Luminar 2018 and Luminar 3 both do not utilize pen pressure when using a Wacom tablet even though literature on your site specifies otherwise.

I have attached a screen shot. This is not the only place where it says it does. So wondering what is actually true? Many of us use this function and really is a time saver. So please advise if yay or nay and if nay when will it be functional per literature on your site?

  Hi Blair,

  When you have the tablet connected and are running Luminar with a brush tool active, you should see an option at the top left of the workspace (may be in a dropdown with other brush settings) to activate the pen pressure setting.

  Hello, 

   

  I'm having the same problem as Blair Govan. I'm running Luminar 3 in Windows 10 and have a Wacom pro tablet. The pen works fine in Photoshop, but I can't change the brush size or opacity with the pen. I have found the drop down meny, as mentioned in the answer above, to select the brush settings, but the brush wont change anyway with different pen pressure.

  Any suggestions?

   

  Thanks.

  Hi, I'm afraid this functionality is currently available for Mac OS only (Luminar 3) and you might indeed experience problems on Windows. We'll try to fix this in the future updates, I've already sent all the infos to our tech dept.

  Hi Javed, 

  I regret to inform you that we do not have a precise ETA for this feature at the moment.

  Currently, our team is focused on improving the stability and performance of the application, as well as implementing some fixes. However, as soon as we have any news regarding the update including pen pressure, you will be notified.
