Question

I have been using my touchscreen laptop with my bamboo ink stylus. It was working properly until a day ago. Now I every time I want to use the pen, I need to wait for a second to do a brush stroke or eraser tool. If i use it normally, it will recognize it as a finger and scroll in the direction of the stroke. This cause slow drawing time than I normally get. ANyone know how to fix this?

    Windows show you have Pen support.  Is Photoshop Seeing you have a pen.  With a document open a brush tool active does Photoshop see you have a pen or show a yellow warning in Brush Setting Shape Dynamics?

    Photoshop supports touch jesters like scrolling, zooming etc. Not touch drawing for tolls like paint brushes you need pen support not a stylus they are a finger substitute lack lack some pen functions like position the cursor before touching the surface.


    I am using this. Before the problem, this pen(stylus) worked perfectly on Photoshop CC 2017/2018. When I create a stroke. It takes a second before photoshop recognizes the pen's tip (nib). It acts as if it was the move command, scrolling in the direction of the pen's movement. The brush smoothness is fine. there is no delay there. the delay happens at the start of each stroke.

    Last night after messing around, I noticed that I had to press the lower button on the pen to bypass the problem. But i dont want to have to press the button consistently to create a brush stroke or easer. Since this didn't happen before, it's got me thinking that Photoshop itself changed a setting. The Pen's driver is updated to its recent driver for my laptop and the settings are at the default as before.
