You can get the results that you are describing if you are using a Soft brush with "Full-size Brush Tip" and with "Airbrush" selected in the Options Bar.

Have you tried resetting the painting tools, or the preferences?

Thanks Ann,

I don't have airbrush selected and I am using 100% hardness.

I did reset the painting tools and the preferences.

I think I'll record a screen video of this later so folks can see exactly what is happening.

Which mouse or Wacom tablet/Stylus are you using?

And have you checked for the most recent Driver from the manufacturer?

Try resetting those prefs. too.

On my Desktop (8-core 3Ghz) I'm using a Wacom Intuos II with current drivers.

A quick check reveals that I'm also having the same issue on my Macbook Pro with no tablet attached.

I just put up a video showing settings, hardness and such for folks who like screen shots to verify settings.

It is still converting, but should be ready to view any minute:

Jim:

I don't know why your brushes don't work but I have just made a new Copyright Brush (from type originally set at 185 pixels) and when I use it, it fits the Brush curser exactly — whether it's set in the brushes palette at 185 or at any other scaling.

Perhaps you should try to recreate your brushes?

Paul,

This is a great opportunity. Take Chris up on his offer and then let us know the outcome.

Corrupt ACR Plug-in maybe?

Try re-installing it and trashing "Adobe Camera Raw 5.0 Prefs" perhaps?

Also try the "Duplicate thumbnails and then trash originals" trick.

I'll try the trash ACR prefs have not done that although it works just fine in Photoshop.

Have you downloaded and installed the latest Wacom driver?

I also suggest that you run Cocktail to clean out caches etc..

I notice in CS4, that in the Performance Preference, Photoshop is giving me an option to use my 2 external drives as scratch disks. Is it now okay to do this? If not, what happens if you do?

Thanks!

PS always has allowed that. Primary scratch should be a fast drive physically different than the OS/apps drive, ideally a fast internal drive. If an external use the fastest drive and connectivity you have available: eSATA best, FW800 second choice, FW400 third choice; avoid USB.

It has always been OK its just that an external drive is not as fast as an internal drive but if you only have one internal (system drive) the you need an external scratch.

avoid USB

As a sidebar, some folks may not realize that USB2 -- despite its specs to the contrary -- is slower than FW400 due to its greater overhead. And generally speaking, if you wish to have an external drive that is bootable (a useful option should your internal startup drive bite the Big One), you need FW400. In the long run, any saving from purchasing a USB2-only drive is not worth it.

So, yes, avoid USB.

Thank you! I'm interested to hear if you find anything of note.

GIMP just rasterized the whole thing to 1200ppi (60,000 x 60,000) in about five hours, with "high" antialiasing. Photoshop wouldn't even attempt to open it at that size, so this is good for me, but the best thing is that I got to keep working in Photoshop the whole time. Now *that* is making use of multiple processors! :)
