Glitch when drawing in Photoshop

Community Beginner ,
May 01, 2019 May 01, 2019

Hi, I have been having this glitch when I draw on photoshop recently. I don't really know how to explain it so I screen recorded it.

I have updated both my tablet and Photoshop and I uninstalled and reinstalled it on my computer. I am out of ideas of what to do.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thankshttps://vimeo.com/333583968

Hi Oliviag,

That should not be happening, let us help make this right.
As the Wacom tablet is not drawing consistent strokes, could you please let us know the exact version of Photoshop and operating system you're working on?

Also, please try uninstalling and reinstalling the Wacom drivers and see if it helps.

If that does not help, then try the steps mentioned on this article and let us know how it goes: Tablet support for Photoshop on Windows 8

Regards,
Sahil

I have reinstalled the Wacom driver and it still happens. Though, it happens when I draw on a layer only, when I drawn directly on on the background there's no glitches.

Could you please try enabling "Legacy compositing" located in Photoshop's Preferences > Performance, then relaunch Photoshop and let us know if it helps?

Hi thanks for answering! I am currently using Photoshop version 20.0.4 with macOS Mojave version 10.14.4. I will try to uninstall my Wacom.

The lines stay erased after a refresh of the screen? That info you do not show.

If the graphic is correct after refreshing the screen, I would tip a driver error.

It's  difficult to know what is  going on from the video,  because we don't know what actions you are using to make it happen.  It looks like  straight lines are linking the cursor, as would happen if holding down the Shift key  as you touch down with the pen (or left clicking  with the mouse).  I  can  remember similar posts here if that is your problem. 

Check  this thread as a for  instance
