My brother loaned me a Wacom Graphire 2 to see if I would enjoy working with it before I actually bought one. I installed the drivers from their Website (he couldn't find the CD) and it does seem to be working. I can use the brush and mouse fine, but the brushes don't seem to be responding to the pressure I apply. Naturally, I'd like the strokes to get thicker as I applied more pressure, but that's not happening. The strokes just stay the same width no matter what I do.

I've looked through the Photoshop documentation and can't really see how it's done.

Any help? Oh, and I'm still using Photoshop 7.

On the menu bar their is a toggle (little icon/box) that shows all the brush pallet options, open it (double click) then click (check the box) on "OTHER DYNAMICS" and you can set presure sensetivity. That SHOULD do it.

Oh ya... you have to be using a brush at the time or the pallet option icon wont show on the menu bar!

THANK YOU! Your advice led me to the solution. I was just selecting the wrong brushes. I've got it working now and am looking forward to giving this "brush stuff" a shot in my upcoming projects.
