haha! holy crap i have no brain! i had no idea there was a "smoothing" feature. I've always thought that my computer just wasn't good enough to process those quick strokes. what a difference now! thanks for bringing that to my attention :)

There's a smoothing feature!? Where?!

jeph:
Guys, Photoshop's "smoothing" feature does absolutely nothing to smooth lines with a Wacom. It's all about brush control. Quick, sure strokes will always look better than slow, laborious ones. You just have to practice over and over and over until you get comfortable enough to do things in quick little jabs without it looking bad. If you want a program to automatically fix your linework for you, get Flash or Illustrator.

Proof that "smoothing" doesn't really do anything noticeable:

blackmage:
The trick I use is quite simple. I draw big,  and then zoom in 300% on top of that. It gives you far better control over your linework.

Of course, it only really works if you're going over a quick sketch underneath.

that's not true, at least not for me. before i enabled smoothing i wasn't able to get smooth lines with quick strokes, i had to move slowly, at least slowly in comparison to how i can move now. here is an example of what smoothing does for me:



without smoothing, i can't make smooth curves with quick strokes, as you can see. it's as if the line can't keep up with the motion.

in photoshop 7.0 i find it in the right top corner click on "brushes" and you should see it there in a checklist kind of thing.
