New Surface Book - now pen doesn't work in Photoshop Elements
Last week my Surface Book died; fortunately my workplace policy covered it and I was provided with a Surface Book 3.
On my old machine I'd happily been using Photoshop Elements 13 for illustration purposes. I downloaded this to the new machine but the Surface pen behaves very erratically - making marks that are two inches to the right of where the pen nib touches the screen, and lines jumping wildly, unrelated to where I am drawing.
I've downloaded the trial version of Elements 2021 to see if it is an incompatibility issue with older software but the pen doesn't work at all there either.
I've tried:
- Checking for Microsoft's updates and installing
- Downloading and installing Wintab
- Uninstalling the relevant Human Interface drivers and restarting
None of these have worked.
The pen works in other (non Adobe) programs, eg Affinity Photo, and I can use it for the menus in Photoshop but not for drawing.
I'm half way through illustrating a graphic novel so I really don't want to change the software I'm using and therefore potentially the entire look and feel of my work. Please help.
