This is just a helpful heads up for anyone who works with Photoshop.
There's this annoying bug in Windows Wacom drivers with PS that runs into "shoelace" ends. You can read all about it by just googling Wacom shoelace bug. or watch this www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBcSIh… or www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6QcVh…
Wacom has known about the issue for YEARS and does nothing about it, its still present in Intuos3-4 and the current Intuos5 so don't think it will fix itself just by upgrading your tablet or updating your drivers it's always there! Updating to a new version to Photoshop doesnt help either, it's not present in super old versions like 7.0 but pretty much anything in the CS line has it, I think even CC has it as well.
There's always been a sort of push that Macs are better for art than Windows, most of them are superficial and I disagree with but there is ONE major difference. The Macs do not have this bug present and people have pushed Wacom to change it but it always falls on deaf ears it seems. People have either given up and lived with it or moved to a different program to do line work like Sai, Painter or Sketchbook Pro.
Well... now there's an indie coder that has come along and solved this issue at last. GuillaumeStordeur has taken the things people loved about the smoothing of Sai and Sketchbook Pro/Zbrush's "Lazy Mouse" mode. It's called lazynezumi.com/
This tiny program launches with photoshop so you dont need to waste time to open it separately which is great! But the main draw of the program is that it will overwrite photoshops settings. This is essential for killing off the shoelace bug that's been crawling around in photoshops code for ages. All I need to do is use the preset "Pressure Gain" and the bug is gone! Amazing. LNP is fully customizable so you can mess with the settings or create your own presets. I have it set up to turn on and off through a keyboard shortcut so I don't need to fiddle around with juggling multiple windows open.
As a PS user, Lazy Nezumi Pro is well worth the price for just getting rid of the dreadful shoelace bug. I thought I was stuck with that for life!

Incoming Backlog! and making simple CS6 plugins
For a while I thought about leaving sketches and unfinished work off my DA but decided that I would instead post a bunch of it anyways. People can enjoy the old sketches for what they are, and see my stuff in super rough state, but also by posting these publicly means I can't just hide it. I may actually finish some (especially if people want to see a sketch taken to finish. just speak up! It might give me enough of a motivational kick.
Unrelated to art I've spent a weekend trialing out some photoshop plugins I made.
It's clear to many artists that Adobe just doesn't give a damn about us, and they just put all their focus into making the gr
Shaking off an illness
I don't often get sick but when I do, it's an ordeal.
My grandfather died about a month ago and I've been sick ever since. A whole lot of the family got sick from the same sort of thing with all the exchanging hands and standing around in the chilly air. I honestly think we got it from one of the people hosting the funeral but that's all unimportant now. My uncle got antibiotics for bronchitis but I've been through the ringer with just trying to get over it. The worst part about it is how it just never seems to go away fully, when there's days I feel like it's passed it just sticks around even longer. What started as soreness and a cloudy he
Solving Adobe's dumb decisions with Undo.
Hey Photoshop users out there!
This issue became so annoying that I decided to force a fix... using the power of the internet!
Remember the atrocious ? Well you can get out of this Hell too!
WHY ADOBE, WHY??
Whenever you use step-backward or undo once, if you changed layers as well then it will go back on editing the layer before.
I've known about this little headache for quite a while, as I'm sure that everyone who uses Photoshop would run into it. For the most part I was tolerant of it but that quickly changed into table-flipping when working on a new piece. For some unknown reason that no one can answer this terrible Undo function wa

Thanks for posting this! 
To make things clear, the shoelace bug is 100% caused by Photoshop (at least in Windows, I haven't tried the Mac version).
I use other painting software with the exact same tablet and driver settings and don't experience it.
Lazy Nezumi Pro helps by smoothing out the position and pressure information of your lines. Let me know if you have any questions about it.
Also, this weekend it's on sale for 25% off!
