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.

    They also said similar things about larger iPhone screens and 7 inch tablets and phablets and touch computers, which will no doubt make an appearance in OS Xi.

    Apple says things like that until the market says we want it and they recognize a market they can disrupt with a first generation product that semi-works (like the SP pen). With the animosity between Adobe and Apple at a continuing escalating scale with the failure of Final Cut Pro X and the subsequent migration of numerous Final Cut Pro users to Premiere and the continued debacle surrounding Flash, though much quieter now, it is clear that what they say can easily change tomorrow.

    Apple would make a pen as soon as they realized that a huge part of their market using Photoshop want it and were seeking other products to accomplish it. With the patent **** surround pen interfaces, it is no doubt difficult to disrupt the market and make a good, stable and working product in all graphic design or artist software. My .02

    He also called them "outdated and tacky"

    No iPen ever, looks like iPad users gotta stick to their fat Pogo pens

    If this fix takes so long what are the chances apple will nab the graphic artist community with a working tablet. 

    Almost zero, I would say.  Apple doesn't care about the professional artist niche market anymore.

     

    >>For those who haven't bought yet, don't until you actually see the drivers released and successful.  <<

     

    ...unless you want to use Manga Studio or Sketchbook Pro as your drawing programs.  I don't regret it at all since it's still way better than carrying around the bulky HP TouchSmart TM2 Wacom Penabled tablet with poor battery life.  And it's still way better than trying to use any type of drawing program on a MacBook trackpad.  When the WinTab drivers come out it will just be phenomenal I imagine.

    Haha. Casually, Steve Jobs once said: "If you see a stylus, they blew it".

    Can I ask, how good is Manga Studio as a drawing program? I mainly used Photoshop, along with ArtRage and Sketchbook Pro (they both came bundled with my cheap Bamboo tablet) so, I've heard it's great but still, better to hear from an user :D
