How Do I Turn Off Windows Ink in Photoshop?

Last updated on March 12, 2023 @ 7:01 am

Windows Ink is a handy little feature in Photoshop that allows you to quickly and easily add handwritten notes, sketches, and other annotations to your images. But what if you want to disable Windows Ink and go back to using the regular pen tool? Here’s how:

First, open the Photoshop preferences dialog by going to Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Photoshop > Preferences (Mac).

Go to Photoshop Edit menu and click Preferences

Next, click on the “Input” tab at the top of the dialog.

In the Preferences dialog box, find the Windows Ink Workspace section

PRO TIP: Windows Ink is a feature in Photoshop that allows you to use a stylus or other input device to draw directly on the image. This can be useful for adding annotations or for sketching out ideas. However, it can also be a major source of frustration if you accidentally enable it and then can’t figure out how to turn it off. If you find yourself in this situation, here are a few things you can try:

1. Check the Windows Ink Workspace settings. Go to Start > Settings > Devices > Pen & Windows Ink and make sure that the “Enable Windows Ink” option is turned off.

2. Try restarting Photoshop. This will sometimes reset the Windows Ink settings and disable the feature.

3. If all else fails, you can always try uninstalling and reinstalling Photoshop. This will usually fix any software glitches that may be causing the problem.

Then, uncheck the “Enable Windows Ink” option.

Click “OK” to close the dialog and save your changes.

In your computer, go to Group Policy Editor In the Local Group Policy editor, disabled the windows ink workspace

That’s all there is to it! Windows Ink will now be disabled every time you launch Photoshop.
