How to Set Pen Pressure in Adobe Photoshop

After installing the tablet driver and connecting your tablet to your computer, you're now ready to use Adobe Photoshop. Here's how to set the pen pressure in Photoshop:

  1. Open your Photoshop and select the "Brush" tool from the toolbar.
  2. Choose "Window" then "Brush Settings".
  3. Select or check "Shape Dynamics" in the Brush Settings and set "Control" to "Pen Pressure".
  4. For Windows computers, please ensure Windows Ink is enabled on the tablet driver. And if you see a triangle beside "Control" under "Size Jitter", please change Photoshop to Wintab mode by following Step #2 in this article: Solutions for Photoshop Malfunction after Win 10 Updates.

  6. Restart your Photoshop or computer if needed.
