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.

    Did you just install the driver or do you uninstall something first?

    Just install it.   it is made to cooperate with the MS driver, so they don't conflict.

    That is a good point. How about people who have one and are not religiously following this thread? I think it would be good if it was included in a Windows Update.

    This isn't going to happen.  TabletPCs have shipped this way for years.  The basic driver is included, and the advanced Wacom driver is almost always separate.  I've had to do this on my Toshiba Tablets, HP, IBM, etc.  They aren't going to include any drivers that the average person may not need (That's Windows Rule #1. Driver conflicts can crash systems, and without knowing what else you're going to install, keep it third-party.)  If you need it, you now have it available as we always have in the past.

    Kudos to Wacom for getting this out, and kudos to Microsoft for working so closely with them to make it a reality faster.

    Marking this thread as answered will allow any users searching for a solution to find the driver link on the first page immediately.

    As far as MS sending out a patch, there has been no real answer other than the tweet so I would recommend everyone stop holding their breath. If this is anything like the other patches/updates MS sends out, the "System Hardware Update" will override and remove any conflicting software and replace it with the MS solution/fix.

    If I had been waiting on this, I would be thankful for any solution that is quickly accessible.

    I agree though, MS needs to step in and say when they plan a patch/update to be sent out. I doubt any moderators here have any clue. MS needs to post an update on their page.

    Still, this is progress. It also shows a commitment form MS to the Surface which I take as a good sign.

    Well, right now, it shows a commitment from Wacom.
