OK, I'm stuck. I'm using Adobe Photoshop 7.0 and a Wacom Tablet. There is supposed to be an option that will allow me to use pressure sensitivity, but I can't find it. The second problem I have is installing custom brushes - can anyone help. Many Thanks.

I have Elements 2, derived from PS7, so i'll try to help. On the top bar, to the far right, there is an Icon with more options written under it, if you click that, at the very bottom is a checkbox that says tablet support. For installing brushes, the path on my mac is Photoshop folder>Presets folder> Brushes folder. Just drop them in there, and restart, it should load them when it launches.

About pressure sensitivity in PS 7: In the Brushes Palette you find several "Dynamics" options that support pressure sensitivity. The settings are tied to the preset brushes for the different tools and may be customized. - Bjorn

Dannii, the option is located in the "brush" palette. i guess the one thing that seems confusing with PS7 is that the settings don't appear unless you click on the words themselves. If you just check the "check-box" (1) you use the settings that are already in place. If you select the words (2) and thus hightlight the control, you can adjust the settings to your satisfaction.

As for custom brushes, you can load them by clicking the little arrow at the upper right of the "brush" palette (3) and selecting LOAD BRUSHES...

to make it easier make sure your brushes (.abr) are placed in the PRESET --> BRUSHES directory.

let us know if this helps,
:)

I'm at work at the moment, but the comments make sense. Thanks everyone. Will let you know if this solves my problem.
