There have been so many questions lately about how to apply basic pen pressure settings for a Wacom tablet that I have made this simple little movie in hopes that it will help you set you tablet for every day use.
Sorry for the update. I spelled pressure wrong. I'll fix it in the image latter. Right now it is time to go do the Bunny-Day thing with the family

Have a happy day,

2) Are you using version CS 5?
If you are using version CS 5 see the tutorial at this [link]
But I still have a probleme.. I cant figure it out!
My tablet can do everything, but I cant seem to find pen pressure. I search on google but there is no answer if it has pen pressure or not...
Its A silvercrest, and it was not very expensive... But I thought like every tablet has to have pen pressure... Can you help me?

My question was more of a tablet problem.. Its the tablet that doesnt support pen pressure I guess, but I thought almost every tablet had that...
It it is grayed out or black and white then it is reading your tablet and there is another problem.
Wacom has great tools but they are nutritious for needing driver updates. Perhaps that's your problem though I can't say for sure.
By default the only brushes that react to pen pressure are the new art brushes. The are no settings to adjust by default they just come that way.
To get any other brush to react to pen pressure how ever you no longer activate it in the brushes panel but rather it can quickly be turned on and off for which ever brush you are working with in the task bar when the brush tool is active.
Anyway, to make a long story short click the brush tool. at the top on the right side of the options bar you will see three little buttons.
The first allows the tablet to control opacity. the second allows for the airbrush function and the third allows for pressure sensitivity.
For standard good old fashioned results just press the first and the third. For more of a spray effect rather than a brushed effect press all three.
I guess it's time I update that video. It's more than 6 and a half years old. Not only has a lot changed since then audio has come along way and no longer sounds so crappy. Not to mention that Camtasia Studio also includes controls in the interface now as well!
I will definetly try doing that because for so long have I wanted to use pen pressure on Photoshop
I appriciate your help a lot, so again, thank you.

for the pen pressure D:
In CS5 they have realistic brushes that are set to act that way when ever you use your tablet.
Just select one of those. OK?
Be happy and have a great day,
