PROBLEM

When you turn Windows Ink off, there is no pen pressure. If you turn Windows ink on, you have pen pressure but with input lag.

 

SOLUTION

Check this article to learn how to keep the pen pressure enabled and avoid input lag at the same time.

1. Search for Pen in the Windows 10 search box.

    Hi,

    Is Windows Radial supported? I see on the image of the Intuos there is the "Control Ring" which is on Intuos Tablets and other Graphics Tablets also, some claim "Windows Radial" support which lets you use the protocol with a device OTHER than a Surface Dial accessory. A reply would be much appreciated on this topic.

    Hi Julian,

    Thank you for your question.

    Windows Radial is not supported by Capture One. However, this suggestion would be forwarded to the Product Management team for further consideration.

    And what can I do when the "Flicks" Tab in the Windows Control Panel is missing?

    I'm running out of ideas and searched the whole Internet for a solution.

    I can either chose between Using Windows Ink (with Pen-Pressure) and horrible Lag (probably because of Flicks) of no Windows Ink with no Pen Pressure and no Lag.

    Is there maybe a fix for it when writing something in a config file of C1 or so?

     

    This is making me crazy.
