Wacom Intuos4, ZBrush and Photoshop

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hi everybody,
HYA ZBER!!!

I have an ALMOST offtopic problem.
I have an Intuos 4 tablet, ZBrush (obviously) and Im trying to use Photoshop.

Here’s the problem (just one, I promise, I will ignore all the others for now):

Pressure sensitivity works great in ZBrush, it does NOT work in photoshop at all, nada, nuttin, zilch.
How do I turn it on?
Right now PolyPaint is a vastly better painting tool for painting things than photoshop, it works! So does PaintStop, So does SpotLight… and ALL of my other paint programs… all eight or nine of them.
Is photoshop compatible with Wacom Tablets? And if so…
WHAT is my friggin problem?

Cheers, and thanks for any help!

So…
I have gotten nowhere with this.
Apparently the Intuos 4 medium is incompatible with Photoshop 2017.
It’s also incompatible with an Nvidia GeForce GT 650M because it requires 512mb of ram and the 650m only has 2gb (snortgiggle, nice work there adobe! 2GB is more than 512 you asshat… It is however compatible with the Intel HD 4000 a very low power gpu with some random amount of ram that is a shocking order of magnitude less useful and far far slower than the Nvidia for graphics.
All in all I would say that paintDotNet, MyPaint and Krita are all vastly better programs if you want Wacom support, and if you want to be able to actually make things work correctly with your hardware. Also, they are all free, and anything Adobe is anything but.

I am amused!

Computers are labor saving devices that make our lives easier by…
wait…
why am I researching this crap when all I wanted to do was paint something?
GAH!!!
