The thing is, you did not even now let us know what OS you are really using, your answer, that I quoted here in this post, is a nice sentence without any useful information for someone that wants to help you. You tagged your topic with “Android” but a few lines below, behind “System** :” you put “PC/windows”, that makes supporting you not simpler.
Please try to give answers in the future that contain information that will help us to help you, because we do not see what you see, we don’t experience your issues, so we heavily rely on informative answers.
And now to your issue:
Let us try it with a step-by-step walk through your settings to make Krita use the pen pressure of your tablet, okay?
So, I guess it is okay to assume you have a Windows system, is that correct?
Now, the first thing you need to do is to create a profile in your driver application only for Krita, this helps Krita to work far better together with your driver:
Please open the manual of your tablet, it is found here, and hold it open in your browser, you will probably need it.
Now, at first start Krita for this and then go and open your driver application.
Now take a look at page 22 of your manual, that is point “3.9 Customize Press Keys and Pressure Curve”, there refer to the second picture. What you see there is a possible dialog that will be shown when you click on “All Programs” in the black title bar of your tablet.
Please click in the black title bar of your driver.
And now, in the list that opens after you clicked there, you have to search and select Krita. In the case that Krita is not shown in that list, you will have a possibility in that dialog that allows you to browse through your Windows and search for Krita, if you downloaded the Krita installer from Krita’s homepage, then you will find Krita here:
c:\Program Files\Krita (x64)\bin\krita.exe
And from now on, you always have to check if Krita is displayed in that field when you make settings for your tablet that are meant to be for Krita. Some modern drivers can detect the current active program and select it automatically, but not all, so you have to check it to be sure. But if you are lucky, and change directly from Krita to your driver, then it could be pre-selected for your convenience. Every setting you make when Krita is displayed there, will be for Krita.
Next step:
Go to point “3.7 Enable the Windows Ink Feature” on page 20, the Windows Ink option that is mentioned there has to be disabled, that means, you must remove the little red hook in front of “Enable Windows Ink”.
Now change to Krita,
where you need to check that WinTab is activated, you will find it via the menu ‘‘Settings’’ >> ‘‘Configure Krita’’ >> ‘‘Tablet Settings’’ where you have to enable ‘‘WinTab’’, then confirm that setting with the OK-Button in the lower right corner of that dialog and restart Krita.
Here, you can see that dialog from an older version of Krita:
Theoretically, your pen pressure should work after you confirmed that dialog with OK and restarted Krita. But I’ve learned just today, that there are tablets with an extra side-button which allows activating and deactivating your pen pressure at any time, maybe you crawl through your manual and search for such a button with your tablet if it won’t detect the pressure now.
It may be a good idea to make a backup of your settings, in the case that you now can use your pen pressure, so you can always revert to them in the case of whatever unlucky thing may happen. How to do it is shown on page 23 under point 3.10.
If it does not work now, then please report back and describe briefly what you have done so far, also describe where you are stuck, or what you do not understand. Keep in mind with your descriptions that someone far away has to be able to understand what you see right in front of you, to be able to help you.
It would also be great if you can tell us which operating sytem you use. Is it Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 or 11? Or are you really on Android?
