Using the Pen Tool in Photoshop

[simonh68269542]

Is anyone having difficulties using the pen tool? I have found that in the latest version, the pen tool is glitchy. The nodes do not always click where I want them. Or float off.

ALso found issues using the hand tool.

I used it Sunday during my weekly stream on Behance for the Adobe Education Leaders program. I did not have any issues.
The only thing that bugs me is how think that blue line is. Not sure if that can be adjusted or not.  Maybe I am too used to Illustrator in that regard.  I just do not need a bulky line.

What computer are you using? Are you using a mouse or a graphics tablet?

Hi, I am using Photoshop on a PC with Windows 10 with a mouse.

If you are referring to the appearance of path, you can adjust the colour and the line thickness via Preference > Guides, Grid & Slices > Path

Sounds like a GPU issue based on your description.

We have updated the driver for the GPU and it is compatible and it still does the same.
