Description
Quite a big file, so be warned. Fits on a 1024 x 768 screen without a problem. (width-wise, at least) ^^A couple of people have asked me about setting up pressure sensitivity for a pressure sensitive tablet on Photoshop. I've tried to make it as simple as possible
Full credit, I think, though, goes to ~kuridoki 's tutorial: [link] Setting it up's the same, but this is where I learnt it from.
Hope this helps!
(I realise there is a category for this, but I wanted it in my scraps so...)

I thought I did... But darn it... It won't work... I have got it all set up and saved the brush, and it still doesn't change anything... the brush seems to still be a thick round one D:

Sometimes I find I need to close the program I'm using, unplug/replug the tablet and open the program again for it to work. Maybe that might work? ;A;

I'll try, but should I turn off the whole computer then try? Just in case. DX
(Btw thank you ^^ )

Ack, sorry for the late response! ><
I only need to restart very rarely, usually it'll just work if I close Photoshop. ;w; Did you get it to work?

Hi there, loving the tutorial but I'm going to be a pain and ask if you would know why my graphics tablet isnt picking up my pen sensitivity? I've got that annoying little ! symbol next to the pen pressure word. Ive reinstalled the drivers and know it worked before this is just a new tablet to replace the old one, but exactly the same table itself!
Thanks

I'm really sorry but I'm afraid I'm not sure what to do! Dx The most I've ever had to do is reinstall the drivers, but usually it's just a case of unplugging the tablet and restarting Photoshop. ;__;
Does your tablet have a help website or email?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha thanks anyway, I cannot understand it I had the same tablet before and it picked up fine! Although I seem to remember having the same problem with that one when I first got it too so will just keep trying with the driver etc I think

I really hate it when the website doesn't work! D:
Good luck, though! I'm sorry I couldn't help at all! ;__;

Haha thankyou for making the tutorial in the first place, I completely forgot where to even start in getting the brush right again!

I've got the same problem as ~Nuprotejus D:
Even though I have my tablet (WACOM Graphire3 Classic (CTE-430/B0)) in my computer, it still stays in this position. Heres a print screen:

I hope you can help me, I searched for the description about my tablet but it says it is pressure sensitive.. should I buy a new tablet or do you know how to work this out?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Graphire is a pressure sensitive tablet as far as I know so I don't think the tablet is the problem. 
Once I had this problem, so I reinstalled the driver software and everything worked as normal afterwards. Have you tried this yet? >A<;;
I'm afraid I'm no expert, but I'll try and help as best I can!
(By the way, that picture is so cute!! *A*)

Thank you so much :'D Lol, it was my own fault since I didn't install the driver on the right place of my computer
So now I'm able to draw with pressure sensitive, YAY 
(thank you for the compliment *w*, I'm line-arting and colouring her right now

how big is your canvas size?? like is it inches? pixles? wut?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm more farmiliar with pixels, and it really depends on the picture for the size itself. I usually choose a size for the final picture and sketch it out. Then I increase the size by 400% and do all the lineart and colouring and stuff so that it looks neat when I make it small again. ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
wow... how long does it usually take?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Linearting can take up to 3-4 hours, depending on how I'm feeling XD (If I'm feeling patient, I do it as neatly as possible so it takes ages. If I'm not, it usually takes 1-2 hours. x33) Colouring takes much longer XD That also depends on how much effort I put in, how neat I want it to be and stuff. :3

Is it a Wacom tablet you have? *was sure you said it was* Gah...it should be working.
Unless you have the tablet in mouse mode, in which case it won't. (Gah! Forgot to mention that! *smacks forehead*) There should be an icon on your desktop for your tablet properties (If this is a Wacom...XD Not sure about others
If it's already on tablet mode, try clicking the button on there that says 'reset' (Not sure if it says that exactly. I'm on the PC so I'm doing this from memory xDD;; )
That's all I can think of for your tablet problem at the moment...(the reset usually works for me). And as for payback, really, don't worry about it! I just want to help out!
