Anyone have the Wacom drivers working with Photoshop?

[gpvillamil]

I can't seem to get Photoshop CS3 to work with pressure sensitivity on my X61t, under Windows XP Tablet 2005.

Out of the box, touch panel and pen work fine. Ink Art and Journal respond correctly to pressure.

Installing the Wacom Penabled drivers (v5.03) has a weird effect - it disables the pen, though the touch panel is working. Naturally, Photoshop doesn't see any pressure information.

Removing the Wacom drivers and installing the drivers from the Lenovo site restores normal pen and touch functions - however, PS does not see the pressure info (though Ink Art and Journal do).

Any ideas? Has anyone got Photoshop CS3 responding to pressure on an X61t?

I have no problems with the Wacom drivers. Don't use Photoshop though. But unless you use the Wacom driver, it take no wonders that pressure sensitivity doesn't work. I suggest reinstalling Wacom drivers and try again.

Ok, I updated the Lenovo Multitouch drivers (pen and touch panel), and reinstalled the Wacom drivers.

Now the pen works, and the touch panel works. Photoshop is pressure sensitive. (However, it doesn't recognize the eraser.)

The one weird thing that is bothering me is that during calibration, the pen is not recognized. The calibration screen comes up fine, but it does not respond to pen input at all. It will respond to touch panel input instead. This is from the Pen and Tablet settings Control Panel applet, not the Touch Panel applet. It does the same thing from the Wacom settings program in the Start menu - pen calibration screen responds to touch panel, not pen. So right now I have no way of calibrating the pen.

OK, I give up.

Once again, pen support disappeared. I removed all drivers, and reinstalled just the Lenovo drivers.

Now pen and touch panel works, but with no pressure sensing in Photoshop. (Ink Art, Journal, OneNote all work fine, including pressure sensing.)

The pen is perfectly calibrated in portrait and landscape mode. The touch panel is calibrated in landscape mode, but wildly off in portrait mode (even after recalibrating).

Installing the Vista drivers (as suggested in another post) just led to the weird behavior where touch panel and pen were detected simultaneously.

Makes me think that perhaps all this weirdness is due to some sporadic hardware problem. Maybe I should just RMA the machine and hope for better luck with another copy?

HW fault is possible, but very unlikely.
Probably your drivers just messed up.
I would suggest to go into Device Manager and uninstall all HID and Wacom related. Vista will auto-reinstall these things - and hopefully gets it corrected then. If everything works correctly, then download and install the newest Wacom driver to get pressure sensitivity.

I have the exact same problems...

I have been through every possible step and still cant use my X61T the way I hoped Through I have managed a stalemate where I seem to be able to use the pressure sensitivity and the touch panel, but if I calibrate the pressure sensitivity or the touch panel, nothing doing... it screws everything up!

not sure what else to add, except my configurations:

X61T 7764 CTO
1 Gb Ram
Windows Xp Tablet 2005

It looks like we have the same config...

Once again - any one really have pressure sensitivity working *in Photoshop* with the Wacom drivers on the X61T? On Windows XP Tablet 2005?

Well... I have repeatedly re-installed the OS and drivers and updates... I am considering RMA my machine, but have to wait until the end of the semester (still have work due for school)...

I am curious though, as most people who have purchased the MV/MT x61t seem to have no problems, is there just a small percentage of us with crappy hardware?

Additionally, I have disabled my biometrics, as the reader seems to disconnect and reconnect randomly... F@%K

would be interested to see a poll of people with this machine, as to what percentage have had HW issues...

[gpvillamil]

Well, the machine is working reliably for me (except for losing pen functionality every couple of weeks, fixed with reboot), but without the Wacom driver (and hence no pressure sensing in Photoshop).

Apparently, there is something weird about how the touch panel driver interacts with the pen driver, it seems to interfere with a couple of other programs. They're working on it, but this really needs to escalate to Lenovo and Wacom.

When I use Photoshop, it said my monitor is defective (X61 T)??? I just ignore it, it seems to be working without pen and touch.

I'm having the same problem with my x60t, and have really just given up on having sensitivity with both inking and art programs. I'll probably call tech support and see what they have to say about it. I know 3 other people with x61t's, and they don't have this problem at all. Perhaps it is hardware?

I reinstalled Vista, and now the drivers work correctly. Seems like kind of a big hassle to fix this, but it has in the wake of everything else not working.

Hope this helps!

Can you confirm that:

1) You have pressure sensing *in Photoshop* and that both pen *and* touch panel are working?

and

2) You know other people in this situation? (ie Wacom driver is working, pen is working *and* touch panel is working)
