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)

You do understand that we have thousands of requests from millions of users, right?

If you want a feature, tell us why and vote for it. But don't get impatient while we implement all the other feature requests ahead of this one.

Trying to use a Wacom to animate in Photoshop on a Mac, would be so much improved with a brush stroke smoother.

Flash and Illustrator both have this option, as do Corel Painter, Sketchbook Pro, Paint Tool SAI, Fire Alpaca, Krita, Gimp and others.

It seems really weird that Adobe don't seem to have prioritized this feature.

Sure Flash is built for animation but I want to work with bitmaps, not vectors, and Flash still has that stupid brush-stroke-doesn't-scale-with-zoom behavior.

This thread is 3 years old now - come on Adobe, please? You're supposed to be the best!

This is a feature I really miss and the reason I can't ink my comics in Photoshop. Currently I have to use Sketchbook Pro to ink my pages which isn't ideal.

Please add this feature!

I would absolutely LOVE to see this added to Photoshop! RIght now on the Mac there isn't really a lot of choices when it comes to this feature... I think Sketchbook Pro is really the best option out there but it's still not all that great. If Photoshop could do something like Lazy Nezumi—but built-in—would be AMAZING!

When I ink lines in PS, it always results in a sort of "lumpy" look, no matter how I configure my brush. 😞

Adobe - Please add this to photoshop. I'm a long time user of your products (currently subscribing to Adobe CC)- But the current Photoshop CC really needs this. It would save me HOURS of time from having to under states of history because my hand didn't get the stroke just right, and using the pen tool to create these strokes is way too inefficient.

this would be an ideal addition to photoshop. If I want to use the lazy mouse feature right now I have to change over to Sketchbook Pro and use it (steadystroke). It's a hassel when you would think Photoshop would be one up on them with this. I think even painter 12 has a steadystroke/lazy mouse feature. "Photoshop peeps: please consider this on my immediate wish list. Also, bring back scrolling features on the bridge CC using the mouse wheel. I miss the feature on CS 6 and it was much faster in my workflow."

There is a new version of lazy nezumi available called Lazy Nezumi Pro:

It works as a photoshop plugin and is very easy to use.
It has many bugfixes and new features since the old version, so check it out!

The smoothing setting does smooth your brush stroke in Photoshop. It's more noticeable with smaller brush tips.
