Surface Pro Pen pressure sensitivity is not working in photoshop CS6. Was anyone able to get their surface pro to use the pen pressure sensitivity? In my photoshop settings when i turn on Pen Pressure for brush settings i see a yellow exclamation mark next to each settings which has to do with pen pressure. If anyone knows how to solve this problem please let me know.

    Could someone with twitter verify that multitouch pan-and-zoom in Photoshop will also be fixed with this update? Twitter seems to be the only thing Microsoft responds to.

    I believe multi-touch pan-and-zoom is something Adobe built into Photoshop only for the Mac touchpads.  We'll have to complain to Adobe about not supporting multi-touch APIs on Windows.  Here's a good place to start: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/where_is_windows_7_multitouch_support_lenovo_x220

    They barely respond via twitter. 

    By pan and zoom, do you mean pinch to zoom?  That would be amazing, but seems very unlikely.

    I really hope this doesn't mean what I think it's going to mean

    They're just making a workaround for Photoshop only

    I'd be surprised if they could fix Photoshop with a driver update without supporting wintab more broadly - seeing that that's how Photoshop supports pressure. Unless it's Adobe releasing an update for Photoshop, and not Microsoft updating the pen driver, then it seems a strong possibility that this will fix the other programs as well.

    I'm a little concerned about pan-and-zoom in Photoshop, though. This also doesn't work presently, and I assume it's also a wintab issue. Hopefully it will be included in the mix? Perhaps this would be an easier thing to hack in if they leave it out?

    "...as well as an update to the Surface Pen driver to enable pressure functionality in Adobe Photoshop with Surface Pro."
