I purchased a gateway M275 a couple weeks ago and so far have been very impressed with it as a productivity tool.

I have been disappointed with problems that i am having with Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. The pressure sensitivity options in both programs are not available!!! Does anyone know what gives?

Perhaps there is a third party driver that will jumpstart my setup. My father had purchased the same tablet a number of months ago, and ran into the same problem with Corel Draw.

Has anyone else had success with pressure sensitive brushes/pens in illustrator, photoshop, or CorelDraw?

thanks for your time!

If you wish to have pressure sensitivity in the adobe applications, you need to download the Wacom penenabled driver from their support site:

Worked Like a Charm.

Thanks a million!

Here's another one for anyone out there:

I have read through some of the posts on this site. Seems like the tablets work by way of a "digitizer" that is behind the LCD. What is a digitizer? Is this the device that has varying levels of pressure sensitivity? How does the pen work on my M275? Doesn't seem like there is a battery in there...

This one is no ruch and not too important.
