Hey guys, ive got a wacom 1 tablet and pen, worked for years but now whenever im in photoshop, put my pen down, draw and then lift my pen, photoshop will not register that my pen is there at all. I have completely updated app and drivers, im on windows, and my tablet works perfectly fine on all other apps on my pc. ive tried reseting preferences on photoshop and fiddling around with turning off and on my windows ink. Please help me out and find out what is making photoshop act weird on me.

I see this sporadic also in Lightroom Classic for years. Untilo now I don't have found any solution for this.

I use a Wacom intuos Pro with the latest tablet driver.

Hey @pigeons5C5F,

That does sound frustrating, and I’d be glad to help troubleshoot this with you. Could you please share your system info? You can find it by going to Help > System Info, then copying and pasting it into a text file to attach here. This will give us a clearer picture to look into it further.
