I have recently gotten photoshop to color scanned in line art and while drawing, I noticed the lack of line variation. So went to check to turn on pen preasure but when I did, a warning icon appeared next to it. Any ideas as to what this means and how to fix it?

Hover over the warning icon - what does it say?

Hi Kenneth,

Sorry to hear about the pen pressure issue with Photoshop, could you please let us know the version of Photoshop and the operating system you're working with?

Could you please have a look at this article and see if it helps? https://helpx.adobe.com/in/photoshop/kb/tablet-support-faq-photoshop.html

When I start Photoshop open a document and select the brush tool it is normal to see that warning triangle in Brush Tool setting to the left of Control: Pen Pressure till you use your Pen

You should be able to use your Pen and that warning should go away and the brush stroke preview should show tip size tapering. If the warning triangle does not go away check that You Photoshop Version and you pen device driver is configured correctly and use the same Interface API. I use Windows and New and Old version of Photoshop. Old Version of Photoshop only have WinTab API support for pen support. So I configure my Wacom Tablet to use WinTab API with Photoshop and to use Windows INK API for all other Applications. And I Configure Photoshop CC Versions To use WinTab API not windows INK vias PsUserConfig.txt in my userid Photoshop preferences folders.
