First of all, make sure you open Photoshop using the tablet's pen itself, NOT the mouse. Then double check that you have Pen Pressure ticked in the brush setup panel. Refer back to this tutorial for further help

So moral of the story, start CS4 w/ your tablet and pen and DO NOT!!!! move your mouse for ANY reason unless you feel like restarting CS4. This is a huge issue for me as i usually do several things even while drawing. It seems like such a simple fix, i mean if Photoshop is having issues "remembering" the settings for a device, that would imply it knows them at some point and can identify that single device and associate those settings with it no? Why not then SAVE them even in memory, then when i draw with the mouse it can say, "Oh he's using the mouse, load those settings!" Then when i go back to my stylus, "Oh he's using the stylus load those fantastic pressure sensitivity settings" seems rather intuitive and quite possibly incredibly simple to me. Plus it would be completely transparent to the user which is always great when things magically "just work."

Your mom told you??? I don't really celebrate the day, especially as my hair has gotten grayer and my step slower. But thanks, cutie!

Haha. Yeah, she told me. She wanted to go see you but we had only one car and she didn't want to use my gas. And I think I needed it for something. I'm not sure. I have bad memory.

I talked with your mom briefly today about a teaching job. Hope she has good luck. Almost as important she told me you were not feeling well. I hope it's passed by the time you look back in here and you are bright eyed and smiling again.
