I was having problems using the Polygonal Lasso Tool with the Wacom Bamboo pen. Initially I thought it was because the pen tip was wearing out. I switched it (in the photo, the one on the right is the old one), but it's still not working correctly. I'm starting to think it's the tablet and... Continue Reading →
