I've been an artist for 15 years and I have essential tremors (constant shaking hands) and this is a godsend for my digital work. I still practice on physical medium so my muscle memory gets finer tuned, but things like very light strokes were near impossible for me an very embarrassing in art school.

[@Cyanwow]

same, but i have adhd and my medication makes me a bit more relaxed but i get energy and it cant like get out so i shake always and idk if i have that thing u have but i know my mum does so i think theres a chance i have it and i also always shake on paper this isnt that much of a problem but digital it is my lines just go to left right all over

Thank you!!! :)

thank you so much

thank you!

[@endanarchy]

Your explanation of how friction produces stabilisation and the sensory technology of the hardware make cause wobbly lines was such invaluable insight. I'm a person who likes to understand a problem and how a solution fixes that. Thank you.

[@thefooltouchstone3569]

you need to mention the "smoothing" tick box needs to be checked in the brush settings for this to work. thanks, great vid!

[@tatianaweathers3270]

Thank you

[@Danni24]

Thank you haahah i was looking for this !!!

[@Gilary-hy8vw]

hey can you help me on where to find it? I mean, recently my Photoshop got unconfigured, and I can't activate the stabilizer / smoothing, you say I have to activate it in the brush settings? where exactly? and sorry if it bothers you, i really need help with this 🥺

[@slimyfurby]

I can't find the smoothing option on mine...

[@chickennuggcorgi]

Well done tutorial, and thank you! I'm glad Photoshop added this feature, as it makes someone like me who has a very "sketchy" style able to make digital art that looks crisp and clean, without the need of third-party softwares.

[@GraveUypo]

oh. finally. i've literally been waiting for this feature for 13 years.

[@RealPaPanda]

Has nothing to do with the comment but great taste in video games B)

[@SiriusTexra]

Flash Pro (Now Animate) has had this for years. It's always been my go to for illustration because of that.

[@RomboutVersluijs]

The catchup to end works fine with tablet, if you turn of pressure it will do same as with mouse. Quite handy actually. Really a nice feature this Smoothing, i wished the following mouse had a cursor as well. Now you sort of need to watch 2 things at once

[@lindseynicole5897]

I have been using photoshop for a while now but never knew about this feature! I’ve been struggling with creating smoother lines when drawing and was wondering if there was a way to make it easier and this might just be the feature for me! Thank you so much for this video, it was very informative :)

[@OCaraDoidao]

Im trying a enable the smoothing feature, but I can't see the cogwheel... How do I do it?

[@darkenfell39]

Hasn't sketchbook pro had this for years. God, I miss Sketchbook sometimes, loved the colour puck feature

[@drawzTV]

Dude, thank you! You saved me so many hours

[@veddygud1775]

For some reason I can't edit the smoothing. There's no number in the box next to smoothing, and when I click on it, nothing shows up, so I can't change it. Any help?

[@reggy991]

same with me

[@CurioCobalt]

@@reggy991 Hey I was having the same problem. You just go to 'brush settings' and make sure smoothing is ticked. Hope that helps

[@reggy991]

Great tutorial Aaron. Thanks. This also works great for brushing more accurate selections using Quick Mask.

[@cmykc.studio]

So rad! Thanks man, I was just going to buy Lazy Nezumi, I had no idea this was apart of photoshop. Woot woot smooth lines :D

[@loolydesign5504]

thank you Aaron for being fast with the update, helped a lot

This was perfectly concise and easy to follow, exactly what I was looking for thank you

Before 2018: Paint Tool SAI > Photoshop Now: Photoshop > Everything Else

[@feardieshogun8153]

BungyStudios for what ?

[@Bangy]

Feardie Shogun Brush stabilizer

[@loriennasarre]

This is definitely what I thought. Photoshop was my favorite tool but it was always missing this feature. Now that it has it, there is no way any other software will beat this.

[@preddyshite6342]

Paint Tool SAI still has a better brush engine and paint engine, also the line stabilizer is still better. PLUS editable vector lines. Photoshop is a good all around graphics tool, but for digital art, it's probably the worst.

[@RecklessAbandonGaming]

@@preddyshite6342 Not only is Paint Tool SAI better, but Clip Studio Paint is even better. that means Photoshop is worse than two superior programs yet beginner artists still use it lolz

[@pieegee8532]

Thanks its very helpful it help a lot if you have shaky hands like me

[@suttonsuede]

The Ketchup mode is great 😄

[@vagabundodevaughn1287]

I need to get this upgraded version of photoshop. My lines look horrid.

[@AeBlues]

Thank you for this concise tutorial Aaron.

[@midrive1927]

Ok, I think there's so many apps in markets, that You can use as a resource for Photoshop. I only sketch in Procreate right now, you can get that smooth with no lags and i can export to photoshop for finish or not.

[@leminh8641]

Sketchbook pro's predictive stroke function is very good. Unfortunately photoshop does not have this function

[@santostory]

Brilliant tutorial! Thanks you so much!

[@lizbeth2792]

Will you be able to please tell me how you open Photoshop cc 2018 and begin the selections and layers before you begin drawing? Could you please do a tutorial on that for those who have not used Photoshop before but really draw using paper n pencil n now want to try digital art?

I didn't think you were that into Photoshop, I thought you were only a Painter master. Why exactly would you choose Painter over PS when you want to do a piece of your artwork? Thanks

[@tuannafiz3647]

Is this also a feature on Photoshop CS6?

hello, i cannot see the slider thing with "smoothing" on it, i probably missed some step but i couldn't find it in the video, can anybody help?

[@ChrisLupetti]

Thank you for a helpful video.

[@dredhead7]

I use Lazy Nezumi pro For Photoshop And Painter 2018, but this is cool because Lazy Nezumi make you pay for updates.

[@theKamih]

You get a year of free updates, and can renew whenever you want after that, with a 60% discount.

[@whatevernamegoeshere3644]

I wish lazy nezumi had opt-ins so you could get less functions for less money tbh. Just the rope tool is enough for me and I don't use the rest but it's still 20 bucks or so even tho the rest is just catching dust there

[@camellia3698]

Is that stabilizer menu available in ps cs3?

[@radkesrealm]

how do i get the smoothing option? its not there for me.

[@Alvin_est]

How to turn on the stabilizer button in Photoshop .. please tell me

[@SaeSawanoguchi]

Is there a way to do this without the delay on Photoshop? Just like in Procreate app... It does have stabilizer but with no delay. I use it on Procreate on iPad and it feels more natural. Once I came back to Photoshop it felt so weird o.O... I'm currently looking for alternatives lol 😂

thanx man !

[@BaSickFirst]

Is this only works for photoshop CC ? not available for cs6?

Photoshop CC 2018 only. You can get a plug in called Lazy Nezumi for older versions.

free plugin?
