Hello @ashishbenn,

Could you try removing and reinstalling the Huion drivers, restarting your computer, and relaunching Fresco to see if that helps? Also, check for any pending OS(https://adobe.ly/42kTXfY) and Fresco(https://adobe.ly/3S3E8nG) updates and install them to see if it helps.

If the problem persists, try disabling Windows Ink under the tablet settings, and share your observations.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi,

I’m facing an issue with pen pressure not working in Adobe Fresco, although it works perfectly in Photoshop.

I’ve already tried the following steps:

• Reinstalled the Huion drivers

• Reinstalled Adobe Fresco

• Verified pen pressure functionality in Photoshop/other apps (works fine)

However, the issue persists in Fresco. I’ve attached screenshots for your reference showing the pressure working in Photoshop but not in Fresco.

Please let me know if there are any other troubleshooting steps I can try.

Thanks,
Ashish

Hello @ashishbenn,

Thanks for sharing the details. Could you try disabling Windows Ink under the tablet settings (https://adobe.ly/42GSEqG) to check if it helps?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Yes I did.

Windows ink is disabled still didn't happened.

Thanks for following up, @ashishbenn!

Just a quick heads-up — Adobe does not officially support or test non-Wacom third-party tablets, including Huion. That said, some users have found workarounds that might help.

Based on Huion documentation, try this configuration in your Huion driver settings:

• Disable: Game Mode and Mouse Mode

• Enable: Windows Ink

Even though Windows Ink didn’t help before, enabling it in combination with turning off those modes might be worth trying again.

Also, in the past, some users reported losing pen pressure specifically for brushes and erasers after tweaking individual brush settings. They weren’t aware that changing those could disable pressure sensitivity. Try resetting the brush settings. That fixed it for a few users.

A less conventional workaround — but one that has surprisingly worked for some — is:

• Installing Wacom drivers alongside Huion ones. Sometimes this triggers pressure functionality behind the scenes on Windows.

• Editing the PSUserConfig.txt file, which is often used for Photoshop, but it’s been known to affect Fresco as well. You can check out the steps in this thread:

Let us know if any of these help!

Hi Anshul,

Thanks for the detailed suggestions and for following up.

I've gone ahead and tried all the steps you mentioned:

1. Disabled Game Mode and Mouse Mode in the Huion driver.

2. Enabled Windows Ink again — even though it hadn’t worked earlier.

3. Reset all brush settings inside Fresco to rule out any pressure toggles.

Also tested the workaround involving Wacom drivers, but unfortunately, they don’t seem to be compatible with my Huion tablet. I confirmed this after testing — attaching a screenshot/image as proof [attach the image here].

Despite following all these steps, I’m still not getting pen pressure in Adobe Fresco. Everything works fine in other apps like Photoshop and Clip Studio Paint, so it seems to be limited to Fresco specifically.

Let me know if there are any other settings I might’ve missed or anything else I can try.

Thanks again for your time and help!

Best regards,
Ashish

Thanks so much for the detailed update and for trying all those steps. I really appreciate your thorough testing.

Quick follow-up: Have you tried the PSUserConfig.txt file workaround? I know it’s traditionally a Photoshop-related fix, but a few users mentioned it surprisingly helped with Fresco pen pressure issues too.

Curious to see if that makes any difference in your case.

Best,

Anshul Saini

Hi Anshul,

Thanks again for the helpful suggestions.

Just wanted to let you know I’ve tried the PSUserConfig.txt workaround as well. As proof, please see Image 03 attached, where the PSU step you mentioned has been completed.

Unfortunately, the issue still persists even after applying this fix.

Looking forward to any other insights you might have!

Best regards,
Ashish

Hi @ashishbenn,

Thanks again for staying in touch and being so thorough throughout the troubleshooting process.

I looked into the Huion Kamvas Pro 19 (4K), and unfortunately, there’s no official mention of Adobe Fresco compatibility in their documentation — they do list support for Photoshop, which explains why it’s working fine there.

Since pen pressure support depends heavily on driver-level integration, it’s up to the tablet manufacturer (in this case, Huion) to ensure their drivers work seamlessly with different creative applications, including Fresco.

It is also worth noting that several users with different Huion models have reported similar issues in this community, indicating a broader compatibility concern on Huion’s end.

At this point, I recommend reaching out directly to Huion Support to raise this concern and confirm whether support for Adobe Fresco is planned or if they can suggest any driver-side workarounds.

Best regards,

Anshul Saini

Hi! I've had the same issue as you for some time and guess how i fixed it, by NOT using the driver! I've also tried everything you've done and nothing worked till i just closed the driver and that was it!

[ashishbenn]

I did but not resolved.
