Yay! This is a little something I made for , who liked some help. I can't say it's a great succes but at least I've tried my hand at tut making. Anyone got a tutorial for tut making?
So, Siriuslymine4eva, I don't know if this is what you were looking for, but I hope it helps and if not, just ask
Edit: AAARGH!!!! Did I just see I spelled Photoshop CS2 wrong at the top? Stupid -_-'

Please help. D: I just found my tablet hiding in my room. Its dirty, and hasnt been used for many years. Now, i tried to use it but the pen is so slow... I have to click real hard to make it paint.And half way my line, it disappears... Can you help? This tut sounds great, so you have to be prof. 8D
Id be happy if you could help me.

Oh hi,
Sorry I haven't replied any sooner :S
Uhm ... I'm really not a prof or anything near it. Frankly, I think your tablet is just old and somewhat unresponsive. You could use your graphic program, though, to set it to more sensitive. Just find your tablet options somewhere. Also, have you downloaded the software and drivers for your tablet? That might also help. Or maybe it just needs some action to wake up.
And that's all I can think of, almost a month after you asked
Cheers

-looks nervious- heh -sweat drop- Do you remember how I got my tablet to work? cause its stopped working again -.-
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oho *sighs*. I think you tried uninstalling it. What exactly does that friggin' thing of you do? Does it say anything or does it just stop working? Is the cable connected? Does it suddenly stop working or from the moment you switch on your comp? Try shouting at it.

I just plug it in. and the little "tablet icon" is down the bottom of my screen, but the pen doesn't work again. I put the disk in and re-loaded the bloody thing, its working but yeah...still mega annoying

its a "vista-pad" which is probably why its stupid, because its made for vista. Guh, not photoshop CS is playing up and i cant get it to do that preasure thingy

It's in the brushes menu ...

I put it to how it shows on this tutorial, just how it was before. And it still wont work -cranky-

What does it do? When you try to paint something, what happens?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it just comes out normally, as if i hadn't changed the settings
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe Photoshop doesn't support vista-pad. Oh, the trouble we artists face ...

-cries- I though "hey, I finally have free time, i'll try out that Tutorial Neryl made me. But not I cant figure how the whole photoshop setting -cries- i cant see your little screen shots to good but I have no idea where the brush setting are.
Like I can see the first left side of the brushes options, but not the second half. I checked and I defiantly have Adobe Photoshop CS2. What am I doing wrong T3T

OK, when I get home I'll take a look at it ^^

OKOK, now you see the Brushes tab in the top right corner, that's the thing you open. There's a list on the left with checkboxes, and if you click one, two things will happen: the box becomes checked, and a menu is opened at the right hand side of the window. Make sure only the boxes for Shape Dynamics, Other Dynamics and smoothing are checked (airbrushing is not very important, I'm not really sure what it does anyway ..^^). For Shape Dynamics, put all the jitters to 0% and select "off". For Other Dynamics Put the jitters to 0% and the boxes to "pen pressure". The brush I've been using a lot lately is the Marker medium Tip, you can select it in the Tool Presets tab.
I hope this answers you question, because otherwise I'm not quite sure what you meant ...
Extra tip: when not filling in with colour, but shading, put your opacity (on the top of the screen when in brush mode) to 70% or lower, and flow to about 70% ...

Ohhh thank you...but I dont have that 'maker medium tip' one
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh. Then pick another brush you're comfortable with and use the same settings ^^
How's it coming?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
eh its hard to get used to. the brushes i have aren't what i like. With ones i've seen that other have, they seem more flowy and not the same size all round.

Oh darn, I forgot the most brilliant key out there: alt. If you are in brush mode, hold alt and press anywhere on your work, you select a colour. It's hyper-fast colour picking! I use it when making my shading more fluent, by going over everything with a 70% opacity brush in the matching colour. If I'm not making any sense, that's because I haven't had any sleep since what feels like 875 days ago. Just a guess, though. Now I'm rattling. Cya!

You can easily shift sixe with the [ and ] keys. Otherwise, play with the opacity and flow, and the settings in the brushes menu. Just try-try-try, it's what everyone's saying, I know, but it's how I got myself to do what I do (whatever that is -_-'

thanks for all your help! but guess what? I dont know what I've done but for some reason the cursor wont move when i move the pen over the tablet, but the light at the top of my tablet blinks, which is when it knows the pen is touching it. Buh i cant win can i?

Uh? Unknown error to me -_-'
Tried rebooting your comp?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I tried that. I've tried a few things to get the pen to work but it wont
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Tell it off for me. Maybe it'll help. Tried uninstalling and installing again? Are all the settings OK? What's the problem exactly, it doesn't do anything at all except the light is on?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'll try uninstalling it, and yelling at it too. Hopefully one will work, cause the light is on, and it blinks when i touch the pad with the pen, which means the pen is working. But it wont move the cursor so I cant draw
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yelling might work, yes. Try to get it to feel afraid of you, maybe. If you got a mouse with the pack, try and see if that works (don't know about you but I have a special mouse to go with the tablet. It's crap though, so I never use it -_-'
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
guh i dunno how to 'uninstall' now. It does have a button. Now I must search for the disk! but no, i didn't get a mouse
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Awww thank you so much -glomps- I'll have to try it out when after I get some sleep (2:49am guh) but yay! I'll have go through my tablet settings to see if i can spot the right setting for the pen pressure, but again thank you!!!!
P.S. I love your bunny!
