Unable to paint at 100% opacity with pressure sensitivity on

[Abel Oroz]

Hi,

Since some time ago I'm unable to paint at 100% opacity. I'm demoted to CS6 (always worked fine, and I generally prefer older versions) but I doubt it's version-specific. I paint with a Cintiq 13HD with opacity linked to pressure sensitivity. However, no matter how hard I press, it seems to be unable to reach full 100% opacity. Fully opaque brush settings paint 100% just fine. I am at the second pressure sensitivity setting in Wacom settings (Softest +1), if I took it even lower the problem solves but I'm unable to paint anything remotely low-opacity, higher settings to +1 paint even less opaque at maximum pressure. I'm using no layers, the brush image is 100% black and both the opacity and flow are 100%. Minimum opacity per pressure is set to 0% in the brush (which I need, since I need the full range of pressures) and it does paint opaque if I turn it to 100% (but again, I lose the chance to paint with lower opacity).

Any ideas?

Have you tried adjusting the curve in the Wacom settings ? Note : I use an Intuos Pro not a Cintiq but presumably the options are similar.

Wow, thanks Dave. I had to adjust it to a somewhat weird curve, but that solved it. A million thanks! 😄

You're welcome

Abel, do you use Lazy Nezumi Pro?  I have a Cintiq Companion 2 and an Intuos 4 for my desktop system, and as well as all its other functions, LNP has a spectacularly useful pressure control function.  I don't use 'Pressure/Speed' but I do use LNP to control pen pressure.

If you use the tablet for illustration, LNP is a must have add on in my opinion.  I'd be lost and less capable  without it.
