Windows 10 is a new generation of operating systems hallmark which is the ability to fully customize all settings, desktop, applications and functions for themselves.
If you are a retoucher Windows usage as an operating system, you may have experienced a few problems in the past, or maybe you just gave up and got used to them so much that you almost don't notice anymore.
Most of the trouble started with Windows 8 when Microsoft changed the APIs, more importantly how the touch interface natively interacted with the operating system. Good news is that Microsoft supports the touch recognition feature and they are concentrating their platforms to be smaller and smaller depends on hardware. With windows 10 and surface devices we will now find that Microsoft is closing the rattle between desktop and mobile devices running the same operating system.
You may ask, OK, what is the problem here?
Well... the touch functionality was something we could turn off in the past. There is no such possibility anymore. Therefore your Operating system will think that your Wacom is touch screen and wait a few milliseconds to see if there will be double or multi finger taps inputs. You can imagine the result of lag or communication delay.
In the past, you would have been able to change your Wacom driver and settings by simply turning off Windows Ink, and telling your system not to use the built-in Windows support touch, but rather Wacom engine.
Things were running smoothly in photoshop, the place where we need precision until adobe decided to stop Flash support based software and focus your resources on HTML.
This software change resulted in several other problems. For example, when you're not using Windows ink, Photoshop (and to this day: CC2015) doesn't recognize its pen and you can't use pen pressure. Unfortunately, even with Windows inking turned on, the user experience on a tablet looks bleak. The response from the cursor will often lag, sometimes even jump when trying to make precise movements. Or worse, when you click and drag there can be delays that can cause a large number of unwanted disappointments.
Luckily, there are ways to get the pen pressure back into Photoshop and tablet control as smoothly as possible. And it can all be achieved without switching to far improved hardware and software devices Apple
By default, in the usual way configured Windows 7 Ultimate, after installing the Wacom tablet drivers (and any other tablet, as I understand it), the built-in tablet PC services(Tablet PC Components) and related settings. A lot of functions are added - both handwriting text input, and an on-screen keyboard hiding on the side, and graphic additions for tracking the cursor. This wealth is intended not so much for graphic tablets, but for the so-called tablet PCs with touch screen.
For example, when you long press the pen on the surface of the tablet, a circle is smoothly drawn around the cursor, and then a menu appears, available by right-clicking the mouse. With a short press, a kind of "circles on the water" scatter from the cursor to the sides.
On the tablet computer this is useful: firstly, you can see where you clicked, and secondly, if you use a regular stylus with a touchscreen (resistive touch screen) that is not equipped with buttons, it is easy to carry out all the basic actions with both the left and right mouse buttons, without pressing additional buttons .
But, in the case of graphics tablet connected to regular computer all this terribly interferes with work - in Photoshop, all these animated circles are just harmful. Unfortunately, in default settings On Wacom tablets, these features are not regulated, and you can blow your mind trying to figure out how to get rid of the added features without asking.
So, how to remove the circles around the cursor and the rest:
1. To simply remove the circle that occurs when you long press (disable click firing on right button mice), you need:
Control Panel -> Pen and Touch -> in the Pen Options tab disable Press and hold for right-clicking.
2. So that there are no "circles on the water" around the cursor when you click, you need to make settings through the Local Group Policy Editor. To do this, open the Run menu (Windows + R), enter gpedit.msc and press enter. The same editor is launched. In him:
-> User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Tablet PC -> Cursors
Here you need double click open turn off pen feedback and set it to enabled status. After closing the Local Group Policy Editor window, the circles around the cursor will disappear. They may then come back after installing some update that resets the settings, but just the same, it will be enough to go in and turn off these options.
Somewhere on the Internet you can find advice to uninstall Tablet PC Components. As practice shows, this only helps to remove on-screen keyboard and handwriting. Done through Control Panel -> Programs and features -> Turn Windows features on or off.
Can you suggest an easier way to do this?
