Wacom Intuos4 and Photoshop CS4

[keenox]

I can't get pen tilt working in Photoshop CS4. If I choose pen tilt option in brush shape for shape dynamics it works as if the control would be set to pen pressure sensitivity. Diagnostics in driver options show tilt is detected. Tilt only works for angle control in CS4. And I'm using the latest update for CS4. In spite of this, i tried my intuos4 in corel sketchpad and it works great, just as expected. It detects pressure, tilt angle and tilt direction. I don't know what could be the problem. Can someone confirm having tilt working in CS4?

I'd like to use tilt for roundness control.

There has been a lot of discussion on this. Do a forum search!

[Chris Cox]

Install the 11.0.1 update.

I wrote in the original post that i'm using the latest updates. So that doesn't solve anything.

LE: I did a forum search and read every relevant thread. I concluded that it's a fault of Adobe, as everyone complains about both tilt and rotation not working properly in Photoshop. What is more, i've tested the tablet myself in Corel SketchPad and it works flawlessly. That adds up to my conclusion. If I'm wrong please tell me the correct settings in Photoshop.

Oh... and i forgot to write. Before posting in this forum, I posted in the Wacom forum and they too said it is an Adobe related problem.

PS: When I'm using Opera, pressing enter adds a new line before, not after the current line, in the post form. What could be the problem?

I also took my time today and tested my tablet in Illustrator CS4. It works wonderfully! Why can't Adobe implement the same options for Photoshop? Is it so hard to copy paste the code?

Uh Yes. Yes it is.

Don McCahill Hope you were being ironic.

Post 2 was from Chris Cox telling you to install an Update.

Did you do this?

I did install the update and my Wacom Intuos 3 still only works in the 32-bit version of CS4 and NOT the 64-bit version. Running
Vista Ultimate, 8 G Ram, 3 GHz processor, and 1T HD.

[Mama Shan]

I just went to Wacom and they have a new driver, too- 6.11 something. I installed it and

I'm happy to report my Wacom Intuos 3 now functions properly in Photoshop CS4 64-bit. So maybe the combo of the Photoshop CS4 update and the Wacom driver update is the fix for your Intuos 4 tablet, too! Just follow the installation instructions, turn Windows Defender off and any virus protection programs before installing.

Isn't there any solution for this?

I've tested the tablet on a Windows Vista 32bit with Photoshop CS2 and the tilt control for roundness worked very well.

I'm currently working on a Windows XP x64 with both Photoshop CS4 32bit and 64bit versions.

Looking at your post on the wacom forums you could not be helped. Wacom told you they could not adjust their drivers and to go to adobe for help. Best bet is to call adobe support.

[keenox]

I tried to contact support, but I didn't really manage to do so. I'm using the trial version of CS4 and as far as I understand Adobe offers support only for purchased products. Could someone give me some details for contacting tech support?

!!!!!!!!!!FOR ANYONE WHO HAS THIS PROBLEM!!!!!!!

LE: I did some research on my own. This is a problem of Photoshop CS4. I've tested CS2 and CS3 and they work properly. If you want tilt control you have to use versions prior to CS4.

Does tilt work fine with Photoshop CS4? I have the latest driver (6.11-3) installed and it doesn't work in cs4.

[Guest]

tilt does not work for me either, but then I use CorelPainter for stuff like that.

[Chris Cox]

As long as you have Photoshop 11.0.1 and updated Wacom drivers, tilt works perfectly with Photoshop CS4.

how does it work when everyone says it doesn't? could you post some samples of tilt working in psp cs4?

[Chris Cox]

"everyone" hasn't said it doesn't work.

Most of the people who had it failing have now updated Photoshop and their drivers and have it working.

I've been at this a long time, I have the latest PSCS4 update and the latest WACOM drivers, it still does not work PERIOD!

I've read a lot of topics on this subject and no user that started the thread had received a viable solution and now Bart just said that. . I even posted a print screen of using the latest update. Why don't you believe me that it doesn't work? I'm now using Photoshop CS3 and it works perfectly, as it does in Illustrator CS4 (yes, CS4). What makes you think it's a driver problem or an update problem?

[Guest]

I've tried everything, but still no go.

I'm going to the other side, this is a Photoshop issue. FIX IT!

.... and do not install the latest drivers, they are RCs, not finals, use at your own peril.

I have contacted WACOM, if anything changes I will post it, if not, I'll take another kick at the PS team.

[keenox]

Bart: you shouldn't have bothered. i've been through that before and got the same thing.

It ABSOLUTELY isn't a driver issue. If it had been that way, tilt wouldn't work in the Corel software, but it does. The first thing I did when I've seen tilt doesn't work in Psp, I went to the Wacom forums. I tried everything they said, even tested my tablet with some SDK tools from Wacom and I concluded that they did their job flawlessly. This is a Photoshop CS4 fault. I'm 110% sure of it. As I said tilt works perfectly in any other version of Photoshop and in any other software (Corel Painter and Sketchbook, the ones I've tested) that supports it. The tests were conducted on the very same computer and on the very same OS, with all the latest updates (driver, software, OS, motherboard BIOS).  ps: i don't mean to sound so rude, but please don't treat us all like retards. we're not.

OK, well I would like anyone who has an Intuos tablet with tilt bearing working to send a screen shot of it working, press F5 to show the brush settings that you are using. I'd like to try those settings. For some reason Chris feels we have to trust his word but would not provide any proof it works on their machines.

Anyone else on the PS team want to chime in here?

[Chris Cox]

There was a bug in Photoshop 11.0.0 related to pen tilt.  That bug was fixed in Photoshop 11.0.1.

There was a bug in some versions of the Wacom drivers also related to tilt, those got fixed a few months ago.

Until you find the source code with the bug in it, you can't be sure where the bug is.

But because other people have pen tilt working perfectly, I'm kinda sure it's not as simple as you think.

[keenox]

ok. this is hopeless. so... i photoshopped my photoshop starting screen and changed the version from 11.0.0 to 11.0.1 just to lose my time on the adobe forums. now i find out that i need to reverse enineer photoshop and start debugging, so i can fix it myself. thank you adobe!

p.s.

ps2: I give up!
