I'm using a wacom tablet with the latest version of photoshop which I installed about a month ago.
Sometimes it works fine (when I've just opened the application) but after a while it becomes hyper sensitive - just almost impossible to use in photoshop - particularly with the magnifying glass and the selection tool. It's hard to explain but it's hyper / everything gets selected / as the pen passes over something, it draws a shape / zooms out. It doesn't happen in other applications - like Lightroom and it didn't happen with the old version of photshop, so I'm pretty sure it's not the pen.
It's bringing on an RSI in my hand. I can't use a mouse because of RSI.
also - I would say that most times when I open photoshop it works fine for a while (using the wacom tablet) and then after a while, I run into these problems and it starts being very hyper. Maybe it's a memory / CPU problem with photoshop?
me too! I use my pen for everything, I hardly ever select a mouse as i'm flicking between designing and various software all the time. There's a lag which means when you're selecting to drag and drop or especially on text, it's double clicking so files open instead of moving, text selects a whole line or more and you can't get the cursor to stay where you want, it's like you have a sticky pen, it's all over the place and extremely annoying. I've changed pen settings numerous times and it's no use, am at the end of my rope, it's so frustrating!
Already done, done the updates, resets, Wacom diagnose etc and none of it fixes it, it's been going on several months now, it's clearly a Wacom issue not Adobe
