How to get PhotoShop CC to recognize pen input on a touchscreen PC?
|
Hello all,
I want to do what I thought was a simple task, draw in photoshop using the passive (I think this is what it is called) pen on my new touchscreen PC. I can get other drawing programs to respond to the pen but not Photoshop. It basically behaves like a click of a mouse and drag. I am not looking for any sensitivity settings or anything crazy. Just so I can sketch on the screen in Photoshop to draw out some thoughts and then start editing. About this stylus: Length:5.5"(140mm); Pen tube diameter 0.35"(9mm); Disc diameter: 0.27" (6.8mm) including 2mm rubber point ; Fiber tip Diameter:0.24 (6mm) Weight: 24g Materiel: Made from stainless steel and Aluminum, no plastic parts, real pen feeling Anyone have this solved? Thanks for any pointers!  Last bumped on Apr 26, 2018, 12:25:52 AM

" That's all it will do unless you use an input device that is specifically supported (source: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/support-touch-screens-photoshop-cs6.html). Last I checked Wacom devices are all well supported by Photoshop. Last edited by MonstaMunch#6519 on Apr 25, 2018, 12:28:02 AM

" Photoshop doesn't support it... I use other programs for pen details then import over to photoshop. "Another... Solwitch thread."

I think this is an issue that was introduced in a recent Windows 10 update. I was experiencing it with Photoshop as well. I followed these steps and it sorted it out for me.

" I think this is only relevant to devices that were supposed to be supported in the first place (the example given in your link is a Wacom tablet). I'd be very surprised if there's anything that can be done in relation to unsupported devices. |
