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.

    >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,

    So either they are conspiring with Wacom or are arrogantly dismissive of their customers, or possibly too cheap to pay licensing fees for Wintab (I've seen references to that issue but not sure if it is true). Either way, it paints MS rather poorly at a time when they seemed to really be focusing on quality and customer value. This is not a brand new issue that MS can claim to be surprised by. I was expecting better for the Surf Pro. I think in time MS will get it right, but the those damned 'first impressions' have a way of sticking, and MS surely is cognizant of that danger. This whole affair reeks.

    I was in Best Buy today to look at the Surface Pro. Not only did they NOT have it's stylus there with the demo model, the salespeople were insisting that ANY stylus would work and it WASN'T pressure sensitive at all. I know that it is (in theory), but the Best Buy people were so clueless, they thought it wasn't even a feature. Way to sell a product!

    That sounds like Best Buy all right! They'll say anything rather than admit 'I don't know'.

    Heh I love my iPad, but even really great software like Procreate doesn't hold a candle to having full fledged photoshop at my disposal.  Also-------------  Palm recognition :P
