BermBuster Loc: Hi Desert S.Cal

I’m using a Wacom intuos tablet to edit photos in Photoshop CS6. But it has been a real pain since Dec 2016, after upgrading to latest MacBook Pro (with the new touch bar) running Sierra (Currently version 10.12.5).

Some of my problems....The curser disappears from the workspace, shotcuts don’t work, like CNTRL+ALT to change brush size, or X to switch fore & BG colors...You have to tap somewhere outside the workspace to get the curser back, so you can change tools...the lasso tool will hang, or close selection as if you lifted the pen...etc etc...

Wacom is aware of the problems and I have done all 6 driver updates since December.
And 2-3 Os Sierra updates on the Mac. Along with countless reboots, deleting and reinstalling of software and drivers.
Many of the ‘other’ problems (I didn’t mention-like the bluetooth not working) Have been fixed, but the Photoshop bugginess continues.
Yesterday I stumbled across this article at Fstoppers, from January 22, 2015 (Before the new Macbook Pro was out).
And the plugin from Adobe seems to do the trick!

What is Apple's corporate arrogance that allows them to upgrade OS without checking if one of the critical tools for artists, a flippin Wacom tablet, won't work? Which is why I will never have iOS for main editing machines.

Yeah, I have been an apple fan for several years. But this is probably the end for me. They dumbed down iPhoto, to photos, and worse, eliminated aperture.
The quality keeps dropping...I could go on and on. I thought I would give them one more try... But 6 months later,, they proved they don't care.

Thanks for the links. Great timing. I just got a new MacBook pro yesterday and am in the process of setting it.

"setting it"? After one day?

Nalu, I only bought one usb to usb-c adaptor, but I found an inexpensive card reader, that has 3 more usb ports, over at OWC computing. Makes it handy for my external drives and Wacom... Without buying a bunch of expensive adaptors.
