My pen pressure is “working” but it’s messing up, it keeps hopping back to the biggest size
The top line is when I go fast and the bottom line is when I go slow. It seems to happen randomly and sometimes it fixes itself but mostly I’m stuck with it.
Please I would like help, Krita is the only drawing program I like.
This has been seen many times before. It’s because of a mismatch between the tablet settings in krita and how the tablet is actually configured.
It can also be caused by a faulty tablet (a very rare thing) or a bad or broken driver (unlikely with Wacom on Windows 10 nowadays, they seem to have improved a lot).
In Settings → Configure Krita → Tablet settings, swap the settings from Wintab to Windows-Ink, or the other way around if it was Windows-Ink to start with.
If that doesn’t fix it, then it becomes more complicated. You have a Wacom so I’ll suggest that you try using Wintab settings (because it’s a lot simpler than Windows Ink):
In Settings → Configure Krita → Tablet settings, make sure the option buttons are Wintab, not Windows Ink.
In the Wacom control/setup utility, there is the facility to make separate profiles for different applications. If you haven’t already done so, make a profile for krita and always select that profile when you’re making changes related to use with krita.
Disable Windows Ink in the Wacom setup utility. It’s a small tickbox somewhere.
Close the Wacom utility, close krita and do a power-off restart of your computer.
Let us know if that deals with the problem. If it doesn’t fix things, we’ll need to go through a question and answer session with screenshots etc.
So I had my computer turned off last night and I turned it back on today and the pen pressure is working again. It does that sometime, fixes itself so I am currently waiting for it to get messed up again.
My krita tablet settings is in Wintab and I’m not really sure how to get to my Wacom setup utility, Ionly know how to get to the Wacom Tablet Properties window
Looking at the first Intuos manual page uploaded by @Michelist, the on-screen window has the title “Wacom Tablet Properties” and the first thing it says is “Control panel lists and tabs”, then further down in large bold font it says, “CONTROL PANEL SETTINGS”. I can understand your confusion.
What I should have said is, “Use the Wacom doodah to change the tablet whatsits”. Everybody would have known what I meant by that.
Now that you’ve disabled Windows Ink at the tablet end, let’s hope that makes it work in a stable manner.
If not, you can try disabling Windows Ink at the Windows system level. That has its own particular doodah with many whatsits.
