No pen pressure sensitivity in CS3

I am running both Photoshop versions CS2 and CS3 on a Macbook Pro with Leopard 10.5.6 installed. I have downloaded the latest Wacom driver for use with my Intuos2 tablet. Running CS2 the pen's pressure sensitivity is working fine. Running CS3 however, gives only 100% pressure on every stroke, regardless of the applied pressure on the pen.
Can this be solved?

Be aware that when running CS2 under Leopard, there are usability issues that Adobe will not correct, as CS2 is long discontinued.

Wacom pen pressure sensitivity with PS elements 9

I was just using the free trial with CS6 and was able to get it to ignore the pen pressure sensitivity, so that it was the same size no matter how hard i pressed down. In elements I'm having a hard time in getting it to ignore the pressure sensitivity. I have the pen settings in the wacom software on the softer side so you dont have to press down hard to get the full size of the brush in photoshop, but when I go to test it out in PS it doesnt ignore the pressure.
Im using it on windows 7.
Any ideas?

With the Brush Tool selected in pse 9 did you look at the settings for the graphics tablet?
It's a small arrow as in the screenshot below to reveal the popup menu to set the pressure options.
Since you posted in the full photoshop forum you might post over in the photoshop elements forum if the above doesn't work:

Pen pressure sensitivity stops when I have more than one window open

I recently upgraded to Flash CC and have noticed some new bugs. Here's one of them:
When I have more than one document open at a time, my pen pressure sensitivity stops working. In fact, it seems to work on the newest opened document, but will stop working on any previosuly opened documents. If all but one document is closed, the pen pressure returns.
I'm using Windows 8, and a Cintiq 21UX.
Steps to reproduce:
- Launch Flash.
- Open a new document.
- Select the "Brush" tool.
- Toggle "Use pressure" in the tool bar.
- Draw something to make sure the pen pressure is working.
- Open a new document.
- Draw something to make sure the pen pressure is working.
- Return to the previous document and attempt to draw.
- Notice how the pen pressure is absent.
Any help or suggestions would be great. Thank you.

No problem. I've been using older versions of Flash until CC gets the bugs squashed. This pressure issue is a deal breaker for my coworkers and me, and also this audio one: http://forums.adobe.com/message/6013488?tstart=0

How do I get pen pressure sensitivity in Photoshop CS5?

Hi
There is no sensitivity to pressure in my Photoshop CS5. I have installed the driver for my tablet (Intuos 4), but it still doesn't work. I have also clicked the icons for both pressure and opacity in the bar at the top, but they made no difference.
I see a triangle with an exclamation point in the brushes menu by the control options. It says "Control by pen pressure requires the use of a pressure sensitive tablet," so I take this to mean that my tablet isn't supporting sensitivity.
The tablet works just fine, but the sensitivity won't. What should I do?
Thanks

Hi,
I figured it out! Pen Pressure is working just fine now. Here are the steps I used to fix my problem. Thanks for your help, Noel!
Windows 7/Vista Pro Driver
-Disconnect the tablet from the computer
-Open your start menu and then the Control Panel
-Open programs and features
-Uninstall any listing here for Tablet or Wacom Tablet and then restart the computer
-After restarting, download and install only the latest driver (6.16) from wacom website
-Once the installation is complete, and the system is stable, connect the tablet.

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:

Wacom pen pressure sensitivity always turns off in Photoshop

I got this issue since I got my new windows system.
I do my daily Photoshop session with my Wacom Intuos 4, then randomly later, sensitivity of the pen turns off. The only way to recover the problem is to reboot Photoshop and sometime the whole system.
Any idea why it doing that?
I downloaded the latest Wacom drivers and Photoshop CS4 is up to date and the problem still persist.

When you get this problem again. See if you can open the Wacom Control Panel applet. Some see if the tablet is still working for that applet. If not try checking the Wacom service is running perhaps stop and start it. If that does not fix the problems see if logging off and back does. I have lost my some Wacom Intuos 5 function in Photoshop. The tablet seemed to be working for I could move the cursor. However I think it was widows Pen support doing the movement not Wacom for when I tried the wacom controll panel app it did not think a tablet was connected.

I have pse 12 i bought a wacom intuos pen tablet small recently but when i click on the tablet options only the opacity pressure sensititive option works everything else does not respond to pen pressure sensitivity

who's fault is it adobe or wacom?who should fix the problem or can i fix it on my own? the wacom driver is up to date just in case u suggest that to me.

This is the Photoshop Touch for tablets forum. But anyhoo...
I have a Bamboo Splash tablet that I use with Windows 8.1 64-bit but have zero problems using it in Photoshop CC 2014.2.2. Things that come to mind to me are:
You didn't mention what model tablet. Wacom has a range of drivers for your specific model here. Try that.
There's no way that you can install Mac drivers on a Windows system. Mac drivers come as DMG files; Win drivers come as EXE files.
If you have the proper drivers installed and it's still giving you overall system issues, look into other aspects of your system. e.g., Are there other applications running in the background that could interfere? Exit them. Are all the drivers for your components updated? (Video, audio, etc.) If you don't feel computer savvy, get someone who is to take a look.
ON EDIT: I am a derp. I just saw the thread title. Sorry about that. Go to the link I posted above to find the Windows drivers for the Intuos 4.

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.

CS3 Tablet PC, pen pressure not working.

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p101/Shokemn/photoshoppen.png
is what my settings for pen look like right now
but my issue is that theres no sensitivity every time i set it to "pen pressure" the little triangle pops up beside it saying I need a pen pressure sensitive tablet.
But I do have one, I have a tablet PC (laptop with a touchscreen) specifically its a HP Pavilion tx 2000.
What i'm hoping to have it look like:http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p101/Shokemn/photoshoppenafter.png
any help would be super appreciated i dont know what to do at this point.

People report time and again that COMPLETELY removing the old driver, then installing the latest, does good things for them.
Photoshop, being an advanced application, demands a lot of the components it works with.

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!

Problems with pressure sensitivity CS3

Hiya! As my title says, I'm having problems with pressure sensitivity in CS3. I use an HP Pavilion tx2000 (or, more specifically, tx2115nr) hybrid tablet-PC. I used the help feature to see if my brush settings were set correctly...but it seems that CS3 just isn't registering that I'm using a tablet at all (it shows a little yellow caution triangle warning that I need a tablet for the pressure-sensitive settings; I'm not sure if it's supposed to do that or not). I used a (sorely outdated) version of Photoshop that worked just fine with my tablet-PC, and I find it rather discouraging that CS3 isn't working...can anyone help me solve this problem?
If I'm missing any necessary information needed to help solve this problem, just lemme know and I'll post it ASAP.

I have an nvidia chipset with an nforce motherboard...I don't know how to check who made my screen, though.
The only way I know how to check if my drivers are updated is through Windows Updates...the only update I have that's not language packs is an update for Wacom (it says "Wacom - Input - Wacom USB Touch"), not really sure why though since I don't have a Wacom tablet, just my PC...anyway, I'm going to update and see if that solves my problem.

Surface Pro pen pressure is not working in Photoshop

I just bought Microsoft Photoshop.
But Adobe Photoshop doesn't provide pen pressure sensitivity.
I tested Microsoft OneNote, Fresh Paint, and Autodesk Sketchbook. They are working well.
Please provide the pen pressure function in Photoshop too.

On the Main photoshop forum, one of the Adobe staff is stating that the issue is with Microsoft and not Adobe. I can not see the code nor do I own a surface pro therefore I can not confirm nor deny it. In other words, I am a poor lonely user with the same access as every other user. LOL.

No wacom tablet pressure sensitivity in LR6

After installing LR6 there is no pen pressure sensitivity with wacom intuos pro tablet (Win 8.1, latest wacom driver)
With LR 5.71 everything was ok.

I have the same problem with a total different Wacom tablet and I am running 10.10.3. I have posted a thread here about it. There are others having the same issue as well: Lightroom 6 bug when using adjustment brush, mask overlay and a Wacom tablet

No pen pressure sensitivity when using paint tool sai

I am using a Portege m750
it seems to not have pen pressure at all, when drawing with all the tools
I am not using the wacom tablet or any wacom products
help is greatly apreciated

More information about the pen issue on the Helix. I talked with Lenovo tech support today and they had nothing to offer in the way of a solution. In fact, the tech I talked with did not have any info that this was a problem. His only advice was to reload the drivers which I have done to no avail.
I have made adjustments in all of the Control Panel pen attibutes and in the preferences menus of most of the drawing programs, all without good result.
I have seen lots of threads for the Surface Pro that complain of exactly the same issues spelled out here - lack of pen pressure sensitivity with Photoshop, SBP and Painter (and PaintTool). I found this tweet from an MS person:
@barbbowman@panos_panay@surface@Windows yes we are actively working with Wacom now, it should be soon. This was posted on the 12th of February.
I also saw posts about Skectchbook Pro (SBP) having its own drivers which, when the Win8 pen drivers are removed or disabled, enable pressure sensitivity on the pen within that program. Don't know if this is relevant.
Many people say this is an Adobe issue, others say a MS issue. Clearly Lenovo has build a machine that CAN do pen pressure sensitivity (as evidenced by the outstanding sesitivity in Fresh Paint) but which is being hindered by the lack of consistent and/or usable drivers either in the OS or in the individual programs.

Unstable Pen Pressure only on Photoshop Windows 8

Hi,
Photoshop CS4 CS5 or CS6 is the only program that is unstable with pen pressure sensitivity, all the other programs work flawlessly (zbrush, art rage, sketchbook, painter, mypaint, etc).
In Photoshop if the stroke is fast enough it will draw the line normally and with pressure, but if the line is drawn slowly it will make 100% pressure just like a mouse behaves.
Here's an example of brush strokes, the black ones are the slow strokes that don't register pressure sensitivity.
This topic has been covered in these 3 posts "Wacom Intuos4 + PS CS4 Pressure problem", ""Pressure Sensitivity Problem with Wacom Bamboo Pen Tablet in Windows 7" and "CS4 32bit & Wacom Intuos 3 - Intermittent Pressure Sensitivity"
The evident solution for Windows 7 is disabling the "Press and Hold" feature on "Pen and Touch" settings, But in Windows 8 disabling this check only makes Photoshop unresponsive to pressure to the extreme that not even a single stroke can be drawn. Only random dots with no direction or pressure sensitivity. This is a big no no.
My computer is a Motion LE 1700 tablet that works with Wacom Tablet PC Drivers, there's only a single driver released for Windows 8 which is ISD_DualTouch_710-8.
Older Windows 7 drivers for Wacom Tablet PC don't recognize the pen. And default drivers from the Motion Computing website don't work with Photoshop.
An in all, the 8 ISD_DualTouch_710-8 driver works flawlessly with all my apps with the exception of Photoshop, causing the weird intermitent sensitivity behaviour.
Thanks!

Lonrot,
I wanted to point out that this will work great on a Motion LE1700 with the keyboard workaround, because it also lacks capacitive touch input.
On newer tablets i.e. Samsung Series 7 slate, ASUS Ep121 Slate, etc. that have dual digitizers with capacitive touch, with the 7.0.9-5 driver, It disables palm rejection. Which forces you to either disable Touch input, or not rest your hand on the screen. So yes, it is still quite broken. But as Anon_A mentioned, it is a problem between Adobe, MS and Wacom. But i did get a reply from Wacom:
Hello Jordan,
Thank you for entering a bug. We are aware of the issue with Photoshop and are working with Microsoft and Adobe for a resolution. We appreciate your patience while we try to come to a resolution.
Thank you,
Sherry Egli-Doster
Wacom Sr SQA Test Tech
www.wacom.com
So i will keep posting to this thread as i hear more on the issue. I have gone back to Windows 7 for the time being due to the need of capacitive touch for my work flow, untill this issue is resolved.
I did want to leave one more thing, for people on Windows 8, that want to use 7.0.9-5 with a dual digitizer input slate. Someone has wrote a program to manually turn on and off capacitive input, you can find the download here
