Hello,

I've searched the internet and cant seem to find the solution. The short of it is that I have a huion drawing tablet and it works fine in any other application I run but in Photoshop i can’t seem to get any tools to work on the canvas. If I use my mouse its fine but the huion pen doesn't register at all.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What layer type are your trying to paint on. Layers like smart Object layer pixels can not be changed by Photoshop tools like paint brush etc. You can not paint on adjustment, shape, text. layer. Paint on raster layers.

Make sure your tablet and Photoshop use the same API either WinTab or Microsoft INK.

Old Perpetual Photoshop versions only have WinTab support they do not have Support for Microsoft INK programmed in.

I would think the Mouse cursor would move but would not register clicks or pressure if they were not using the same API.

I do not know how Pen support works on a Mac it you are using a Mac
