Toggle pen pressure in flash cc

Hello,
I feel quite foolish, but I cannot find the "pen pressure" or "pen sensitivity" or any setting enabling use of a tablet in Flash CC. I have scoured forums for the past few hours and noticed a lot of issues with tablets not functioning... but I can't find any settings to alter other than "smoothing." In the preferences in Flash under "Drawing" there are no settings. When you select the brush and the properties window appears, there are no options to select pen pressure or tilt. If I'm not mistaken it used to be right under the timeline. Looked like a stylus with a target underneath it and you simply.... clicked it.
Either I'm dumb or insane, but I wouldn't think this would be an issue. My tablet has all the latest drivers and works fine in other abode software.
I'm at a loss. Help my Obi Wan, or Adobe Admin, or kind stranger. Whoever you are. I'll bake you some digital muffins.

It appears I am both dumb AND insane. I found a solution. Since I'm working on a laptop, the toolbar is scrunched into a strip. When I move it and expand it the tilt and pen pressure options appear.
Thanks, me. You are great.

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

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,

Random Pen Pressure in PS CS4

Hi, I have a intuos3 with updated drivers. The pen pressure works fine with other programs(illustrator, flash, wacom settings program, etc). But in Photoshop, the pressure recognition is random. Half of the time it works fine, but other times it does not. If I make 10 lines, about 4 of them will not recongnize pen pressure. When it doesn't recognize pen pressure, it will just make a line as if I'm pressing down full strenght all the way. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Chris, I have the latest drivers for my Wacom and I have played with all the setting for the Pen/Tablet in Control Panel. Still no luck. And the pressure sensitivity works fine in other programs. It's only in Photoshop that this ransom pressure recognition problem exists. Any other ways I can fix it?

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.

PS CS3 responding to Pen Pressure instead of Pen Tilt, Cintiq 21ux

Hi,
I'm using a cintiq 21ux with PS CS3. When I choose to have brush size controlled by pen tilt, it instead responds to pen pressure (but still lists the control as pen tilt). Corel does recognize pen tilt appropriately, however. Is there a problem with Photoshop or my tablet, and how can I fix this?
Thanks,
CW

Just had this issue with the latest drivers from Wacom (6.3.11-4a) and my old Intuos 3 and found a solution.
It seems any time Wacom updates their drivers, it breaks pressure sensitivity in a random adobe application. This has been happening since.. well.. forever. Wacom and Adobe need to get their **** together.
I fixed my issue by installing an older wacom legacy driver (6.1.7-3). I didn't try any other versions, this one just happened to work for me. You might need to try multiple older versions.
Legacy Drivers | Wacom
My Steps:
- Download an older legacy driver (6.1.7-3 worked for me)
- Unplug your tablet USB
- Uninstall your wacom driver
- Restart
- Install the old driver
- Plug in your tablet and let windows do its thing
- Pressure sensitivity should be working now
I was also having issues with the color picker in Flash CC taking a while to load when using the tablet. That seems to have been fixed as well.
Hope this helps!

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.

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!!!

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.

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

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:

Problem With Cintiq Pen Pressure in CS5

Hey folks,
When using my Cintiq 12WX (using the latest drivers) on the CS5 I've found a strange quirk pops-up every now and then: sometimes it doesn't recognize/register the pen pressure and it goes from a thin line to solid flat line randomly. Like if one was using a mouse. I've searched the net to see whether this is an issue with the cintiq; the drivers for it; photoshop CS5 or any combination thereof and to see if there's a solution.
Unfortunately, all I've been able to find is that the issue most likely resides with CS5 and that there isn't any real solution. Here's a link to the wacom forums of a fellow who's dealing with the very same problem: http://forum.wacom.eu/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5606
I hope that by inquiring here, on the adobe forums, that perhaps a solution can still be found. Perhaps someone here has dealt with this and has found a fix? Of course, if there isn't any fix to be found I also hope that perhaps this can com to th attention of those working on photoshop itself and that a fix can eventually be cooked up.
Thanks!

As far as we are aware, the problem is in the Wacom driver code.
Please check with Wacom for updates.

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
