| Pressure | If your tablet supports pressure sensitivity, it will control the intensity with which the current operation is applied, relative to the intensity selected with the slider. In other words, if the slider is set to 50%, full pressure will result in 50% intensity, if it is set to 100%, full pressure will result in full intensity. |
