When I first downloaded Photoshop, I could draw with a 25 pixel brush and produce a line 1 pixel think. Now no matter how gentle I am, a 15 pixel brush produces nothing smaller than 10 pixels, same brush and all brushes have the same problem. My pencil brush is too thick and too dark, I use a huion gt-190 but only photoshop is having this problem.

Well done you.  LNP is the best add on for tablet users bar none.

No one has mentioned it, but if you are not already doing so, you should set your tablet to use the WinTab API

This page is linked from this forum's Overview page, and contains useful advice with  tablet users with Windows 8.1 and 10.  Please let us know if this makes a difference.  The feedback will help other users.

Tablet support for Photoshop on Windows 8

For other tablets:

If the tablet uses a WinTab driver that does not have an option to use Windows Ink, or if you encounter other issues (see below for possible issues), you can force Photoshop to use WinTab by performing the following steps.

1. Create a text file in a text editor such as Notepad.

2. Type in the following lines:

    UseSystemStylus 0

3. Save the file as a plain text file named PSUserConfig.txt in the Photoshop settings folder: [Installation Drive]:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2015\Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 Settings\

To turn off the reversion to WinTab in Photoshop, do one of the following:

  • Delete the PSUSerConfig.txt file.
  • Change the lines so they read:

          UseSystemStylus 1

I think you have to let us know what type of STYLUS (pen) you are using.  That is the only really way for people to help.

I see JJMACK has provided a lot of info..... GREAT INFO!

But you have to let us know the type of pen and the software for the pen.

Is it a WACOM tablet?  Or something else?

what does pen type mean.

I said about that my monitor tablet is a huion gt-190

The software control I got with the tablet is just called pen display. I can't see a reason why any of that would matter since I have normal pen pressure in my other software

What kind of pen do you have and have you tried to customize it feel.   Good Pens can be customized using its software

If you do not know what your pen is even how to you know its feel can not be customized?? You also did not post any of you Photoshop brush setting what size tip does that brush have. Your Photoshop brush for sure can be customized.
