Pen Pressure Support on Adobe products
We provide pressure sensitive drawing experience on Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator/Animate(Flash) with VirtualTablet. However, it comes with a few conditions below.

- If you are Mac user, you just update your VirtualTablet Server to v3.0.2 or later and it will work.
WARNING: pressure sensitivity is not working in Adobe CC 2017 versions. We are trying to fix this now. Before that, please use Adobe CC 2014~2016 for the pressure sensitivity support.
