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.

    With all due respect, first we were told "soon", now "coming weeks".

    And coming weeks is for more information on progress and not the driver itself,

    as per "and we will have more to share on the progress in the coming weeks".

    Steven Bathiche (@sbathiche on Twitter) stated on February 12 "we are actively

    working with Wacom, it should be soon"

    If you really do have a driver in testing, please make it available as a beta driver

    for those who want to take whatever risk associated with using a beta driver,

    just like many other hardware vendors do. This beginning to look like a carrot

    and a stick situation. Make a vague promise and follow it up with more vague

    information.

    If you are not the person making the decision on making a beta driver available,

    then please ask that individual to participate in this thread.

    I am certain I am not the only person who would be interested in a beta or even

    an alpha driver. If you want a non disclosure, I have one on file or would sign

    a new one. And if you want feedback on a beta driver and performance with apps

    (which Microsoft SHOULD want) that could be done on Connect.

    Hello everyone,

    Thank you for sharing your feedback

    Our team is working on, and testing an update for the Pen driver, and we will have more to share on the progress in the coming weeks.

    Best regards.

    I guess I could be reading into it, but I've read that anyone who had problems with previous hardware, they were able to download PC tablet drivers of wacom and it would restore/add functionality. Apparently that is not the case with Surface Pro. 

    Wacom has a monopoly in the artist's space with their tablets and Cintiqs. It just stuck me as strange that Surface is half-supported by them in this department, and they suddenly announce a competing device.
