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 will stop coming to this forum with the hope of getting some real updates. I just got something else that works as it was advertised. I am not disappointed, but simply made a choice. This product is not one of a kind. The only uniqueness of the S.pro is that it has a half-worked stylus. I mean, you will eventually get the driver, but does it worth several months wait time, your time! I used to envy this new MS product just like others, but I realized it is not ashamed to admit that you bet the wrong horse. Don't get emotionally attached just because you recommended this product to someone or you told yourself that you loved it or this brand. No, your time is much more precious than that. Return it or sell it to someone who doesn't need pressure sensitivity. I replied on DowerChin's thread, but this is for everybody.

    It's been a while since I wrote anything in here, but this is an interesting observation I made recently.

    I think there is a bit of added complexity in getting Wacom drivers working on the Surface Pro might be due to conflicts between the Wacom and Microsoft drivers... I'm only guessing here, since there is no official word from MS on this. In my most recent accidental experiment, I discovered that on my ASUS EP121 slate, I loaded Artrage 4 and the Wacom Penabled drivers from Oct 2012, and once I did that, the multitouch ability in Artrage disappeared... I can't say for sure if this is Artrage's fault or if there is indeed some conflict between the MS and Wacom drivers... Once I removed the Wacom Penabled drivers, Artrage worked like it should...

    If there is a conflict then give me a choice to load Wacom only.  The lack of any REAL updates from MS is discouraging. This is not the way to treat customers.

    I supposed this issue would go away if Adobe, Corel, and others did what Artrage did and make their software work similarly to Sketchbook Pro and Artrage 4, but until then, this is no excuse for MS to not try and come up with something until that day (if ever) comes.
