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.

2013-02-15T19:02:25+00:00 If you need alternative options, ArtRage 3 Studio Pro works great on the surface with pressure sensitivity, and I've always found for sketching its far better than photoshop, then just export to PS to do your final line and color work.
That's what I've been doing anyways...
I've evaluated this, because I'm going crazy waiting for the drivers while my hobby sits idle. In the end, though, ArtRage is really lacking in some key areas I need. First off, the multi-touch rotation drives me crazy - I really wish I could disable it and just use pan and zoom. Also, I can't open some of my Photoshop files in ArtRage - they have a lot of layers and it just gives up. I got one of the smaller ones in, but can't verify that everything would be preserved if I saved it out to Photoshop. It also loses some layer properties on the way in (like coloring a layer), and I've found turning layers on and off (to figure out what they are) to be really sluggish.
I might still make it work if I absolutely had to. But I really hope I get those Wacom drivers soon.
Any update on this?

2013-02-15T00:01:26+00:00 You're using TB Animate on the Surface Pro? How does it work for you? Does it run well? We were going to get Surface Pro because my wife will start to have to do some Photoshop work in the field soon, and it sounded perfect. However the pressure sensitivity problem IS indeed an issue for us as we are actively drawing in it. Hopefully this will be ironed out otherwise we may have to look elsewhere...
I'm actually running TB Harmony 9 on it, but it's a lot like Animate. It seems to run well with the exception of the pen, but then again I haven't done very much with it. The pen so far seems to have a bit of lag in addition to the non pressure sensitivity. I'm going to play with the settings a bit though, as I know there were sometimes these issues before and some windows settings helped speed things up.
