I recently switched from Photoshop to Clip Studio Paint for my digital art projects because I heard it’s better for comics. The problem is, my Wacom Intuos Pro tablet pen only registers pressure sensitivity in Photoshop. In Clip Studio Paint, the brush strokes are all the same thickness no matter how hard I press. I’ve checked the tablet driver and it’s up to date. I also tried resetting Clip Studio Paint’s preferences and recalibrated the pen, but nothing changed. I even reinstalled the Wacom driver just in case. Pressure works perfectly in Photoshop, so it’s not a hardware issue. Has anyone experienced this before with Clip Studio Paint? What settings might control pen pressure recognition there? Should I be looking at Windows ink settings or some hidden config? I want to avoid buying a new tablet if I can fix this software-side. Any tips or weird fixes that worked for you?

Since your pen pressure works fine in Photoshop but not in Clip Studio Paint, it’s probably a setting inside CSP causing this. Double-check the brush tool’s “Brush Size” settings - there’s a little pressure sensitivity toggle that can be turned off by accident. Also, in the Preferences > Tablet section, make sure “Use Windows Ink” is enabled or disabled depending on your setup; sometimes toggling this fixes pressure issues with Wacom.

Another weird fix that helped me once was to create a new brush from scratch instead of using a default one, as some brushes have pressure disabled by default. Also, try running Clip Studio Paint as administrator to rule out permission hiccups. If none of that works, there’s a known conflict with some Wacom driver versions and CSP, so rolling back to an earlier driver (even if older) might be worth a shot.
