Pressure Sensitive Wacom Tablet

[tn100]

How do you know if you have a pressure sensitive Wacom Tablet? I got one from a friend that bought it about 2 years ago. It's grey and doesn't have any extra buttons like the fancy ones. When I paint in photoshop with the brush, it doesn't vary in darkness or lightness or line width. Do I have to turn on some option in order to make it have pressure sensitivity? How do I check if mine has the ability to be pressure sensitive? I have never actually seen anyone paint with pressure sensitivity before but I'm just assuming that the line width or color darkens and lightens.

Also, what is a Wacom Bamboo tablet? What is different about it?

Window > Brushes. Click on anything in there (shape dynamics for instance) and change the settings of whatever to Pen Pressure.

For instance, going to Shape Dynamics and then changing Size Jitter to pen pressure will make it so the harder you press, the thicker the line us,

You can look up the model number on the manufacturer's website and find all of the specifications.

If it is a Wacom brand tablet and about 2 years old, I'd say the odds are in your favor.
