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.

    "When we started working on Surface we put the customer experience at the heart of all that we did. That is still true today and as such, over the coming months, you’ll continue to see updates and improvements made available to both Surface RT and Surface Pro customers. This includes further updates to the wireless system to reduce the instances where Limited Connectivity is reported as well as an update to the Surface Pen driver to enable pressure functionality in Adobe Photoshop with Surface Pro."

     

    From the surface blog.

    It's funny because this is almost exactly what I predicted they would say yesterday.  So now, I guess all that's left to hope for is that someone will at least get on here and provide some concrete info so we know what to expect.  i.e.....

    "We're working on wintab support and it's in testing right now."

    That assures that everything that works with a regular Wacom will eventually work on the Surface. 

    Or, "We're working with Adobe (and hopefully Pixologic) to implement the newer API's for pressure sensitivity in their software.  Wintab support is not in the works." 

    Then I would know that my only hope is to go straight to Pixologic to get support for ZBrush and I could stop checking back in here.

    In the meantime, at least I can use my Surface to browse the internet!  o________o

    Pianos Panay just stated 'in coming months' on Twitter and specified PhotoShop without stating generic Wacom support is coming. I replied on Twitter but am doubtful he will answer.

    Yuck.  How do I return this thing?  I could be happily working on a Samsung right now if I hadn't bought the Surface Pro.
