Photoshop CC on Sony's Vaoi Fit15A (pen pressure problems)

This question is very specific. I just downloaded the trial version of Photoshop CC on a new Vaoi Fit15A. It's like a hybrid between a tablet so I can supposedly draw on the screen directly. (So I don't have a pen tablet.) My problem is it doesn't register the pen pressure. I also tried borrowing a wacom bamboo to see if it can feel that, but nope, PS CC still won't recognize the pen pressure even from a pen tab. What should I do? Thanks to anyone who can help!

Hi! Thanks so much for replying
I tried attaching a bamboo create to see if it could sense the pen pressure. Alas, it still couldn't. I already installed the drivers but it still wouldn't.
So um, just letting you know that I did take it to the store where I bought it. They told me that Adobe wasn't keeping up with something something industry-wise. Sorry I'm in Japan and my Japanese isn't that good but basically they told me that I have to wait for Adobe elements 12 (which isn't out yet) before I can hope that my Vaoi recognizes the pen pressure. So they basically told me that Vaoi fit15A, using PS CC, isn't compatible. There's no way I can get pen pressure using that program.
But is this true? Adobe is late that's why I can't get it to work in Vaoi Fit 15A ? They just didn't tell me this because they couldn't get it to work right? When is this "Adobe elements 12" suppose to come out anyway? If I can't get it to work I'll have to return the Vaoi itself since I need my pen pressure working in PS.
Thanks for your time!!!

  • Pen pressure problems in Photoshop with the Yoga Thinkpad

    Hi!
    I'm having problems with uneven pen pressure in Photoshop. When draw a few lines very sensitive some of them get's thick like it was drawn with full pressure when it actually wasn't.
    I installed http://www.wacom.eu/index4.asp?pid=9278&lang=en but still having the same problem
    Is there any fix to this? Is this problem related to the device, to Wacom or Windows 7?

    Adobe supports any working stylus -- but your stylus may not implement all the APIs needed for applications like Photoshop.
    Most likely you'll need to contact Sony and see if they have updated drivers for their stylus to support professional graphics applications.

  • Sony Vaio Tap 11 Pen Pressure issues?

    Hey everyone, I have a Sony Vaio Tap 11 and for some reasno the Pen Pressure feature isnt functioning within Adobe Products, I have tested it in another program and it worked fine, just not in Adobe products. Any suggestions?

    I remembered coming across threads on issues with Sony Vaio, that they were about other models had been unclear to me.
    But does Mr.Cox assessment
    If the driver isnt' reporting pressure correctly, then it won't work in Photoshop.
    The other 2 apps you mention use a different API for pen pressure -- so probably the older API is broken in your driver.
    You'll probably have to go through Sony for driver updates.

    not probably also apply in your case?

  • PSE 7 Pen pressure problem

    I have been using a Bamboo tablet and PSE 7 with no problems until recently. I just purchased and set up a Cintiq 21ux DTK2100 as a secondary monitor. I updated the latest driver directly from Wacom. Now when I use PSE, pen pressure wont work the way that it used to on the line thickness. The pressure I put on the pen will vary the opacity of my lines but not the thickness of the line even though I have Size and Opacity checked off. What do I have to do? Please help.

    I'll continue trying different drivers, but it looks like this is a Photoshop issue to me.
    Clearly, the tablet doesn't lose sensitivity when I'm working in either Adobe Flash or Paint Tool SAI.  I've sadly had to turn to Paint Tool SAI to work around this problem.  I'd much prefer to use Photoshop, with which I have the bulk of my experience.  I purchased Photoshop CS5 for my Mac.
    Since my Mac has been starting to give me trouble, I've been working on my PC.  I was hoping to upgrade my version of Photoshop, but if this product isn't going to work the way it should, I'm just not going to purchase it.
    I understand this is frustrating, but, from my perspective it's clearly an issue inherent to Photoshop.  My tablet drivers work fine in other programs that use pressure sensitivity.  The artifacting seems above only occurs in Photoshop.
    Is there a way I could try previous versions of Photoshop in order to see if, perhaps, it's CS6 that doesn't like my tablet?
    Again, I'm sorry if I sound critical, but I'm frustrated.  Just really want Photoshop to behave like it should.
    Thanks again Chris,

  • CS4 and pen pressure problem

    When drawing with the brush or the clone stamp brush now and then strokes are drawn at full pressure even though that is not the case. The next strokes are ok again for a while and then again... a few strokes like they there was no pen pressure. Very annoying when retouching masks.
    I already installed the latest Wacom driver but no joy.
    What else could I try?
    My graphics card doesn't have OpenGL capacities so I don't think that's the problem or could it?
    Also CS4 is much slower than CS3 in updating the screen. Related?
    Tips welcome...
    I am a long time user of Photoshop (since 2.5) but I think CS4 will be the first upgrade I will skip although I love the new adjustments and masks panels...
    Windows XP Pro, 4 Gigs of Ram, Matrox Millenium card, plenty of sratch disk space.

    I had exactly the same problem with my Wacom Intuos 3 tablet.
    The solution is to go into Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Management>Device Manager>Human Interface Devices and disable Wacom Virtual Hid Driver.
    I found that somewhere on the Wacom site and it does it for me.
    I'm not sure but I think it started when I updated the Wacom drivers to try and solve another problem.
    Can I ask, if you press CNTRL-ALT-DEL to start task manager, does that disable your pen until you select the Task Manager button? That came with the latest driver too.

  • Photoshop Pen Pressure Issues

    I'm not actually sure that this is the correct place to post this. I don't have a question per se, as I've fixed the problem, but I would like to address an issue with Photoshop and my pen tablet and hopefully help others who might have the same problems. I recently built a new computer and, upon installing my Wacom Bamboo and Photoshop, found myself unable to use the pen pressure settings in Photoshop, which had previously worked just fine on my old machine. I tried everything I could find on the web to fix the problem: reinstalling the tablet drivers, installing old driver versions, turning on and off various settings, nothing worked, when finally I stumbled across a post by someone who offhandedly mentioned that they started Photoshop with their pen, instead of their mouse, and that their pressure settings worked just fine. I was kinda skeptical that such a trivial-seeming thing could be the fix, but I tried it, and lo and behold, it worked! If anyone here knows why I'd be interested in knowing, just for the sake of curiosity, but I hope this simple fix can save some time and frustration for other users.

    Photoshop CC 2014 changes stylus use to use Microsoft system API's, with these API's you need to have Windows Ink enabled. These API's give better stroke results and improve the out of the box experience for users using Windows tablet/convertible devices. If you want to go back to the old WinTab implementation of previous versions do the following:
    Create a file that contains instructions to revert to the WinTab functionality.
    Create a text file in a text editor such as Notepad.
    Type in the following lines:
    # Use WinTab
    UseSystemStylus 0
    Save the file as a plain text file named PSUserConfig.txt, and save the file into the Photoshop settings folder: C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 Settings\.
    To turn off the gestalt's functionality, delete the PSUSerConfig.txt file. Or, move it to a different folder if it doesn't contain any other commands, or change the lines so they read:
    # Use Win8 native tablet support
    UseSystemStylus 1

  • Surface Pro 3 no pen pressure in CS6?

    I have just purchased a Surface Pro 3 and have downloaded Adobe Suite, particularly to use Photoshop CS6.
    However, I have no pen pressure in Photoshop CS6! It's incredibly frustrating!
    I can draw with the Surface Pen, but there is no pressure sensitivity - even when I switch sensitivity on. (I am experienced using Photoshop and understand how to use these functions).
    The Surface Pen seems to be working fine in all other applications.

    You say the pen is "working fine" in all other applications, but does this mean you're getting pressure sensitivity in other applications?
    I just got a SP3 a couple of months ago and as I recall, once you calibrate it and pair it the Surface Pen will function, but without pressure sensitivity. After doing some research I ended up downloading and installing the N-trig Wintab driver and I now have pressure sensitivity in a variety of art programs, e.g. Photoshop CC & CC 2014, ArtRage, Sketchbook Pro, Manga Studio 5, and Painter 2015.
    I understand that Microsoft has now released Surface Hub, an app that enables sensitivity adjustment and is available in the Microsoft store. My impression is that you would install this for newer apps and only if you have not already installed the Wintab driver. The Surface Hub seems to be getting mixed reviews.
    See this Microsoft page for further information and links: http://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/support/touch-mouse-and-search/troubleshoot-surface -pen#pressure

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • Erratic pen pressure with Wacom Intuos 3 in CS4

    Very light paint strokes on my Wacom Intuos 3 produce a full force stroke in CS4 every 3 to 15 strokes.  Anybody else have this problem?
    This does not happen with CS2.  Also, using the Wacom diagnostics, I can make endless light strokes and never see the pressure go above 16%.
    I'm using CS4 11.0.1, Wacom driver 6.1.1-3, Nvidia GeForce 6800 with drivers updated 8/10/2009, Windows XP.
    Thanks,
    -Rob

    Wacom has just released a new driver version that some say has cleared up the pen pressure problems:
    http://www.wacom.com/en/CustomerCare/Drivers.aspx?model=Intuos3&os=Windows+7
    EDIT:  I no longer see the June 2011 driver on that site.  It was there earlier today!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Is there a way to change how Photoshop handles pen pressure per stroke?

    I'm a digital illustrator, and at current I have to switch between Corel Painter and Photoshop for my work flow, but for only one seemingly simple reason. Painter obviously has reproducing natural media at its heart, and as such some of the dry media functions (charcoal, pencil, pastel, etc.) work with an absolute pressure basis. No matter how many times you go over a swathe of pixels or pick up your pen, opacity/flow is determined solely by pressure.
    Photoshop on the other hand functions more like wet media, with the assumption that you're picking up more paint with every lift of the pen.
    Now here's the real kicker, I'm not a big fan of Painter. I'm more comfortable with Photoshop and I've found plenty of ways to get past texture and blending issues with the wonderful open ended brush tools and a couple fancy plugins, but I can't get around this. I learned art as a dry media artist, and as such my hand and brain don't compute a slight lift off the tablet with gathering more color.
    So to put it simply: Is there a way to adjust Photoshop's pen pressure from pen pressure = opacity x stroke to just pen pressure = total opacity?
    Because I would stop buying Painter if Photoshop had this option.
    Thanks in advance for any input!

    Don't know any 'automatic' way - but, i have "Fetch Headers only" set on each of my 'secondary accounts'.
    With varying internet service, manual "Get Messages" is probably the "Best Practice" because you will know how good your service is before you even try.
    maybe set "Check for new messages every 'n' minutes" to different times
    (3 minutes, 6 minutes, etc.) on each 'secondary' account.

  • 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:
