Question

No line weight??

So recently I started using Photoshop Elements. ( and for the longest time I was using Photoshop 7, yes, 7!) and when I tried drawing something with the brush tool, I noticed there was no line weight. I am using a Bamboo tablet, and when I used Photoshop7, it picked up the pressure from the pen, so I can easily draw thick/thin lines within the same stroke. However with Elements 2018, I just cannot do it.

Is there a way to add line weight to the brushes???

I'm using windows 10.

I think I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling Bamboo, that might help.

Sorry i didn't realize the link i provided didn't work as expected.

Go to the same link and paste in CTH-661 - Bamboo Fun press Enter and download the Windows Driver

5.3.5-3

This driver should work for your tablet on windows XP thru 10

You can see the Stroke Thumbnail by going to the Brush Preset Picker flyout menu.

I appreciate all your replies.

I clicked on the stroke thumbnail and again, ALL I see are round brushes,

none of the ones with the thin/thick/thin style. If I scroll to the bottom I see other

brushed, but none of them have the line weight like I see in your screen shot.

What am I missing? I thought those brushes came as default.

Does the driver you mentioned add the line weight?

Also please pardon my dumb question but once I go to the link you mentioned,

what exactly do I download?

My bamboo tablet is CTH-661, and I use Windows. (I bought the laptop 2 years ago. )

BTW when I used Photoshop 7, the line weight came out perfectly fine.

Pen Pressure is controlled in the Tablet Settings.

Thank you for your qucick reply.

Where exactly do I click on that little window to get the pressure?

The size? I tried clicking on it, and nothing happened.

Also, when I look at the brushed I have, ALL of them are round.

I looked through the basic brushes, the default brushed, everything.

I don't see the ones where it is thin/thick/thin again like the one shown in the screenshot.

I thought those brushed came as a default, or do I need to download them?
