Lazy Nezumi Pro -
a single, simple ‘smoothing’ slider, like the one Flash has had for the last ten years, would be enough to stop me and many others from having to use your competitors’ products, and would be much better than the on/off ‘Smoothing’ switch in Photoshop which doesn’t appear to do anything useful at any brush size setting.

Ah good old high and mighty Chris Cox, telling users to shut up as usual. I have no idea why Adobe keeps letting you interact with the public.
