Question

Upon first instance of opening a file from Lightrooom Classic into Photoshop (when Photoshop was not previously running) the brush pressure sensitivity does not work.

When working with files in Lightroom Classic, selecting “Open As Layers in Photoshop”, when Photoshop was not previously running, the pressure sensitivity of the brush tool with a Wacom tablet does not work. The brush uses the Opacity setting, not the pressure sensitivity. If the file is saved, closed, and then reopened, pressure sensitivity works again. On all files opened after the initial one, pressure sensitivity works. It seems to only not work correctly on the first instance of a file being opened.


This is on a Windows machine, running Windows 11, Photoshop version 27.9.1 and Lightroom Classic version 15.5.

    Hey, @Katy Perry Photography. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I'll need more info to help you figure this out. 

    The specific hardware isn't available to me, so I’ve been unable to reproduce this on my test machine.

     

    Please share a video of the issue and the system info from Photoshop Help > System Info. Copy and paste it into a text document, then upload and attach it here. I'll loop in experts and teammates once we have a video or a numbered list of steps.


    Thanks!
