Hi!

I've got a huge problem, I use Photoshop for my hobby which is creation nice design, which I share with other people. Now...
I have PS CS2 & CS3, at first, when I used the pen tool in CS2, it would't do the simulate pressure. When I got CS3, at first I was delighted to see that here the simulate pressure DID work! But after just one use, it my joy collapsed, again the simulate pressure does not work!
I really don't know what to do, I've searched every forum on the net, but I can't find an answer! Please help me!

Thanks for you time, Yvo Hunink

    Make an open line using Pen Tool (P)

    click Brush Tool (B)

    click window > Brushes   or click F5

    Activate Shape Dynamics and  set control to Pen Presure

    Then on canvas, right click> Stroke Path, check Simulate Pressure

    Done!

    Tips:
    - to sharpen the edge, set the hardness of Brush Tool (B) to 100%
    - Brush tool (B), right click and set the hardness

      Switching the shape dynamic on. It is under the brushes tab, which [should be located on the top right side of the ps window]

        Hi I've just had this problem. I tried resetting the brushes and it worked. Just go to the dropdown in the brush palette and select Reset Brushes.

        I found that pen pressure stopped working when my computer went into standby or hibernation. After restart and selecting pen pressure again, it works.

        Wacom did not have a solution to this last time a checked a couple of months ago.
