Photoshop 2.1.2.2 has a bug with Wacom pens (I tried Pro Pen and Art Pen on Cintiq 27QHDT - win7pro) - the preasure does not work. So I came back to version 2.1.2.1

Hi there,

We have made improvements to painting with Win Ink in 21.2.2; resizing brush via Alt+right-click (hover) and Alt+tap to sample color are now instantaneous (no lag), scrubbies are pressure sensitive too. Modifier toast is an OS thing that we are investigating if we can work around or ask again for MS to provide an option to disable. 
Remove `UseSystemStylus 0` from PSUserConfig or remove that file altogether and make sure Win Ink is enabled in Wacom settings. You should be good to go.  `UseSystemStylus 0` is from Win7 days which MS has EOL'd.

Regards,
Sahil

This fixed the preasure sensitivity but the color picker and scrubby zoom are broken. 


For exmaple if  you press Alt and press your Pen tip to the tablet surface without movin the pen (sideways) then it will not pick a color and instead the annoying Window Ink circle appears. Color picking only works if you move your pen when tip touhces the tablet surface.
