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.

    You could advertise this on kickstarter to drum up support and funding. 

    Personally I won't mind paying for such a plugin.

    Please include support for a 2 button digitizer pen.

    There is nothing " pro" about this worthless pen Microsoft provided with the device.

    It almost seems like no one at Microsoft thought it would come in handy for left clicking.

    Everyone, I own a company that develops plugins for adobe called generation digital solutions. www.generation-digital.net. We have purchased a surface pro and are in the process now of building the pressure sensitivity for adobe products. We may actually just build this as a tool that you can activate at any time and this will give you pressure sensitivity in any program you want. Please visit our website and send us your comments so we can build this tool as advanced as everyone needs. We should have something ready in a month or so but we will keep you posted on the process.

    Thank you for reading and please reach out to us.

    One thing I would like to suggest is for Microsoft to release a WinTab driver for the their MS Ink API to translate the MS Ink output into WinTab.  This would allow all WinTab supporting applications to work with all Windows 8 pen enabled devices using both Wacom and N-Trig technologies.  It would be the magic bullet to solve most of the issues other devices are also having.

    I know. I am trying to stay objetive and think independently about what can fulfill my needs for work and hobbies. I don't like people to worship one brand and attack another, like they are watching college football games, and I never consider "ipad mini and ultrabook" as an option, because I already have an iPad, and a Macbook pro. Plus, it just doesn't add up like that, and even it can, the pen is still missing. 

    S.pro is good, I say, but I am still not going to buy it if the pen can't perform functionally in Zbrush and Photoshop, and I am surprised that the marketing person of MS is lack of sensitivity about how important this function is, and they just released their signature and long-promoted product like that? Or maybe something is behind it, because they never promoted their pen about the "pressure sensitive" function, not in their conference, and not on their website of product description. I didn't know that it has this function until I tried it in MS store, and the store assistances knew nothing about it. I don't know if it has anything to do with their contract with Wacom in order to avoid hurting the sells of Cintiq product line or they just don't think people would care to use that pen in some popular apps until you guys brought it up. I don't know,  it's just something I sensed, hypothetically.

    Hope they will have the drivers ready asap.
