ACR and tablet, pen pressure

I know, that pen pressure does not work in Adobe Camera Raw. But can anyone explain me, WHY? It works everywhere else - in PS, in Lightroom etc., but not in ACR!
And is there any chance, that it will implemented there in the future?

I'm with Todditron and the others with lack of pressure problem.
I'm on a Mac running OSX 10.6.6, with a Wacom Graphire4.
Pressure works in Photoshop CS5. In illustrator, pen works-making lines and scribbles as directed, but no variation with increased/decreased pressure. In the Brushes panel, I can double click on selected brush, opening an Art Brush Options window, and change width, roundness, etc from "fixed" to "pressure," but those qualities remain fixed, regardless of my pressure.
Wrote to and heard back from Wacom Help Desk. Followed their instructions..
"I would recommend removing your current driver by opening your Applications folder and double clicking on the Remove Wacom tablet icon or the Wacom tablet utility icon found in the Wacom tablet folder there. Inside that removal utility you’ll want to click on the remove tablet software button and then enter your password to remove your current driver. Once the driver has been removed you’ll then want to repair your disk permissions before installing the latest. To do this if you open your Utilities folder at the bottom of your Applications folder, in there will be an icon for Disk Utility that you’ll want to double click on. In the Disk Utility you’ll then want to select your Macintosh HD on the left hand side and then click the repair disk permissions button towards the bottom. Once the permissions repair is complete you can then download and install the latest driver for your tablet from our website."
to no avail. Tried the process again, restarting the computer after repairing Disk Permissions and reinstalling newest tablet driver. No go.

Wacom Tablet Pen Pressure stops working in Photoshop after using Lightroom Local Adjustment Brush

Hi all,
I am experiencing a problem with my Intuos Pro Medium (driver 6.3.9w3 on Windows 8.1)
I am using Lighroom 5.6 and Photoshop CC 2014.
I an get the pen pressure to work in Photoshop without any problem. However, if I go into Lightroom and use the Local Adjustment Brush and then transfer the photo into Photoshop (Right Click Edit In => Edit in Adobe Photoshop 2014 CC) then the pen pressure stops working in Photoshop.
Really frustrating... The only workaround is to close both Photoshop and Lightroom, then reopen Photoshop, then usually the Pen pressure feature starts working again.
Has anyone experienced this before or has any idea how to fix this?
Thanks,
Guillaume

Your tablet driver isn't reporting pressure correctly.
The knockoff tablet drivers usually need to be revised for each new version of Photoshop (and we have no idea why).
Contact your tablet maker to see if they have updated drivers to fix their bugs.

Disable tablet pen pressure for eraser tool in PSE 10?

Hi, I recently bought PSE 10.
I have an Intuos 3 Wacom tablet and whenever I switch to the Eraser tool, in the brush preview icon (top left corner) I see this ~ type of a shape with narrow-pointy edges, indicating that the size-pen-pressure feature is on.
This is always true, even when I switch off all the per-pressure options via the Brush tool.
Can anyone hint how to control or at-least disable the pen-pressure feature while in the Eraser tool?
Thank you.

One way would be to use the Basic Brushes which are not set for any pressure functions by default.
Or if you need a special brush you could save the brush without any pressure settings with the brush tool selected
and those settings should carry over for the eraser tool.
Also, you can set the mode to clear with the brush tool and that will act like the eraser tool set on the brush mode.

CS3 + Wacom Intuos tablet: pen pressure not recognized in CS3

Photoshop won't recognize my tablet for Pen Pressure sensitivity. Under the Brush settings it has the yellow triangle that says "Pen Pressure requires the use of a pressure sensitive tablet." I've installed the latest driver for Windows 7, and the tablet works in programs like Corel Painter and Sketchbook with no pressure problems, so it's definitely Photoshop. What do I do?

I did. I have installed the latest driver for Windows 7.

Tablet + pen pressure + illustrator CS5 issue

Hello all,
I just installed Illustrator CS5 and I can't get the brushes to recognize pen pressure from my graphics tablet (intuos3).
I have tried all the combos of brushes, strokes, etc. It looks like all the 6D options (bearing, tilt, pressure) are greyed out. Thus, the ap doesn't recognize when I am using my pen.
Oddly, the pen works great in Photoshop CS5.
I am working on Windows 7.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Tablet Pen Pressure not working

I got a M708 Ugee Graphics Tablet just yesterday, I was sketching on photoshop and pressure sensitivity was working fine, then later on the same day I re-opened my photoshop tab and pressure sensitivity was no longer working, I hadn't even restarted photoshop or anything.
I checked the brush window, It's set to pen pressure but there's an ! warning saying I need a tablet with pressure sensitivity (which I do have)
I can not seem to get it to work again, I've tried absolutely everything, I uninstalled and reinstalled my tablet driver, I also uninstalled and reinstalled photoshop, and I restarted my laptop multiple times, This issue is really bugging me and I'm getting quite desperate since I spent the last 2 hours trying to solve this issue, Any ideas what I can do?

If your tablet is a USB device, try a different USB port.
Also, you might want to contact the vendor to see if they have a compatibility issue with Photoshop CC(2014).
Adobe Photoshop from CC and backward was FLASH based.
Photoshop CC (2014) abandoned Flash and now uses HTML5.
Your tablet maker may not have ported their driver to run under CC(2014) HTML5.
If you still have Photoshop CC on your system, Try using the tablet there and see if it works ok.
If it does, then contact the tablet maker and see what issues they might have.

I have windows 8.1 and a grapnics pad and touch pen. pressure not working in PS CC

I just bought a HomCom 10" 5080LPI Graphics Pade and Pen. Photoshop will not react to pen pressure. even after setting brush dynamics to pen pressure. Is there a patch or am I doing something wrong? All other functions of the pade seem to work fine, except pen pressure. Thank you in advance for any help in this area. I have check the forums and found no new info on this topic.

More often than not when a device isn't working it is because the driver has become corrupted. Re-installing a fresh copy should help

Path Properties:Tablet Pen Pressure

is there such a thing?
Theoretically, there must be. in order for a calligraphic brush pen to store the data and appropriately render the actual path the path seemingly MUST contain SOME type of information about how the brush tool was used.
So my question is, is there anybody out that that knows what this property is? or how it's called? any help is appreciated, even if it's just a large repository of adobe properties i could search through.
thanks in advance,

Did you ever figure this out?
Would be great to have a script that translates path vertices to an XML-style output with X, Y and pressure.

Pen Pressure not working in Photoshop CS5.1

Hello,
I've looked at a lot of questions and answers concerning pen pressure in this forum, and I've tried a lot of things to fix this problem. I have a Genius MousePen 6x8 and use Photoshop CS5.1. It's been a while since I used my tablet, but it used to work before. I rebooted my computer a while ago, so I installed the new driver from the Genius website. The tablet is working fine, even the pen pressure, but for some reason it just won't work in Photoshop. I've tried to fix it by resetting the Photoshop settings by using the Ctrl+Shift+Alt, I've reset the brush tool, I've played around with the brush options and nothing has worked.
Here is the image of the pen pressure working:
And here is the image of the settings for the brush and the pen pressure not working:

Pen pressure wont work with Elements 13

I am incredibly frustrated right now. I finally decided to upgrade my elements 8 to 13 because it was on sale. My Huion 580 tablet pen pressure functions work great with Photoshop Elements 8, so I assumed that I would not have a problem with Photoshop Elements 13. I have tried everything including playing with my tablet settings and brush settings in the program. Nothing will make the pressure sensitivity on the brush work! I know it is not a problem with the tablet because it still works just fine on my elements 8. The upgrade is useless to me unless I can get the pen to work. Any suggestions?
thanks in advance

Which operating system are you using?
Does the tablet maker have any updated drivers?

Pen Pressure works.. but not in Cs3? Please help

Hi there
I'm having a problem with the pen pressure dynamics on CS3. They can't be changed.
If I change it to 'pen pressure' I get a little yellow marker next to it which I assume means its not registering or recognizing.
http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss154/Peardan/Yellow_error.jpg
The tablet I use is Wacom Intuos (I think its the original) http://i602.photobucket.com/albums/tt110/thedeekin/forsale/Intuos1.jpg
I know for a fact that the pen pressure works because I have a program that tests it.
http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss154/Peardan/Stupidthingdunwork.jpg
That blue bar goes up the harder I press so I know its working..
Every method of fixing has been tested:
Driver in the box, Latest drivers, Every driver that was available for download,
Unplug and plug,
Ctrl+Alt+Shift.
10million pc restarts.
It has always worked fine on my old computers which where xp, no problems but I got a new computer with 64bit Windows7.
As far as I can tell its photoshop thats not letting it work. CS3 is fully updated and works great aside from this problem which is stopping everything.
Thanks for the help.
I want to draw..

Ok its fixed! Thanks guys!
Exactly what I did for those who want to know:
Opened photoshop with Ctrl+Alt+Shift and hit the pop up button
I then made the brush settings to normal and not pen pressure and closed it down.
Start -> Control Panel -> Programs/Uninstall a program -> Uninstalled Wacom tablet file
Went onto that link provided http://www.wacom.com/downloads/drivers.php
Selected Intuos GD and Windows 7.
I then downloaded the oldest driver down the bottom (Which apparently was the first one compatable with windows 7)
Installed and accepted the restart notification.
Before I checked Photoshop I opened Paint and tested the pen pressure on various brushes and kept it open
Then opened photoshop and put the settings on pen pressure again and it worked!
Doing it exactly like that was what seemed to get it working propperly.
Thank you again!

Pen Pressure sensitivity not working

I'm using Intuos4 and the pen pressure won't work.
I've downloaded the latest driver and the patch for Photoshop CS5.
Do I need to do anything else? Or is there a problem with my program?
Cherry.

When you use the Brush Tool, in the Options bar appears an icon that gives you access to the Brush Engine:
Here you can set options for the brush including using Pen Pressure if you use a tablet:

Pen Pressure in CS4 Vista 64-bit

Even through all other applications on my PC were able to respond to tablet pen pressure, CS4 running in Vista 64-bit did not. I was able to get the pressure to work when executing the 32-bit photoshop.exe found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Photoshop.exe. I'll continue to use the 32-bit program until Adobe solves this in the 64-bit version.
It was good of Adobe to automatically install both a 32-bit and a 64-bit version of the program.

[high pitched Flanders] aaarrrrgghhhhh [/high pitched Flanders]
..>cough<..sorry about that.. :)
cs4 x64 in vista x64 does respond to pen pressure....have you installed the new drivers...are you using a Wacom?
Did you miss the massive thread about it?

Pen pressure not working properly!

Just installed Flash CC and tried using the Brush tool and the pen pressure isn't working properly! I have a Wacom Cintiq 24HD, I'm using Pen Pressure and Tilt and there is a serious lag between when I start drawing and when Flash starts to preview what I'm drawing (roughly two seconds). Once Flash starts the preview, the line I've been drawing jumps from where I start to the current position of the cursor without registering any curve I drew beforehand. It is seriously frustrating! Does anyone have the same problem?

Hi Jackimo,
The issue is reported and we are tracking it.We will try to get it resolved asap. You can have a look at the thread for the detail :http://forums.adobe.com/message/5454376#5454376.

"pen pressure requires the use of a pressure sensitive tablet" in WINDOWS 8.1

old problem but different system
"control by pen pressure requires the use of a pressure sensitive tablet"
I have a problem with it. There is problem when i using my Intuos pro or Cintiq 22 and my version of photoshop is CC.
Can somebody help me with this? hope for some simple solution ; )

If I recall correctly I solved this problem by things I found on the internet. However this is for Windows 7 and it has been a long time ago...
Don't know if it is still appropriate but here goes:
Windows Prof:
Run “gpedit.msc” (click start, in the box closest to the button type “gpedit.msc” without quotes)
Click User Configuration, then drop down Administrative Templates, then drop down Windows Components, then drop down Tablet PC. Finally click “Cursors”
Now double-click Turn off pen feedback. Click the radio button “enable” and click ok.
Windows Home:
circle1
Press the windows key
type "pen and touch" and press enter
In the window that appears, left-click the entry "Press and hold" and click "settings".
Uncheck "Enable press and hold for right-clicking".
Click OK on both windows to close them
circle2
Press the windows key
type "computer management" and press enter
In the window that opens, Double click "Services and Applications" in the centre column
Double click "Services" in the centre column
Scroll down and double click "Tablet PC Input Service"
Find the "Startup type:" dropdown box and change it to "Disabled".
Click OK, then close the Computer Management window
Restart your PC
After your PC loads up again, one of two things should happen: either your tablet works happily and circle-free, or it doesn't work at all. If it doesn't work at all, you now need to download and install the proper driver for it (to replace the Microsoft one that you just disabled). If you use a wacom, you can find the driver for your tablet here.
