The function press and hold of my wacom pen still works outside Photoshop but it does not work in Photoshop. It worked well before. What I should do to bring this feature back to my Photoshop?

@Celestial_fan5C71and @kidchuckle I'm having this exact same issue. I've had it as of March 2020. Its was some sort of update that carried over since then. It worked fine around Jan-Feb.

Did you ever find a solution to this that didn't require you disabling Control Panel features that should work and then assign right-click to stylus side button via Wacom? Cause, that doesn't address the problem, just shows how to go about it in an alternative fashion when one doesn't actually know the solution. Personally, I think if the press and hold feature works outside of Adobe programs, but not inside. . . thats a good indication that it's an Adobe issue. I also do not want to lose my radial wheel which I have assigned to the stylus button.

Unfortunately pen hold down. Does nothing for me on the microsoft surface book 2.

I still have to resort to a mouse now to do a right click.

So wacom drivers unfortunately don't help me.

Were you using WinTab with Photoshop and Wacom in the Past and now have to use Windows Ink because Adobe broke Photoshop WinTab support in 21.1. I have always disabled windows press and hold because of how it wrecks Photoshop work-flow.

Use Windows control panel app Pen and Touch check and make sure Press and hold settings have not been disabled. I disable it on my windows machine. Its not a feature I want to use with my Wacom Pen. You can see where I unchecked the feature on mt windows machine.

Hi Tam,

Sorry to hear about the feature not working after Photoshop's recent update, could you please let us know what operating system you're working on?

Also, have you tried updating the wacom's drivers and see if it helps?
