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.

    the only reason that this is such a big issue is because we have dreamed of something portable like our own digital sketchbook since the very moment we used a wacom tablet on a desktop computer and said, "This feels awkward, it would be sooo much easier if I could just paint directly on the screen.", and from there the only answer was a cintiq which is overpriced and now behind in the times, in terms of it's portability.  And after years and years of not being heard, finally this surface seemed to address the issue of price, portability, and cpu power, and what happens?  Microsoft releases it with a flawed unsupported driver that doesn't work for the only program that we reeeeallly need pressure sensitivity in anyways, and then promises to fix the issue, and fizzles out into silence.  And all of this happens as wacom releases yet another overpriced unnecessary cintiq tablet that couldn't possibly matter less.  Yes if the surface had pressure sensitivity in photoshop, the cintiq sales would drop like a lead balloon.  They know it, we know, and so this issue isn't going to be soo easily resolved.  Microsoft could release a patch that would allow pressure sensivity in only photoshop and I'd happily buy it for a few hundred bucks, but that won't offset whatever Microsoft and Wacom has decided on, that would keep the old archaic cintiqs in a place of some value.  I had to get that out, feeling like everyone was dancing around this fact.

    WINTAB CONFIRMED, i think

    What troubles me is that this isn't wintab confirmation at all. They keep dancing around explaining what this fix is actually going to be and the only software anyone ever mentions is Photoshop, which isn't the only app out there that needs pressure sensitivity. It just keeps me thinking that whatever comes out is going to leave me severely disappointed.
