looped Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 Hi, I just started trying out the software and I can't get pressure sensitivity to work with the brush tool. I have an Wacom Intuos Pro M and Windows 8.1 I have tried the "force pressure" option and putting size jitter to 100% with Pressure Sensitivity but both yield the same result, a 1px sized brush without tapering no matter how large the original brush is.

Dan C Posted September 18, 2019 Posted September 18, 2019 Hi looped, Welcome to the forums Sorry to hear you're having trouble! Firstly please make sure you're using the latest version of the Wacom drivers, as there has been some known issues with older driver versions. Secondly, please uncheck Force Pressure on the Context Toolbar, then open the Brush Editor (More on the context toolbar) and provide a screenshot of your Dynamics tag. Many thanks in advance! Quote
looped Posted September 18, 2019 Author Posted September 18, 2019 Thanks for the reply! I am using the latest wacom driver and tried the dynamic settings in the attached image last. I fiddled with some of the settings one at a time to see if I could get a better result and that's why most are set to none now. Quote
Dan C Posted September 19, 2019 Posted September 19, 2019 Thanks for your screenshot looped, I can't see any issue with your brush settings in Affinity. Could you please check the settings in the Wacom driver itself? Specifically the pressure sensitivity settings? Quote
looped Posted September 19, 2019 Author Posted September 19, 2019 I haven't changed any of my settings and yet it works all of a sudden, so I reckon it is a driver issue on my end. Thanks for your help! Dan C 1 Quote

If not, you'll need to disable the use of Windows Ink in your Affinity Preferences, on the Tools tab. Affinity applications now use Windows Ink by default. matterender 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

I was also having problems with brush pressure sensitivity. I enabled Windows Ink, and this fixed the pressure problem BUT when Windows Ink is enabled you cannot use the Alt + Right click shortcut to resize and soften the brush! This is very frustrating. Anyone found a fix for using the Alt+ R Click shortcut when Windows Ink is enabled? Thanks. Edit, I found out that I could disable Windows Ink support in Affinity and this makes everything work again!

From what they've said, using Windows Ink allows better precision in detecting the pen position.
