Jagged lines when drawing with graphic tablets

Locked

Tags: Windows

Hello! Long story short, I was doodling on my drawing monitor, everything was fine, went to play some game, watched some utube, came back, and this started happening (100% scale ofc).

The cursor should follow the pen smoothly, instead it jumps to the sides from time to time, which is why the lines end up jagged.
Drivers are working fine, pen pressure works, I didn’t install anything new, and it is happenning on both my drawing monitor and a drawing tablet (the gray and brown lines are done on different tablets + test from a driver app so it’s not just a drawing program either) So idek what to look for? USB drivers? Some program interfering? Maybe someone seen this happen before and knows exactly why?

Jagged lines issue

In reply to Jagged lines when drawing with graphic tablets

When drawing in Photoshop CS5 or Artrage I get these extremely jagged lines, especially when zoomed out. Below is an example at different zoom levels in artrage, its even worse in photoshop.
I’ve tried a couple of different drivers, the latest 702, 701, some asian drivers. In each case, if the pressure sensitivity works then I get these jagged lines, if I don’t get the jagged lines the sensitivity doesn’t work.
I don’t know if its an issue with the hardware itself or the drivers. I’ve read of some cases with different wacom products, cintiqs and intuos where people randomly had the same issues When drawing in Photoshop CS5 or Artrage I get these extremely jagged lines, especially when zoomed out. Below is an example at different zoom levels in artrage, its even worse in photoshop https://tellthebell.us.

Which image format are you having this displayed in?

If it’s JPEG this will happen so if that is the case try switching to one of the other file types which doesn’t produce zig zag lines along edges that are on an angle.
