I have a new Graphire 6×8 tablet and am unable to draw a "same width" straight line.

In Photoshop with a mouse if you click with say your paintbrush tool, then hold the Shift key and click anywhere else on the page it’ll draw a "same width" straight line to the second point.

With the Graphire tablet and pen I click, hold Shift, then click elsewhere it’ll draw a straight line but the width goes from the original size to a very small size, making a elongated cone shape.

Would anyone here familiar with the Graphire know if there is a way to just draw a "same width" straight line with the paintbrush tool? If I could take off the setting of the pen being pressure sensitive I think that work but I’m not sure how, if possible, how to do that.

Mac OS X 10.4.8
Photoshop CS2
Graphire 6×8

Thanks!

Pick a brush without a pressure function or turn off the pressure on the brush you’re using.

Turn off ALL brush options for the Brush Tip shape you’re using.

You can also adjust your prefs in the system prefs>tablet area. Nice thing about this is you can do it for specific behavior with specific apps

Good luck!
