Pressure Sensitivity does not work on Photoshop CS6

Post by seven11 »

Hello! I really need help with the pressure sensitivity on photoshop. I downloaded it with wine and everything works fine, except for the pressure sensitivity. I have a wacom bamboo tablet, and the pressure works fine on everything else like Gimp, but I really need photoshop. I don't get along with Gimp too well :(

Please help! I'm farely new to ubuntu.

Known bug: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23947.

The bug report says pressure sensitivity does work with CS2.

Do you have the MS core fonts installed, either with winetricks or systemwide? If not, install them; CS2 will crash without them.

If you're not using the latest development release of Wine, upgrade.

If neither of those things fix it, post terminal output. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log

If you haven't already installed winetricks, do so. (I think Ubuntu packages it; if not, download it manually from http://winetricks.org/winetricks and save it to you home directory.) Then open a terminal and type

Code: Select all

sh winetricks corefonts

When I type it into terminal it says sh: 0: Can't open winetricks

I'm sure I have WInetricks installed

If you have it installed in /usr/bin and it has the "execute" permissions then you should be able to just run

Code: Select all

$> winetricks corefonts
If not, then first cd into the folder where you downloaded the winetricks.sh script and then runt:

Code: Select all

$> sh winetricks corefonts
