Good evening. English is not my native language so i apologize for every possible mistake :D
when i use the pen in photoshop i sometimes want to use the command "simulate pression" before the line is made. BUT when i do it the pression is simulated everytime in the same way. starts light, in the center of the line becomes bold then at the end light again. So i ask: is there a way to control the pressure of the line?
 
Hello Brisby and welcome to PSG.
I'm not sure I understand your question but I will try to cover a few of the available brush/pen control options.

Every aspect of brush control can be managed with the Brushes Panel. Each section provides a control option where the Pen's performance can be adjusted.

There are toggles on the tools option bar that allow you to control how the brush behaves.

The Tablet itself also comes with an app that allows you to adjust the settings.

If I have not answered you question, then you will need to be more specific.

Sorry, i was not talking about the pen from a wacom tablet. I was talking about the "pen tool"can-stock-photo_csp9421004.jpg of photoshop. everytime i use "simulate pressure" the line is drawed like this Cattura9.png
and i want to control the pressure, make the line bigger at the end and thin at the beginning, for example.
 
Yes............That is supposed to happen when you use "simulate pressure".

Here's one way to fix the problem...........

Just turn off (uncheck/untick) Simulate Pressure when you make a stroke.

Here's the other way to fix the problem.

Turn off shape dynamics

or

Turn off Pen Pressure under the Control menu.

Before.... Shape Dynamics on and Pen Pressure on (Control Menu)

After.... Shape Dynamics off and Pen Pressure off (Control Menu)
