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.

    I've read that the helix is even worse and doesn't work with pressure sensitivity at all...

    Its really not a question of if Adobe should fix it or not.  If it had an NTrig digitizer, we'd have known from the off that it wouldn't work, and I wouldn't have wasted my money, but it didn't.  It had a Wacom digitizer, and it was misleading for microsoft to produce literally the only wacom digitizer that doesn't use wintab.

    We were also told that a fix was being developed then being tested, then somehow being developed again, then absolute silence.  We don't even rate a simple explanation of where they're at with a crippling issue.

    Apparently the same day I managed to get a shipping label, the better half decided it was fine to chuck the box, so looks like I'm back up a creek.  Off to ebay, I suppose.  The helix looks promising!
