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.

    Wacom announces a "tablet for artists" of their own. I smell something afoot here...

    This doesn't bode well. Many of us, myself included, have held on to our Surface Pros in the hopes Microsoft's promises will come to fruition. But the lack of updates and now this is becoming unsettling. I really don't want to wind up with buyers remorse over this otherwise excellent product.

    I don't know about that. It's not like the Surface Pro is the only tablet PC that uses Wacom technology. Who knows why the Surface Pro was released without proper drivers, but they are hardly alone in using their digitizers and needing drivers to support them.

    I guess I could be reading into it, but I've read that anyone who had problems with previous hardware, they were able to download PC tablet drivers of wacom and it would restore/add functionality. Apparently that is not the case with Surface Pro. 

    Wacom has a monopoly in the artist's space with their tablets and Cintiqs. It just stuck me as strange that Surface is half-supported by them in this department, and they suddenly announce a competing device.
