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.

    Hugo, Fresh Paint is a fun little app, but it doesn't even offer layers. Until full Wintab support is in the bag, Surface Pro is a failure in my book. I know MS has big plans for future Surface models... I hope they have learned something from this and put Wintab styli on ALL of them. I would love a Surface 8" + stylus with ability to run any art app. I'm sure Haswell could pull this off...  maybe even better: Surface RT with Tegra4 and stylus that could be a true iPad killer esp with a *real* graphic arts app (ie not Fresh Paint). When MS announced 'Wacom' for Surface Pro, how could MS not figure out that *everybody* would immediately want to paint in Photoshop with it? My head is still spinning around! What is in the water in Redmond?

    Totally agree... this isn't totally Microsoft's fault. I suspect Adobe & Wacom are suppressing competition from devices that would compete with Wacom pen tablets and very expensive Cintiqs. I can't prove this, but is sure smells and waddles like a duck.

    I have a Sony Duo 11 which has a N-Trig digitizer and it works beautifully on Artrage and Sketchbook Pro... I get better control of pressure and line quality with it than I do with my Wacom equipped Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. There is no doubt in my mind that hardware has zero to do with not supporting N-Trig or Surface Pro. It is all corporate posturing and positioning and the creative community is barely a blip in the equation.

    There wouldn't be this kind of anger over something that was mediocre and easily reproduced.

    iPad with pogo stylus ;D

    I had an iPad 4 with a Pogo stylus. I still have the Pogo stylus. Sorry but I was completely disappointed with the Pogo and the iPad as a creative tool. The iPad is NOT an artist's tool, and neither is a Pogo. Both are just toys. Worse than using a crayon even if it does have simulated pressure. Even with a crayon I don't have to force pressure down on it until it makes a mark. My Surface pen without pressure is still leagues better than my iPad and Pogo ever was.

    On that note, I'm pretty pissed off. Someone here was right, releasing a tablet and bragging about the Wacom tech built into it when Photoshop and most other apps can't even take advantage of it is MORONIC. Either give me my money back, quit false advertising, or uh, GIVE US A CLUE. Notice I didn't say fix the issue because at this point all I'm asking for is an update letting us all know it's being worked on. It's April. I could have chosen something that actually works as advertised and gotten a LOT of work done by now. We all deserve some answers or updates! One update a month even..

    Here we are in April and zero word from Microsoft. They really know how to spill any wind from their sails.. or maybe that should read sales. Wacom mobile tablet due this Summer--will MS have this sorted by then? Like Apple, I think MS doesn't give a rat's **** about the creative community!
