X230T Pen pressure for Windows 8

I'm extremely happy I was able to get the pen pressure in fresh install windows 8 It took me about 15 hours tests and 2.5 GB of downloading different drivers. Everyone is probably waiting to get to work so
1) Download and install the Wacom drivers http://cdn.wacom.com/U/drivers/TabletPC/ISD_DualTouch_710-8.zip
2) Restart
3) In the Device Manager to uninstall HID-compliant mouse and user control device HID-compliant and compatible with all HID device, LEAVE WACOM DEVIC, NO RESTART AND NO REFRESH
4) re-install the Wacom driver
5) Just restart
6) WORK
I was so annoyed with finding a solution, so I decided to sign up and share the good news

i tried ...didnt work
did i do something wrong
btw... the stylus im using is from an older thinkpad. its the one with the grey eraser instead of the red. could this be the problem? but it was working well in win 7..

Disable tablet pen pressure for eraser tool in PSE 10?

Hi, I recently bought PSE 10.
I have an Intuos 3 Wacom tablet and whenever I switch to the Eraser tool, in the brush preview icon (top left corner) I see this ~ type of a shape with narrow-pointy edges, indicating that the size-pen-pressure feature is on.
This is always true, even when I switch off all the per-pressure options via the Brush tool.
Can anyone hint how to control or at-least disable the pen-pressure feature while in the Eraser tool?
Thank you.

One way would be to use the Basic Brushes which are not set for any pressure functions by default.
Or if you need a special brush you could save the brush without any pressure settings with the brush tool selected
and those settings should carry over for the eraser tool.
Also, you can set the mode to clear with the brush tool and that will act like the eraser tool set on the brush mode.

Adobe Ink pen software for Windows? Or just Mac?

I am in a pinch for time and knowledge, so I imagine someone can answer this quickly. I want the Adobe Ink/Slide hardware and software for my IPAD - I think it has great functionality.
My second question is can I also use the Ink Stylus in the Windows environment too? I see the "Adonit" Company actually manufactures the equipment for the Adobe program, so I wanted to know if I could interchange this digital stylus between my Mac's and Window's computers. Or, do I need another style stylus such as the others that Adonit manufactures. If you wouldn't mind, check out this website and let me know your feelings. In other words, I need to digitally sign things in both the Mac and Windows environment both but I'd rather not go broke on hardware.

(for my IPADS - I'm assuming this hardware is not Windows compatible??)
http://store.adonit.net/products/jot-touch
(Do I need this one for Windows computers?, or is this stylus Windows based??)
Please advise, have a wonderful weekend.

Ink and Slide are not meant to be used with Windows or Mac computers, they are designed for use with iPad.

How to set pen pressure for Wacom tablet in AI if pressure greyed out

Wanted to share how to get pressure sensitive stroke in AICC. Go to "new brush" under brush window, and select "new calligriphic brush". There you will find it's settings, one of which is for pressure. However, it will remain greyed out unless you go to the Wacom tablet properties menu, and add AI to that list(AI must be open-then press the+ sign, and select it from the liset of open applications). Once you see AI in the applications menu, please select it. Then try creating the "new calligriphic brush" once again, and this time the pressure should be available!! Now play around with settings a bit (that's a must is you want a varied line).....took me an hour to figure this out-so hope this helps someone!!!!!

Well, it took me *some* time to get around to work on this, but I succeeded at my first attempt (amazing!), so here is my udev rule (I have followed partly pauldonnelly's suggestion and partly the wiki):
BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="event*", ATTRS{product}=="CTF-420 V2.0-0", SYMLINK+="tablet", MODE="0664"
Then I have configured my xorg.conf to look for the device on /dev/tablet.
I will put a SOLVED sign on this thread.
Thanks again, pauldonnelly

"pen pressure requires the use of a pressure sensitive tablet" in WINDOWS 8.1

old problem but different system
"control by pen pressure requires the use of a pressure sensitive tablet"
I have a problem with it. There is problem when i using my Intuos pro or Cintiq 22 and my version of photoshop is CC.
Can somebody help me with this? hope for some simple solution ; )

If I recall correctly I solved this problem by things I found on the internet. However this is for Windows 7 and it has been a long time ago...
Don't know if it is still appropriate but here goes:
Windows Prof:
Run “gpedit.msc” (click start, in the box closest to the button type “gpedit.msc” without quotes)
Click User Configuration, then drop down Administrative Templates, then drop down Windows Components, then drop down Tablet PC. Finally click “Cursors”
Now double-click Turn off pen feedback. Click the radio button “enable” and click ok.
Windows Home:
circle1
Press the windows key
type "pen and touch" and press enter
In the window that appears, left-click the entry "Press and hold" and click "settings".
Uncheck "Enable press and hold for right-clicking".
Click OK on both windows to close them
circle2
Press the windows key
type "computer management" and press enter
In the window that opens, Double click "Services and Applications" in the centre column
Double click "Services" in the centre column
Scroll down and double click "Tablet PC Input Service"
Find the "Startup type:" dropdown box and change it to "Disabled".
Click OK, then close the Computer Management window
Restart your PC
After your PC loads up again, one of two things should happen: either your tablet works happily and circle-free, or it doesn't work at all. If it doesn't work at all, you now need to download and install the proper driver for it (to replace the Microsoft one that you just disabled). If you use a wacom, you can find the driver for your tablet here.

I have Wacom Intuos 4, and for some reason pen pressure isn't working with PSE 10

I can still use wacom tablet pen to draw in Photoshop Elements 10, but I am frustrated because I could not get lines thinner and thicker with more pressure I apply with the pen like I could with Photoshop Elements 7 - and I had already checked "size" in the tablet setting in PSE 10. I also made sure I set up my Wacom Tablet Properties to apply to Photoshop Elements 10, and I still can't vary the lines like I want.   Any suggestions? (also, could it be because I unwittingly bought and installed 34 bits PSE 10 in my 64-bit computer with Window 7 - is that what is preventing PSE 10 from making lines thin and thick with pen pressure?)
Thanks for your help.

photodrawken, I went to Wacom website and looked up the latest driver. I see Driver 4.60 for Windows -- will that work on my 64 Windows 7?   (The information didn't mention which Windows, but did warned not to install it on Window Vista 64.)

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

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

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

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.

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:

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

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 issues with CS6

So, I'm having an odd issue with my tablet and its pressure sensitivity with CS6. I've got a Genius MousePen tablet; M508W model. I can use it on my mac computer with photoshop elements; pen pressure works just fine with it. In CS6, when I do the stroke preview for all of my burshes, it shows the tapering-- as well as in the brush settings. When I go to make an actual rush stroke though, it doesn't apply the pressure settings. I've got the most recent drivers for the tablet downloaded, All of the old driver software was uninstalled, I've made sure that the drivers are for my version of windows, I've tried setting the compatability back to windows 7 and using the windows 7 drivers, but STILL nothing. The only reason I'm lead to believe that this is an issue with CS6 is that the tablet works with PS Elements just fine. If anyone could help shed some light on the situation, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I am having a similar issue.
Working in CS6 on a Cintiq Companion.
Pressure sensitivity disappears while I'm working.
The only way to get it back is to quit out of Photoshop and relaunch.
The pressure sensitivity works fine in Autodesk Sketchbook.
