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.

    sent a tweet to @panos_panay

    Made my question as clear as possible. It'll probably go ignored though

    After a long a conversation with Microsoft Tech Support I've basically gleaned that they aren't taking any responsibility for the incompatibility and place the blame on Adobe's doorstep. Especially frustrating to me is that the pen not only doesn't have pressure sensitivity in Photoshop, the brush in Flash is unusable as every drawn stroke takes 30 seconds or so to register freezing the entire program in the meantime. 

    The patient tech support guy was getting all of his information from this very thread.

    I had the same issue with my Sony Vaio Duo 11.  Flash CS6 and Photoshop started acting weird atfer I turned OFF the Flicks in the Pen control panel.  Turning Flicks back on made the issue go away.  Hope this helps you with your issue.  You can also try playing with the other Pen control panel options and see if it fixes it.

    Yep.  I tried one more time to get a response from @surface, and they just gave me the same line.

    I'm guessing their solution is months away and half-baked.  By that time, we'll have info on Wacom's offering.

    At this point, I'm swearing off Microsoft hardware.  Their handling of this issue has burned a customer for life.

    Well it seems they already lied about full Wintab support so it wouldn't be hard to believe if they lied about that too.
