Question

Lightroom Classic 9.1 / Windows 10 - enable Wacom pen pressure?

Hello

 

This seems to be a very old issue but I can't find any solution! Surely a 4 year old problem has been fixed by now?

 

I've just bought a Wacom Intuos Small tablet and pen and in Lightroom theres a lag on pen movement - it doesn't register movement until it has moved quite a distance. This is very obvious while trying to click and drag sliders or use spot healing tool. This issue seems to well known and is resolved by disabling Windows Ink... but that disables pressure sensitivity which is the main reason to want to use a pen and tablet!

 

Does anyone know how to fix this issue and maintain pressure sensitivity? It seems that in Photoshop it's possible to use an older Wintab to provide pen pressure functionality instead of Windows Ink but no such possibility exists for Lightroom and Windows Ink just doesn't work!

Have a look at the later posts in this thread https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/no-pressure-sensitivity-in-lr9-for-wacom-intuos-pro as it may give you some aspects to check on your system (e.g. latest, driver, flow setting, etc)

Hello. No if you read that thread fully it doesn't actually solve the problem - he says the lag still remains!

Pressure sensitivity is actually working but the pen is totally unusable due to the delayed movement issue - when drawing or trying to move a slider nothing happens until the pen has moved about a centimetre. That issue is fixed by disabling Windows Ink but that also disables pressure.

 

It all works fine in Photoshop, just Lightroom has this delayed movement bug.

 

My Windows, Lightroom and Wacom drivers are all fully up to date
