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 have got to be kidding... The one software program that the pen should work with more than anything else, and it doesn't work and has no support..  I ordered this device last night because of all the talk about Wacom and that it's going to be a great tool for artists! I payed 1200 for this device almost specifically for use with Photoshop and other major design applications. It doesn't work... Well I guess I have two weeks to get some kind of positive answer from either MS or Adobe or it will most likely be returned.

    You guys are correct. We spend a lot of money, to show our support for this product, and what we where told it would do for us. Now we have the device in hand we are finiding out it is not as advertised. I really hope Microsoft will here our cries about this problem with the tablet, and release an update for it to work with photoshop. If they dont i will have to return my surface pro, because if i can't use it the way it should work in photoshop then it is a paperweight, and a waste of my money.

    Absolutely.  It is completely ridiculous that with my brand new surface pro and the much advertised Wacom pen, there are literally only a handful of apps that support pressure sensitivity. This is unacceptable. I don't care if it is adobes fault, Microsoft should take responsibility and address this issue and pressure their software partners to support this feature.

    This is digital heartbreak. The Surface Pro is amazing. It's an absolute dream of a computer. I really don't want to return it in 14 days, but I'll need to without this feature.

     

    Is there any way we can have some sort of assurance, one way or another, within two weeks, so I know whether or not I must return this beautiful machine?

    Yeah: everything else about this device is just amazing.

    Sucks that Microsoft doesn't appear willing to pay the license for WinTab.
