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.

    It's probably going to be released "soon" as an official firmware update.

    Screw that, install it now and have fun

    anyways after a long long wait I think we can mark this topic as "solved"

    I can confirm that the drivers work in PhotoShop as well as zbrush! All I know is that my day is made. I would assume that flash would work since it is an adobe product.

    SOON IS NOW!!   I just tested it.  Photoshop works great!

    Great to hear it from an actual customer! :)

    May I ask, if you have the whole Adobe Design Premium bundles or the Creative Adobe Cloud subscription, could you test Flash Professional (it was almost unusable in SP tablets according to a YouTube video, plus it has a pressure sensitivity option in brushes).

    I'm curious as to whether the fix is only for PS or a general WinTab fix.

    Once again, this is amazing to hear. Now I can be sure that a Surface Pro (I'm not going to wait until Haswell, pfft) is a good enough investment,

    :D

    This is an official Wacom driver, so it works in any app a traditional Wacom driver would work in. I don't have Flash installed on the Surface Pro, but it's reasonable to assume it works similarly.

    It's released just like most TabletPCs work, where the basic pen support is in the OS, but advanced support and config are a Wacom Driver download away.  The difference with the Surface Pro, up until now, was that driver wasn't available yet. (From anyone, MS or Wacom)  Now it is.

    It still has bugs, so check the Read Me that comes with the driver, but it seems to function great so far.
