I can't get my pen pressure to work. I use a Hp laptop and a bamboo as my pen and I can't get the pen pressure to work

Did you install the Wacom drivers? Usually anything that Wacom makes works pretty well with krita

I don't use wacom

Who makes your Bamboo pen?

Alright I just checked and it is by Wacom but I only use a Wacom pen not the tablet

Your computer doesn't know how to handle what a Bamboo is, so it is going to have issues. Once your computer knows what to do with your pen, it will send Krita the correct pen information.

Do a search for Bamboo and install it for your computer. You might have to restart. That usually does the trick

I tried downloading one but it said tablet not found. I'm only using the pen. I tried downloading the bamboo ink stylus

How is your pen plugging in to your laptop? I am a bit unclear what type of Bamboo pen you have. I am guessing you have some touchscreen tablet that came with a Bamboo?

I have a windows 10 hp Spectre and I bought the Wacom bamboo pen. It connect through bluetooth

Ahh ok. I am not very familiar with that type of setup or what is needed. Maybe someone else knows more about those types of laptops paired with the Wacom bamboo

Check whether enabling the Windows 8 Pointer check in Krita's settings makes a difference.

How would I do that

How would I do that

1. Start Krita.
2. Open the Settings menu.
3. Open the Configure Krita dialog.
4. Open the Tablet page.
5. Select the radio button marked "Windows &8+ Pointer Input (depends on Windows Ink) (EXPERIMENTAL)".
6. Restart Krita.
7. Try whether your pen works.
