Pen pressure not working in Fresco

Hello.

As said in the title, my pen pressure don't work in Fresco, and I don't know how to resolve this problem.

I got the same problem in Photoshop. but I find a solution by creating a "PSUserConfig.txt" file in my "...\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2021\Adobe Photoshop 2021 Settings" folder with this line in it :
# Use WinTab UseSystemStylus 0 WarnRunningScripts 0

Do you know if there an equivalent solution for Fresco ? Or an another way ? I did try to desactivate windows Ink (not really sure if I was successful at that), but I got no good result.

I'm on windows 10, using a Huion Kamvas. Drivers for the tablet, and the graphic cards are up to date.

Thank you.

Correct answer broacher

Just a note from my experience in trying to fix an XP-Pen Artist Pro 15.6 tablet with this problem.

I tried creating that PSUserConfig.txt as instructed with the line copied and pasted in and -- didn't work.

Tried again by adding line breaks between the commands, like this:

# Use WinTab

UseSystemStylus 0

WarnRunningScripts 0

And... that WORKED! Thought I would share that with other users.

Also to add in the list of tips with XPPen tablets:
If you want to add Fresco to the list of apps with a custom set of shortcuts, rollers etc, you'll find that you cannot link it to the available apps (simply because it's an App, not a program in Windows lingo, meaning you can't find it in C: programs files

So the way to do it is to open Fresco , open the XP pen utility, click + on the top bar and do not browse but scroll the list of available programs instead. The last one will be Fresco
If fresco is not open, it won't show...

I already shared it earlier but thought it would be a nice reminder...

I'm not sure about photoshop, but in fresco pc, there seems to be brushes that pressure not working, and brush with pressure working.

and I thought windows pen would be unnecessary, but it was necessary....

Windows ink is indeed what it needs.

For me what worked since windows ink interferes with other programs like browsing etc i have windows ink turned off for everything except adobe programs. fresco is harder to find on the pc as it is a hidden file, if you turn on show hidden files you can find it here (i solved this thanks to another thread where they were looking for the source file for a different reason so credits to the finder!) )
C:\Users\COMPUTERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps
YOU NEED TO MAKE HIDDEN FILES VISIBLE

you can then use this path in your tablet mapping properties to specifically turn on for fresco if the menu allows for specific turn on or off of windows ink (and others).

I remember that thread! 😉

I have an XP pen, and here is how it looks on the settings. The Windows ink tick box should be on each App/program tab so people can decide what works best according to their needs and the relevant program.

I suppose the same thing exists in the Huion settings as well...

same problem.

i updated fresco today (3/20/2022).

in the pressure sensivity adjust section, both light and heavy give the same result with no variance.

i have a huion Kamvas 16pro4kplus

when using the huion app (i have the latest, Driver_15.5.1.390) i can adjust the sensitivity and see the changes

pressure sensitivty works with photoshop,

Having this same problem. Pen pressure was working great yesterday and all of a sudden it stopped working in Fresco. My tablet drivers are up to date and the pressure is working in the Huion app but not in Fresco now. Was hoping there would be a fix.

Right? This happens over many years since Microsoft introduced Windows Ink, it happens with all Wacom tablets I owned over the years (I mean more than a decade now) and this simple problem is overlooked by Adobe.
I have been using the "PSUserConfig.txt" with the UseSystemStylus 0 in it for as long as I remember.
Now I am here because just like the original poster I want to know what is the equivalent procedure to make Fresco work in windows with pen pressure. I have 3 computers here with different windows versions, Win10 20h2, Win10 22h2, windows 11, 2 different Wacom tablets and 1 Huion Kamvas pro 16 display tablet, updated drivers and updated Adobe apps, and guess what? Pen pressure does not work in any of them in Photoshop, regular or Beta if I dont put the "PSUserConfig.txt" in the "...\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop XXX\Adobe Photoshop XXXX Settings" folder. Krita works just fine, Zbrush as well, Blender too. This is not Wacom, Huion, or Microsoft's fault, this is an Adobe problem for more than a decade. Just put a button somewhere to switch SystemStylus on and off and solve this issue...

Have you checked with Huion what sort of compatibility they expect you to have with their product on Adobe apps. Not saying it's not something Adobe shouldn't be looking into just wondering what the hardware provider expects as well.

exactly. I'd also check to ensure that his tablet driver is up to date as well
