I am using a wacom Graphie - on Vista x64.

While I am working due to sampling with the healing/clone - I get this popup

Even while I type without using the wacom - the alt/shift/ctrl pop up always comes up when pressed. It is getting highly annoying - especially seeing it  x times a day.

I've tried fiddling with my settings with no luck.

How can this be disabled?

Hey buddy, I'm on mac and never had this problem.  What version of Photoshop are you on?  I hope someone jumps in and help you out.

A non-member just emailed this info, so it must really bug them...

"Tell them to update their wacom tablet drivers. The latest version is a little more intelligent about the CTRL/SHIFT/ALT pop-ups (hovers below cursor; does not appear if pen not detected by tablet) but does not remove the feature entirely.

Also, please suggest to them that they contact Wacom to have this feature either removed entirely or something they can disable in the Pen Tablet Properties in Control Panel.

The more people google and stumble upon this post and bother Wacom about it, the sooner everyone can stop becoming infuriated by the issue. "

Thank you so much! I am going to let them know.

You have no idea how many times a day I see the alt. I have instinctively started working (heal/brush) in different regions of the screen away from the alt popup naturally so that I see it less often than expected via peripheral vision.

I hit alt every time I brush to define a different source - it adds up very fast.

Thank you once again!
