P: Pen Pressure not working with Huion devices with Photoshop v 25.0 & above

I noticed that with the arrival of the new update for 2024, the pen pressure has stopped working and even in general the program is quite laggy, when you make a stroke or use the lasso tool for a short period of time it freezes and does not let you continue, hindering the workflow, I am using a Huion Kamvas 13 and the pen pressure works with any other program like Clip Studio, Krita even works in Illustrator.
But I can't get it to work again in Photoshop.
Searching for solutions in forums and videos I HAVE TRIED THE FOLLOWING METHODS:

-Have the pen pressure checkbox active in the brush settings.
-Verify that the Window Ink checkbox is active from the Huion driver.
-Even try with the famous text file "# Use WinTab UseSystemStylus 0".

None of this has solved my problem, I honestly can't say in which update specifically I noticed this error, but I know it was from this year's update.

I am a bit frustrated as I have not been able to work properly and I need to resolve it.

Thanks

I've been ahving issues where photoshop 2024 isn't working with pen pressure anymore. I've tried using the PSConfig txt file in the photoshop settings as well as disabling and re enabling windows ink in the Huion settings under the digital pen settings. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled Huion's driver to see if that would work as well but nothing has worked so far. Has anyone else come up with a solution to this problem?

 

Thanks!

I wanna say, the steps here shared by Sameer K helped me, hopefully, they help you. I was very frustrated and this is a temporary solution like they all are so hopefully, someone makes an update (whether that be on PS or Huion's part) to fix this issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/huion/comments/1aqmhel/to_those_who_are_currently_experiencing_freezes/?share_id=1Q-mY0Fk9FF6g0x2vxHnO&linkId=100000245326670

So sorry! I posted twice and the wrong link. I am so out of it today.

Not at all. I went here seeing as someone replied to you and I have yet to be replied to, unfortunately. Hoping for something or I'll probably ask for a refund soon.

Hi, have you had any update on this problem?
I find it interesting that 90% of the utility I was getting out of this program has gone with the pen pressure and adobe is not really interested in providing a solution.
My work depends on it and it doesn't even work properly.
I will try as a last resort to format my computer in hopes that it will be fixed.

I have been going through the same issue for about 3 weeks now and I haven't been able to fix it either. I even tried reinstalling previous versions of Photoshop, making sure all drivers are up-to-date, using different drawing tablets (Huion Inspiroy H1060p and Huion HS64) and though the tablets work with different programs, pressure sensitivity doesn't work in Photoshop.

 

It has been very frustrating to deal with and if anyone can find a solution, please let us know.

Could someone please help me?

I'm having this trouble for some time now. Pen pressure would just stop working everytime I'd restart my PC. I would resolve this by reinstalling the tablet's drivers, but this isn't working anymore. I have already reinstalled both photoshop and huion's drivers, but pen pressure is still not working.

 

Also, there's this exclamation point notification on the brush settings.

Hey, @rafaelm49852066. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I'll need more specific info about this, and I'll help you figure this out. Please share the system info from Photoshop Help > System info > Copy & paste into a text document > upload & attach here.

 

I've done some research & there are multiple conversations in other (non-adobe) communities that started around the time you've posted that report similar behavior with Huion devices working with Adobe & non-Adobe apps too. 

 

For now, you can try disabling WindowsInk from the Huion Driver software & create a config file for Photoshop following the steps shared here: https://adobe.ly/3P1qoZA

 

Let me know how it goes. Thanks!

I'm having the same issues, I have made a file for Photoshop called "PSUserConfig.txt", turned Windows ink on and off for my Kamvas 20 and even reinstalled Photoshop / restarted my PC numerous times. I hope this gets addressed or updated, as I just got my subscription and I'm thinking of canceling if I cannot use my stylus. 

I've attached as you have asked of the other person, as I'm having the same issue with the error signs and no pressure, hopefully we can get a temporarily solution at the least until it's resolved!
