Loss of brush pressure on first brush stroke

[tbkale361]

This has been a recurring issue - when I leave Photoshop to use Safari or Bridge or Illustrator, etc., and then go back to Photoshop to paint, I have no pressure. It will return if I select a different brush or tool, but if my first action is to paint, there is now pressure sensitivity.

MacOS 10.14.6, Ps 2020 21.2.1, Wacom Cintiq Pro 24 (6.3.40-2)

Hi!

Thanks for the information! Have you updated your Wacom drivers? And one more question, have you tried resetting your preferences? Here is a link for information on resetting your preferences:https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html

Let us know if this fixes the problem or if it continues?

Thanks!

I've tried this a few times with no luck (prior versions), but it actually seems to have worked this time.

Ugh... It's back and happening again.

It seems like it only happens if a brushstroke is my first action. For example: I have Ps running on my Cintiq. Other apps (Bridge, Mail, Safari) running on my iMac. I switch from Ps to Safari with cmd-tab. If I then click on Ps with my pen and draw, it does so with no pressure sensitivity. Other methods (click on Ps with mouse, cmd-tab to Ps) of switching to Ps lead to normal drawing. I guess I'll try reloading my Cintiq prefs again.

Thank you.

It sounds like you're heading in the right direction. Let us know if reloading the Cintiq prefs fixes the issue.
