Title: Graphire 3 setup
Post by: situgrrl on December 23, 2005, 04:48:40 pm

I'm trying to use a wacom graphire 3 but it seems to be a little crazy...everytime I hold pressure on the pen as if I'm dragging, painting, writing, a yellow lined box pops up that "ink" then falls onto.  When pressure is released, the box disappears.  This happens either in finder or photoshop or any other app.  

I'm using OS X.3 on a G4 (not very)power mac.  This reminds me of windows though!

Thanks

Can't help you -- my Graph-3 installed by itself and works perfectly on my (windows) PC...

Not sure I completely understand you, but a couple of things:

Make sure you have the latest tablet drivers from the Wacom site.

Make sure that your mac's handwriting recognition is turned off (under System Preferences | Ink).

I use an Intuos 2 under 10.4.x on a dual G4 (under)PowerMac.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

Hi,
I have no tablet here to test but from your description you activated the InkWell (handwriting recognition) feature of Mac OS X.  You can learn about Inkwell [a href=\"http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/inkwell/]here[/url].

I would go into the System Preferences (under the Apple menu) and see if there's an InkWell pref pane. If you find it, you can probably disable handwriting recognition.

Glad to see that your issue is solved...

 Mike also suggested the correct fix. I didn't read his entire post before posting.
