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.

    There wouldn't be this kind of anger over something that was mediocre and easily reproduced.

    iPad with pogo stylus ;D

    I had an iPad 4 with a Pogo stylus. I still have the Pogo stylus. Sorry but I was completely disappointed with the Pogo and the iPad as a creative tool. The iPad is NOT an artist's tool, and neither is a Pogo. Both are just toys. Worse than using a crayon even if it does have simulated pressure. Even with a crayon I don't have to force pressure down on it until it makes a mark. My Surface pen without pressure is still leagues better than my iPad and Pogo ever was.

    On that note, I'm pretty pissed off. Someone here was right, releasing a tablet and bragging about the Wacom tech built into it when Photoshop and most other apps can't even take advantage of it is MORONIC. Either give me my money back, quit false advertising, or uh, GIVE US A CLUE. Notice I didn't say fix the issue because at this point all I'm asking for is an update letting us all know it's being worked on. It's April. I could have chosen something that actually works as advertised and gotten a LOT of work done by now. We all deserve some answers or updates! One update a month even..

    Here we are in April and zero word from Microsoft. They really know how to spill any wind from their sails.. or maybe that should read sales. Wacom mobile tablet due this Summer--will MS have this sorted by then? Like Apple, I think MS doesn't give a rat's **** about the creative community!

    Lets be real about one thing.  There wouldn't be this kind of anger over something that was mediocre and easily reproduced.  The surface pro is a pretty amazing little device, which meets my requirements in a way that few out there are capable of, especially for the asking price.  Initially, I was going to return it at the end of my window to do so, but I decided to wait for the driver because I can do a lot of workin Sketchbook Pro that I'd normally do in Photoshop.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm still plenty mad, and if this thing isn't out in the next few weeks, I'll be investigating returning it anyway, as it is not as advertised, and I feel that they've not delivered on their promise of a new driver "Soon."  The idea that they'd roll out a product like this with a wacom digitizer pen that didn't work in Photoshop is moronic and their handling of the problem has been abysmal at best.

    However, if they do put out a driver in the near future, this will be by far the best thing on the market for digital art on the go.
