P: New Pen Pressure Bug

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Latest update is causing brush to randomly lose pressure sensitivity for a few strokes at a time (especially/but not limited to: after zooming in or out). Have not had this issue prior to latest update. Any solutions?

macOS or Windows 10?

MAC

Are you using a Wacom or some other brand of tablet? How are you zooming in and out? Express keys? Keyboard? Tool?

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Current gen cintiq, zooming out with +/- or zoom tool. But it's not limited to only after zooming it will just occur randomly as well.

I'm experiencing this bug too. I lose pen pressure on Mac Catalina when rotating canvas. 

[raydsr]

Also, rotate canvas command cause image to shift to a new location when zoomed in. 

[J453]

Can you make a screen capture of what you're seeing with zooming not working correctly with canvas rotation? I've tried reproducing that with no luck.

[raydsr]

It happens when already zoomed in and then rotating. Instead of the canvas staying in place, it instantly snaps to a much lower portion of the image. 

I'm in the middle of a job, but will send a screen capture when I finish. 

[J453]

I think I may be seeing what you are describing. You have floating documents turned on (not docked in the app frame), correct?

[raydsr]

Yes. I do not use the application frame. I just made a screen recording...

The pen pressure bug just popped up again too. 

[raydsr]

As others have noted, the pen pressure bug most often appears when clicking on another app. It also reverses itself by clicking on another app a second time. I lost a lot of time dealing with the various bugs while getting through my illustration job this week. Disappointing considering the very costly monthly subscription to Creative Cloud.

This is incredibly frustrating, I updated today (Mac Catalina) and I am losing my pressure on and off all day.

[raydsr]

Jeffery, does the latest update fix these problems in Mac Catalina? 

[Andre Schneider]

I am having the same problem as the original poster. Cursor looses pressure sensitivity quite constantly (like every 5 or 10 minutes).

When it started I'd quit PS and restart it, now I found out that clicking once with the mouse would re-establish the pen pressure, but it's a real pain in the neck as I have to get the mouse, click, undo (because I very rarely want a 100% pressure brush) and then go back to the pen and tablet. Extremely annoying and disappointing considering how much we pay for the subscription.

Using a MacBook Pro 16,1 with Catalina 10.15.4 and a Wacom Intuos Pro with the latest driver. I imagine it's a PS problem thou as this only happens in PS.

The latest update didn't fix it.

[J453]

PS 21.1.3 has fixes for pen pressure.

[Andre Schneider]

Jeffrey, I am on 21.1.3 and still have the problem...

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

This has started happening to me since update, happens every time I show and hide a layer, I have to reset the pen for the pressure sensitivity to come back. Very frustrating!

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Updated to 21.1.3 and the problem persists. Still just randomly losing pressure often --- my current workaround is to have my current brush easily available as a tool preset in the floating window so i can quickly reset the tool. Please help!

[Andre Schneider]

So Adobe... Any news on this?

[carminecuccuru]

Same Problem..Ps 21.1.3, Wacom Intuos Pro, Mac Os X Catalina
Frustrating. I've Reinstall wacom driver, reinstall photoshop but the problem remain 

[J453]

There are additional tablet fixes going into the next updated.

[Andre Schneider]

The 15th can't come soon enough (hopefully with fixes to this pen pressure bug and to the brush visibility in midtones...

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Yes! This exact thing has been happening to me for weeks! Especially when I switch between Firefox and Photoshop. I've updated/reinstalled everything (reinstalled drivers, reinstalled Photoshop, all my plug-ins, firefox, my OS...) and nothing's helped.
