Question

Photoshop Elements 2025 not working properly with Wacom Intuos Pro Medium tablet

I recently bought a new Dell computer, running on Windows 11, and have been trying to run Photoshop Elements 2025 on it, along with a new Wacom Intuos Pro Medium 2025 tablet--the tablet seems to be working properly, but when I try to use it with Photoshop Elements 2025 I encounter two issues: either the pen pressure sensitivity doesn't work at all, or the cursor doesn't track/calibrate properly to where the pen is interacting with the tablet. The tracking/calibration problem seems to only occur in the canvas area as well.

 

Also, both problems occur at the same time when running Photoshop. For example, if I try to use the brush or eraser tool on a canvas, at first the pen pressure won't work, then it will suddenly decide to turn on, but where the brush tool actually draws/makes brush marks is not where my cursor is on the canvas, then it will go back to the pen pressure not working. 

 

I have tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling both Photoshop Elements 2025 and the tablet driver, as well as resetting the settings and preferences for both Photoshop and the tablet driver, but nothing has worked so far. The tablet even seems to work perfectly normal in other art programs--it seems that Photoshop Elements is the only thing that won't work properly with the tablet.

 

Has anyone else encountered any similar issues? Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have a Wacom Cintiq Pro 24, and have the same problem. Updated to the latest Wacom drivers.

Photoshop Elements 2020 is working perfectly with pen pressure, but PSE 2025 registers all pen touches as 100% pressure.

I have the Tablet > Pressure setting enabled.

Did you manage to fix this?
