iPad Air 5th Gen, iPen 2, Control by Pen Pressure Requires the Use of a Pressure Sensitive Tablet

I have an iMac running Ventura 13.1, an iPad Air 5th Gen, an iPen 2 and Photoshop v 24.1.1 installed on my Mac. I enabled screen mirroring to the iPad. I get the warning above, Pen Pressure requires the use of a pressure sensitive tablet. None of the pressure sensitive brushes show any pressure sensitivity. I think it has something to do with the warning.

 

I know pressure sensitivity works, because I have Procreate installed on my iPad, and the pressure sensitive brushes work with my iPen.

 

Is this feature not supported yet? Does a setting exist to remove this warning and enable pressure sensitivity? Does anyone have pressure sensitivity working with this hardware configuration?

 

Thanks.

@Lumigraphics I didn't think Sidecar worked either to "fake" a pressure sensitive tablet.

I'm not sure, I have an iPad Air 3 and access to two Macs that can use Sidecar but I haven't tested it myself.

That is not a supported workflow for Photoshop desktop.
