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:
Thank you for your time!

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.

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

Pen pressure not working. Tried everything.

Tried techniques in both Adobe and Corel.
Any suggestions on how to get the pen pressure to work would be greatly appreciated!

Notably Wacom has *just* released a new driver for their tablets to correct pen pressure issues, and at least one person has reported that it has corrected pen pressure problems.
I haven't read too carefully here, and I don't know if their driver could help you directly. I just mentioned it because you said you saw Wacom people reporting problems too.

Edit: Touchscreen not working with photoshop cs5

When using photoshop cs5, I am unable to use any tool properly when using the touch screen.
Using the touchscreen, I am able to select the tool and other buttons, but when i attempt to draw with the brush tool, dragging a stylus across the screen does not create a line, and only visual feedback is seen. Dots can be drawn, ad the only way a line can be created is to double-click and drag which does not always work and is irritating to use.
Please help, I have tried searching for a long while and even contacted computer support but they directed me here. I am unable to find a suitable driver, as suggested on the troubleshooting page or any other solution. Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks.
Computer: Asus Vivobook S550CM
System: Windows 8

This have been touch on many times here. There are two api use to support touch type devices like tablets and touch screens. The API that many touch screen tablet and computers use lack features Adobe Pen support uses example the API does not support things like pen tilt. Therefore Adobe does not support this API. You need a device driver for you touch screen that user the API Adobe uses for tablet support.

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

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.

My 3D is not working in Photoshop CS5. All of the options are greyed out

Hi,
I just installed the photoshop CS5 but find out my 3D is not working, all of the options are greyed out. I have checked on the openGL menu in preference but still not work. I have core i7 and intel HD graphics 3000 with up to 1760MB dynamic video memory. please help

Is the active document RGB?
Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels/Menus visible?

Windows "Open with..." not working for Photoshop/CS5.5

I use the "Open with..." command in the Windows right-click context menu all the time to open .jpg and other image files in Photoshop. I don't want to directly associate .jpgs, etc, to Photoshop because most of the time I just want to view them quickly in Windows Photo Viewer. But every once in a while, I need to open one in PS, so I had been using the "Open with..." menu command. This worked fine in every version of CS that I've ever used.
Until, all of a sudden, when I installed CS5.5, "Open with..." no longer works. Right-clicking on a .jpg, for instance, doesn't even show Photoshop as a valid option for an application in which to open the file (not in the "Recommended Programs" list or even the "Other Programs" list). So I have to go and browse for an "Additional Program". I'm using Windows 7 64-bit, but whether I choose the photoshop.exe in Program Files or Program Files (x86), the jpg still just opens in the default application (Windows Photo Viewer).
Same for PDFs (opening in either Photoshop or Illustrator).
PSDs open fine, directly, when I double-click the file.
This really seems like a CS issue, since "Open with" still works fine for other non-Adobe applications.
How can I get my "Open with" menu to "see" Photoshop again as a valid option and pass the filename correctly so that it actually opens the file?
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks much!

Nope. I'd done that many many times, and it never "stuck". No matter how many times I browsed for the exe, whether I checked "Always use the selected program..." or not, the jpg still opened in Photo Viewer.
Turns out, this thread showed up on the "More like this" widget in the righthand of these forums when I had submitted my post, and that answered my question. Why the thread never showed up when I was actually searching for an answer, I'll never know.
As per that thread, you have to go in and manually set/update the registry key
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell\open\command
to point to the path of the most recent Photoshop (in my case, C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe). I guess this is something that the CS5.5 installer fails to do under certain circumstances. It was still pointing to the path of my CS5, which was no longer valid.

Pen pressure not recognized in Photoshop CC 2014?

Hello all. I recently bought a Monoprice tablet and pen pressure works across all other programs I've tried except Adobe products. I'm really mystified; I just want to be able to draw in Photoshop and make graphics more easily in Illustrator!
It's especially frustrating because I absolutely KNOW that I have the correct drivers and installation, etc. The tablet works flawlessly in programs like Opencanvas.

The feature "Save as" is not working in Photoshop CS5

Hello, I've downloaded Photoshop CS5 in trial mode but the "feature" "Save as" and "Save" are not working, I can't save my work, is it a restriccion for being in the trial mode?. I'm using Windows XP sp2 with 1.5 Gb RAM, 100 Gb HD and 2.6 Ghz Intell processor. Before the Photoshop CS5 I had installed the CS4 Suite and was working perfectly well. Could you help me with this?.
Thanks

The trial version is the same as the full version except
for the 30 day limitation.
I think on windows xp you need sp3 for cs5 to work as expected.
Anyway that's what is says here:

That may not be the problem, but it's a good place to start.
Also it's not a good idea to post your email on the forums.

Pen pressure not working???

Yeah so, just the other day I was using my brush with pen pressure, but now its not working!!
I have no clue how that happened either!!
I keep trying to apply the pen pressure to the brush tool, but it doesn't show that there is any sensitivity to the brush! :O
I don't think its the tablet that is acting up, cause it seems to be working normal.
So I have no clue whats wrong with it!! I don't have to change the size jitter tho right? Cause I never had to before.
I had put in the control box at the top that I wanted to have pen pressure so that couldn't be the problem either.
I tried resetting the menus, and then setting the pallets back to defult, but neither helped.
Any ideas at this point would be helpful thoooo. Need to finish my works soon!!

Yeah thats exactly how I had it, but it won't show for some reason that I added that attribute to the brush???
Maybe restarting the computer will help??

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.

Brush and Pencil tool not working in Photoshop CS5 trial

I dowloaded the Photoshop CS5 trial yesterday 2 days ago. Everything worked perfectly yesterday. Unfortunately, today...the brush and pencil tool doesn't work. Anyone have any idea why?

We need a few more details like what doesn't work
with the brush or pencil tools.
Provide a screenshot if you feel that would help illustrate the problem.

Intuos Pen Tablet keystroke shortcuts/pen properties not working in Photoshop

Recently got the Intuos Creative Pen Tablet from Wacom but the keystroke shortcuts I set up for the pen in Photoshop are not recognized in Photoshop. Instead, the pen acts with the properties found under the "All other applications" tab. Anyone know how to fix this?

It's a nightmare trying to keep up with all the name changes Wacom are giving their products. I don't even know what I own anymore. Only what I used to own befoer I apparently owned something else.
From what I can see on the Wacom site, this tablet doesn't have Express keys or wheel. So does it rely on keyboard shortcuts, or does it have a HUD you can pick things from? If thisa is a new installation, have you tried restarting the computer to make the new properties take? What version of Photoshop are you using? And does the tablet properties recognize that version of Photoshop? Did you add Photoshop to the properties? If so, could you be using say the 32bit version, having set the tablet properties to the 64bit version?

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.
