How to Enable Pressure Sensitivity in Manga Studio 5 on a Yiynova Tablet in Windows 10
A few weeks back, I wrote about my frustration with installing Yiynova’s drivers in Windows 10. The drivers have been updated to 8.0.2, as of this writing. While my stylus was recognized by the Yiynova, it would not work as a pressure sensitive device.
After some experimentation, I believe I finally have a solution for folks who are running Manga Studio 5, Windows 10, and a Yiynova tablet monitor. To enable pressure sensitivity within Manga Studio, go to File > Preferences > Tablet and select Tablet PC instead of Wintab (which is selected by default).
Your Yiynova tablet should now work correctly with pressure sensitivity inside Manga Studio.
Unfortunately, I don’t have Photoshop, SAI, or Sketchbook Pro to properly test pressure sensitivity within those apps. The solution above works if you are running Manga Studio.
Hope this helps a few people out.

November 23, 2015 at 11:57 amI’m running Windows 10 with a Yiynova and Photoshop. Here’s the deal, at least for me: The pressure-sensitivity works fine in Photoshop, as long as you’re running the original Photoshop CC from 2013. According to information I found on Adobe forums, Adobe made a change with the 2014 version and later that uses Microsoft’s system APIs, so you need to have Windows Ink enabled. However, I have not as yet been able to figure out how to do this and I can’t get the pressure sensitivity to work in CC 2014 or 2015. (It’s not just Yiynova tablets- people using Wacoms have reported similar issues.) So I keep a copy of the original CC for when I work with the tablet. Not the most elegant solution, but it works. I’m also using the older driver (5.0.2), at least on my main machine. Seems to work just fine. I have the 8.0.1 driver on my Windows 10 laptop, and that also works fine, as long as it’s the original Photoshop CC.
