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.

    So Blue updates for Win8 seem to have leaked to a number of tech sites.  No sign of updates to the pen for the Surface in what I've read so far, but it would be nice to hear if the fix we so desperately need is a planned inclusion or if it's being worked on seperately.  As I've been saying, silence is just unacceptable at this point.

    I hope to see a solution to this too. For me it's not a big enough problem to make me want to return the tablet, but I can understand how much of a problem this is for people who bought the Surface Pro mainly because of the pressure sensitivity in Photoshop.

    I was going to look at the Asus TaiChi a while ago, and I would have gotten it, but the sticking point... It's not a Wacom... It's an N-Trig, so if the pen is what you want, you probably don't want the N-Trig. I can't vouch for the Samsung, but that does look promising. There's also the (if it ever comes out) Lenovo Helix, which also looks promising.

    I'm growing quite impatient with this. I check this forum almost every day for at least some kind of response from someone official. Nothing. I feel like requesting a return even though I'm beyond the 2 week limit because of what I feel has been false advertising, misleading potential buyers. I was misled and fell for it.

    I'm an artist and purchased this as a creative productivity tool based on all the things people were saying about the device capabilities as such. So far that functionality is almost non-existent because of a few simple but very important features that it lacks, but could be implemented.

    Growing more irritated each day, and at some point I will start blogging and posting everywhere I can, warning people to stay away from this device if they are buying it for the same reasons I did and many others here did.

    All we are asking for here is something like, 'We are currently working on a solution'. MS said something a while back and no one has responded since then with anything else, so what happened? Did they give up??? If you gave up then let us know, we deserve that much. If you're still working on it, then let us know!
