Just been fiddling about with cs4 and realised there is no pressure sensitivity in the brushes - This is a must!!!!

Anyone found this and resolved the issue?

It does it with the previous and latest driver.

Cheers

Chris

    UPDATE:

    The new wacom drivers for XP from Dec 15, have seemed to have solved my tools disappearing problems (see above posts from me) - I didn't have the sensitivity problem. I just installed them (no uninstall necessary) and I tried some things that were knocking tools off (adjustment layers esp.) and all seems well as of now. The nature of the problem was that all would be ok for a while then they'd go out so this is tentative and will report back after a week or so.... get the new drivers here:

    Thanks to any Adobe staff that were working with Wacom on this!

    >y the way, if you are a new Genius Pensketch user and using Mac OSX 10.5, make sure you go to the international website at www.geniusnet.com for the driver. If you download the driver from the US site it won't work with 10.5!

    you should post this in the mac forum eric, i'm sure it'll help someone over there.

    I had an email from a tech rep at Genius informing me that the new driver with CS4 support will become available in January. In all my other programs, the tablet performs as well as my smaller Wacom Intuos 3. Its a terrific tool - will be better still if they fix this glitch with CS4! By the way, if you are a new Genius Pensketch user and using Mac OSX 10.5, make sure you go to the international website at www.geniusnet.com for the driver. If you download the driver from the US site it won't work with 10.5!

    ProArtist... You mean only on CS4? because i never had any problem with pressure on earlier versions. Right now i'm on CS3 until further notice and the Tablet works without any problem

    Pressure sensitivity works for me but I do lose it after being in PS for 30 minutes or so.

    I have to then restart PS.

    PS has always had problems with losing pressure sensitivity.

    HEY GUYS!

    JUST INSTALL THE LAST WACOM TABLET X64 DRIVER AND IT WILL WORK FINE!

    IT DID FOR ME...
    YOU DON´T NEED TO UNNINSTAL THE EARLIER DRIVER.

    The issue of 'losing tools' is _not solved_ with Wacom afaik. I still have the issue and have checked occasionally for newer Wacom drivers. I'll check again today.

    I stilll had CS3 installed and there was some notes that might be part of the problem, but my attempt to uninstall CS3 failed 3 times.

    I'm checking frequently the manufacturer's site for an update but Nothing yet. I don't know if this issue for Wacom users is Now Solved?
