Portege z20t no pressure sensitivity in Photoshop CS6

Hey guys. I just bought a Portege z20t which is amazing, but I'm having one small problem. I can't get the pen to work properly in Photoshop CS6.
I downloaded the latest Wacom drivers for the pen and it only gives me erractic pressure sensitivity.
In the 64bit version of PS if I make stroke with the pen 9 times out of 10 there will be no pressure recognition but every once in a while there will be a stroke that works correctly with pressure information.
In the 32bit version there are little icons next to the pressure options indicating that pressure sensitivity is not available.
If anyone has any idea what I can do to fix the problem it will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Which Portege z20t do you have? Please provide the full model number. It is printed on the bottom of the computer. Do not proved the serial number
L305-S5955, T9300 Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, 60GB SSD, Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit

NO pressure Sensitivity in Photoshop CS6 - Genius MousePen 8x6

Greetings
I'm having some problems with my Graphic Tablet Genius MousePen 8x6 using photoshop CS6.
The program doesnt recognize the pressure sensitivity capabilities of the tablet. I check with the driver's tool and the pressure works correctly but inside photoshop CS6 the pressure doesn't work.
I have Installed the latest driver dated from May 2011.
I already contacted the manufacturer if there is an answer but there is no answer about it yet.
The program is up to date with the latest update patches and no effect.
I appreciate your answer.

Well since before to write this i already contacted the manufacturer and there is no answer yet.
Lets hope the manufacturer releases a new driver version more compatible with Photoshop.
I know this because when CS4 were released i had another kind of problem with the tablet and took around 6 or 7 months until they released a driver (back in then a beta and the later stable release) than was suitable.
So far is strange than no one had problems with the tablet but me.
Anyway i'll keep an eye here.

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.

Randomly losing pressure sensitivity in photoshop?

My tablet keeps randomly losing pressure sensitivity, like this:
Every few strokes it throws in one or a few strokes without pressure sensitivity. There seems to be no pattern to this.
The weird thing is that this seems to only be happening in Photoshop - I tried Paint Tool SAI and everything seems to be working fine there.
I use a Wacom Intuos3, Photoshop CS4 and Windows XP. My tablet is five years old and quite beat up, so its entirely possible that this is my tablet's fault, although I find it hard to believe, since it's never glitched on me like this.
Things I've tried and haven't helped:
Re-installing my tablet driver, changed nothing
Changing my tablet pen's nib, nothing changed
Downloading and using the trial version of PS CS5, same problem persisted.
Has anyone had a similar problem? What can I do to fix this?

You said that you reinstalled the tablet drivers. Are they the most current ones from wacom? (didn't specify, so i am asking)
Latest video card drivers (new ones for nov, nvidia) 2 of the 6 drivers that came out in the last 6 months had problems working with PS with some systems. The oct/nov drivers worke great though.
With your speakers are on, does it sound as though the tablet is disconnecting then reconnecting?
The sound your pc would make if you remove and plug back in a usb. though there should be some lag in the brush strokes as it finds the new drivers.
Did this start after a recent update to PS? If not, i assume that your PS is updated.
Are you using more cpu/ram than normal. Open your task manager and see. Also with internet browser closed, are you using internet? It could be malware.
I am jsut wondering if a fresh install of windows would fix the problem. That is often easier then trying to find a software problem. Though like you said, it could be hardware.
Though they are most likley not the problems, it may give you an idea on where to look for the problem.

TM2- no pressure sensitivity in photoshop!

hi guys, i just installed photoshop cs3 , which both do not work when it comes to pressure senstivity, ive tried updating it but still no go, please, need help!

That is the unfortnate side effect to these laptops (aside from overheating issues).
I have a HP Tx2, bought solely to draw on the screen.
Its good for writing and doodling, nothing serious (not that I am aware of). There ARE tablet pc's with pressure sensitivity (motion computing and some Toshiba's) otherwise this laptop wasn't one of them, unfortunately.

Pressure sensitivity in photoshop with Sony Stylus help

I just bought a Sony Vaio Duo 11 slate computer. It comes with a VGP-STD1 stylus where the pressure sensitivity works in Art Rage but not Photoshop. Does Adobe not support the Sony Stylus? It still works but no option for pressure sensitivity. Also no pressure sensitivity in Flash. Is there anything I can do?

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.

Turning off "Use Windows Ink" on Wacom Tablet Properties cause no pressure sensitivity in Photoshop CC 2014.2.0 (Windows 8.1)

Hi there,
As the title describes it's a Photoshop bug not a Wacom driver issue. Interestingly the Lightroom is working fine.
Check this video please:
Photoshop CC 2014 bug com messas graficas - YouTube

Ok, I understand that it is necessary to use the Windows 8 Ink but then why is it works perfectly in Lightroom? It's pretty difficult drawing if I want to start a line with a slow motion and the circle comes up nearly always.
I believe that many Photoshop users use Wacom products. Why don't you talk each other guys (Adobe & Wacom) and try to find a solution even if Microsoft made your life a bit exotic?

Size Jitter isn't changeable in Photoshop CS6

Hi, I'm suffering from a very strange thing, about which I can't find any information on Google. Please help me.
My software information:
OS: Windows 8 64bit
Photoshop: Adobe Photoshop CS6 (Adobe CS6 Master Collection)
As you can see from the screenshot below, after checking the "Shape Dynamics", I still can't change anything about "Size Jitter", nor can I change "Roundness Jitter", as they already become grey and not dragable or clickable.
Under this condition, my drawing tablet can't be pressure-sensitive in Photoshop CS6 64bit, but it can be pressure-sensitive in Photoshop CS6 32bit and other applications.
Is this problem relavant to my tablet driver or to my Photoshop installation? I am hesitated to reinstall my Photoshop because the whole Master Collection takes quite a long time to complete installation.
Thanks for any tips or clues provided!!

I've reset my brush, so "replace current brushes with the default brushes" was taken.

All I can say is I saw a video on their site with someone using Photoshop. From what I saw it looked like a Photoshop version prior to CS6 just going by the light gray interface. http://vk.com/video-41692473_163296586?hash=da039977de98abe9

Hi Kyle Welcome to the Bosto User Group! Thanks for your positive comments about the 19MA's slim profile and drawing ability, so now let's hope we can get all your issues figured out. I am referring this post to Andrey for assistance with your first two points about modifying express keys and pen button. The latest express key drivers are "14WA-19MA_KeyRoll_32bit_041212.zip" and "14WA-19MA_KeyRoll_64bit_041212.zip" - available from www.bosto.co. Regarding the dll error and pressure sensitivity in photoshop CS6, please try these steps as mentioned by Fanly:
Ensure that any Wacom drivers are uninstalled
Ensure that all drawing applications are closed
Install the latest touch panel driver "TouchPanel_Win7_301112.zip" from www.bosto.co
I hope this helps!
Kyle Bennington
Fanly helped get the driver situation fixed now just onto the the express keys then I can ditch using my wacom without drivers and being annoyed lol. Thank you so much for the fast response time, I'm going to try to get my job to get these I hope you come out with larger HD versions and get the driver situation alleviated :). Those are really the only things I'm seeing so far that wacom has over you guys but for the price you guys are knocking it out of the park

Photoshop CS6 Brush pressure sensitivity not working on the Microsoft Surface Pro.

I have just purchased a Microsoft Surface Pro in anticipation of running Photoshop on it. I installed Photoshop and tried to do some sketches. I created a new file and started sketching. I Immediately felt like something was wrong. I checked my brush settings and saw the pressure sensitivity was not available. Everytine I tried to turn it on it was marked with an exclamation point.
Does anybody know if Adobe is supporting the new pressure sensitive pen from microsoft, or if there is some sort of setting that I am missing? I have tried sketchbook pro 2011, and that works amazingly well with the pen. I hope someone can help me along here, because if this tablet can truely run photoshop, it would be a Game Changer.

Just curious.... has any of you tried the shape dynamics in photoshop and turning on pen pressure?
and in illustrator to modify the size to pressure and variation to maximum? (and of course select that brush preset that you just modified and draw with it using SHIFT+B for blob brush or B for regular brush)
I am also interested in purchasing a Surface pro so please report if this helps.
what I recently discovered in other forums is that Sketchbook Pro works flawlessly in desktop mode. Sketchbook Express in the APP mode doesn't support pressure yet.
there is no official confirmation that the surface pro uses a wacom digitizer, however a few artist friends of mine have gone to the microsoft store... brought their own wacom pens (cintiq 15x pen - older models that works with general tabletpcs) and the pro recognized it. which means that it is a wacom digitizer. it wouldn't make sense if a wacom pen works with a different digitizer board like N-trig.
also read in another forum about adobe using wintab and windows 8 wintab drivers are not there yet.
anyway... I'd be glad to know if this works or not
thanks!

Stroke thumbnail view in brush presets panel in CS6 doesn't represent pressure sensitivity

Everytime I open photoshop the stroke thumbnail shows up with lost settings. I can hover my pen over brush presets and press ctrl+F1 and it will change back but when i open up photoshop cs6 it does not show what the brush setting are with the stroke thumnail and I have to do it again. I know how to correct it temporarily but I would like a permanent fix for this as it is quite annoying. I have tried to open it with just my pen from my tablet and it does not help. I am running windows 7. cintiq tablet.

Hey JJMack!
Thank you for your response! Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be my issue. I actually think I may be running into a bug with PS6. It seems like the stroke thumbnail preview might not be receiving the information that there is pressure sensitivity turn on my cintiq.
Here is an example below..
As you can see here the brush I have selected obviously has pressure sensitivity and PS6 is recognizing that. But for some reason that information is not being communicated to the stroke thumbnail preview.
What's even weirder is when you go into that brush's presets the preview below shows the stroke thumbnail fine!
I am wondering if maybe I have some weird preference turned on hidden away somewhere... or if this is an actual bug with the program.
thanks guys!

Uneven pen pressure in Photoshop CS6 Extended with Wacom Intuos5

I got Photoshop CS6 Extended recently, but the lines I draw in it aren't smooth, like they should be (example below).
The tablet produces perfect lines in any other bit of software (Flash, ToonBoom, etc.), but not Photoshop. I've tried lots of different solutions (uninstalling and reinstalling it, reverting back to an earlier driver, clearing preferences, etc.), to no avail. Oddly, my Intuos3 works fine in Photoshop, for a few minutes, before it crashes. If I try to adjust the Wacom Tablet Properties for CS6, it doesn't recognize any changes, but if I adjust the settings for Photoshop CS4, it does. All Wacom Drivers are up-to-date.
Any ideas on how to fix this would be most appreciated.

I've tried all of the above and had no results. I have the exact same issue as you, specially when working with a big brush. Even in the tablet settings panel I can see the sensitivity display go nuts after a certain threshold over 30% of pressure. I tend to use the hardest possible. At this point I think it's probably a hardware problem with the pen or tablet surface but still, I had an intuos 3 for many years without any trouble and the intuos 5 is giving me problems now . Also I replied to you becouse this was kind of the only part of the internet where I could find the exact same issue with a screencap of it. thank's in advance to anyone that have a workaround or news about this!!!

Pressure sensitivity on X230T and trouble with Photoshop

Would anyone know how many levels of pressure sensitivity there are on the X230T?
I ask this because I have just installed Photoshop CS6 and I seem to have many issues sketching. I will be drawwing a series of light lines and then suddenly a big fat line will appear, I will continue sketching and this will happen over and over again.
I am very frustrated since I bought this specifically for Photoshop. Does anyone know why this is happening? I already turned off the "hold pen down to right click" feature, but I continue to have this issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe this could help:
http://www.howtomakeonline.org/EAiRjMoney7gb1yD/Lenovo-ThinkPad-X230T-Touch-And-Digitizer-Pen-Input....
In this 256 levels of pressure sensitivity are mentioned (which would make sense, because it would point to an 8bit ADC in the digitzer for pressure measurement).
If you don't trust this number (as I would do, because it is mentioned only in one occasion in the web (or google search ;-) )) then you could also check the Wacom site for their more low end products and their specs.
Using x230t (i5-3320M, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 80GB mSata-SSD) and loving it!

Can't set up pressure sensitivity in CS6?

I just got my first ever drawing tablet and so I'm having a lot of problems setting up the pressure sensitivity. I have a DigiPro WP5540 and I've installed the driver and the software and everything. In CS6 I go to shape dynamics and it doesn't allow me to do anything. It just has a warning icon next to it:
Does anybody know what this means and how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

It means that your tablet driver is not returning pressure in a way that Photoshop can use.
Many of the knockoff tablets need to update their drivers for each version of Photoshop (and we don't know why).
You should contact the tablet maker and see if they have an updated driver that works with Photoshop.

I am unable to reinstall Photoshop CS6 (I do have the serial number) on my Macbook Pro 10.9.5 (Mavericks os). and am getting the message "Installation on case-sensitive volumes is not supported. Please choose a different volume for installation." I am further told that "Adobe apps cannot be installed on case-sensitive drives, you need to Install the product onto an HFS+ or HFSJ non-case-sensitive drive."
What I don't understand is this: I originally bought and installed Photoshop CS6 back in March 2013, and it worked fine. Yesterday my hard drive had to be replaced and my computer person salvaged as much of what was on it as he could, but now I have to reinstall Photoshop. 1) Why did it work before and it's not working now? 2) Is there anything I can do that does not involve reformatting the hard drive?

It means what it says. The "computer person" formatted it wrongly/ unsuitably. it needs to be formatted again.
