Why is this necessary? (solution to Photoshop problem)

[GushingDizzy]

I have FINALLY found a solution that allows the pressure sensitivity of my Intuos Pro to work in Photoshop

It's been working fine for me on all other painting and 3D sculpting software, just not Photoshop, and it's been driving me crazy for the past year.

For some reason this technique has suddenly stopped working for me. And weirdly my PSUserConfig.txt file had disappeared from my Photoshop Settings folder so I had to do it again. Any ideas? I still don't have to do anything like this for any other program, but I've always had to do it for Photoshop.

Nevermind. I got it working again. Uninstalling and reinstalling the driver did the trick.

I STILL don't understand why this is necessary. It works, but why do I ALWAYS need to do it? Why only Photoshop, and why only Wacom tablets? I am forced to do it every time I get a new computer and/or a new tablet.

Hi,
The PSUserConfig.txt workaround should no longer be necessary.
