Photoshop CS & Tablet?

[TheNeverman]

Pressure sensitivity options are set in the 'brushes' tab...

You can change the pressure settings as TheNeverman mentioned but you won't get anywhere near the pressure sensitivity which painter has. Basically its just a limitation of the photoshop brush engine and for now it something we have to live with.....

You can also play with the tip feel setting in your wacom tablet settings. Turn up the tip sensitivity for better results.

do u mean to say photoshop is not pressure sensitve(or sensitive enough) ?

[Whipyo]

Photshop is pressure sensitive but I feel the implementation is not sensitive enough compared to painter.

yup, what TheNeverman said.
Specifically:
for a thick/thin line (thin when you press light, thick when you press hard) go to 'shape dynamics' and set 'size jitter' to 'pen pressure'. and 'minimum diameter' to a low %.

For a brushstroke that is more transparent when you press lighter, more opaque when you press harder, go to 'other dynamics' and set both opacity and flow to 0% jitter and 'pen pressure.'

Also, try changing the 'spacing' under 'brush tip shape'. With the standard round brush, it looks best (less fake) if it's set to 1%, at least that's what I think :)

You can have both size and opacity set to pen pressure the same time, I love using a brush with the above settings, but the minimum diameter set to around 75%.
Of course the best thing to do is experiment (with these settings and all others) and find out what has the best effects for YOU :)

in wich case i have a problem is:
wehn i make some brush-strokes (opacity is set to penpresure) with a totaly smooth brush you can see every brush-stroke! i know it's no fault of photoshop, but if i use a real brush, pen, pencile... it's never that bad. it's always muuch smoother.

do you have any advices how i should work so that i get
"smoother strokes".

I think of painting with oil, this kind of smoth and homogenic strokes.

i played with the settings...

Hi Metoc,

I don't really understand what you want, since oil paint doesn't have transparency. But perhaps, if you set Transparency Jitter to "off" and Flow Jitter to "pen pressure"... is that what you want?
