P: Wintab not working (21.0.1)

[Michael Elmkjær Madsen]

BUG : Photoshop 2020 has broken support for wintab via PSUserConfig.txt !!!
UseSystemStylus 0 


This has worked perfectly fine up until PS 2019 - Windows ink is a steaming pile of .... and NOT a viable option. 

(yes, PSUserConfig.txt is in the correct settings folder in Appdata, PS just seems to ignore it) 

We'll revert to 2019 until this is fixed, since wintab is the only reliable solution for pressure sensitivity on Wacoms with Windows workstations. 


MAJOR DEALBREAKER - pls look into this asap !

Thanks a lot, Chad. 21.2.3 works with PSUserConfig again on Windows 10.

PSUserConfig might be outdated but Windows ink is trash when drawing/painting and it really seems adobe is glossing over just how much of a dealbreaker this is for so many as it's not a fix, isn't accurate, causes a world of other issues, and makes professional cintiqs moot (that most of us use). 

If you have to turn off PSUserConfig a t least create a workaround for windows users in photoshop that allows to just tick off a box to revert to legacy pen pressure/input or something. 

I have the same issue in 21.1.4 and all future versions beyond that (this was the farthest I could roll back) and for what adobe subscriptions cost this really shouldn't be a problem at all. Hell having to edit PSuserconfig shouldn't have been an issue for so long, just make it an option in settings to use default pen input controls (if that's windows ink or whatever apple uses) or to use Wacom settings. Most of us don't care about a lot of the new changes if the very foundational use of photoshop is unusably broken.
