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.

    Hello, I'm a surface pro owner too and am also frustrated with this situation.  However, I did read somewhere that the free offering from the zbrush team called Sculptris may support pressure sensitivity on the surface. I'll have to test when I get home.

    Wacom just released info on the 13HD today, and they have a tablet coming this summer? Maybe we have our answer right in front of us. Why play ball now? Why not hold out till this Fall to offer driver support? Wacom may be protecting their own interests here. If they release drivers to make the Surface the portable Cintiq a lot of us have been waiting for, they might be cutting their own throats before they release a product of their own.

    Is Wacom even developing these drivers at all?  They might be reaching out to Wacom for assistance, but I'm pretty sure this is mostly on Microsoft (even though the digitizer is a Wacom part).  In a way, that's a good thing because a Wacom tablet might force Microsoft's hand....but the way they've responded so far doesn't inspire much confidence that this is getting done anytime soon.

    And really, I don't even care that much about Photoshop, which is all people seem to be talking about.  I need pressure sensitivity in Zbrush, so I don't even have alternative programs to use as a stopgap in the meantime.  It's extremely frustrating and disappointing.

    Microsoft already stated that they were "testing drivers". I asked for a beta driver and was told that they would pass the request along. Of course there was no follow up and no driver has been made available. There is no transparency on this issue. Clearly there is something amiss. I wish Microsoft would come clean and give a REAL status update and provide a beta driver.
