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.

    When writing up a review on our design firm's website for the Surface Pro and how well it performs (or not) for creative professionals, I referenced this site. Hopefully that will get a little more attention on the issue. Very much looking forward to Microsoft and/or Wacom addressing this issue promptly.

    Here's the review if you're curious:

    Nice review! I linked to it on our page of known issues for the Surface Pro here. Feel free to link back to us if you think your readers would like drivers or any other info we could provide to them.

    Very nice, I think I'd call those non i5 tablets a LOT less powerful, but overall a very good user review.

    Agreed, that was a very in depth review!  I've only had my surface for less than a day, but I agree on virtually all counts.  Gabe's review on penny-arcade that you linked was a deciding factor in me purchasing the tablet, interesting that you'd read the same thing!

    Personally, this is the tablet that I've been waiting for.  Powerful enough to run full featured apps like photoshop well, not just barely, but light enough to be comfortable to lug around.  Battery life is only a tertiary concern for me.  I feel like most tablets are geared toward better battery life already at the cost of performance/function.  I'd rather put my bottleneck in the battery, as you aptly suggest :)

    It reminds me a lot of a windows version of the modbook pro, except that it runs an OS designed to be a tablet and has touch support.

    Still getting used to Windows 8, but my god.  Turning off the touch features when the pen tip is near the screen = gold.
