I guys, am desperate! my brush "smoothing" tool doesn't work anymore, anytime i choose a brush with pen pressure control, and i put 100% or 10% smoothing, the line isn't conitnuous, it creates gaps , little holes in my lines every second i trace , or every inch i don't really know but i do not have a perfect line anymore, i use a wacom cintiq 24hd i reinstalled photoshop, then the wacom pilot, preferences, everything and today i reinstalled the whole computer and damned! the problem is still there. This occure only in photoshop, not even on fresco nor clipstudio...anyone? thnks

i solved it, all issues...oh my god with a simple .txt in the roaming adobe setting files...

 

So here you go 

1. Create new text document

2. Write: UseSystemStylus 0

3. Save as: PSUserConfig.txt

4. Go to: C:\Users\YOUR-USER\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 20xx\Adobe Photoshop CC 20xx Settings 4.5 If you can't find the AppData folder, Enable hidden items in the explorer

5. Still having issues, you can now disable windows ink This is different for intuos and Cintiq Intuos is under mapping Cintiq is under calibrate

6. Get rid of additional bloat: Go to Pen Settings for Windows and turn off anything with Windows Ink

 

thanks to the youtube use that uploaded this...this fix everything!

I can remember at least one previous thread with the issue, and they were using a Cintiq Companion 2, and a similar issue where the poster was using a Cintiq 16 Creative Pen Display.  I don't remember fixing the first case, but it looks like the second poster got it working.

 

Good luck, and it would be helpful if you could report back on whether the following thread helps you.

If you go to the Brush Settings panel (Window > Brush Settings) and click on Brush Tip Shape, in the lower right, what is the Spacing setting? Drag the slider to the left (1% ) if you don't want any gaps.

Note, decreasing spacing increases the load on the CPU/computer. So painting will slow down and lag the lower your Spacing is set to.
