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.

    I tested CS6 and mx 2004. It works okay for about a minute and then every brush stroke freezes up Flash for about 30 seconds.

    Yeah, apparently Flash CS6 isn't even fully compatible with Windows 8 yet

    I don't think it should affect earlier ones though since Flash 8 works fine for me

    After a long a conversation with Microsoft Tech Support I've basically gleaned that they aren't taking any responsibility for the incompatibility and place the blame on Adobe's doorstep. Especially frustrating to me is that the pen not only doesn't have pressure sensitivity in Photoshop, the brush in Flash is unusable as every drawn stroke takes 30 seconds or so to register freezing the entire program in the meantime. 

    The patient tech support guy was getting all of his information from this very thread.

    But Panos Panay has publically said a fix is coming. However, If it is some lame kludge that just adds the eraser or some similar truly insulting 'fix', I'll just barf on the whole Surface concept henceforth and move on.
