1. Open SAI.



2. Ensure that “Mode” is set to “Normal” and “Preserve Opacity” is not enabled.




3. In your brush settings, ensure that “Min Size” is set to a number under 100%. Lower “Min Size” allows for a higher range of pen pressure.




4. On SAI’s toolbar, click “Others,” then “Options.”




5. In the “Digitizer Support” tab, set “Click detection pressure” to “0.”



6. Click “OK.” If pen pressure is still not functional, open SAI’s installation folder, then open “misc.ini” in a text editing program such as Notepad.

7. Scroll down to “TabletMouseSimulation.”




8. If it is set to 0, please change it to 1, then save and exit.

9. If it is set to 1, please change it to 0, then save and exit.

10. Open SAI and test for the issue.
