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.

    Twitter chat. They now state they are working with Wacom. And that it should be soon. So much for Hugo's claim of Adobe needing to change and use the MS API.

     

     

    Thanks for the info.  I'm using toon boom animation software mostly so new drivers are 100% better for me than just fixing PhotoShop (although that's good too).  I have a cintiq 12, but I love the smaller surface pro for drawing where ever I feel like without a cord.

    Hello everyone.

    As Barb mentioned we are working closely with Wacom on a solution and we will provide additional updates as soon as more information is available. Thank you for your patience.

    Best regards.

    This is good news. Implementing the older win tab libraries integrated with the new MS ones will yield the best solution to meet demands for the pen working in not only Photoshop but a host of other applications that all respond to the wintab library. It should also open the door for better pen compatibility in the future too. Maybe we'll one day get tilt and rotation support too but for now I'd be happy with pressure sensitivity. But I must give props to the developers of the MS libraries that handle the palm blocking feature. That's been a problem with all tablets up till now. I understand that it's based on Wacoms electromagnetic resonance technology that they use in the Cintiq Touch devices. Nicely implemented in the surface. I won't be taking mine back. I know the hardware is perfectly capable and the software will catch up soon. I appreciate the response though. Please keep us posted!

    yup, promising. the devil is in the details. let's hope for good news soon.

    |You're my hero! This news has made me consider not being rash and taking mine

    back just yet. Hopefully we'll get something more concrete soon as this sounds

    promising.
