Anyone else been having problem with their Wacoms of late?
I have the Pro, and over the last few weeks i've been noticing the pressure sensitivity in Photoshop play up.

Like small instances where it turns off for a second, but now its gone one step further, the pressure sensitivity doesn't work at all in Photoshop.
It works in every other applicable application.

Anyone know of a fix?

    Update your drivers, update Windows ? What is your Wacom ? I've not experienced any issues with PhotoshopCC.

    I've updated the drivers, Windows is current, In the process of updating Photoshop.
    I'm using the intuos pro, i've noticed these errors across multiple machines as well.

    *edit, Okay a full Wacom re installed has gotten sensitivity back. BUT
    it only works if windows ink is enabled, literally it was all working like smooth gravy this morning...

    this happened to me not too long ago and I couldn't get it figured out for a while. after searching for long time i found a post on another forum about it. I can't remember what forum it was, but I copied the post into a text file here is what it said


    Photoshop CC 2014 changes stylus use to use Microsoft system API's, with these API's you need to have Windows Ink enabled. These API's give better stroke results and improve the out of the box experience for users using Windows tablet/convertible devices. If you want to go back to the old WinTab implementation of previous versions do the following:

    Create a file that contains instructions to revert to the WinTab functionality.

    Create a text file in a text editor such as Notepad.
    Type in the following lines:
    # Use WinTab
    UseSystemStylus 0
    Save the file as a plain text file named PSUserConfig.txt, and save the file into the Photoshop settings folder: C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 Settings\.
    To turn off the gestalt's functionality, delete the PSUSerConfig.txt file. Or, move it to a different folder if it doesn't contain any other commands, or change the lines so they read:
    # Use Win8 native tablet support
    UseSystemStylus 1
