    I was playing with an old massive tablet I had not used for ages, since Vista days and found I couldn't get the Pen Pressure to work in Photoshop no matter what I tried to do, including; Driver updates, different USB port, settings, app versions and many many reboots later I found an obscure solution on the internet:

    In the folder that matches your user and Adobe Photoshop version you use the following config file to allow legacy tablets to be used:-
    "C:\Users\{UserName}\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2015\Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 Settings"

    .\PSUserConfig.txt
    Code:
    # Use WinTab
    UseSystemStylus 0
    Close Photoshop (if not already) and open it again, it will then have pen pressure and tilt supported again.

    Well this could be useful to a very select group of people in 2016 :) I like you called it "massive" because that created some (probably) exaggerated dimensions for that tablet in my head :D

    It's A3 sized, so 18" by 12"

    That's massive alright... Oh yeah, a Wacom, I thought you were talking about a Vista tablet (which also existed I thought) but I gotcha now.
