LazyNezumi

LazyNezumi

Back in 2009, Bal (1286 hits) asked me if I could write a program that would allow him to smooth his mouse movements when drawing.

The reference he had in mind was ZBrush’s LazyMouse (3071 hits) feature.

My program is called LazyNezumi, and while it doesn’t behave exactly the same way as LazyMouse, I think it’s pretty close. It binds itself to windows of desired drawing applications, and modifies the mouse/pen cursor position when it is enabled. This allows fun things like cursor movement smoothing, lagged drawing, and random noise.

Instructions and other info are in the included README.txt (3234 hits) file.

A list of major changes for each version is included in the CHANGELOG.txt (882 hits) file.

Download

Download the most recent version here:
LazyNezumi 10.3.3 (18207 hits)

And here is the most recent version of the apps.ini file (if you added entries yourself, make sure you keep those entries and add them to the new version):
apps.ini 12.3.2 (7084 hits)

If you downloaded this from somewhere else and would like to test the authenticity, here are the MD5 checksums for version 10.3.3:

lazyNezumi.exe: 2af633748142e0c0c7d43be061406dcd
mouseHook.dll: d1a65b36d5ade1bb907737aaa20826a3
mouseHook64.dll: fc57a719968522472990e6620dd62d42

Tutorial

Here’s a very cool tutorial (2100 hits) by ImACello.

Known Issues

LazyNezumi works with many apps out of the box, and the included apps.ini file contains settings that allow you to add support for other apps (please send me any new entries that work for you).

    Fantastic Idea. Tho, I feel very lucky it doesn’t support Intuos 2 >.<
    Pretty please can you add support for it?
    Thanks.

    Works with Photoshop CS4 & Wacom Graphire 4 Classic,
    but it wont stay on top of Photoshop. :/

    Still its an awesome app, thanks. :)

    Poopascoop:
    The 2009.08.16 version now supports all Wacom tablets, give it a try!

    Felix:
    Hmm that’s strange, the StayOnTop feature works fine for me.
    What version of Windows are you using LazyNezumi with?
    Oh and by the way, did you know you can toggle the enable button with Ctrl-F2? That way you don’t have to go to the LazyNezumi window every time.

    Hello, I found a copy of your first version, http://born-robotic.net/stuff/lazyNezumi.zip
    and this is the only version that works on my computer ? how strange, ive tried the latest as well as 08-16 version, but none of them work in my mspaint program. Im not using more than one at a time, mspaint is not hooked prior to using the latest version, so you can rule out that.

    Any help why the new versions dont work on my XP sp2?

    I dont know for sure but it looks like its not comparing the string correctly,
    maybe its comparing ansii and unicode?

    tried it with tvpaint (www.tvpaint.com) and it seems to attach to the application window ok.

    problem is it draws lazy with the mouse but not with the wacom tablet where the line and the circle delay is still dynamic and displays, but the drawn line itself still appears at the cursor.

    For some time now I’ve hoped that some lazy mouse option would be implemented in TVPaint.

    Sorry yours doesn’t work with the tablet :( but thank you for sharing your efforts.

    Very nice little app. I love the lazy mouse in ZBrush and this is a cool little app/tool to have for Photoshop. It really helps when making large gestural stokes! :)

    New version (8.29) supports TVPaint! Check it out and let me know.
    There are some problems with guide-line rendering (like in most other apps), but the basic LazyNezumi features work great.

  15. comment said,

    August 29, 2009 at 2:59 pm

    Kamih,

    I tested the new version and it works well now with the stylus.

    One slight problem: once enabled, adjusting a slider inside the LazyNezumi panel sets a lazyline start outside the drawing area so it’s already drawing when I move the crosshair over the canvas.

    If I click once in TVPaint, outside the drawing area, that seems to cancel the lazyline, then I can start a new lazy line with the stylus in the drawing area. Not sure if fixing this just needs a tweak by you, but it can certainly be used as is.

    Oh, also – the checkmark disappears for the “stay on top” option in the File menu even though the option is still in effect (at least for me it does.)

    But the feel is exactly like Lazy Mouse in ZBrush! Well done.

    I’ll post an link and a description on TVPaint for some of the other animators there who might find LazyNezumi useful.

    Thanks again for taking the time to include TVPaint in your apps list.

  16. kamih said,

    August 29, 2009 at 7:21 pm

    Sven:
    glad you like it. Since TVPaint is a single-window app though, you’ll have to disable LazyNezumi before clicking anywhere in the app when you’re not drawing. There’s no way for me to fix this as I can’t know where the canvas area is.
    And for the stayontop, I don’t get a check either. I never saw a check, did you?
    But I noticed some minor other bugs in the GUI.. the lib I am using for that isn’t that great, someday when I have time I’ll redo it with QT or something.

  17. comment said,

    August 29, 2009 at 10:51 pm

    Kamih,

    Yup, you’re correct – no checkmark on stay-on-top option – TVPaint has a few checkmark toggles…

    One other thing: I tried editing the config.ini to change the hotkey to F11 (0, 007A) but had no luck, even with Shift-F11 (1, 007A). Does the LazyNezumi config.ini have to be somewhere other than in the same directory as LazyNezumi.exe?

    Sven

  18. kamih said,

    August 29, 2009 at 11:01 pm

    Sven:
    Make sure you have LazyNezumi closed before you edit the config.ini, as it overwrites it on exit to store all the parameters.
    I just tried 0 007A for F11 and it works correctly.

    August 30, 2009 at 5:35 pm

    Great little program, thanks! It seems to work fine with Photoshop CS3 in Vista Business 64bit, provided I run the program in XP SP2 compatibility mode, but I can’t get it to work with CS4.

  20. kamih said,

    August 30, 2009 at 6:37 pm

    Dan:
    your CS4 is probably a 64bit app. For now LazyNezumi doesn’t work with 64bit apps (it’s in my TODO list though).
    Try to see if you can run CS4 in 32bit mode (they might provide a different exe).

  21. comment said,

    August 30, 2009 at 10:31 pm

    Right again, F11 works fine.

    Kamih,

    I wonder if you could add a “randomize” check box (next to the enabled check box) that would reseed the noise for each stroke?

    This could be useful for adding variation to multi-frame redraws of the same strokes and lines…

    Sven

    Hey Kamih,

    Thanks for putting up your app for download. I’m really interested, but can’t get it to work with TVP animation 9. I’m running LazyNezumi on Windows 7 x64 in xp sp2 compatibility mode. It works on Photoshop CS4 32bit (although I don’t seem to get any of the guides visible). But in TVP nothing is being affected.

    Any idea?

    Cheers,
    A.

    August 31, 2009 at 3:00 pm

    Wow! Great tool Kamih! Ever since I saw LazyMouse in ZBrush I also wanted it for my other apps – thanks so much for creating this and your great support!

    Some remarks that could help you developing:

    1) I have Vista x64 and didn’t yet install my tablet after reinstalling windows recently.
    After copying Wintab32.dll in system32 PsCS4 (32 bit ver) gave me this error several times while starting:

    Photoshop.exe – Unable To Locate Component.

    After I copied it to the Windows folder itself however, the error didn’t appear anymore and LN worked.

    2) The Guideline & GuideCircle didn’t show up however.

    I have an NVidia card and normally have the PS option ‘Enable OpenGL Drawing’ (Edit/Preferences/Performance) on so I can rotate my canvas and stuff. After switching that option off and restarting PS GuideLine & GuideCircle showed. They stopped working again after I turned the option back on again and restarted PS.

    __
    If it’s not to much (!) can I ask you if you could look into also supporting Adobe Illustrator? Using it with the Paintbrush, Pencil & new in CS4 Blob Brush Tools would be awesome! :)

    Thanks again for puting your time & effort in this great little but powerfull tool for all of us.

    Cheers,
    Ron.

  26. kamih said,

    August 31, 2009 at 10:11 pm

    Asaf:
    Currently LazyNezumi does not work with 64bit applications (32bit apps installed on a 64bit OS should work though). If your TVP is 32bit it could work (you did try to attach it right? The current config.ini only has entries for TVP9ProDemo and TVP8). If you did attach it and it doesn’t work, send me a dbgview log via email (see README.txt for instructions) and I’ll see if I can help.

    Jaxx:
    1) Noted. I don’t have Vista, so I don’t know what search paths it uses to find DLLs.
    2) Guidelines will not appear if you are doing OpenGL rendering in PS. This is a known problem and in my TODO.

    I’ll look into Illustrator.

    Hey dude,
    The latest 9.9 beta worked a treat with my Wacom Intuos2 on Window 7 64bit. I couldn’t get previous version to work with this, my main setup, but now I’m smiling.
    Your a legend for persisting.
    Major thanks man.

    Hi Kamih,

    As if you don’t have enough to worry about…

    I wonder if your evolving cursor control skills might be applied to another kind of graphics intervention? This Escher Sketch Tool (seventeen symmetries) looks like something that might be adapted to your plugin tool or something like it. It would certainly streamline the making tiled patterns in ANY graphics package.

    The creators of the Escher drawing tool have posted the source code at their site:
    http://escher.epfl.ch/escher/

    Sven

  30. kamih said,

    September 7, 2009 at 10:56 pm

    Sven:
    Several people have asked about a symmetry feature already, but I’m afraid that this type of thing has to be designed into an application from the start. There’s no easy way to hack it in unless I reverse engineer the target app completely but then it won’t be a generic solution and so it’s not worth the effort.
    I’m currently looking into stroke record/playback stuff though, and if that ever works right, I could playback symmetrically, but it will never be ‘live’ like this escher tool or Alchemy.

  31. comment said,

    September 8, 2009 at 12:22 am

    Kamih,

    Understood. In the case of TVPaint, a few people are already campaigning for a similar symmetry mode and the programmers may consider it after the imminent release of the 9.5 update. (here’s hoping.)

    Anyway, I look forward to your record/playback feature… if you ever get that working that could be lots of fun! – meantime, once again, thanks for sharing all you’ve already done.

    thanks on this neat tool kamh!
    i was able to get it going on win7 PS64 and Silo. the smoothing parameters are very good, results are predictable. other than not having the GuideLine and GuideCircle works good (this is due to my system probably, as i recommended this to a friend on win7 and there it works good)

  38. EZ said,

    October 7, 2009 at 10:22 pm

    on the new version it attaches to the hole window in zbrush and not just the canvas window plus it doesn’t give me 4 seconds it activates soon as your tool starts up.

    plus with the hole window i cant select any thing out side the canvas because your tool is blocking it

    when you check enable is when it should give you 4 seconds

  39. EZ said,

    October 7, 2009 at 11:21 pm

    not sure but i tested the older version now im having the same problem
    so it might be some thing on my end messing it up

  40. EZ said,

    October 8, 2009 at 10:13 pm

    hey i got your app to load as a zbrush plugin so you dont have to click it from the desk top but the problem is in away it works in another way it doesn’t.

    do you want the source code
    you can e mail me at gbphd1@hotmail.com
    i can give it to you or do you want me to give it to some one else i think might be able to fixs it?

  41. kamih said,

    October 9, 2009 at 9:31 pm

    EZ:
    the 4 second thing is only when attaching to a new app window. Then that goes in the settings and lazyNezumi will attach any windows it knows about as soon as it can. Since ZBrush only has one window, you have to disable nezumi when you are not drawing so that it doesn’t interfere with menus and stuff. Nothing more I can do about that, sorry.

  42. EZ said,

    October 11, 2009 at 12:54 am

    ZBrush 3.5R2 just found out you do not have to disable nezumi when selecting a menus or moving the object

    its now Right click to select a item or in light box its double right click to select a object and all so right click and drag the move the object you do not have to disable nezumi

    Great App! Thanks for creating it.

    It works perfectly with mouse but not my intuos4 large.

    xp pro sp3 32bit, CS2, inutos4, using default LazyNezumi settings

    The guide circle follows my pen movements but the cursor is projected to the left of it and moves with an increased jitter. The distance is controlled buy the smoothing slider. I’ve tried different tablet mapping settings but it still produces the same effect. But I can just put down my tablet pen and start using the mouse and then it works perfectly fine.

    Is there anything I’m missing? Is the intuos4 unsupported? Thanks.

    Excellent…

    You should take a look at illustrators “edit existing path”.

    I can see that it’s not such a stretch to go from here to an “edit existing path” style software overlay…

    (eg, you go over the line, and different parts of the line until you get it looking right, and THEN the nezumi software renders down the line in bitmap)

    hey,
    I have downloaded the latest version but unfortunately It doesn’t appear to work with my intous 2 graphics tablet. I’m using CS3. it works fine with the mouse but the tablet just freaks out. as soon as i put the pen to the tablet the cursor jumps off to the left and then stay to the left of where i draw.
    i don’t know if this could possibly have somethgin to do with my dual monitor set-up? (though i would have thought not seeing as the mouse works :S)
    does this sound like known issue that can be fixed? cheers

    December 3, 2009 at 3:49 pm

    Hey and thank you for this wonderful little app!

    I dunno if this has been commented on/solved already, but I tried in out in CS4 on Win 7 x64 and CS4 draws over the guide circle/line. However, if I go into Edit > Preferences > Performance and disable “OpenGL Drawing” in the GPU setting, the guide tools are visible again! Just wanted to note it out, if it was troubling anyone else.

  55. kamih said,

    December 4, 2009 at 12:46 am

    Hi Joakim,
    yeah, the guide-line is drawn with normal GDI calls, so if you have an OpenGL canvas then they won’t work correctly.
    Sorry but fixing this would be a lot of tricky work (and would be different for each application), so I don’t know when (or even if) I’ll ever get around to it…
    Glad you like it anyways :)

    December 7, 2009 at 4:05 am

    I thought this was going to be useless for me in Windows 7 x64 with my Intuos 4 .
    It was completely jumpy and drawing from somewhere unpredictable until I used the “Display Toggle” function for my tablet (essentially switches the Stylus to Pen Mode and locks to a single monitor) that made this program work at 100% and I find it extremely useful now. Thanks for this brilliant piece of work.
    Anything like this for Mac OS X ?

  57. Trpplesea said,

    December 22, 2009 at 6:06 am

    I looked at this app w/ GREAT trepidation… and was shown my new favorite enhancement app… This thing is GREAT. I am not a fan of the ZB interface. LazyBrush is the only thing that makes it even remotely tolerable.

    That having been said, my hand shakes quite a bit these days and I have been lusting after something like this for PS. I will be recommending it to all of my co-workers.

    I will verify Ronnie Ho Hips’s findings that having an Intuos Tablet (his was 4, mine is 3) set for Mouse breaks the LaziNezumi Program pretty thoroughly. Setting the tablet to Pen is a bit of a pain, but it’s worth it for the functionality. Nice work… nice nice work.

    Fixing the Tablet settings issue would make this pretty much bulletproof.

    December 26, 2009 at 5:47 pm

    Hi Kamih,

    Was wondering if you would consider another tweak or two to LazyNezumi?

    1. Either have it remember the “always on top” setting and the “Enabled” mode setting from one session to the next?

    Alternatively, perhaps switches which could set those two things on startup: /t- /e- or some such.

    2. It would also be really helpful if LazyNezumi could check if it is already running and not start up a second version of itself. I’m trying to setup a simple batch file that will let me run LazyNezumi before starting up TVPaint.

    Thanks! Sven

    Hi! Gratz for the outstanding little tool, extremely helpful for regular photoshop usage. One app that I’m seriously missing proper support for is MODO. I’ve tested your app in XP SP2 with it and even with window capture it doesn’t work properly when using the paint tools. The “lazy line” seems to flicker in and out with no practical result. If you can get this to work I’m sure hundreds of Modo artists would become your instant fans :)

    Lazy mouse works fine with my mouse, but when i use my tablet (intuos 3 with the latest drivers) the lazy mouse only draws sideways, that is to say, that it doesnt work. It just shifts the line over sideways perfectly totally negating the smoothing =(

    Is there a way to work around this at all?

    Hi, It’s great app and it help a lot. But sometimes after step back function(multi step undo) of photoshop CS4 it is disables randomly for one stroke, and re enables for next one. May be it’s just loosing focus of window for a time. And guide line and circle isn’t work at all. I guess it’s because of using hardware draw acceleration of work area in new photoshop. I use it on windows 7.

    And I want to ask you about 2 improvements in usability of this program. It will be great if the window of this program will be standard Windows window instead of dialog style. It’s because windows 7 has a feature to dock windows to each other, But it does not apply for dialog style windows. To dock window you can drag it not only by the top title bar, but every edge of window. It can help to get the app from under the task bar if it’s placed in mac style on top of work table.

    And second thing I’d like to ask is ability to minimize it to tray. It will be very comfortable. And for the very luxury, it will be great to see a drop down pop-up with settings when mouse over the system tray icon of the app.

    Thank you soooo much for this kamih. You’re awesome.

    works fine with cs5 using cs4 settings in the ini file.

    Awesome app! Problem though. It doesn’t work in cs5 64. Works great in Win 7 64 CS4 PS(64). Hope this is something that can be fixed easy. CS5 seems to have a bit of a bug. The longer your draw on a doc, the more gaggy your slow sweeping lines you draw get. It’s really frustrating.

    Hope you can help.

    Would it be possible to have smoothing outside of a canvas and not only during paint strokes? I ask this because it could really ease the impact of my moms tremor. “I can draw smooth lines again, but color picking is still tough!”

  87. SporgeBobSpamPants said,

    August 5, 2010 at 1:00 am

    Arggghh!! How the wankers at Adobe could release Photoshop CS5 without adding in a native lazy mouse feature is beyond me. I would also dearly like to see a “lock to path” feature, in which your brush strokes would be constrained to a path. This would allow you to emphasize a line in any way you wish.

    Nothing for it but to round them up and shoot them all, I suppose. Shame, they seemed like a fairly talented bunch of programmers.

    I kid, I kid. Anyway, I wanted to add a couple of troubleshooting tips that may help those struggling with LazyNezumi.

    1) The “stay on top” option works just fine for me, but I notice that when its selected no checkmark appears beside it. This makes it a little confusing to tell at first glance whether the feature is turned on or off. I suspect the person who was having trouble with this (see above comments somewhere) noticed the absence of the checkmark, clicked on the option to enable it, and so inadvertently turned it OFF.

    Perhaps the checkmark issue could be corrected in a future version?

    2) For those using Wacom tablets, make sure you are using Pen mode, and not Mouse mode. Mouse mode is more convenient for those like me who have large tablets, but it causes extremely erratic behaviour when using LazyNezumi (read: it becomes unusable). I keep the Wacom preferences utility open while I work so that I can switch back and forth as I work. Awkward, but having access to LazyNezumi is worth it.

    Hope this helps. For the record, I am using Windows 7, Photoshop CS4, and a Wacom Intuos 3 9×12 tablet.

    Awesome utility, by the way. Please continue to work at it and enhance it.

    If I use the mouse it seems to work fine (can’t see guideline or guidecircle, but thats not the problem), but if I use the tablet the cursor moves to the right and up.
    Any suggestions how I can fix this ?

    I had the pleasure of using LazyNezumi on my work computer and it blew me away. It worked like a charm. I have Vista and CS3 and LazyNezumi worked right off the bat but now I am trying it on my home computer and it looks like there’s a problem mapping the screen. I have Vista 64 bits and Photoshop CS5 64. When I draw the lines appear somewhere else on the screen and I can’t control them. Could someone here tell me what I can do to fix the problem?

    I am using windows 7 64 and Photoshop CS4 64 bit. I use a Cintiq 21UX. Your program works as long as i only use the mouse. When I use the pen it is off set at an angle and is useless. It does the same thing in Painter 11 as in PS. Your program would be a great help if I could just get it to work on my system.

    I would appreciate any advise you can give me.

    Awesome app! Whenever I run out of felt nibs for my Cintiq it’s much harder to draw correct lines because of the smoothness of the tablet against plastic. But this one helps a lot!

    Just writing to say it works perfectly good with my Cintiq 12WX. I have a suggestion for an improvement though. A key-bindable feature to “switch” between two different settings =)

    It does recognise photoshop but for some reason the app work in every windows (menu bars, background layers) BUT the main windows (canvas)

    Does the settings have to be changed into the App file? i’ve tried with the attch to window option, all my psd menus are flickering with red frame but in the end there’s no change. The lazy mouse works everywhere but in teh canvas. Does anyone have the same problem or knows how to solve it?

    Nikko: I linked to my apps.ini a bit ago which I think might fix your problem. At the time I couldn’t remember what I did to fix it, but I remember now.

    I’ll write it how to get it to work for future reference for everyone. If you’re using the latest version of photoshop, the directory changed from Photoshop CS5 to Photoshop CS5.1, which is what messed up LazyNezumi. All you have to do is copy the old photoshop cs5 entry in apps.ini and change “CS5″ to “CS5.1″

    So your new entries (32 and 64 bit) should look like this:
    —– snip

    AppName=CS5.1\Photoshop.exe
    WindowClassName=OWL.Document|PSViewC
    HookGetCursorPos=TRUE
    HookPeekMessageW=TRUE

    AppName=CS5.1 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe
    WindowClassName=OWL.Document|PSViewC
    HookGetCursorPos=TRUE
    HookPeekMessageW=TRUE

    ——- /snip

    Hope that helps.

    Hi just wanted, to share a tip how to use it in Illustrator and Flash CS5. First you must run LazyNezumi and then go to File>Attach to window, and then click on illustrator paint area do the same with Flash. Close LazyNezumi and open apps.ini file you should find lines similar to this :

    AppName=\Device\HarddiskVolume1\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS5\Flash.exe
    WindowClassName=OWL.Document|AfxFrameOrView90u

    AppName=\Device\HarddiskVolume1\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS5\Support Files\Contents\Windows\Illustrator.exe
    WindowClassName=OWL.Document|Static

    so you must add additional option to these entries

    HookMouseMove=FALSE
    HookGetCursorPos=TRUE

    so they should look like this

    AppName=\Device\HarddiskVolume1\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS5\Flash.exe
    WindowClassName=OWL.Document|AfxFrameOrView90u
    HookMouseMove=FALSE
    HookGetCursorPos=TRUE

    AppName=\Device\HarddiskVolume1\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS5\Support Files\Contents\Windows\Illustrator.exe
    WindowClassName=OWL.Document|Static
    HookMouseMove=FALSE
    HookGetCursorPos=TRUE

    Save apps.ini and load LazyNezumi again now it should work :)

    Hi,

    Thanks for sharing your work.

    I have some issues with PS CS5 64, an Intuos4 and Win 7. When I launch lazynezumi and hover over PS, I keep having a prompt that pop up and immediately close every few seconds. In the meanwhile, the app doesn’t seems to hook in with my tablet.

    If I try to “attach to window”, then all the Phtotshop CS5 related entries are removed from apps.ini. I’ve tried the last apps.ini and another one that someone provided in here, but I can’t get it to work. I’ve also tried to launch it from a prompt, but the application doesn’t output any message.

    Can someone help? Having lazynezumi to work would way improve my workflow.

    Thanks again.

    I’m running on Windows 7 64-bit, Adobe Photoshop CS5 and a Wacom Bamboo Pen & Touch.

    LazyNezumi detects photoshop just fine, however when i attempt draw the brush makes it’s strokes a fair ways to the right of where the actual cursor is, and in addition to that instead of making nice, smooth lines i get something more along the lines of an electrocardiogram.

    I have taken a screenshot and illustrated it to help explain what is going on. http://i45.tinypic.com/x57c51.jpg

    Any ideas on why it’s doing this and what the solution might be?

  145. kamih said,

    Rodrigo, it should work with CS6, just copy the CS4/5 entries from the apps.ini and edit the paths so that it points to CS6.

    Jordan, try switching to Pen Mode in your Wacom settings. I don’t know why it does this for some people, for me it works fine in both modes.

  147. Rodrigo said,

    Thanks again Kanih, it works!!

    The only thing I get is everytime I started the program, the apps.ini changed the entries to default. So I changed the file properties to “read only” and works like a charm!

    Wow thanks a lot! I’ve having to ink my line-art outside of Photoshop for years and it always annoyed me so this is a godsend!

    I’m gonna donate as soon as i get my next paycheck – i promise! ;)

    Some notes on how i use to ink in Photoshop:

    I turn the radius to 0 but smotthing between 60 and 100 – it works perfectly! :D

    I don’t see the guide curve or line in PS CS5 64bit but frankly i don’t miss it all,

    Thanks again dude!

    Say, would it be possible to make a new feature for this sweet little program?

    Namely, one where only the tablet pressure inputs get smoothed out. :)

    Because smooth lines are good and all, but when you’re already zoomed in by 400+%, a non jittery result would be a godsend.

    For an example of what I mean by jittery results, have at thee:
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/63152810/Stuff/UFCK.png

    Note the randomly appearing pixels that are either too bright or too dark.
    That’s what happens when you’re stroking out stuff quite fast;

    Your pen bumps around quite a bit with the fast, broad strokes – and that can’t be good for holding a steady level of pressure. (And thus that kind of noise pops up.)

    But generally, this thing is great. (The bug with the hook just stopping seems to be gone too.) :-)

  150. Bloax said,

    May 17, 2012 at 8:45 am

    Oh, and here’s why I’d like that feature: (GOD am I pissy now that my previous post is gone because I apparently didn’t pass the math.)

    I usually prefer to use 10 quick strokes over one long one, and if all of them are slower, things get a bit tedious.
    And due to the speed of these strokes, the pressure goes bananas too.

    So if I could have something to smooth the pressure out, but NOT the strokes, I’d be a happy banana. :-)

    I agree with Klaudio, please design this for Mac. I would gladly pay $40 for this to work on a mac. I work on a mac everyday at my job, and a tool like this would be invaluable.

    Confirming that this program works with Monoprice tablets in SAI! Don’t know about any other programs.

    Its too bad I can’t get my tablet to work with this program. :P
    I have a Hanvon GraphicPal 0806 and it won’t draw a thing on photoshop, and has no effect in SAI.

    Hi,

    Thanks for bringing into the world a really great app. This greatly helps me in my projects :) However, just a question: I am using Photoshop CS4 32 bit and although it works perfectly, a “C:\WINDOWS\systems32\cmd.exe” window appears and disappears like every few seconds and can get pretty annoying. I just copied over the mouseHook.dll into my PS directory, opened Photoshop, and launched the lazyNezumi.exe. Is there anything I should do to prevent the systems window to appear all the time? Other than that, everything works fine. Thanks a lot!

    I just tried this out with Paint Tool Sai (and a Genius tablet), and it works great! There’s only one problem I can see, which is that the red box continues to flash around all of the program’s individual tools as well as the canvas, even while it’s in use after it’s been attached to the canvas. Is there a way to fix that? It doesn’t seem to cause any practical problems AFAIK, but it’s kind of a pain.

  168. kamih said,

    March 16, 2013 at 5:53 pm

    Yeah I know about this problem. This is because nezumi hooks windows with a specific class name. Some programs, like Sai and Gimp, use the same class name for all their internal windows, so nezumi has no way to know which one is the canvas, and hooks them all.
    Enough people have complained about this, so I’m going to update nezumi soon so that it uses a manual attach to window function that just uses the window ID.

  169. CyberStarslap said,

    March 16, 2013 at 11:02 pm

    Ok, that makes sense. Thanks for letting me know; I’ll keep an eye out for the update.

    March 20, 2013 at 4:42 pm

    @CyberStarslap

    Try adding MinWindowSize to the sai settings in apps.ini. You may need to tweak it depending on your resolution, but it works for me.

    mine looks like this:
    AppName=sai
    WindowClassName=sfl_window_class|sfl_window_class
    MinWindowSize=700 600
