Pen Pressure not working new update photoshop 2020

[lauram75329553]

Hi,

I had this issue before in the Photoshop 2019, where photoshop do not recognice the pen pressure. I fix it in the 2019 version, by not enabling the windows ink when I am in photoshop, but apparently this trick do not work in the new version, I did try all I could find online and nothing is working.

I can not use the Update because of that, I am using a Cintiq 22 in Windows 10.

What can be happening?

Si funciona, solo cuiden que el archivo no tenga el .txt escrito por ustedes, para que funcione correctamente.

Just wanted to note that "PSUserConfig.txt" fix did work for me. Thanks, JJ and Ged!
CC2020 (21.03 release), Windows 10, with a Wacom Intuos 3.

I just did the same old trick, it works for PS 2020. I hope at some point Adobe add that damn script by default. Maybe Photoshop 2049 or so

Thank you for trying to solve this, didn't work with that solution for my, runing PS 21.1.13

I have just foudn the file ' PSUserConfig ' in my Adobe Photoshop 2020 Settings folder, and it already had the text 
' UseSystemStylus 0 '. Though the full file is written like this, do I need to change anything?
# Use WinTab
UseSystemStylus 0

# Use Legacy Healing Brush
LegacyHealingBrush 1

# Disable Scratch Compression for fast HDD

VMCompressionPages 0

# Use Overscrolling

OverscrollingAlways 2

What do I need to do as I still have the pen pressure problem using Photoshop 2020?
And do I need the rest of these listed commands? 

Please let me know, I am stuck and I am so excited for Photoshop and furthing my knowledge of the program.

For painting the best option for now is to revert back to 21.2.1. So leave the PSUserConfig.txt file unchanged, make sure that Windows Ink is disabled and downgrade. Don't forget to backup your settings folder before that or you will lose your settings.

It's a known bug. Adobe is working to fix it.

Photoshop, Pen Tablet & Windows Ink

Just downloaded the 21.2.3 update (0607 GMT) , and it works!

Photoshop is back to PSUserConfig and disabling Windows Ink! Woooooooo!

[jornh86739666]

I encountered this problem only today but it happend while I was updating and suddenly all sorts of popups opened up. "Camera Raw" was the popup that I couldn't get it off and had to restart my laptop.

I have tried the PSUserConfig - UseSystemStylus 0 on all the versions that I curently have. But nothing seems to work. I don't know what to do anymore 😞

[JJMack]

Was Photoshop update to 21.2.3 or did the update fail?

[jornh86739666]

I did just updated it. and it says that it is up to date ... but the problem is still there.

[JJMack]

Are you configured to use WinTab or INK.  To configure for INK you tablet  device needs to be  configured to use windows INK with Photoshop or All applications including including  Photoshop. You should not have a PSUserConfig.txt in you Photoshop's preferences folder.

I use WinTab with Photoshop and my Wacom pen my configuration look like this:

Disable Press and Hold Right Click.

PSUserConfig.txt in my user ID PS 2020 Preferences folder

Tip Double Click distance off and Pen Mapping  use Windows INK  NOT Checked.

[jornh86739666]

My pen pressure doesn't work anymore. I have updated photoshop and it is now up to day. I tried resetting the Prefs settings but no matter what I do the pen pressure is just not responding. I don't know what to do anymore. I already did the PSUserConfig.txt UseSystemStylus 0 trick but that doesn't seem to work. please help! my incom depents on this 😞

[JJMack]

What hardware are you using you seem to be the only one having problems with 21.2.3?. If you using a Wacom tablet does its diagnostic show every thing is working

[pnwfox]

The 21.2.3 update did not fix WinTab for me either. Still stuck using Windows Ink. Wacom driver is up-to-date, as is Windows 10.

[JJMack]

Even jornh86739666 got their pen working after reinstalling their Wacom driver.  Now there only seem to be a minor problem with  panning with tools that need to pan the image by switching to the hand toll via Space Bar.   The Wintab issue prevents the space bar switch to the hand tool  panning can not be done with Pen or Mouse.  With INK the space bar will switch to Hand Tool however you can not pan with the pen but you can pan with a Mouse.

Clearly Adobe broke something with CC2020 - have the same problem - PSUserConfig.txt for wintab works perfectly well in PS 20.x.x - NOT working in PS 21.x.x 

Can't we ever have an point update without someone breaking core functionality? 

See my other post about this - no reply from Adobe yet 

BUG - wintab NOT WORKING IN 2020 (21.0.1) 

UPDATE : I've gotten wintab to work on a new fresh windows install on a new workstation - so thats great - strange thing is that pressure sensitivity is NOT working at all on this config in PS2020 UNLESS wintab is enabled. wtf? On 20.x.x on new install everything is normal.

[Luan Maia Carneiro]

Well, the config file thing is not working for me and im lucky to have a very old wacom bamboo that my drivers dont have that options that the newer ones have so im stuck not being able to use my wacom on photoshop. The thing is, its only with photoshop... people are "blamming" on windows ink but everything else works fine for me. 

Problems i do have: 
First touch dont "paint" as it loads some windows ink circle

If i do disable windows ink my wacom dont work on photoshop with pressure anymore.

What is amazing is that this is a problem we can find in the forums for more than 2 years with no solution!!!! 

Thats another reason people are really talking about leaving Adobe ecosystem. I wish i could anytime soon.

[Tch2Chg-CreativeHolding]

I just tweet microsoft, photoshop and wacom, to see if they can address this issue, or bug. have a good time everyone. Tweeted from @Bookinco

[JJMack]

How can they address it? Only Adobe can.  They like us can only comment on the issues. Or did you mean Adobe when you typed Photoshop.  Adobe is well aware of the issues lets hope that Adobe address them.   Photoshop 21.0.3 works.......

[Tch2Chg-CreativeHolding]

Sure a mean adobe, but as long did on twitter and the specific issue is on PS I mentioned PS instead of adobe. lets wait until this can be solved. or use the wacom pen as a mouse. 

[JJMack]

To solve the problem currently you use Photoshop 2020 version 21.0.3 and use WinTab. Only Adobe can fix Photoshop....

[zegolem]

And they are the only ones we are going to quit... there are other alternatives and all the apps I have got are working as intended with my tablet... Seems they are looking for a monopoly of incompetence.
