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 own all manner of iPad's, a Nexus 7, a Surface RT and now a Pro... I've also owned various flavors of WIndows Tablet PC's. While the iPad's are nice, I've never been able to completely integrate it into my workflow properly... That just might be me... But I was exceptionally excited about the Surface Pro. I always thought if Apple would have even entertained the idea of a digitezer in their product lines, even as an additional cost add-on, it would have pretty much dominated in all areas... But Alas, Apple seems to think the finger is mightier than the pen and pretty much missed the boat these last few years. I always felt with an Android Tablet or an iPad I had to shoehorn myself into their limitations, whereas with the Surface Pro, I don't need to, it's the opposite; I can make it fit MY needs - no compromises.

    This is the link that came up for me:

    http://cdn.wacom.com/U/drivers/TabletPC/ISD_DualTouch_710-8.zip

    I pulled it fromhttp://www.wacom.com/en/support/drivers, and chose the "Tablet PC" and "Windows 8" options in their pulldowns.

    I have been Googling about "Surface pro; zbrush review" since it was released, but found nothing. No wonder I got zero feedback. I am very thankful that you guys've addressed this issue and gotten MS's attention. 

    It is one of the biggest reasons that I am willing to buy this product, even though ALL of my Silicon Valley friends told me not to. One of my friends who is actually working for MS in Seattle suggested me to buy a ultrabook and a ipad mini instead with that kind of money. But hey, they forgot this thing has a pressure-sensitive pen that I can put in a good use when I am doing CG work, which they don't really need much when they are coding, so I don't blame them. But without the fully functional stylus, I ain't buying this, because there is no point anymore. I guess most of the artists in this thread would agree with me.

    Thanks again for bringing it up.

    Best.

    On the other software front, Sketchbook Pro 6 and Sketchbook Express work fine with the Surface Pro stylus.

    Though Sketchbook Pro must rely on WinTab for touch pan and zoom - because you can't do that like you can in ArtRage.
